anyone have an Asus Z270i? just started building and see this: looks to be some sort of tape that needs to be removed?? anyone have any ideas?

I'm about to swap out my 2500k CPU/mobo/RAM combo to a more modern 7600k because the Z77 motherboard for the 2600k died... Am I going to need a new Windows 10 license? Or can I somehow use my old one? The Windows 10 license was the 'free' one you got when you upgraded from Windows 7

I've got a weird problem with crossfire, sometimes when I'm playing BF3 the game will of a sudden get really jittery, like the whole screen starts shaking or there'll be lines across the screen. It's never after a set amount of time and my temps are fine, like <75C per GPU in BF3. So I quit the...

I'm just setting up my 6970 crossfire setup and since it's my first time doing this.. how come there's 2 crossfire notches on each card? should I use both crossfire adapters or just one? if one, which set of notches do I use? the ones closest to the input (dvi, hdmi) ports or the ones nearer the...

Anyone have this power supply? Looking into it and was wondering if it could power a Crossfire 6970 setup with my rig in sig..

Just wondering if I need to upgrade if I want to go crossfire with the rig in my sig?

Just wondering if my rig in sig, particularly the psu, will be able to handle 6970 in crossfire

will I have any issues? or is it best to go with the same brand card?

I have the rig in my sig housed in an Antec P180.. since winter is coming now it's been a bit dry and tonight when I plugged the headphone jack into the front panel there was a static spark and then the computer rebooted.... is there anything I should worry about? Is there anyway to get rid of...

Right now I'm o/cing the rig in my sig, 2500k + Asus P8Z68-V Pro. It's my first go at this and I'm able to hit 4.5 (45 multi) with the vcore offset at +0.0200. I have LLC set to Auto, VRM set to 350 Phase is Optimal, and everything else is set to Auto including CPU PLL voltage.. Question I...

Ok so I've rebuilt my system and ready to o/c... I'm trying to find some threads on what the easiest way is to o/c these days. I'm coming from a Q6600 and seems like every time I upgrade there's news/methods to overclock. Read one of Kyle's reviews earlier and he said something like o/cing the...

I'm about to install a Noctua D14 cooler in an Asus P8Z68-Pro, just wondering, which way should it be orientated? As in, I'm pretty sure I'll have the fans facing east/west (i.e. io ports to RAm slots) but which side of the CPU should the outter fan of the D14 be? Towards the io ports or the RAM...

Ok so my Q6600 @ 3ghz is just not cutting it in 64 player BF3, I've decided to upgrade to a 2500k.. so here goes: 1. Which mobo? I think I've narrowed it down to the Asus P8Z68 Pro, do I need the Gen 3 aka PCIe 3.0? Also, what's the difference between the Z68 chipset and the P67 chipset...

Is it even necessary to open ports for BF3? I've been playing and haven't touched my router since launch day.. do you guys open the necessary ports? if so, which ones are they?

I just bought a used 4gb Slim and I'm wondering if there's a way to tell if it's been modded? I can log in to xbox live right now but don't have the gold membership yet.. it's been ages since I've been on Xbox and just want to make sure I've got a clean console, is there any sure fire way to...

I bought a Vertex 2 extended edition a little while back but now there's a really good deal on the original Vertex 2? Is it ok to mix the two for RAID 0?

I've been so confused by this and have been looking for a solid answer for awhile.. Here's my dilemma, I've got a Dell Poweredge 1800 Server 2k3 box with a PERC 4/DC. Right now it's got 2 partitions that I plan to use gparted to resize. That part I think I've got a handle on and seems easy...

I just bought a Vertex 2 to put in my new laptop but now that I'm reading about all these reliability issues with it.. should I just sell it and get an Intel G2 or 320 series?? Don't want to keep opening up the laptop to keep swapping drives if it's not going to be reliable..

I'm about to buy a used X25-m 160gb and I'm wondering what I need to do to totally wipe the drive when I get it? Is all I need to do is format? Is there any tool I can use to check the health of it? I'm new to SSDs so not sure.. thanks!

In theory, since there's no moving parts, shouldn't going to SSD from a mechanical HDD save power on a laptop? Or is this a myth? I've heard people saying it does and other saying it doesn't..

my Gigabyte P35 is dying on me so I'm looking for a cheap replacement mobo for my Q6600.. let me know, thanks! my heat: zulu888

I just got a couple of these monitors for a good deal and now I'm wondering what I could use as a good center monitor? I'm not really interested in Eye-finity but would like an IPS for the center. Ideally I'd like to turn these two 22"ers into portrait and have the center be landscape... anyone...

It's been awhile since I've overclocked a vid card and now I want to squeeze a bit of juice out of my 8800gt, it's got an aftermarket cooler so I was wondering how I go about overclocking it these days? thanks

I've got a 8800GT right now in my system and can acquire a Radeon 5770, is it worth the upgrade? Or should I just hold tight? I mainly play FPS and right now I'm playing Mass Effect 2 and (soon) BF:BC 2 thanks!

Ok here's my scenario, I've got two partitions on my RAID5 array (PERC 4/DC). C: (OS partition) and D: (the data partition). I've run out of room on both so I want to add a couple more drives to the array, extend the array, and finally extend each partition. I plan to use Acronis disk director...

Is it possible to add some space to a partition (in my case, C:\) that has a Windows (Server 2003) installation on it already? I'm hoping I can so I don't have to re-install Windows after adding space to the partition after wiping it out. Thanks!

Hi there, I've got an old Dell Optiplex that has a Windows XP license COA on the side of it but I lost the cd and want to reformat, what's the easiest way to get the legit XP on it? thanks!

I've got a client site that has an older Dell Optiplex with a COA for WinXP on the case but I don't have the CD.. is it possible to just use another Windows XP install CD but just input that product key from the COA? Or do I need to find/get that original install CD? thanks

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I'm thinking of getting a rack in my house and putting some servers in it for media storage, DBs, etc. What servers should I be looking at if I want to conserve power? thanks

Hi there, I'm kind of a n00b at this and I'm doing it for a friend so I don't want to screw up. He's got a server (Dell Poweredge 1800) with a 4 drive (4x Seagate Cheetah 10k 73gb) SCSI RAID-5 setup running MS SBS Server 2003. The controller card on it, Perc 4/dc, started beeping today and I...
