Thanks I will try that. At present I only have a tiny bit of the AI suite.

Hi I finally purchased the Asus P8 Deluxe & I'm having an issue with the AI Suite it doesn't seem to load properly. My operating system windows 7 64 bit Motherboard Asus P8 Z77 Deluxe Processor Intel Core i5 3570K My Issue when I load the Ai Suite I don't have any of the tools only the...

Ok small SSD's really cheap now so I will have to look at that as well . This information will make me look at my motherboard choice again. I had decided on the ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE, but I will have another look at the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H as it has the slot for a cache drive right on the...

Ok small SSD's really cheap now so I will have to look at that as well . As to the other suggestion when I was last playing my Oblivion/Nehrim folder alone was about 500GB! I still need big drives. I have 4 750GB Samsung's in my current computer

None now, I have made a change to the motherboard probably going for the ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE now. I took a while to find out about silver arrow compatibility but in the end think it will fit almost any of them just without the first PCIe X1 slot. The MSI is a bit cramped around the socket...

I would love to see the UP 4 or 5 without the Thunderbolt ports. I don't think I will be using thunderbolt in this generation but this looks like a worthy update from the UD 5 & I'm sure quite a few people buying the UP5 won't be using Thunderbolt & it is such a large part of the cost of these...

Well I still haven't pulled the pin but have made a small purchase that has me doing a lot of rethinking. I brought a Teralink X2 with the power supply & the USB isolator & I'm startled by the difference in sound quality in my system. My speaker system is an old Boston Acoustics BA 7500 G...

Hi Something I'm rather puzzled by, is there any advantage in using the onboard Sata caching if you are using an SSD as your primary drive? . In my case I am researching a new build & will be using a Samsung 830 Series 256GB as my primary drive & a2 TB Seagate Barracuda for storage & some...

I'm still looking for info on which Z77 boards are compatible with the Silver Arrow. It will need 80 MM clearance to the first PCIe X16 slot I know I won't be able to use the first PCIe X1 slot Thanks in advance for any help Beebee

Hi Raja will I be able to use the first PCIe X 1 slot on the Sabertooth with a Thermalright silver arrow? & are there any clearance issues with the Thermal armour ? I'm getting all sorts of conflicting rumours & thought this was the best place to ask Regards Beebee

I'll probably take your advice on the PSU

Hi all, I have been a lurker on here for some years but this is only my second or third post. I started a thread for this build over a year ago, life got in the way but I'm back with the intention to get something built this time. I am about to build a new computer probably my...

Another possibility Auzintech X-FI Forte Has all of the X-FI goodness but less hassles. There hasn't been much progress in computer sound in the last decade. I'm still using a Boston Acoustics BA7500 5.1 set that Iv'e had for about 8 years. There not fabulous but there doesn't seem to...

\ Great little slogan you ought to sell it to them :) It even rhymes;)
