    will i7-3770T be retail or OEM?

    looks like availability is the problem. No one has it in stock.

    To all ASROCK Z77E-ITX owners: CPU fan speed question

    Thx Faethon. You answered my next question, which I was about to ask. So to sum up what you said: 48c is the target temperature level 5 is the minimum spin of the fan Once CPU temperature hits over 48c, the fan spins faster. Correct?

    To all ASROCK Z77E-ITX owners: CPU fan speed question

    Thx MissJ. Since yours did work, I decided to give mine another try. This time I used HWMonitor and saw that the fan speed was increasing. I am using a Noctua PWM fan and that thing is super quiet, which was why I couldn't tell if the fan speed was increasing. Thx!

    To all ASROCK Z77E-ITX owners: CPU fan speed question

    I just purchased the Asrock Z77E-ITX mini board. I am using a Noctua 92mm PWM CPU fan. It appears that the setting options in the BIOS does not allow my CPU fan to dynamically adjusts the fan speed to address the heat generated by the CPU stepping. When the CPU is idle or full load, the fan...

    go with Seasonic X750 or corsair AX850?

    I do understand both PS are made almost the same, but the key is the watt usage and the noise level. The Seasonic gets loud at 26dBa around 300-400W. So basically, the sweet spot is around 200-300W for the Seasonic. I want to know if others would go higher to the AX850.

    New 1156 mini itx boards?

    'WHS can mirror disks without RAID. In linux you can use dmraid or LVM. Also there is unraid. Many choices for the home user." I was focusing on Win7 solution since I want to run Media Center. What redundancy solution do you know of for Win7 without hardware raid? My ideal mobo would be...

    New 1156 mini itx boards?

    Any word if Intel is releasing a mini-itx with SATA3 and USB3? Onboard Raid would also be nice. I still can't figure out why some mobo makers (Zotac) will put 6 sata ports onto a mini-itx mobo without raid. There is only a few mini-itx chassis out there that would hold 5 or more 3.5" or...

    Western Digital Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER) with RAID and SE, SE16, GP Models

    So it appears that the 780i chipset doesn't have AHCI. *I think* I didn't disable anything in the BIOS and was able to modify idle time and TLER. I am one step closer to 11160GB using RAID6... cost $1120. not bad at all!

    Western Digital Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER) with RAID and SE, SE16, GP Models

    Ran into a problem. I am using an EVGA mboard, 132-ck-nf78-a1. I can't find the settings to disable AHCI. Researched a few websites and some users stated that the EVGA 780i series do not support AHCI. Not sure what to think now. How can newer mboards not support AHCI? ...even if this...
