I just did a fresh installation on a new SSD of Windows 7 Pro 64 from my purchased OEM system builder disk. I then changed the product key to the one that was orginally assigned to my system. Windows 7 will not update. I've tried checking manually and even setting to automatic. It won't...

After the great help here I swapped my 3930K for an E 1680v2 on my ASUS P9X79 Pro. I also upgraded my 120mm AIO to a 240mm and added another 200MM fan. So now I want to OC it to a stabil speed and I've never done that before. This is a work computer running Adobe Premiere CS6 and 3ds Max so it...

Hi. For years I've been hardware cloning my systems C: once I get everything working so I can easily swap drives in case of a problem and I'm right back working again. I read about possible issues hardware cloning SSDs and thought I'd start a thread specifically about this. I got some new SSDs...

I currently have 64GB RAM in my P9X79 Pro system. It is 1600Mhz. What is the max Ram capacity and speed I can use? I think it's 64GB and 2400MHz but not sure. I want to get the best out of it that I can EDIT: and if I am changing the 3930k CPU to a Xeon do I have to use ECC RAM?

My system originally came with a 250GB SSD. I later hardware cloned it to a 500GB SSD and finally hardware cloned it to a 1TB SSD. When I hardware cloned it, it left unallocated space so I ended up adjusting the partition size with Acronis Disk Director 12. So now I have a system drive that...
