Ive bought mainly asus motherboards since 2000. I went with xfx and evga mother boards and the rma process for both companies is ridiculously easy and user friendly. Now fast forward to 2014... I had my first asus video card with directcu cooler on it and one of the fans went out. I rma'd the...
Evga, XFX, and corsair have amazing customer support and very easy RMA process... ASUS, I can tell you first hand, has horrible customer support and RMA support.
For your own best interest, don't buy asus, if anything goes wrong and you need customer support (especially RMA) you will regret...
So, i had success on the driver front figuring out exactly which drivers were needed without having to install the asus ai bloatware... that being said I'm just working on figureing out which is better the windows sata 3 controler or the intel one. once that is done ill post what i found and...
I have an asus maximus v gene mobo and a samsung 840 pro 256gb ssd. I was wondering if there is any difference between using the intel ahci driver which comes bundled with the rapid storage technology or use the windows ahci driver is the default. any idea which I should use and why?
update: im trying to confirm the drivers needed from asus phone support.... first and last time I call them, worse than dell phone support or on par... trying the online help now...fingers crossed.
this kind of crap isnt helpful...
thank u so much for the driver explanation...so your saying the intel chipset driver covers the chip, sata3, usb3 but I still need to install the asmedia sata3 and usb3 looking like this:
1. chipset driver
2. lan
3. Asmedia sata3 and usb3
4. audio
5...
thank u dan. yes the rog series uefi is not as obvious or user freindly to everyone, hence the help requested...I managed to find a few youtube videos walking through it and getting more info on each individual setting. Hopefully when I'm done I'll post a 4 dummies version of setting up this...
thank u for the response skripka, and yes the psu is overkill, its fully intended to be that way for multiple reasons one of which is it was its very quiet and small and two, the same price, on special for 249$ no tax/free shipping, as the ENERMAX Platimax EPM850EWT 850W. if youve ever had a...
This is my first micro atx build< Which i intend to run at stock speeds, and I need help with two things.
#1. what drivers should be installed for this mobo and in what order... btw pls explain it like I'm 5 years old :)
#2. this is the first mobo that I cant find an idiotproof bios...
Ive seen the prodigy case and to be honest I wasnt too impressed with the size and features of the case. Here is a micro atx case from lian li that is roughly the same size but much better imho. and a second link to an even smaller itx case.
Pc-354 (microatx)...
I would highly recommend enermax for a few important reasons:
1. The fans tend to go out before the actual psu do on most psu's, that being said Enermax uses a quiet long lasting fan to cool that uses magnets instead of traditional bearings. I used them in my last build and they are running...
BF3 reminds me of when Halo came out. Everyone who had a pc was like "what the hell is so special about another average FPS?" while on consoles people were losing their minds like it was ground breaking.
The expectations are different for a pc vs. a console. and you hit the nail on the...
Ok... what I'm about to say will not be popular but I feel it's an honest eval of BF3. It is a dumbed down version of BF2 with a graphics facelift.
The eye candy in this game is simply breath taking. However, the game itself is a console game ported to pc regardless what EA has told us that...
ok I felt this might help some make a decision about this dell monitor if they are on the fence... On january 25,2011 me and my fiancee decided to go with a dell monitor for her home office. We placed the order and chose 2nd day delivery... after a few days we check our order status and it...
G-700 mouse at 500 polling rate, there was no seen difference in performance at 500 vs. 1000. keyboard is logitech wireless illuminated keyboard k800 keyboard for the short keystrokes...makes me slightly quicker to react and a major advantage is endurance, my hands dont get as tired as quickly...
whatever...
at any rate, I just tested the newest nvidia driver and it installs properly with no issues and no need to modify the installation files, so problem solved for anyone else concerned.
Crybaby for expecting drivers to install properly for a video card I dropped a couple of hundred bucks on? your right I expect drivers to work, how follish of me...
wow, what was a litteraly a problem nvidia could have fixed with an intern and notepad in 5 minutes instead... nvidia decided to lose market share, I'm not upset because they just fucked themselves, if my drivers dont install right on my clean install I guess I'll default to ati/amd... which is...
soooo... is the overscan problem with the Lg246 series fixed in the latest nvidia driver release or do I still have to hack it to display properly on w7 64 bit?
K800 logitech Wireless illuminated keyboard, its back lit, elegant and has no keyblocking issues with games. You also have the option of using it wirelessly with no issues connectivity wise. The build quality is very, very good unlike gaming keyboards that tend to be rattletraps and have...
I also have the K800 and the G700 also. I generally only use my mouse at the desk but I tried it around 15 feet away and it worked fine, I have noticed that it actually works better with a 500 polling rate vs. 1000 fyi, im not sure why. I dont see a difference at 1000 over 500 at any rate and...
there is no question here, the G-700 is perfect. 2 things... give it a week to settle into because it is very comfortable for your hand and the buttons are actually usefull. I set the ones by my thumb to the front two forward and back two back... I just havent found uses for all of em yet...
Ok so after a few weeks of using the mouse I've found the replaceable batteries solution with the eneloop batteries and a charger actually better than a charging cradle since the mouse lasts two and a half days under heavy gaming, or all day gaming. I almost plugged in my G-7 and craigslisted...
actually, if the mouse had a cradle you could put it in the cradle when done at night and just pick it up in the morning... with the way this thing lasts on a single charge you would litterally have to game for over 2 or 3 days straight to drain the battery and it only takes a few hours to fully...
I personaly think this is a perfect mouse for one major glaring deficiency... where the hell is the charging cradle? If it had one I would never need to plug in that tacky cable it comes with. if I played a game all day when done I would simply put it on the charger and voila, the next day I...
Unfortunately you are correct in not buying one of their product on reputions but more lack thereof. Like I said in my earlier post their saving grace is their flawless warranty and the fact when they do get it right it's usually in spades... unfortunatly they really drop the ball occasionaly...
I have had the K800 logitech wirleless illuminated keyboard now for over 4 days and here are the main differences I've found from the wired other than the obvious that it is wireless (duh).
- The keyblocking issue with the " ' n t " combination is fixed, also fixed is the "w shift spacebar"...
I just picked up a G700 and like the way it performs. However, there is one area that is a little puzzling to me and that is the battery life. I ran my G700 for about 8 hours in 500 mhz polling and max gaming and I went from a full charge, which is 3 green lights, to 1 green light which is...
Ok, this info is helpfull but is very subjective, I get my G700 on the 23rd of this month according to UPS and my biggest concern is the Battery life. What I think would help alot more is more objective information such as the DPI, and polling rates for all three of these mice and lastly...
I would have to say Logitech is a love hate relationship when it comes to customer support. Their WIRED illuminated keyboard had many issues including keyblocking that they never really addressed, their 3d pro flighstick fails mechanically and starts to drift in less than a year (gone through 3...
Thank u sippm for confirmation that the keyblocking issue has been addressed in this keyboard. I asked customer support a few questions about the keyboard in regards to the key blocking and signal over wire as a back up to wireless.
Let's start with the good news. Logitech custommer support...
Hmmm... I'm puzzled that you have not heard of the key blocking issue with the Logitech illuminated keyboard that makes it terrible for game or fast typers. on the other hand for wireless mice they seem rather well made... Personally I've used the G-9 wireless for gaming and it's better than...
soooo... logitech is still putting out a piece of shit and advertising it as a "multimedia keyboard"... logitechs quality is in the crapper as of late... I think I'm done with their products all together...
I returned my keyboard already, logitechs only answer to any of my problems was to buy one of their piece of shit G series keyboards. If you haven't actually typed on one the wrist pad is a very cheap piece of thin hollow plastics that flexes under you wrist and scrapes due to a lack if rubber...
I wish that logitech didnt decide to cut corners to the point where the damn keyboard isnt even functional anymore... I find it ironic that it has a game mode in the setpoint... at any rate after I called them today they confirmed in fact that the matrix in the keyboard is lacking and does not...
