First off I own a Raspberry Pi and I enjoy it, its my media device in the living room for streaming content, best part is that its plugged into the USB port on my LG TV and when you turn...

I was able to get everything running, problem was the USB 3.0 ports where the install drive was listed. I was able to finally get Windows 7 loaded and its running great.

Got speedstep and thermal...

I picked up a Z77 Extreme4 yesterday. I have it installed and I am trying to get it to install Windows 7 x64 onto the SSDs.

The H80 is thicker than the H60 and also comes with two fans for push/pull config. The room my office is in already 23-25C depending on the day for ambient temps, the only other cooler that is worth...

Dropping the 128GB drive for a Samsung 830 64GB as a boot drive (OS/Basic Apps) since games will be dedicated to the Force GT 120GB. The savings will allow me to upgrade to the Corsair H80 cooler.

I will be using the 830 for windows and applications and my Force GT 120GB for games and other things. they will both be on SATAIII connection. with the H60 I plan on doing push/pull config with...

I decided to go with the Sammy 830 due to the Vertex 4 having major performance changes after its 50% full, and firmware updates have been requiring the drive to be wiped.

I looks like I am going...

How do you feel about the Patriot Viper 3 Venom Red Memory or the cooler options for IB 3570K?

I have nothing against ASRock but i have a current Gigabyte and it hasn't given me any issues.

So other board options are:

ASRock Extreme4 - $15 less
ASRock Extreme6 - $20 more
ASUS P8Z77-V...

I have been looking and I will be going to Microcenter to purchase the CPU/Mobo because of the combo deal.

i5-3570K - $190
z77 UD3H - $100 (after $50 instant savings for combo purchase)

and I...

How can you read the post and then go down to see my reply to Leeghoofd (who had a reasonable recommendation) which I informed why I didn't pick a M-ATX and why it won't work for my need...

The reason for no M-ATX boards is because of my configuration and use of parts I would not be able to fit the hardware.

Dual slot 560Ti video card
LSI 8408E Raid Controller which really needs...

I am switching from my AMD Phenom II X2 build as listed in my signature. And I have been looking at dropping the money on something that will give me good performance for the next few years. I can't...

I have a Tuniq Tower 120, and was thinking about investing in a much better Air cooler like a ThermalRight or something that will be usable later on even with a new CPU and board. I am sure I can get...

Unfortunately due to recent issues, it looks like I will be chilling with my 550 BE unlocked into a Quad a bit longer. I recently came out of being unemployed and My truck needs some work and got to...

I have been a long time AMD guy, My first being an old Thunderbird then a Barton 2500+

I have had experience before with the CPU making a huge difference with a video card. My old 6400+ & 9800GTX...

I was not happy with the way that Bulldozer turned out as far as its performance. I am getting ready to upgrade from my Sig system to a new CPU/Motherboard/DDR3 to help me with the latest generation....

So anyone else have any recommendations, Gigabyte or the Asus board? and I have an old Tuniq Tower 120 that I was going to try to find the mount for, or would I be better off with a new heatsink for...

I am looking to switch to an Intel platform after many years of being a full AMD cpu guy for the bang/performance options while on a budget. But I recently got a GTX560 Ti and the Bulldozer was a bit...

Turbo is an engineered feature and strictly tested feature of the CPU. And fully loading a CPU with a group of VMs will put more strain and test alot of things that games and benches won't touch....

As a guy that has a large interest in Virtualization and Mission Critical, I would never recommend anyone to buy a CPU and Overclock it for something like VM work. Virtualizing will put your OC's...

I didn't have time to wait for a drive from Newegg to ship, I need my desktop for school and work. I made my way up to Fry's and was able to grab a Corsair Force GT 120GB for $180 with a $30 mail in...

I'm not set on a Vertex, I know there are other great drives based on the SF-2281 or should I go with a crucial m4 or something similar

I am looking to replace a dying 250GB Hard drive on my desktop. It is hooked up to my LSI Controller so it performs quite well but now I am getting random spurts of 2MB/s max read speeds and I am...
