In the photo you shared your see the motherboard pins (Power SW, RESET sw, HDD, etc) in the Bottom right. It's vertical in your pic. Can you find which pins are for Power SW and Reset SW?

@ Joseph DeGarmo Yeah it was a great price! It seemed like no one noticed it I was the only bid, and when I received it and it looked Mint I was super excited. It's running great :) http://www.ebay.com/itm/271899919400?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT BTW My Corsair...

@ Rookie_MIB Wow that sound pretty straight forward. From what I've seen online about Overclocking Sandybridge CPU, I got a little overwhelmed. I'll try it out tonight and more along cautiously. Any prerequisites on windows 7 or anything else before I start to overclock? Also, I've read on...

Any opinons on the EVGA x79 FTW board vs the Asus Sabertooth x79 board? Other than more DIMMS slots what else makes the Sabertooth x79 better or worse. I'm asking because the EVGA FTW is about $35 less.

What about the EVGA X79 FTW with a i7 3930k for about $470, good price?

I do Motion Graphics work on Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. I also do 3d Graphics work on Cinema 4D, and something I play Final Fantasy 14 or other MMOs. I know After effect uses all the ram and CUDA cores I can throw at it.

On another forum they were recommending i7-4930K (since i was willing to buy it used on ebay) and some x79 motherboard for about $100. They recommend the X79 platform over the Z97 platform for a workstation. What do you guys think?

@Tradesman1 Trying to stay @ around $400 for the Board and processor. I willing to buy it used. @Joseph DeGarmo How does the X99 Platform help in speed? What improvments over X97 or X79

I'm replacing my Asus Sabertooth X58 Board since its no longer booting (trusted me I've tried everything, its done) and my Xeon X5675 and was thinking about going to a newer 2011 or 1150 socket/board. Any recommendations that are the equivalent of the my previous setup that sub $400ish Used/New...
