    Build Question - Need an Opinion

    kirbyrj Thanks didn't realize the H60 would be reusable. My concern is the life of these things. I've had this H60 since 2013 w/ daily use! Are most of the newer coolers all compatible w/ LGA 1151? They all say 1150 but I'm guessing they have adapters. @BlueLineSwinger I have a GTX 1070 that's...

    Build Question - Need an Opinion

    Upgrading to a 7700K replacing my 4670K. Probably a mild O/C. My motherboard choice is : MSI Z270-A PRO (114.99 USD) Can anyone critique this setup? I'll also need a cooler, thinking a generic water cooler nothing custom. Not planning to do a crazy OC (yet). I have a H60 on my 4670k and it...

    Hardware Improvement : Best bang for buck?

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes I have a SSD (Samsung 840 EVO). I did some research on the RAM speeds and the FPS increase is negligible (DDR3 1600 versus 2400). @evilsofa I've played around with the page file. For some reason setting a fixed amount seems to crash my system. Letting...

    Asus Z87-A disaster

    Conclusion : Managed to get both drives to boot (for once) Copying all my files off my old drive. Ditching it. Buying one off the "approved" list. Praying it finds it 100% in the BIOS. Thanks for all the help guys! :)

    Asus Z87-A disaster

    The simple troubleshooting solution for this is to buy a hardrive off this list : http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?image=MTM3MDI2NDE0NmJybHdmclZvV2lfN180X2wucG5n If I still get issues we can be sure it's a MOBO defect.

    Asus Z87-A disaster

    @Jkramp : The FM-25S2S-120GBSR is working right now about 60% of the time. I don't understand how that could be the case - Either its compatible and finds the drive, or it's not. Unless the world is against me!

    Asus Z87-A disaster

    First drive is : G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series FM-25S2S-120GBSR Second drive is an older 160GB SATA 5400rpm (I'd have to lookup the brand name) So to answer your question, I'd say they are older and most likely out of spec. I'd love to see the list of SSD's that work effectively so I can...

    Asus Z87-A disaster

    I could try that. The thing is I haven't messed with any BIOS options at all. Tried the port thing too. 1-2 seem to have better results than 3-4. How can something work 40% of the time? lol

    Asus Z87-A disaster

    Recently picked up a Asus z87A with the Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz. (Running 8 Gig's of Gskill ram) My nightmare starts at the BIOS screen: only detects one SSD (out of two). It randomly decides not to find either of the SSD's periodically. These drives are 100% fine and worked...
