    New To OC'ing, What are the best Wattman Settings to OC an XFX RX470?

    Hey JCM. I have the XFX RX 470 in my current build. I'm surprised no one's answered your question. I'll add a screenshot of my overclock profile in WattMan for the GPU in this post so you can see how I have mine set up. My card is not liquid cooled and my case is pretty open to the air and...

    Router Incorrectly Identified as Gateway

    Okay, I used the updater tool from MSI to grab the latest driver but too may be incorrect. I'll see if their website has anything different that the tool might not be picking up.

    Did New BIOS Flash Change My System Partition from GPT to MBR?

    So just a question for anyone who reads this. Because I'm...me...and I feel like I'm not using a big portion of the functionality of my motherboard I'm becoming more comfortable with reinstalling Windows under UEFI conditions, now that I know I have to pay close attention to the settings...

    Installing Windows 7 under UEFI on ASUS M5A97 PRO motherboard

    I have the M5 A97 LE R2.0 so I'm going to assume the BIOS looks the same. You have to boot your computer and spam the F2 key to open the BIOS. From there open the Boot menu and then select CSM Compatibility (something like that). Make sure all selections either have "UEFI Only" or "UEFI...
