Hi guys, about a year ago I rebuilt my computer and finally got around to trying to overclock this thing. I've been having some trouble, here are my specs... i5-4670k Asus Z87-pro Hyper 212-evo I'm very very basic with overclocking, having read some guides and watched videos on youtube. I'm...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a new long term gpu to replace my 1gb gtx 460 as I don't upgrade often. I've decided between the msi n760 hawk 2GB and the msi 760 gaming 4GB. I know the n760 is cheaper, better, and sexier but I think I may need the 4GB for the future and heavily modded Bethesda games...

Oh! sorry about that. i5-4670k Asus Z87-pro MSI GTX 760 Gaming Sony Optiarc DVD Samsung Spinpoint 7200rpm 500g HDD Antec 300 Illusion G Skills Ripjaws 8gb (4x2gb) Hyper 212 Evo Nice to see another Z87-pro owner btw :)

Currently I have a single MSI GTX 760 but my OCZ PSU just died, I'm looking to upgrade to one of these seasonic models with wanting to keep the option of adding a 2nd 760 in the future... Mind i'll be overclocking the GPU and CPU. Seasonic M12ll SS-750AM 750w...

Is there any ramifications for having too much wattage? I want to upgrade to a GTX 770 or a 760 (perhaps Volcanic Islands GPU when they arrive) in the future so I was thinking of getting a SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088. I don't plan...

I brought it to a repair shop (as this seems out of the realm of my knowledge) and they were able to get the motherboard and fans on with a separate PSU, (got a d7 debug code on the asus motherboard) although the computer itself won't post (although it was just a quick test). Is this a good...

Hi guys, this is kind of a long story... About 3 months ago my computer wouldn't turn on after moving into a new apartment, I took it to a technician and he confirmed either the motherboard or the CPU was faulty. I figured this was probably normal since it was almost a 4 year old gigabyte...

Interesting! I had heard that Skyrim was one of the games that hadn't actually taken advantage of the Steam Cloud. Was this a recent thing?

Hello guys, I just recently bought an Asus Z87-pro, new windows 7 OEM and haswell 4670k to replace my old P55 motherboard that fried. Everything went smooth, I reformatted my 500gb hard drive and reinstalled windows and there is one thing that is puzzling me. I redownloaded steam, reinstalled...

So I reformatted the hard drive and installed my new version of windows. Everything seems to be going smoothly except one thing is really puzzling me. I re-downloaded steam and skyrim and I was under the impression reformatting would completely erase all my data. When I went to play Skyrim I...

I just have the one fan on, it didn't come with 2. I can feel the air coming out from the back of my case.

Hi guys, I recently installed a hyper 212 evo into my new build. (Asus z87-pro and Haswell i5-4670k). I feel like the one fan I installed (the stock one) is loud even at 600 rpm. Is it possible I installed it wrong or I have a faulty fan? Its not rattling or anything, its just an audible fan...

I'm seeing that the Windows CD is showing me Disk 0 Partition 1 (100mb, 86 mb free) as a system partition and a Partition 2 as a 465.7 GB partition with 465.6 GB free as a Primary partition. Should I delete these before installing this new Windows OEM or is just formating them sufficient? I want...

Hi guys, I just got a new asus Z87=pro motherboard, Haswell CPU, and a new copy of windows 7. I want to install this on my old hard drive, and I want to make sure I install it right. What is the best way to do this? Should I boot from the asus motherboard disk first or the new copy of windows...

I decided to make sure everything was plugged in correctly and decided to try a second boot. Everything worked like a charm, no smoke, MBO is reading everything (besides the "A2" still showing on the motherboard CPU temp monitor) but I heard that is common on asus boards with the hyper 212 evo...
