    Asus ROG Maximus XI Code - can't get to the middle mounting screw

    Anyone know how to access the screw hole in the middle of the motherboard? It's probably under the "Republic of Gamers" portion of the armor. The manual shows the board without the armor, but no way to get the screw in. I tried posting at the Asus forums, but it just says to contact "Silent...

    nvidia or EVGA for best overclock chances?

    I'm upgrading to a 2080 ti RTX graphics card. I'm trying to choose between an nvidia founders edition or an EVGA XC Ultra Gaming. Any ideas which would have the better chances for higher overclocking? I will be water cooling the board via an EK water block and custom loop, so EVGA's warranty...

    Can you use cables to extend wifi antenna?

    Thanks for the input. I should have elaborated on the details: My cable, cable modem, and gigabit switch are in a low voltage electrical box (designed for cable, phone, and network connections). I wired the house for gigabit ethernet and all the connections come back to that box. It does get...

    Can you use cables to extend wifi antenna?

    I'm trying to get better wifi coverage in my home, and was considering placing the wifi antenna in the attic. This would ensure that only one "wall" (the ceiling) was in the way, which is an improvement over the 2-3 walls I have now. Is it possible to buy/make cables to mount the antenna 6-8...

    Home server hardware - need input please

    I have WHS 2011 running on an Asus P5B based motherboard with 4GB DDR2 and an Intel Core 2 E6700 CPU. There are three WD Red drives for storage. I was considering upgrading the hardware, and possibly the software to Windows Server 2012 Essentials. My wife's laptop died and the new one has...

    Windows 8 to use hardware-assisted sound?

    Thanks a ton! That absolutely explains the whole thing and it makes perfect sense. I wondered why they would go back and expose the hardware. I'll be interested to see if Windows 8 makes any compromises for PCs by trying to incorporate so many other hardware platforms. It's hard to be...

    Windows 8 to use hardware-assisted sound?

    Sound Blaster recently announced some new sound cards. In the process of reading about them, I saw a few posts that Windows 8 will be returning to allowing the use of hardware-assisted audio (please forgive my lack of technical terms here). What I remember (as a user) was that sound was...

    Bad sectors in SSD after fresh install

    The drive is over a year old. I switched the cable out and I'm waiting to see if I develop any other problems. When i run chkdsk, there are no NEW errors, but it reports "116k in bad sectors". Is there any way to fix that? I wanted to do the "factory reset" thing, but there is...

    Bad sectors in SSD after fresh install

    Nothing is overclocked on the system and it never has been. I previously had the drive connected to a board made before Intel made SATA III controllers, so it ran for a year on a 3rd party controller. I did not wipe any data before I installed fresh when I connected it to my new motherboard...

    Bad sectors in SSD after fresh install

    Its a new Asus P8Z77V-Deluxe, and I'm using their white & black SATA cables (as directed) on the Intel SATA III controller. I've had a bad cable problem too... didn't think of that. I'll try switching it out.

    Bad sectors in SSD after fresh install

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 (no other OS's) on my Crucial C300 256GB SSD. Its the only SSD/HDD storage in the system. After getting intermittent pauses, I ran a chkdsk and found 116KB in bad sectors. If this was a HDD, I'd replace it, since that's usually a precursor to the drive failing. I...

    Need help picking SSD - only storage on system

    Yes, but I was trying to dodge Raid to avoid TRIM / garbage collection problems. Then again, i don't know if "real world" will need/use/cause those problems... :( But yes, 512 should be plenty. I just don't know WHICH drive type (Marvel, Samsung, Sandforce) to purchase. :(

    Using a NAS for HT audio/video media.. Anyone here do this?

    I could use some input guys. I would LOVE to have a quiet HTPC with a Ceton tuner card to replace my two TiVos. If there's some way to make THAT box ALSO a media server AND store backups for other computers, I'd be set. What I want is WHS with WMC so it can be my home server & media center...

    Low 4k read/write speeds w/SATA III - please help

    SSD speed up game installs?

    Just curious - will an SSD speed up installing games or other programs being installed from a DVD drive? Or is reading from a DVD still the bottleneck? Thanks!

    Benchmarking - Anandtech, please include this concept

    I know its not realistic to make benchmarks that encompass everyone's reality. However, it would be nice if they included both sides of the fence. Say for example, the best case scenario (eg, right after a reboot), and a worst case scenario (where the data is already cached).

    Benchmarking - Anandtech, please include this concept

    I sometimes feel there is a bit of a "real world" factor that gets missed when benchmarks are reported. I understand the need to eliminate all other sources of interference to get true results. However, I do not use my video card, CPU, or SSD in a lab. What I want to see included are results...

    I waited, but I'm not waiting forever. Enough BS from nvidia. First it was last year, then it was first quarter this year. Now it's, "well, we will launch in first quarter, but you wont really be able to buy one until second quarter." This is just precursor BS for "uh, we're another quarter...

    HTPC - what do I need for playing FLAC audio and replacing my TiVo

    What I'd like to accomplish is to use my WHS box AS my Windows Media Center. Just plug the WHS into the home theater and use it directly. Otherwise, i'm building a whole computer to use JUST as a media extender. Let me back up - skipping the video - all i want to do is listen to FLAC audio...

    HTPC - what do I need for playing FLAC audio and replacing my TiVo

    Doh! Correct. I WANT lossless sound encoding :) That sounds great for getting me started. I'm more concerned about the audio than the video. As for the Tivo, it runs on cable cards, which seems to be the way of it (Cox communications). It takes two cable cards OR one dual tuner cable card...

    HTPC - what do I need for playing FLAC audio and replacing my TiVo

    add-on sound card vs. external DAC

    I guess if the creative drivers worked (or there was any hope of an update), I'd be satisfied. At the same time, I'd be all for improved sound and removing one more piece of hardware I don't need. I guess I'm really not sure what EAX does anymore via Vista, if anything. For that matter, are...

    color correction - how do for 3d games?

    GTX280 Vs HD4870 - Help me decide!

    If you already have a 9800GTX, I'd wait a while and see what comes to pass. You're going to lose a lot on your 9800GTX if you sell it right now. If you have the upgrade bug or simply just want the best in your system, I'd still go with the Radeon 4870. More bang for the buck, and you can always...

    X48 vs P45 vs P35 chipset for Crossfire

    I've given the single GPU solution some thought just for that reason. But at the same time, I want to have the expansion/room to grow this time, just in case. I kinda hate to replace my relatively new P35, esp with Nehalem coming. But I can't get any info about the Nehalem chipsets. So I'm...

    X48 vs P45 vs P35 chipset for Crossfire

    Just to clarify my proposed setup, I currently have a P35 board and am interested in Crossfire for the 4870. My monitor is 1680x1050, but I love to play games with all the eye-candy cranked up to max (AA, AF, etc.). Regardless, it seems that at least an upgrade to the P45 may be in order for...

    X48 vs P45 vs P35 chipset for Crossfire

    Thanks for the info and the link JPB! This actually brings up another question: does anyone have any information about PCIe buses on the Intel chipsets that will accompany Nehalem? Rhaze, I don't know if a single card is saturating the bus. I figured PCIe 2.0 was more futureproofing, but I...

    X48 vs P45 vs P35 chipset for Crossfire

    Does the bandwidth on your PCIe x16 slots matter for Crossfire on the new AMD 4850 or 4870 cards? I'm currently running a P35 chipset motherboard (two x16 slots, but one only runs at x4 speed). Just wondering if I would benefit from a 2x8 board (P45 chipset) or a 2x16 board (X48 chipset)...
