Ok, I see. I'm going to RMA it then. Thank you.

it makes this kind of sound, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQpUUpTbYvU especially at the :09 mark, and :34 mark (without the beep)

hi, I'm not sure where you live and where you're buying these parts... but the prices you listed are a bit high. Compared prices at Newegg.com

Hi everyone, As the title says, the HDD makes a sound that I would best describe as a camera snapshot. Even when I am not writing anything to it, the sound still comes up but less frequently. I've unplugged the HDD (secondary storage) and the noise didn't come back, so I'm pretty sure that it's...

Hi, I'm going to make a bootable USB for another computer. I want to make sure if I can download Windows 8 on another computer, so that I can then transfer it to the bootable USB, but without having it auto-install or replace my existing OS. Is this possible? I just want to be really sure. I'm...

thanks for the responses, but, I also need to install the Windows 8.1 into the newly-made bootable drive, afterwards, right? I'm not sure what ISO is @__@ EDIT: oh, the link above states "Next, check the box named Create a bootable disk using, select ISO Image and then click the CD/DVD icon...

I know this question has likely been asked many times, but I've searched various discussions and sites asking and explaining, and I still don't have it all clear in my hear. Sorry! It'd be reassuring to get direct answers to my questions. Among other tutorials, I've read this one...

oooh, ok. That makes sense. Thanks a bunch :)

Were you able to place the 200m fan up to the top? I can't install two of the long screws UP on the left side of the case; there just isn't enough space to even place them into the hole, let alone using a screw driver to tighten them. I'm thinking that perhaps I can stick the long screws DOWN...

wow, so many good replies. Thank you, bouncedk, iknowhow and blackbird. If I understood correctly, a DVD burner (OEM) can do simple stuff like installing OS and software CD's (like photoshop) without downloading any free software for it, no problem. Can it also play DVD movies? So what does...

So I should be getting a cheap DVD burner for the occasional software installation and such, but I don't really understand how I need to set-it up... got a number of questions, please help. 1. So a DVD burner is the same as DVD writer, which also reads DVD's and reads and writes CD's. Did i...

I've asked this before, but I wasn't sure if I was understood correctly. And for some reason the extreme outervision calculator hasn't been working for me. So I'd like to be sure, since I'd like to get a quality PSU for keeps. CPU Intel Core i7-4770 Quad-Core Motherboard Asus z87-Pro ATX RAM...

I see. Is it a significant drop? And, the PSU efficiency doesn't affect the performance of the computer at all, right?? (as long as the PSU isn't overloaded)

sorry. Well, mm... if the load on a PSU (80+ gold) drops under 20%, does it have any negative effect on the PSU and computer? (perhaps faster aging, etc)

and I use a SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold, then the PSU is at less than 20% load. Does the efficiency of the PSU lower significantly? and, it bad for the PSU and computer parts? thank you in advance.
