Thanks for the reply. I realised the coloured ones each have one hole in the connector blanked off. One is a corner and the other a couple of spaces in (can't remember which is which) but I read somewhere that it should be possible to find what goes where with that information. Coupled with...

I'm building a new desktop for my sister using her old case (Asus M11BB). I disconnected the front panel header connectors and then realised they don't have labels on indicating what is what, but they are different colours. I've checked the manual online but it seems to be a basic manual (how to...

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried everything already minus the new battery so I'll get her to try that and update you after. Power supply looks fine she says. The only branding on it is Asus. It's not old, only a few years but not exactly sure.

Thanks for the reply. I've updated the post.

It seems to me like it's just bitten the dust but neither of us have anything better to do so I'm trying to help her fix her Asus pre-built over video call (yey). The monitor just stopped displaying one day when she booted up (it just stays on standby). She's tried another monitor with another...

To be clear I'm not sure if this is an overclocking issue or a keyboard issue, or something else. My 2500k has started crashing every now and then and when it reboots I get to the bios screen with the message 'The system has experienced boot failures due to overclocking... Press any key to...

Hi all, For some reason the Windows Defender health report is finding an error with the Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller driver. I've not noticed any difference in performance and have tried downloading the driver from my motherboard manufacturers website but am still getting the error. It is...

Sup guys, This is not a problem I'm currently having, just one I expect to have in a couple of years (or hopefully more). So I'm running a 2011 2500k @ 4.5ghz with a Z68 board. These plus the hard drive are the only original parts left from when I built the machine back then. When either one of...

Just in case you haven't made a decision yet I'll chip in. I built my rig in 2011. 2500k, GTX580, 8GB RAM. When the GTX1080 came out I thought maybe it's time for an upgrade. I had the same question of would the cpu bottleneck the 1080? With a hole mix of answers I thought I'd just go for it...

Great stuff, cheers guys.

Hi, I'm looking to totally swap out my RAM for new. I've currently got 2 x 4GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance installed, and wanting to replace it with 2 x 8GB Vengeance Pro. My question is that my system is overclocked and I fiddled with the RAM settings. I can't simply put in two more 4GB sticks as...
