    Does the receptacle have power? They work everywhere else but not at this PC. Worth asking because I just paid an AC repair man $75 to tell me the breaker was off for the fan that's outside.. go figure!

    Question DDR3 overclock to 1866MHz or 2133MHz

    The i7 920 definitely supports higher ram speeds than 1333mhz. I'll go fiddle with mine and report back... Then the Xeon that came in the mail! :)

    Question If I download the latest system BIOS, will it contain ALL the features from all the previous versions?

    BIOS updates are cumulate. If something is removed the changelog will state exactly that. Changelogs aren't anything new. Now... Have to these joker's with a grain of salt as far as BIOS update dangers. As long as you can follow simple instructions and aren't high on acid, an official BIOS...

    Question Making a wireless hotspot?

    What about MiFi? I'm using a Netgear MR1100 and I can't describe it any other way than amazing... AT&T still sells $30 unlimited data plans that don't have data caps and aren't throttled... I've almost hit a terabyte in a month! It's a little ahead of its time so the firmware isn't perfect -...

    Question Should I buy the same 8 GB RAM model?

    Newegg just had a nice deal on some DDR3 and because the heat spreaders had color options - the part numbers could vary. I wouldn't even try ordering a blue to match my reds even thought its only one character! https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233532

    Question Low speed with new SSD M.2 (Hynix 256GB)

    It might be worth opening it up and checking for other other M.2 slots, they could be either PCIE or SATA. I've seen complains of manufacturers wasting these high bandwidth slots on wireless adapters while other expansion slots are still available. Just a thought =D
