    Need help with office/admin PC build

    This is going into an upstairs bedroom where there is no physical line available. Therefore, wireless will have to do for now. This build will more than likely last longer than 6 years. MIcrocenter is close by so I will check them out for the combo deals. I'll table the Windows version...

    Need help with office/admin PC build

    Yes, I thought about Microcenter. Hate paying 6% sales tax though ;) I could get away using 8GB of RAM as long as it will be enough for Win7 64bit. That case doesn't matter too much to me as long as it's attractive. This is for the wife so styling is everything!

    User Account Control

    There's nothing Asus related in the start up. I don't knowingly use the Asus software and don't mind uninstalling it. Just not sure how, if at all will affect the performance of the mobo.

    User Account Control

    I keep having the User Account Control window pop up for each standard user every time they log on. You have to type in the admin password for it to go away. It's four in total that pop up and they are for the Asus motherboard (Turbo V help, Asus Mobilink, EPU help & AI Suite II). Any idea...

    Corsair RAM only running at 1333

    I've got 2x4gb of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) in a ASUS P8Z68-V PRO MB and noticed in the BIOS that the RAM is only running at 1333. In my none technical mind, shouldn't this be running at 1600? If so, how do I get it there? I've been in the BIOS and there is no clear way that I...

    Coolmaster HAF 922 front fan

    I have a new Coolmaster HAF 922 case and I noticed in the BIOS of my ASUS P8Z68 V-Pro motherboard that the front fan is only operating at around 433 rpm. The only reason that I noticed it is because that fan shows up red in the BIOS. All other fans are showing blue. I have it plugged into the...
