    Asus Maximus VI Hero CPU LED Solid Red

    Most likely bad CPU. RMA it.

    CPU runs hot with corsair H100i

    Is it mounted correctly? If you used the wrong screws, it might not be on tight enough. It may look like it's seated well, but in reality it's not. Haswells have temperature jumps, but 100c is too much in 10 seconds.

    Can anyone suggest radiator set-up for this rig pls, I have no idea :-)

    2x 120mm on the top and 2x 120mm in the front. AMAZING looking build. It might be a bit of a squeeze with the pumps and reservior. Make sure to measure. Try to get the thickest rads that will fit.

    Fastest and Best Performance SetUp? More Sticks or Less?

    Depends which socket, Quad-Channel: 4 sticks. Dual Channel: 2 sticks. Dividing the ram over more slots won't do anything but increase your chances of getting a bad stick, and you'll (probably) end up paying more. 16 GB or more is probably a good idea.

    780 won't boot

    Did you uninstall the old drivers before you put the new ones in? Did you uninstall drivers before you put the 780 in?

    "Nvidia Driver xxx.xx has crash and been recovered" issue: Help please?

    Wait! I'll try to offer some help, although it seems hopeless. Ok, did you check the card to make sure the fans are working, no strange sounds? Also, did you check to make sure you have completely uninstalled the graphics driver, and got a fresh copy from Nvidia? Don't bother using the...

    New Haswell Mobo&CPU make video game framerates worse!

    Go into BIOS and make sure the ram is running at 1333MHz. Also, get CPUid and run Prime95. Intel power save might be screwing around and keeping it in power save mode. Check to see if the CPU is running at rated speed.

    motherboard installation in tower

    I'm supposing you mean the power switch to turn the system on? If so, there's no real orientation. If you are talking about LED's of any kind, plugging them in incorrectly will cause no harm, just reverse the connection if they don't light up.

    all 3 hard drives not detected

    Yep, while highly unlikely, it is possible for 3 drives to fail. But considering 2 are SSD's from a very reputable company, I would think something else to be wrong.

    motherboard compatibility questions

    Yes, the difference in performance, imo, is worth the $20 dollars. Just, upgrade your PSU if you want that Graphics Card. Other than that, you'll be set!

    all 3 hard drives not detected

    Go to the other computer and connect the mechanical hard drive correctly. Then, format it following these instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-format-hard-disk-partition#create-format-hard-disk-partition=windows-7ns: *facepalm* I thought about it, and you can't see...

    MSI 990FXA-GD65 + AMD FX-6300 + 16GB 1866MHz RAM Won't Boot

    Make sure all of the power connectors are snug. If they are, you should try to see if any of the ram is defective. If not, boot the system with the bare essentials. Keyboard, CPU, Graphics, and one stick of ram.

    You should be fine, but that 300w PSU is bugging me. You can use it in the short term, but you should consider upgrading it.
