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.

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)

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...
