    Intel 520 SSD / Asus P5Q Deluxe - possible compatibility issue?

    Well, the connector worked fine with my other drive, & given that plus the issue also having reproed with another separate cable using the molex-SATA adaptor (as well as when switching between the two SATA connectors on that same double connector cable), is leading me to think it's a different...

    Intel 520 SSD / Asus P5Q Deluxe - possible compatibility issue?

    Yeah, it's enough to start making one paranoid. :) In this case, I wonder if that the other power cable (these are all coming out of the Hiper supply's medusa's head of cables) is coming from a different rail in the supply (?). But here's where my ignorance of power & electrical matters comes...

    Intel 520 SSD / Asus P5Q Deluxe - possible compatibility issue?

    Had already tried 1 & 3 - 6, but re 2 -- the initial power cable I was using was a single cable that had two SATA connectors which I used for my mechanical drive also. Earlier I'd once tried changing to a different power cable -- but one with a regular molex connector using the molex-SATA...

    Intel 520 SSD / Asus P5Q Deluxe - possible compatibility issue?

    Hey, is anyone out there using an Intel 520 SSD with an Asus P5Q Deluxe? Trying my second new drive (240gb), & still can't get it to get it to work successfully. At this point, really wishing I'd gone with a Samsung 830, as I've since noticed a couple P5Q folks are using one (or at least that...

    Fast WD Drives?

    Not to be nit-picky, but just to clarify a mistaken detail here for folks who are in the market for these -- the comparison linked above doesn't in fact include both the 1TB Caviar Black and the 750GB Caviar Black; the 750GB drive included in the comparison is the older WD7500AAKS, which I is...

    Need advice on mobo for QX6700

    Just curious, any particular reason (I expect there must be one :)) you recommend getting the Thermalright bolt-thru mounting kit to use with the S1283 -- is there some issue with the mounting solution provided with the S1283? I was planning to get the S1283 for my new build (incidentally, I too...

    z-5500 speaker wire -- replace them?

    I've bought audio/video cables in the past from Blue Jeans Cable (www.bluejeanscable.com). Better quality than monster, and often cheaper I believe. (Good service, too; they were nice in setting up an appt to pick up directly from them here in Seattle.) They sell speaker wire as well (they...

    Logitech Z-5500 static / hissing sound

    Thanks aZn. Anyone else with a Z-5500 have a moment to report if they get subwoofer buzz/hum (or speaker hiss), and how much? I called Logitech tech support and they will ship me a replacement control pod after I send them mine. Haven't sent it yet, as I am really starting to wonder (esp...

    Logitech Z-5500 static / hissing sound

    I have an old SoundBlaster Live! Value. (Still haven't decided if I'll get something intermediate to tide me over until I upgrade my pc in a few months.) But the sound card can't be the operative factor -- remember, the noise occurs even when there is nothing connected to the control center...

    Logitech Z-5500 static / hissing sound

    Got my new Z-5500s this weekend, have them all set up, and now I notice a distinct (if not overwhelming) static/windy sound coming from the satellites (and buzz coming from the sub). The noise in question goes away when mute is selected, and will rotate around based on the effect selected (that...

    Logitech Z-5500 - anyone get one from Buy.com? And Hot Deal

    Thanks aZn, that seems reasonable; went ahead and ordered. (Couldn't get the $15 off, but fudge it, got it anyway.)

    Logitech Z-5500 - anyone get one from Buy.com? And Hot Deal

    Hey guys, I missed out on that Dell deal for the Z-5500, but now it looks like buy.com has it for $229 shipped (can also get $15 off if you are a new customer: http://www.edealinfo.com/Coupons/buy.shtml -- my wife will soon be a new customer, I hope). My only concern is -- I know that the...

    Absolute Hands-Down Best DVD Burner?

    Just found the following thread; sounds like the software included with only the retail box is nonetheless available for download on the BenQ website: http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=20162 Guess I'm ordering soon... Thanks guys. --Adam

    Absolute Hands-Down Best DVD Burner?

    Hey, I'm about ready to jump on the BenQ 1640 bandwagon. My only question about the one offered on NCIX is that it is the OEM product and not the retail -- if I order one now rather than wait a couple of weeks for the retail version, am I giving up much in the way of software, etc.? Anyone know...

    official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI thread

    Hey all. I am interested in this board for my new PC build, have been reading with interest (and disappointment re the -5 volt requirement for sound -- my planned PSU doesn't have it, and the sound was a big selling point for me on this board. Hope there is a workaround, or a new rev of the...
