    Any ideas?

    Comprehension much? The PROBLEM was solved -- the computer is fixed. I want to know why a bad processor worked in one system, but not in the other.

    Any ideas?

    This system worked rock solid for more than 2 years. I even tried the most current BIOS (I was 2 behind) and it was still broken. /shrug

    Any ideas?

    I have solved this already, but I wanted to know if any of you gurus know the "why?". I have a 5900X and Asus Crosshair VIII Hero WiFi motherboard (rest of specs in sig). I haven't been living at home much for the last few months, but every time I came home, my PC was locked up solid (no blue...

    Microcenter has 5900x

    I was able to get one. Got to mine in St Louis 2 hours after opening and they still had 7 left (out of 12). OP, thanks for posting this. I likely would have never looked until I saw this.

    X570 Motherboard and 2 Video Cards (non-SLi)

    I've been thinking of upgrading to a Ryzen 9 system. I currently run 2 video cards (RTX 3080 & GTX 1080) in my X99 + i7-6900K setup. I have 3 monitors, and an HTC Vive, and a 4K TV. The new 3080 is connected to the ultrawide central monitor and the Vive. The 1080 connects to the 2 outside...

    Are Asus x99 boards currently having a bad run?

    It's now been a little over 3 weeks and my system is again dead. Pretty much the same. Tried a different power supply -- no luck. I had a brand new Seasonic Prime that wasn't even in use on the old system, so I can't say a faulty P/S caused both dead systems. I have a different Asus X99 D2...

    Are Asus x99 boards currently having a bad run?

    They ask the question when you set up the RMA. Overclocking using the motherboard's easy overclock feature isn't overclocking in my opinion. Tweaking it to get every last ounce of speed is a different story. There's really no way Intel could tell if you were overclocking anyway.

    Are Asus x99 boards currently having a bad run?

    Asus replaced my MB and I got the same indications. Contacted Intel last night and they overnighted a new i7-6900K. I'm typing this on my now whole again system.

    Are Asus x99 boards currently having a bad run?

    My ASUS X99 Deluxe II is on its way to ASUS as I type this. Woke up Thursday morning and computer was powered off. Tried to restart and no luck...wouldn't post. Figured my Seasonic 1000W fried and would check it out when I got home from work. Swapped out the Seasonic for a smaller Corsair...

    Seasonic PRIME 850W Platinum Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Kyle, when testing these power supplies, do you hook them up straight to the outlet? Do you ever test them when connected to an UPS? I'm curious how some of these power supplies function with the simulated sine wave (vs. true sine wave) output from some UPS. I've heard some power supplies...

    Looking for X99 Mobo Suggestions

    I have the Asus X99 Deluxe II and a 6900K. Works great. I'd highly recommend replacing the 850 EVO with a 512GB 950 Pro...I know it's half the size, but it is almost 5x faster! Also using the Creative Sound Blaster Zx and it works flawlessly.

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Gameplay Performance Review @ [H]

    I read the review and, as usual, very well written and informative, but I have to question your "Highest Playable Settings" results. If I want to max out all settings, what resolution should I play at? I care more about having all the bells and whistles on and maybe play at 1080p vs. playing...

    Ratpadz - shipping is still FREE!

    My wife came to me and said she loved the mousepad on my PC -- my trusty Ratpadz XT that I bought in 2007. I have used this this for so many thousands of hours and it is still flawless. I told her she could have it once I got a new mousepad. I just ordered another Ratpadz XT!

    I've had my CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD operational for the last 7 years and this price prompted me to buy a new one. The old one will go up to "protect" my son's computer for the rest of its life.

    Which model of the GTX 980 Ti should I buy?

    It was available. I've had cards from Gigabyte, EVGA, and ASUS and they all been good to me. I've never had an MSI card, but some of my friends have and they've had good luck with them, so if it was first I would've probably gone to MSI.

    "Invalid product key entered" for Win7 key I've been using for years
