While swapping CPU's on a motherboard I forced it in and bent a few pins. R.I.P. $190 Motherboard....

I believe the new version of those k66 cans is the k99 but you can go here for more info on headphones: http://www.head-fi.org/products/category/over-ear As far as sound cards go I LOVE my Soundblaster Z: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaster-Beamforming-Microphone-SB1500/dp/B009ISU33E I...

No changes at all except adding a 6870 that may be slightly fried. but it was being weird before i added the card in. I think the onboard sound card may be fried but i don't know how to confirm that.

My computer has stopped producing any sound at all even though it detects that there are headphones or speakers plugged in. I have an asus P8Z77-M Pro motherboard and I have tried reinstalling the drivers several times and also uninstalling them and letting windows find the drivers with the same...

Thanks for the confirmation. It helps to hear it from a trusted source before I burn my computer up.

My current rig is an i5 3570k, a GTX 670, two SSD's, three HDD's and 4GBx2 sticks of RAM. It is currently powered by a XFX P1-650X-CAG9 650W PSU (the XXX edition). http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/899 I am looking to get another GTX 670. This review makes me think I should be OK running a...

Thanks cisco guy. I got it working perfectly now. :D

Hey there, I have a P8Z77-V and a 3570k and I have been trying to get the integrated graphics to work in addition to my 670 so I can power more displays. I have been to Intel's website to get drivers but I get an error message when I try to install them telling me I lack the correct hardware...

Just bought a 256GB 830 today, could not pass up the $170 price tag. I hope Samsung begins offering a mSATA version for my ultrabook so I can get more than 128GB of storage.

I am looking for an Ultrabook, I do not like tablets much and a regular notebook is too much to haul around as I commute to school by bike each day. Slimmer notebooks are more comfortable for typing on the tiny lecture hall desks too. The reviews I read of the ASUS said that the 4GB of RAM was...

I have been researching Ultrabooks for awhile and I like both of these notebooks but need a bit more help deciding. I am willing to spend up to $1300. I keep laptops 3-5 years then sell them so reliability is important to me. This computer will be used to take notes in class, watch TV (plugged...

The problem is I am not at home right now. I am at my parents until tomorrow and most of my spare parts and tools and thermal paste as well as my workspace are at my place. I will do extensive testing when I get there but I have been wanting to get my hands on a Z77 and k series processor and my...

Tried the CMOS, set it up on the table with the bare minimum of components, have done it all except reseating the cpu. I doubt it is that because my h60 is literally bolted on to the mobo with the cpu sandwiched between. It has not loosened at all.

I also set up the entire pc on my worktable and it reacts exactly the same as when it is in the case. I am going to just get an ivy bridge setup to replace it since I can use the new features.

So I did the paperclip trick and my PSU fan comes on. I assume that means it is not the PSU.
