So I have 16 gigs of g skill 1866 mhz ram. When I went to change it in the BIOS I activated the XMP mode which says the RAM is at 1866 mhz but when I am in the BIOS main screen it shows that XMP is activated but it shows the RAM speed as 1333 MHz. So basically the BIOS home page (UEFI ez mode)...

Hello everyone, I have been building my first pc today and I have been having some trouble. After about an hour of not knowing what was wrong with the PC I decided to start removing pieces to see what was wrong. When I removed my 780 ti I was finally able to get into bios and start installing...

Hey everyone. I have bought pieces for a new computer using some black friday deals and what not and now I am considering on what to do for my monitors. As of now, I have 2 23" 1080p monitors that I planned on using for my new pc. However, the more I think about it and read about it, 1440p...

Hey guys, I already built my sandy bridge PC, got my P8P67 Pro from microcenter beginning of March, I am just wondering why the P8P67 Pro seems to be one of the only boards not on newegg. I know they are very popular and what not, but it seems weird they would wait this long to put the most...

So I ordered 3 days ago the MSI P67A GD55 but then today went to microcenter and picked up the last p8p67 pro. I ordered 1333 RAM g skill 8gb from newegg because it was recommended to get 1333 ram. I was wondering if I should pick up new RAM that would better suit the asus board. Any...

Well, about the sandy bridge part. I would definitely wait, in fact, you might not really have to wait at all if you have a lot of free time until Saturday. There have been a few brands bringing out p67s and h67s every day for the past 3 including MSI. I picked up an MSI P67A GD55 last night...

Keep checking newegg, just picked up the MSI p67a gd55, not the ideal board but it still is a pretty damn good board for 160, it seems they will be putting up one or two a day so try to get lucky. They sell fast
