I have a Mionix Naos 7000 optical mouse. It was highly accurate, but had a scroll wheel issue, so I RMA'd it to Mionix. While it was out for repair, I reinstalled windows. I have reinstalled the MarkC mouse fix, set "enhance pointer precision" off, have the Windows mouse sensitivity set to 6...

Thanks for the help guys. I just ended up getting a PCI to SATA card and sticking with the P8P67 Pro. An inelegant but simpler solution for the interim.

A blast from the past, I know. I've got an Asus P8P67 Pro right now, which suffers from the Marvell SATA degradation problem. Thus only two SATA ports work, which sucks. My CPU (2600k) is plenty fast, and for now I'd rather just replace the mobo rather than the entire system. Among the used...

Great answers, thanks guys. Confirms what I've read. The only thing that gave me pause was the logging feature. It was just a standard AT&T Pace modem, so I'm not even sure it would have been on. In any case based on my limited understanding it seems like that just logs attempts to access the...

I sold an AT&T router/modem on ebay and forgot to reset the router before doing so. Stupid move, but I assumed that routers don't really store any data worth worrying about. From everything I can find, the buyer would have access to the name of my network, the names of devices that connected...

CPU-Z says Revision D2. I ran the Asus Verifier tool and it does in fact say that my dark blue and grey SATA ports are OK. Not sure why I was under the impression that only the grey ports worked. In any case 4 is enough for me, and I'm pretty dang happy!

Strange update: I realized that there are 8 SATA ports, not 6 as I thought earlier. Couldn't see the last two because the GPU covered them. I tried plugging the SATA devices into the dark blue ports (instead of the light blue ones) and lo and behold it worked! Now I'm totally perplexed as to...

I've got an Asus P8P67 Pro board and I'm trying to make use of the blue marvell 3gb SATA ports. As far as I can recall, these ports never worked, which makes me think it might be a driver issue rather than the sandy bridge defect. Is there any way to either resolve this issue or figure out...

Right, so that's the method I attempted, but because my 5031NV is different from the 2Wire they use in that thread, I wasn't able to implement all of the steps. For instance I wasn't able to set my 5031NV to get its IP from DHCP. It just apparently isn't an option on my router. Does my method...

I'd prefer to use the full functionality of the AC66U rather than just using it as a WAP. The 5031NV is real hunk of junk so I'd like to bypass it to whatever extent possible. Thank you for your help!

Oh that's an interesting method. How do I ensure that my Asus's IP addy is outside the DCHP range of the 5031? By default the Asus seem set to 192.168.2.1. Is that sufficient?

I have an AT&T Uverse and I have had one heck of a time setting up my new Asus AC66U router. I followed the video below, and I've transcribed the steps I took. Then I list off some of the strange errors I've encountered. Any advice appreciated. These steps may be of use to anyone who is...

I JUST got a used Sapphire Tri-X 290 off of ebay for $300 last week. Now I'm feeling really bad. Should I just sell the 290 on Ebay ASAP and wait for a 970? Or am I better sticking with what I've got? I'd like a warranty, but performance and noise are also key.

I've already done those sorts of comparisons, as I said in my first post. Reading comprehension 2 hard, eh? Anyway in your link the benchmarks are only about 10% different, which is what I saw in my searches too. Yet the FPS differences seem significant (maybe 50-70% difference). Anyone know why...

With a 290 what kind of performance boost are we talking about versus the 6970? I'd really like to get at least a 50% improvement over what I'm seeing now.

I'm looking to upgrade from my HD 6950 (shaders unlocked to 6970 specs). Given my budget (about $300) I think the GTX 770 might be the best upgrade path. I'm wondering how substantial of a FPS difference I should expect if I go through with this. I game at 1440p, I'm using a 2600k OC'd to...

I've had the P5N-D board since 2008, and the Marvell (blue) SATA ports seem to have been dead for the vast majority of that time. I seem to recall reading that the Marvell controllers were faulty, and died on all these boards. However, I can't find anything regarding this issue online now. I...

It was initially at channel 11, which was heavily populated with other signals. Channels 1 and 6 are about equal (each has 2-3 signals). I'm not displeased with the overall speed, particularly on my ethernet cable connected machine, but the service feels really inconsistent, and that seems to...

I've got internet only. The flakiness is showing up most on the mac, but I've experienced significant speed issues on two iphones as well. They are not, however, showing the weird low-data-point issue that I'm seeing on the Mac. The problem does seem to be entirely on wireless devices. However...

I'm getting really odd results from www.speedtest.net in the past couple of weeks. The AT&T tech replaced my ethernet socket, cable, and modem a couple of weeks ago, and my router settings were reset in the process. Since then when running the test on my mac laptop I'm getting these results with...

Sorry for not noting this earlier, but I am using a SSD. However, I keep a large number of games on my HDD that don't fit on the SSD, and I want the HDD to be as snappy as possible.

I've been searching around for a couple of hours now and it seems that a lot of people are having issues with their WD1003FZEX 1TB drives. They say that the access times are in the 15-20ms range, which is on par with the Blue line of drives, and not at all near the 10-13ms access times that...

Replaced the router/modem with a new 5031NV model and the issue is now resolved. Didn't get a clear answer on why the old gateway was broken, but it clearly was. Thank you so much for your offer crusty. That's incredibly generous of you. The sort of offer I would expect from a friend, not a...

I think that's likely as well. What makes one go bad though? I figured if it was going to break it would either work fully or be broken fully, not slowly crap out.

Modem shows no signs of error. Ethernet/Wireless connections are blinking at what seems an unusually fast rate, but no red lights have shown up. However, I just tried to connect my Apple laptop to the network after being in standby mode overnight and got a "Could not connect" "A connection...

As if by magic, the problems returned again tonight around midnight. Currently fluctuating between 0.5mbps and 5mpbs. I cannot fathom what the cause could be. Unfortunately the problem is going in and out so unpredictably that I can't get a useful readout on that realtime tool. Perhaps most...

Well after one more reset around 1:30AM things seemed to have sorted themselves out. I'm not looking to pinpoint the specific issue so much as understand what sort of issue could cause a slowdown in both internet and LAN connections. 3600HGV is probably two years old.

Around 9:30PM tonight my internet started to act up. First it seemed like the DSL coming into the house was having trouble, but now I am having trouble even running video over my LAN (from my desktop to my phone). My ping on places like speedtest.net is usually 30-50, and my download speed is in...

I have no intention of buying a new mobo. I'm fine with 4 SATA ports, and I can make do with 2 SATA ports. I just need to figure out how to get these two Marvell ports working.

That's what I was worried to hear. I can live without the ports, it will just mean having to jimmy with the cables every time I want to use the DVD drive. Could you go into more detail about why the SATA ports won't even recognize the drive? From what I've read it sounds like the ports will...

This may be the problem. The reason I want to flash is thus- I just got a SSD and installed Win7 on it. I'm having trouble activating, so I need to use my DVD to upgrade Win7 on top of Win7 (silly I know). Unfortunately now I have a SSD, a DVD, and a HDD and all need SATA ports. Only my two...

I didn't know I needed to rename it. In fact I thought that would cause trouble. Could you elaborate? Mind you I never successfully updated at all. I'm still on 1606.

I really appreciate all of the info guys. It looks like my 3gb ports already have failed, as I can't get anything to even register in bios when plugged into those ports. I thought only the 3gb ports were susceptible to failure? I've tried to install the 2303 bios from...

B2. I take it that means I'm relegated to the 2XXX bios options? Edit: moreover, what is the best bios (i.e. most updated/stable) to use with my B2 board?

TBH the only thing I've been able to determine is that I don't have a Rev3 board. I bought it in early 2011 so I've forgotten any other specifics, and I don't have the box handy. Any tips?

Really weird problem updating my bios. When I try use the Asus EZ Flash built into UEFI it repeatedly tells me that the bios file failed an integrity check. This is despite downloading the file (P8P67-PRO-ASUS-3602.ROM) multiple times from different locations, and using different USB sticks...

I just installed my 840 Pro and I wanted to show my method/results to see if I'm missing anything. Here was my process (which might help anyone looking to install theirs too) 1. Plug 840 Pro into external drive bay, updated firmware to DXM04B0Q using the Samsung Magician software 2...

That sounds more like it, but I don't seem to have the Intel Control Panel installed. If I do it's not coming up in any searches. My default battery profile is "microsoft signature", though. Might that be the cause of the problem?

Nope, it's definitely a software problem. Always happens immediately after I bring it out of hibernation, and never happens when I move the screen. I just don't know what software to look for to fix it.

When I open my Toshiba Portege to take it out of hibernate, the screen very briefly (for about a second) looks really crisp and the brightness/gamma looks ideal, but then some color profile seems to take over, making it brighter and more washed out. I've adjusted my gamma as low as possible...
