Strange enough, I unattached an reattached the sata, this time it gave me the option to install windows and also partition.

AMD Athlon 5350 ASUS AM1M-A 4 GB Ram Toshiba 250 GB HDD Sata Antec VP450P Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Retail.. Trying to install on 250GB HDD. Before this, the windows installation went through smooth on a Seagate 1TB HDD.

Hello, When I try to install a fresh copy of windows, the setup is prompting cannot be installed in the drive. Enable disk controller in Bios. How do I do that? Please help.

I have a bootleg copy of all the windows 7 versions (Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise) and all of them have 2 options (x86 or x64). I just finished assembling a HTPC with the Athlon 5350 on Asus AM1M-A and booted up DVD-RW.

Hi Guys, What is the difference between "Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 Retail x86" (Architechture x86) and "Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 Retail x64" (Architechture x64) ? Not sure which one to install. Please suggest.

q8200 @ 2.50 GHz QC with a 970, GTAV 20-30 fps, I try not to overuse the word but now that's a bottleneck. The chip is holding back your GPU, probably, the chip is running at a constant 100% and the GPU at 50% during gaming. This is what I am trying to avoid lol, as soon as the game is a little...

Hey Guys, As the title says, I just picked up an AE for a very cheap price for the heck of it which was hard to turn down. Now I know all the limitations of a non hyper threaded dual core chip, but what would you say a compatible or like to like GPU combo would be with it?? I don't want to...

Thank you Jack!

CPU is 5960x, GPUs are Titan X*2 & 980. 2 Titan Xs SLI at x16/x16 and 980 (PhysX) at x8.

Can the Rampage V Extreme run 16x/16x/8x ? I could only find 16x, 16x/16x, 16x/8x/8x, 16x/8x/8x/8x. I have also seen a thread stating 16x/8x/16x. Please I need confirmation. Thank you!

Thank you for all the help guys, really thank you very much! am going with the FX 8320; seems the better option.

Yes, productivity is important with gaming, so 8 threads will come in handy. If I am correct, 860k has just 4 MB of l2+l3 cache, but FX 8320 has 16 MB of l2+l3 cache. Is it non e fx version better at performance than a overclocked e version? and how many fps difference is there in pcie2 x16 to a...

I am aware of an Intel processor's advantages like lower power consumption and much better single core performance. However, on my budget, I have i3 as the only option. It has HT and provides 4 threads but I really don't want to pick up a dual core right now. I can't invest in an i5 now, so I...

Hello fellow pc lovers, I am looking forward to an AMD build within the next 2 weeks and I am in a big dilemma. I am unsure which CPU to choose. The system would be majorly used for gaming, but also quite extensive photo editing - video editing and rendering along with streaming. Please help me...

If the CPU bottlenecks the GPU, does it cause permanent or long time damage to the GPU ?? Thanks!
