If a single drive you want master. There is two ways to do it.
1. Use cable select.
a Set the jumper on the back of the DVD drive to cable select.
b Use the last connector on the IDE cable. This is the master connector when using cable select. The middle connector is the slave.
2. Use...
In my experience I've had trouble with Realtek NIC waking my computers which wasn't being reported by powercfg. I found a fix.
Start menu -> Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Network adapters -> [right click] properties on realtek NIC -> Advanced Tab -> Wake on Patten Match -> Disabled
Run Command Prompt. (Start menu -> Run -> [type] CMD ->[Enter])
In the Command Prompt window [type]: powercfg -lastwake [Enter]
This is supposed to tell you what woke your computer.
The HDHome Run Prime is the cablecard tuner by Silicondust. It does not do OTA. All the other HDHomeRuns are OTA tuners. None of them do cablecard, but they can do QAM if your local cable doesn't encrypt.
There isn't a cable card tuner for PC on the market that can do OTA. I don't know why...
I would choose a different motherboard. You don't need to pay for Z97 if you are not going to overclock, unless you want to use SLI (in the future). However the Asus Z97-P ATX doesn't support SLI.
Probably a bad USB cable.
In a similar circumstance I had trouble with a new cable modem initializing. Replacing the long cables with shorter ones I had fixed it. But it put my modem far away from my desk. After some investigating I found out that the cables I have are poorly shielded RG59...
If you are suddenly getting this message when trying to watch TV on your HTPC then you may be affected by a bug in the latest Windows update. Specifically "Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3004394)" This bug appears to only affect cablecard tuners using WMC on Windows 7.
Bug as discussed on...
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they also have to match same in the number of chips and and match single sided or double sided?
Anyway, Wikipedia also mentions "rows and columns". Whatever that means. At any rate Wikipedia is often known to be wrong. So don't take it as gospel...
RAMPAGE EXTREME - Specifications
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/RAMPAGE_EXTREME/specifications/
I glanced at the available BIOS updates and it doesn't list anything that would suggest that the max memory size had increased. I'd have to believe that the board only supports 4 x 2GB for a...
Order from amazon first. Wait eight days then order from new egg.
Since you are poor like me I know you will be using the cheapest shipping option they offer.
Both orders should arrive on the same day.
Seriously, placed two orders last Wednesday. New Egg order arrived today and then...
Yep, HDMI 2.0. But you don't need an HDMI 2.0 cable as the cable is the same as an HDMI 1.4 cable. Its the other ends of the cable that need the HDMI 2.0 spec. In this case the monitor and video card.
The only video cards that I am aware of that sport the new HDMI 2.0 connector are the GTX...
You should test them both. But if Asus is to be believed then the the sound on that motherboard is "as great as a dedicated sound card".

No, DVI carries audio. There is no analog cables involved.
This adapter from Asus ($2.99) will carry sound.

Same exact adapter (part number 04G460002450) from Asus on this page. But at a ridiculous price! But read the description...
Cheapest possible is an DVI-D to HDMI dongle (or cable). You may even have one in your box of spare parts (from various video card purchases).
It may or may not work. It does for Gigabyte H81 boards.

It's worth a try.

If you are just using the PC for HTPC duties a $10 (after rebate) HD 5450 will do everything you need. It'll use less power and be fan-less for no noise. And since the HDMI is built into the card it can do HD audio, while your 4850 will not...
You need a compatible DVI to HDMI adapter for certain ATI/AMD cards. This converter has an EDID chip in it to tell the TV/receiver it's an HDMI port. Nvidia puts this chip on the video card before the DVI port.
This one should work.

But I know what the OP is thinking. He has USB3 connectors on the front of the case and they should work damn it! My motherboard doesn't have a fire wire connector. And I used to feel that...
Is the 1x PCI Express slot free on your motherboard? You need an add-on card if you want to get USB 3.

Intel specs say DDR3 1333.
That shouldn't mean that DDR3 1600 won't work. It'll just run at DDR3 1333 speed.

Note: Not that this is relevant to the OP, but it also looks like H81 only has 2 USB3 channels. So any H81 board that has a USB3 header would have to rely on a 3rd party USB3 controller. As surely the H81's two USB3 channels would be...
The peace of mind you get with the warranty on a pre-built PC is so much better then building one yourself. With the pre-built you get one year warranty on parts. Very straight forward. A year is a good long time on a warranty too so you know you are covered if something goes bad.

You can either bitstream the audio, which will have your AVR decode the audio track. Or you send the decoded audio via PCM (Pulse Code Modulation), which will have your HTPC decode the audio and send the decoded audio to the AVR.
Optical toslink only supports Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 or PCM...
Optical: No
Coax : Yes
The GA-B75M-D3H is missing the +5v pin that powers the light on the Optical Toslink connector. (Obviously you don't need the light if you are connecting this header to a (older) video card with spdif in.) It's possible you could power the optical connector on a...

I don't know what the specifications for your TV are, but it may not be capable of 1080p. Look for an option in your video driver to output 1080i and give that a try.
They haven't changed guided search on www.neweggbusiness.com/‎ (yet).
Seriously, you can't even narrow it down by memory capacity on their main site anymore. Apparently 14 days ago they removed the Advanced search option. And now they have ruined the guided search option.
I'd try this HD3650, the photos show that it comes with the cables. Too bad this card does not also have a native HDMI port for future use. But you should be able to use a DVI to HDMI adapter. You just wont get Dolby TrueHD 7.1 as I think the adapters will only pass Dolby Digital 5.1...
The 8400GS should be fine for video play back. Though it may depend on which version the OP owns as Nvidia produced three different 8400GS cards with totally different cores.

Your Toshiba 30hfx84 has a 1080i display. And doesn't look like it supports 1080p which may be the issue you are having. See if there is an option in your Nvidia driver for interlaced. Or try setting your HTPC resolution to 720p (aka 1280×720).
It sounds like you are making it to complicated. You want to send the TV video and audio from the HTPC. And then send the audio back to the HTPC to play on speakers connected to the HTPC.
Just connect the HTPC to the TV and send it video. And connect your speakers to the HTPC. You don't need...
