    How fast should a SSD drive boot up to Windows?

    Thanks all! The SSD is connected to SATA # 1. I only have another 2TB HDD for storage, and that is connected to SATA #2. My case Sata, and my ASUS Optical drive is in the other SATA #3,#4, and #5 slower ports. My Case is a CoolerMaster 690II mATX tower. My MB is a MSI B85-G41 PC mate, and I...

    IDE to SATA Optical not working

    Thanks guys! Vantec told me to switch the jumper back to Single/Master, and oddly enough to NOT to plug in that Molex. I did not initially plug in that Molex, because directions only showed the vonnections as being the Sata, and the floppy smaller 4 pin connector, and I was not sure if I did...

    IDE to SATA Optical not working

    I just finished rebuilding my computer and wanted to keep using my older IDE PIONEER DVR-710 CD/DVD burner along with a new ASUS 24X Burner, which is SATA. My new MB is a MSI B85-G41 PC Mate, and does not have the IDE header on the board, only Sata. So I moseyed on down to Fry's and bought a...

    How many have used same old PSU for rebuilding?

    I know I created this thread about power supplies, but I thought the PSU was having problems, but I went to Fry's to buy another 'test' unit to see if it was the Seasonic. So after I installed all new components (in same 7 yr. old CM 690 ATX) I switched power on, AND.... No power, so I hooked...

    Nu build, fan spins for a sec, shuts off!

    Hi, Happy Weekend, and thanks for the replies! First thing I did when I started to realize this board had issues was to clear the CMOS factory test settings, and start fresh. Do any of you think the MSI Z87 chipset is better stability wise, than the MSI B85-G41 board? I returned my board for...

    Is the MSI B85-G41 a good choice for non-gamer, non-Overclocker?

    I just bought a MSI B85-G41, but I don't GAME, or OVERCLOCK . I primarily use Photoshop CS5 Extended, and video editing with Pinnacle Studio 15 HD Ult. (I'm hoping this B85 chipset will be fine) I don't know what benefits if any, I would get with the Z87 Chipset. (This new build consists...

    Nu build, fan spins for a sec, shuts off!

    No power, so I hooked new Seasonic PSU to my old MSI P-35, and board light went on, so it's not the power unit..good! Knowing I have power, and checking the other side panel and saw 6 stand screws, so I know that can't be shorting out the Mobo. Thinking now it's not the ground or...

    GPU or IGPU on a new Rig, Do they use both at the same time?

    Bad PSU ( Seasonic 550W) or Grounding out on Mobo . No power....Ummmmmm, On my Old MSI P-35 Platinum, it had 8 or. 9 Mobo stand screws. (Correct name escapes me) This new B85 has only 6, are these universal in size, I did not see any of these with the new Mobo, are they usually included...

    LOk, after all that, I finished installing all parts, I had a problem Eleuthera the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 tower, 1150 socket was a small after thought on the box, but the original print had all sockets listed except for the 1150. I still had a problem with the small pin on the bottom of the...

    GPU or IGPU on a new Rig, Do they use both at the same time?

    Thanks to all the replies to me on my apprehension to go ahead and use the 550w. I really hated to keep on this subject for so long now, but after reading that some would not use it, and opt for a higher wattage PSU, like a 650-700W, I wanted to make sure I didn't blow any of my new components...

    How many have used same old PSU for rebuilding?

    Faugusztin, So you have a 460W Seasonic, and that's enough to power your rig? I don't game or overclock, have this: i7 4770, MSI B 85-G41 PC Mate, 16GB DDR3 1600 ( maybe add another 16 GB for total 32GB Mem., GTX 750 1GB GDDR5. Will my 550W S12Gold 80 plus be enough to power without bottlenecking?

    How many have used same old PSU for rebuilding?

    So you also use the 550W, what are your PC components? The specs on the GTX750 (1GB) box requires a 400W PSU, so with my 16, maybe 32GB, DDR3 1600, i7 4770 3.4 CPU, Samsung 250GB SSD, two HDD, CM EVO 212 CPU cooler, four case fans, would it still be enough "wiggle" room? I only bought an...
