that makes sense. i missed that. ill pick up a cheap v3 cpu thats on the supported list.

Recently bought a e5-2603 off ebay to verify that my msi x99a raider was dead. It arrived and the key slots for the socket dont line up with the sockets keys so the cpu doesnt seat. It was my understanding this cpu should fit. Its supported by the board. The cpu came in bubble wrap and there was...

Bought a 3 dollar xeon 2603. If the board works with that I'll sell the board and trash the cpu. Buying ryzen 2 regardless as one of the two is dead and I dont want to invest in old tech.

CMOS was cleared multiple times. I appreciate the reply. You are probably right but as a tinkerer I like tanking things apart and cleaning.

Took my pc apart for cleaning. Once it was back together it was dead. It would boot, it wouldn't post, it would only turn aux power on and the bios light would come on. Now the bios light wont even come on. Only certain fan headers work. The 24pin connector to the board is extremely stiff and...

3100 dollars and you walk away with a quad core? You spend 700 on a cpu/mobi combo when you could get more performance for slightly more money in a x99 board and like a 6800k. I don't think this build is serious though. So many small things that don't add up.

Turns out it was my headset. Tried a bt speaker and everything was fine.

I am using a ASUS USB-400BT bluetooth adapter to connect my Cowin E7 bt headphones. Everything works fine when i start windows. Sounds plays just fine. if i ever restart my headphones though they dont reconnect. If i start a game then as soon as the game starts sound cuts out and restarting the...

i know for my 2600k i ran it at 1.39v for 4 years at that clock and no issues. you can up the voltage but watch the temps. you have a lower end cpu cooler.

more voltage. get a better cpu cooler to. you wont get much higher before the cpu shuts itself off. using hwinfo or cpuz what is your core voltage?
