Hello, I've just begun to overclock my i5 3570k processor and have done some stress testing. I am clocking in at 4.6Ghz and after running prime95 for ~25 minutes, here are my results: The temperature generally hangs around 77 celcius, but spiked up to 84 briefly a couple of times. Resting...

Hello, I just finished my first build and I'm working on overclocking my 7970. Right now I'm just bumping the settings in Catalyst and running 3DMark to check my performance. This is what I'm at now : http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4355200 It seems rather low, and on games such as Guild Wars 2...

Update: So the USB-PS/2 Adapter for my keyboard does allow my keyboard to work with the windows installation. You don't have a PS/2 port for your mobo?

Well, I just found a USB-PS/2 adapter for my keyboard. It doesn't work in BIOS or Windows....

Well, that was an exaggeration. Here's a more specific account: I have my SSD plugged into my Sata3 gray slot, DVDR Plugged into a black sata2 slot. I boot, it detects both fine. I power off, connect my HDD to a SATA2 OR Sata3 slot, boot up, and it ONLY detects my SSD (the DVDR is now...

EDIT: It seems to be only detecting the drive that's plugged into the bottom gray slot on my mobo. The other slots fail.

ASRock z77 Extreme 4. It's a new build - Haven't even installed windows yet. So no new mobo drivers or anything I've tried it in all different ports. My SSD is plugged into the gray sata3 port. There's 2 slots on that, so I initially tried having both SSD and HDD on the gray slot. I've since...
