I screwed something up on my laptop, and was forced to use my recovery disks. Everything worked fine during the recovery. Now, I have to set my BIOS to boot from HDD rather than from disc. I go in the BIOS, go to the boot tab, and lo and behold, the HDD is not listed as a boot option. How can I...

It isn't much, but the 3610qm (7525) has a higher PassMark score than the 3570k. (7135)

If I was to set up a Corsair H60 in push-pull with two 25mm Enermax fans, (in the rear of the NZXT Phantom 410, if that helps any.) what screws would I need?

I'll get the Asus

It has a 90 day warranty... Edit: no refunds, and a 30 day return warranty.

Find somewhere else to hit. The desk, perhaps. Desks are sturdy, and they feel good to hit. :>

I'm in the market for a 120hz monitor around $250. I've found a couple of good contenders: A refurb Asus VG236HE, and a new Acer GD235HZbid. Which should I get?

I suppose I'll go with IB then.

I think I am leaning towards the 2500k, as it overclocks better. Any reason to get the 3570k? I'm not worried about the price — It's only $10 more.

Hmm. I guess I will consider the Hyper 212 evo. Should I get the 3570k or 2500k with it? I heard Ivy Bridge is having some thermal issues. I heard the Hyper 212 evo doesn't come with pre-applied paste, so I guess I will buy some Shin-etsu x23.

I'm building a gaming PC, and I wanted to know if I should get a 2500k or a 3570k if I wanted to do a moderate overclock with a Corsair H60. ASUS P8Z77-V Pro mb NZXT Phantom 410 case
