Which memory modules. 1007 is the same UEFI provided to HardOCP for testing the beta was only for SATA2 SSD testing. We have done extensive testing on the Z87 series and our boards have no issues hitting 2133, 2400, 26xx and greater speeds but there are considerations with Haswell relative to...

Overclocking wise the boards will essentially be the same. We have done 4.8GHz ( assuming your cpu and cooling allow for it ) without any issues. The Deluxe of course will have a cooler runnign VRM due to beefier heatsinks and more robust power components. In regards to the rest it comes down to...

I would recommend you clear the CMOS and once clear manual set the memory divider to something basic like 1333. From then reboot to your OS and then shutdown and then load back into the UEFI load defaultss and go from there. Additionally if you have consider updating your MEI to the 8.1...

Hello SpeedyVV, Thanks for your call out on our efforts at working with the community. It is appreciated! Hello Broons, I would consider our P8Z77-V as you noted it is really an awesome board if you have any questions about it feel free and let me know.

What issues have you seen with the P8C WS I have been using this board for our internal WHS and Windows Server Essentials without issues. The digital PWM design also has a high degree of flexibility at tuning the VRM for max efficiency. Additionally our board offers full power shedding...

Hello LeBronville, I would check out our P8H77-I board or if you can wait a little our upcoming E2KM1-I Deluxe. This is an integrated APU based solution but you have everything you want low thermal foot print low power consumption and solid graphics card for all decoding purposes. Really...

The ASUS board has a number of nice benefits 1. Superior fan controls where you can define manual and preset values for the headers on the boards 2. Superior USB controller with faster native performance and support UASP which is considerbly faster ( when using a UASP enabled storage device or...

Assuming you are running UEFI defaults make sure you have installed the Intel chipset drivers this are very important for ACPI functionality and a number of functions that help to ensure S state functionality ( such as sleep and hibernation )...

I would go with the P8Z77-M PRO ASUS boards are currently the only boards with full UEFI support that has .CAP implementationt his supports the most advanced low level functionality of UEFI native installations including Secure Boot, Fast Boot in addition to a number of other enhancements...

Computernerd1993 Tsumi got it right offset is the best way to overclock a CPU in regards to lifespan, efficiency as well as thermal load.It can be tricky to dial in as it requires a little more time compared to just setting a manual vid which is not efficient and feeds more voltage than the CPU...

El_Capitan Meaker got it right total design and component choice and implementation is in the end what matters. An example is our ROG boards are all only 8 Phase but use the best components and carefully tune to provide the best performance possible. In your situation it is not just the phase...

Hello All, Dan pretty much nailed it on the head. Any Fan Xpert II motherboards has full control options within the UEFI or OS for 3 pin and 4 pin fans. The only consideration point is that the CPU header is limited to control of 4 pin fans all chassis headers support both 3 pin and 4 pin. As...

Hello munkle, If you are generally using your mechanical drive only for playback or reference of documents you are correct caching or even and SSD would not be of an immediate value. If you are running applications though or games then you could of course see an improvement. At the end of the...

Hello ForcefulPWNZ , Why not consider a small SSD though to improve the read performance especially for games or applications you have on the mechanical HD. The cost is pretty low considering you can get a 60 or 64GB SSD for caching for around 60 to 75 dollars. If you are ok going smaller then...

Hello omniscence, Sounds like you are exactly using it as intended with a mix of SSD as Primary OS but for large game installations and applications use it to enhance your TB mechanical storage. As for the vote it would be that you use RST/SRT - SSD Caching. Thanks for your feedback.
