Hello, All! I'm interested in getting a 939 socket m/b and an Athlon64 3000+. I've always been an Asus m/b person, but thought I would at least test the waters on views of the Asus vs. other m/b's. Any views on 'best' of these three manufactures for socket 939? Thanks. Colonel Blip.

Are there any 865 or newer boards with on-board IDE RAID, or is my only choice SATA RAID?

Hello, My question is: Does static electricity travel via metal only ? or plastics too ? The back of the pc has a metal (?) brace which is part of the motherboard. I touched it, and maybe could have damaged the motherboard that way.

Good day. Anyone know if ASUS BIOS'es contain "Absolute Computrace" module? "Absolute Computrace allows organizations to persistently track and secure all of their endpoints within a single cloud-based console. Computers and ultra-portable devices such as netbooks, tablets, and...

My system "had" two Seagate 80mb SATA drives set-up in a RAID 1 (mirror) configuration on an ASUS A7N8X Delux motherboard, using the on-board Silicon Image Sil 3112A RAID controller. Several weeks ago my system crashed and I was unable to boot or otherwise access my disk drives. I did not have...

Header says it all, I overclocked my 2500+ Barton core to 3200+ speed by upping the FSB to 200MHz. This results in about a 5 to 7 degree C increase in diode temp. Should it go THAT much higher? I am using an Antec fan I picked up at Circuit City, has a copper plate for the bottom and VERY...

Hello, I have a new theory how the power supply got damaged: AMD's X2 3800+ dual core processor has CPU Throttling. I downloaded a special AMD Software tool called AMD Power Monitor or something like that. Which throttles back the CPU when it's idling... then when it needs to do

Hi, I'm experiencing problems with Intel Core 2 E6800 temperatures on my ASUS mainboard, but part of the problem is I don't even know if the values I'm seeing reported on screen are correct or not! I've created a quick web page with a screen shot and details...

I have been given a Fractal Design Define XL which as 2 x USB3 ports on the front I was wondering is there a way to use my old U3S6 card ( http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Accessories/U3S6 ) to hook up to these front USB3 ports or will they only connect to a motherboard...

Lem wrote: Do all Dell PCs (for the UK market) come with Dell's own motherboards? I am thinking of getting a Dell but I don't want to find that it uses a Dell proprietary motherboard that may have little technical data available. ISTR hearing that Dell used a non-standad wiring on...

What is a good uninterruptible power supply unit for the Asus P4800E-Deluxe. I want to pick up a good one and avoid frying my P4 3.2 and other components during the many summer brownouts around here. I have 8 hard drives, 2 dvd drives and a 5550W PS. Jimbo

The Asus P4C800 Deluxe Promise RAID OEM implementation . I hope that would be some Pro that would clarify once and for good for the masses with some computer knowledge which I consider part of myself. Many thanks in advance for that. Useful Links related to my questions (so nobody would answer...

I have recently built a 2.6 Ghz machine based around the P4P800 Asus m/b and everything works fine except for the fact that i cannot access the BIOS. 2 x 256MB GEIL 3200 120 Maxtor HDD Radion 9600 Pro 430 W PSU Everytime i hit DEL on restart, i am presented with a black screen - blue bar at the...

Hello, I am definetly not the only one with probably a dead BIOS chip for the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. (Confirmed by third party bios flashing service) Let's recap: 1. Asus sells a motherboard with a bios version which does not completely support 4 GB.

I'm considering not putting a floppy drive in my new computer. I have a LAN and the other computers have floppies. Anyone see a reason why I should include one? Thanks. -- Scott

Hello all, I have a Asus RTN66u. I look every few weeks for a update. Last one that is non beta & for everyone outside Japan was 3.0.0.4.376.3861 dated 2015.02.13. Newest one Beta Version 3.0.0.4.378.7410

And I figure I ought to go with a socket 2011 board, the Asus P9X79, probably. But I just can't bring myself to go forward. The problem isn't cost -- it's where to put the cooling fan for an i7 processor. Those i7 cooling fans look like NASA wind tunnels, and they stand so high off the...

I was tring to use my HDD from my HP AMD machine on a Emachine INTEL Proc as boot disk. For some reason, the HDD cannot be recogonized on my Intel Proc's motherboard. When I plug in the same in the AMD Proc Motherboard, it works great. I know most of the devices would need to be reinstalled by...

The PCI-Express might be the future technology to replace AGP video card slot in the future. Having said that, PCI-Express doesn't offer any advantage or improvement at this moment in time over AGP video cards for now. Maybe six months or a year from now, the new technology will fully...

Hi all, I wanna buy this board http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A7V8X-X&langs=01 (an A7V8X-X), but RAM should I get for it? As far as I can see PC1600 and PC2100 should be any problem, no matter how I do it. PC3200 would work if I only use two banks (Do I _have_ to use two banks, or is one...
