    Motherboard suddenly won't detect installed RAM

    Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V Pro I left my computer on sleep when I went out, I came back and it had shut down. When I tried turning it back on, I was greeted with the “Cannot detect any RAM installed” beep code (One long two short). Since the computer wouldn’t even boot, I had limited options. So...

    Fan Xpert 2 Interesting Possibilities

    I recentally got a P8Z77-Pro and was excited to start using Fan Xpert because I had a really loud 120mm fan that I pulled from another computer. The thing is, this fan was only 2-pins. Upon experimenting with Xpert a bit, I noticed some strange things. First of all, Xpert would recognize my...

    How's my cabling?

    Hey guys, this is my first time building a case from scratch, and I was wondering how my cables looked. Good, bad? Did I do anything stupid? Also, my 8-pin EATX, cable was a bit short, so it's in there really tight. Is this going to become a problem? Thanks.

    4x4 or 2x8

    I know this answer has been asked, before, but I'm just comparing 2 kinds. Running on an ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Price vs Speed vs Compatibility vs Real World difference. Kingston HyperX (4x4GB) ~ $60 DDR3 1600MHz 9-9-9-27 -or- Komputerbay (2x8GB) ~ $65 DDR3 1600MHz 10-10-10-27

    Sub-$50 Case Conundrum

    So, the cable management is very important :/ In that case, the ZALMAN ZM-Z9 U3 should be a good buy, because it's only $48 after rebate on Newegg.

    Sub-$50 Case Conundrum

    I've been looking at cases, and I've found 4 sub-$50 cases I like. One main feature that I'm looking for is the painted interior. Side window would be a plus, but it's not necessary, since I can make one myself. The challenge is now, which to pick? Which do you think is the best, based on...

    Nice sub $200 GPU - Help me finish my build!

    Hmm, maybe I was phrasing myself wrong. It is 4 am here. I should be asleep. I meant, what should, or could do without or less of until I get a few extra $$$ in my pocket? What parts should I buy first while saving my cash for the nicer equipment?

    Nice sub $200 GPU - Help me finish my build!

    Oh, derp. I meant to put RAM instead of the HDD. I'm going to reuse my old HDDs & DVD drives. I'm looking for 8+gb ram. I'll edit the first post.
