Hello. In the Nvidia Control Panel, the brightness level used to work until I had updated the graphics card drivers in which it does nothing when adjusting the brightness slider and clicking apply. I had upgraded the graphics card itself recently and was hoping this new driver for another...

WOW! Thank you so much for all of the detailed information. I did not know that the VRAM would not be combined. I was sort of hoping that would've been the case. Regardless, I am still going to try it. It does sound like the 1000w would be plenty since you had used only a 550w with your setup...

Hello. I already have 1 EVGA GTX 970 FTW graphics card in the system and am going to get a second one to try SLI'ing them together. I am just wondering if there are any precautions that should be done beforehand? I am making sure that the second GPU is an exact match having the FTW stats. I am...

Hello. I am checking to see if both of these RAM sets are compatible with this motherboard? Motherboard: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119154?Item=N82E16813119154 RAM 1: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820231969?Item=N82E16820231969 RAM 2...

Hello. I have a 2TB Seagate Drive that died suddenly. There is no noise and sounds like it powers up when connected each time. It is still showing in BIOS, but does not show in Windows like it once did. Whenever the HDD is plugged in, sometimes there is a S.M.A.R.T Scan Bad HDD error message...

Hello all. I have an Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark1/USB3.1 Motherboard and am trying to update it to the latest BIOS to see if that may help with making the M.2 NVME drive to finally work. Current BIOS version is from 2015 (2801) and the latest is: 3503 With Asus, the files are called CAP files...

Is this normal for this type of drive or is it because of the motherboard features?

Oh! So you cannot load Windows onto it? Only as a secondary type drive?

Hello. I have an Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1/USB 3.1 Motherboard and was wondering the compatibility of a M.2 drive or one of those that are even faster than SSD's. Also, if certain generations of the technology may only go so high for this motherboard such as Generation 3 and not Generation 4...

Sweet! I'll look into Carbon Copy Cloner too! Thanks for the information! :)

Thank you for the reply. It would mostly just be used for the main boot drive that has the OS on it and any games that I mostly play to help cut down on loading screen times. How much do one of these M.2 Adapters cost and would the PCIe slot be an option too?

Hello. I have an Asus SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 1/USB 3.1 currently using Samsung 850 Pro SSD's but am thinking of getting a bigger one that is faster. I have heard of M.2's being up to possibly 4x faster and was wondering if this motherboard can support an older model, if not the latest. There is an...

I may just end up buying 1 big SSD drive for the main boot one and if I can get a system image onto the new one, that would be great!

Drives are 2 Samsung 850 Pro's 256GB each. 161GB are free from 476GB. 🆒

Upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. It goes into Sleep mode fine but anytime push a key to come back out of it.. it does nothing and has to be reset. Also it stops loading windows upon the first reset (the circles stop moving when says Loading Windows) then just stays on that...
