No, go away.

The top GX in my list.

Nothing high end. A Sapphire 4 display capable card, 6 or so HDD's. I don't really game much. I've been using 3 Gigabyte g-85 MBs since 2008 and they are slowly giving out. This ASUS is my new MB and it's over 4 yo just now installing it but it's got 10Gb/s USB so it's new to me. Is there any...

Hey, 1) Newegg has the GX-850 SSR 850-FX, 10 year 120mm fan $114 full mod v2.4 or v2? 2) GX-850 v3 135mm fan 10 year $149 full mod 3) GM-850, 7 YEAR 120mm fan semi-modular $129 I'm guessing the top 850 is older stock newegg is rotating but I would trust it more than the GM-850...

When you cleared the CMOS, assuming it worked, the primary display would have reverted back to the IGX. Does your Asus have a button to clear CMOS? I would use the Real Time Clock pins after removing the battery, after removing the power cord and pushing the on button 3 or 4 times to dissipate...

You can format C (not using the install disk or installer) with (FREE) third party s/ware then when ready to install 10 will install only where you tell it to, w/o any hidden partitions etc ... W10 can be installed on a system with a BIOS and MBR style disk, 32bit or 64bit or on a GPT style disk...

In post #12, he states he can also boot to BIOS and make changes there.
