Looks like there is a fan power hub over rear fans (should have the rear and probably top fans (small 3 or 4 pin flat connector plugged into it. Look for a Molex connector inside the case near rear fans that will connect ro Molex from PS. Check section 2.3 (Kuhler liquid cooling) for better...
Exactly like this except mine does not have the window side panel. (Solid panel with 82 or 90MM TT stock fan).
Huge heavy almost indestructable case.
New NZXT coming this week.
Is PCI E enabled in boards BIOS? Latest Bios edition for the motherboard?
Is monitor display port plugged into 1st video card or are you still using MB connection?
Another nod for 750Ti.
Another consideration is your actual house wiring. Is your house/apt/room current modern construction or is it 20/30 years old or older? Could make a difference in what is available at the wall and quality of that power as well. Also how much draw is being used on the...
My original build had 1 4GB Adata 1600 to hold me until my Crucial 4x4 arrived. On initial build selected XMP profile in UEFI bios.
When my Crucial arrived reset UEFI bios to default and shutdown. Inserted one stick Crucial into slot A2 and booted back into UEFI/Advanced mode and selected XMP...
XMP enabled, memory remapping enabled?
Looks like timings are close but one kit is 667/other kit is 800. You will probably have to run them at 667 and then work them up until you can find a happy spot.
Actually with XMP looks like they all should run 800.
Most of the time CPU deals are in store only. Would love to have some items shipped. Would beat spending a morning driving/shopping/driving home.
Although my last MC safari did save me over $100.00 vs buying online/new/used.
Also keep in mind MC will also price match if you do find a...
Got the bluetooth playing nice with my phone. Must have missed a file when I downloaded from ASUS.
Do the WiFi driver first and install and then the Bluetooth right under it.
Going to let Memtest run this afternoon on it.
Thing I like is it is running 4 up completely stock. No adjustment(s) needed.
Once it is back in the case I might play with it and see what it will do. Reading around the webs seems it will run nicely 2133.
A little Intel 530 240GB love.
The Crucial M4 was priced to move on Crucial.com.

If anywhere near Microcenter it might be worth a trip.
Just went stright to bios, set default, shutdown/powered down and discharged.
Popped in 1 stick to A2 and restarted. Bios recognized it no problem, repeat for B2 no problem.
Did have to "loosen Assasin cooler for A1 and B1. Reset cooler and powered up and back into Bios.
All recognized...
Actually I am also fumbling with the Bluetooth also. Mb sees my Moto Droid Bionic, Moto Droid Bionic sees the Z87 but can't seem to pair. Bionic does issue numeric pass key to check with Z87 but can't find anywhere yet to enter to pair them.
Mine should be here Thursday.
Meanwhile early adapters please post up some tips and pointers.Anything you may have run into and how you took care of it please.
FWIW Intel 540 240 GB don't have any problem, also Seagate600 240 GB Looks like all the well established name brands are clearing stock on most SSD's.
Also running a Mushkin Chronos Delux 256GB on a P5B Delux with no problem over 2 years now.
I hemmed and hawed about 4770K or 4670K. Could not justify extra $$ for 4770K.
Just built this up last week and pretty happy with it. Grab a SSD for your boot drive!
April sale at Microcent is sweet if you are close.
Good luck!
Deep Cool Assasin ia another monster dual tower cooler. With good mounting hardware should not be a problem for stationary rigs. I too would be leery traving to LAN Parties though.
Thanks Rajas.
Yeah I guess 8.1 will grow on me. Learning curves/adjustment form XP/Vista/& Ultimate and then head banging now on 8.1, although head is not hurting so much after a week woth of fumbling around.
Got 4.4 after only a few hours running, now after maybe 30 hours 4.6 with Asus AI...
1802 on Z87 Expert seems to be running happy.
Quick question on SATA, brown ports per manual are HDD only. Should they be used normally with SSD/ & storage HDD or should I stick to the yellow ports?
One mistake I think I may have made is loading 8.1. Maybe just have to get used to it and...
