Arctic P12s or P14s - can do both? I notice on some build pics - the 360 AIOs often go towards the top front fan - there's very little clearance - just a bit of a gap. Some 280s - make it look like a 360 wouldn't even fit. This is with various cases - not just these two. The P600S -...

Which case is better? Air cooling or liquid cooling. Prices are similar - about the same. Meshify 2 choices: gray w/ light tint or white with clear TG. The P600S choice is gray w/ TG. Ultimately, 'will get a 280 or 360 AIO and mount it in the top. Using Noctua or Arctic P12s or P14...

Okay. I know that MSI removed their entire bios page with just a register option. So this isn't the worst thing regarding bios. I thought people were trying to go back to a previous bios. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone was having issues with the intel lan. Eventually, new boards were to...

Read through the thread. Some owners of this motherboard flashed a newer Bios version that Asus took down. The latest version on the Asus website is 0805. Apparently, there were some bugs and Asus removed it. They released it too early without testing it? Anyway, they are trying to flash it...

Do you still want that?

I agree with this guy. I think buying a super duper expensive board is overrated unless you need some specific features that aren't on other boards. Do you need to buy any other computer components for your board or is the mobo the last component you plan to buy? If the former, I'd get a...

Should I take it back alienating myself from a local supplier, though? It does annoy me, though, and the local shops around here really suck! Seriously! There's not many and you would think they'd have done enough builds by now. I'm not sure storming in there demanding my money back...

I am considering getting a 2nd router that can be used as a backup when I decide on a 'final setup' or ISP. For around $30, I can just 2 ISPs for now. Also, I'd have a backup. I don't know much about routers but I thought of getting one that is more compatible with the 'special firmware...

Hahaha... it could be that *I'm* just extremely odd..... :laugh: Seriously, though, yes, this probably sounds like a strange request but if you check out the site 'dsl reports',' there's a lot of people who have two ISP connections for some reason. :) I'm considering switching to just the...

I have a question about routers. I have two ISPs since I don't want to cancel the old/previous one before I have the other one connected and working. Problem is, I only have one router. I can't have them using the same router, right? I'm wondering how to do this. Perhaps, have the...

I don't think the Ram I have is available anymore. If I wanted another 2GB or 4GB, which one is the most compatible and is there a good place to get a good price for it? http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Blackline/991587B.aspx or? http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Blackline/996587B.aspx I thought...

Thanks. Thanks to caleb, too, for his contribution. :) But, now, I feel dumb 2x plus I have a couple of other problems. 1) I should have known you guys were talking about the SATA controllers! I opened up the box aka took off one of the side panels (this is an Antec 300 case). The...

Boot priority is set. Could you elaborate on the cables? I guess my next step of troubleshooting will be to inspect the cables. But, I am used to yellow/orange cables but it's been a while since I had to look at the burner. Not familiar with 'white cables' or 'other ones.'

Is it possible that the optical drive works via power if the data cable isn't plugged in? Would the BIOS indicate this one way or the other? I guess I'm going to have to take the case off and everything??!? I can't find any settings that are wrong for booting... CD ROM is set as the...

Hi, I'm having trouble with a new mobo I switched to. There's currently 3 HDDs and a Samsung DVD burner installed but I can't boot up using the DVD burner. I was even having trouble with the boot priority but maybe it's better now. I like the layout of the Asus BIOS (I guess it's American...
