Okay. I found a tool in the video card software that allows you to resize Windows. It even fixed my native icon problem automatically. Sorry for asking before playing with settings. Please close this post. Thank you!

W7 Ultimate

Greetings On my right, is an LG 40" 1080. And in the center is my primary Dell 30" 2560x1600 monitor. My main issues: 1) The boarders on the LG 40in. screen, that's 1080, runs off the edges in full window mode. It is set to 1920x1080. Why? 2) On my primary Dell 2560x1600, I cant move...

Duh, yeah, I recall that option now. Thanks pal. -keith

Damn, I feel a bit violated. I should have done my homework on the Haswell. Only option for an 1150 though. Thanks for posting! -keith

When I use to run AMD it was always advised to uninstall old drivers when acquiring new ones. Okay then, I wont worry about cleaning old drivers then. Thanks! -keith

Anyone use this for their updates or should I do them manually? I have Asus Strix. I usually like to wait and see how new drivers do before I install them. Does this auto install service delete old drivers or do I need to wipe them manually? Thanks. -keith

Hell my 775 q9650 oc'ed better. Average that is.

Even the so called cherry chips? Never know until one at least tries. But realistically, 4.6 is a good long haul setting. I doubt there is any major speed improvement from 0.2GHz. Thanks. -keith

Not quite sure where you are going with your comment but I did just realize I'm running a 32 bit version 0f P95 v285. Would like to push to 4800 but dont see a real practical reason to over the long haul. I would like to try some real world test benching. LOL...I haven't put this Strix 980 to...

Just finish this build and want to know where I stand. Details in my sig. I'm kinda let down by the high temps with a quad Fessor rad with 4 cougar fans. Room temp is 21c. I should try lower volts? Mind you though this is only a 20 minute Prime95. 1.250v

After installing NVidia software/drivers and E11, things started getting buggy. Like another program opening when clicking another one. Keyboard doing wrong commands and such. Weird stuff. Thanks.

Greetings. Is there any guidelines to software installation? Mainly optimum loading order? I have new Maximus VII Hero. Does a person need to install the disk software in the order on the disk? Windows wont obviously let me install completely because there are no net drivers. So I just...

My ATI flavors have always installed an icon in the start menu. Thanks buckaroo.

LOL...why didn't it create an icon somewhere? Weird I say. THANKS! -keith

Okay, I'm at a loss. Where are the actual GPU settings menu? Where a fellow actually changes the resolution and graphics. Thanks.

Asus cards doesn't need their down drivers...hmm. So their OC'ing is a 'build in the software' if you will? Intrigued that other manufactures software and drivers all work for the same main manufacture i.e. NVidia.

Now I find this out. Geez. I probably should get a driver cleaner and to it correctly. Okay, thanks guys. BTW...why does Asus even offer a driver then? Go figure.

Just bought the Strix GTX 980 and went straight to the Asus web sight and downloaded the latest driver and skipped the disk driver. Is there something else on the disk in the driver section I'm missing, because when I click onto GeForce Experience I get a fail to open warning? Cant find the...

Greetings. Just did a new install of W7U on a brand new Maximus VII Hero. I get this (ATKEX_cmd.exe) has stopped working prompt upon start up. Exactly 4 of them. It seems to be something to do with the chipsets sound device. In recollection, I did install some of the software out of...

Okay, apparently the cpu multiplier is the only setting that wont show in the bios anywhere. An OS must be installed to see this number. When I get home later I'll go ahead and install everything and consider it a go. Thanks.

Greetings. Yes, I know to leave the BCLK alone and to only OC with the cpu multiplier. But thanks. Stress test you say? As of now I'm just benching and I have no OS or Hd'S installed. Not sure why that would make a difference because I can run lower multiplier #'s, and even change the cpu...

Thanks for reply. Yes, I pull half the ram and still no go.

Updated to latest bios. Still no go.

Greetings. I have a question about the Hero OC. I just purchased the new Hero, the 4970K, 32gigs of GSkill ram, and the Samsung 850 Pro SSD. I'm of a coarse doing a bench test before I install into my case. So far things look good. All 32 gigs are posting. I don't have the SSD...

Thanks. Will look at this.

Even for creating large RamDisk segments?

Greetings. Doing a new build. Will be getting the max ammount of memory this board claims to support...32 gigs of ram. Most likely going with HyperX 1600MHz. Unless you disagree. AND using a wet 4790K. So...Will this chipset support this ammount of ram at that frequency? Please tell me...

Nothing jolted. All I did was flash. Everything was great uptill the flash. Oh well, time to ditch this old hardware and update. I am looking forward to a new build anyway. This would be a different story if this was a newer build. I need/want something with more ram and an SSD anyway...

Yeap, cleared CMOS already and later I pulled the GPU to try onboard video. Nothing. Got me thinking. Why would a person need to update a bios on such an old system if everything works fine. Like I said, lessoned well learned. Aint broke don't fix it.

Yes, well, my water pump. Mobo lights as well.

Thanks for the quick reply and the link. In my siuation my video card is a single x2, not two seperate cards. Even trying to use the on board video it wont work. I'm telling you something went terribly wrong. Before my system crashed, from what I could make out from the monitor looked like...

Greetings. Should have left well enough alone. Tried flashing my 4870x2 bios and now I have a complete shutdown on my system. The ATI flash tool I use wouldn't take the latest version. I went down the list thinking maybe you have to flash in a progressive manner. I did get it to flash...

Fair enough.

Thanks Tsumi. Good info. Here are my stable choices. 3600MHz core speed with 1600MHz memory 2:1 ratio or 4000MHz core speed with 890MHz memory 1:1 ratio Best I can do. Unless I could push my vCore higher. Temps are 34c idle @ v1.320. I would hope this 4x120 rad...

Speaking of which. Where do you feel the bottleneck is with modern desktop systems now days? Obviously when I built my set up it was the FSB. Maybe the time is closer than I imagined on a new build. Suppose my chipset and cpu is that out dated. I play FNV moderately modded. I would...

Curious about your mobile comment. I am talking desktop set-up. I'm sure you mean something I'm not aware of.

I've been running this build since the gen 1 REX came out, with 2x2gig sticks of HperX. My profile is utd. At that time 4gig sticks weren't available, so I used 2x2gigs @1600MHz. Now that RAM is much cheaper and software writers are getting sloppy, 8 gigs would work much smoother I'm sure...

My current build is about 5 years old now and at the time it was the best of the best, and now I'm ready to build again. I've been tossing around the idea of building again with the focus on a OCZ RevoDrive PCI-Express SSD. I want to boot from it and run my OS. I game a little, run Photoshop...
