Greetings, I decided to give it a try. So, I’ve updated my ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 motherboard with the Modified BIOS 4801 using the ASUS BIOS Flashback and configured the BIOS settings (OS Type Windows UEFI, Boot from PCI-E: UEFI driver 1st, Fast boot OFF). I’ve purchased and installed the...

Thank you footballrunner800. Yes, want a copy of your modified bios for nvme, but I am unable to sent PMs/conversations since I don't have 25 posts yet. Thank you Shmee for the information, I appreciate it.

Thank you very much for your valuable answer, I will take it into account (if only the chipset of my motherboard was 3 or 4 years more recent ...). Modifying the BIOS sounds complicated and dangerous, it could potentially render the motherboard unusable. Based on this information, I will have to...

Greetings Anandtech, I have the following configuration: Motherboard ASUS SABERTOOTH X79, with BIOS 2104 (2012/08/14), CPU Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz, RAM G Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9-4GBZH (x4 : 16 GB). I want to request your valuable help with the following inquiry: I am...

That’s very helpful information as usual. :thumbsup: Taking into account all of the above, I have proceeded to assembly the X79 system and will be testing / benchmarking it. I extend to all of you my gratitude for all your kind help; I really appreciate it. All of you are very knowledgeable...

Nice! Your advice, including tips and recommendations, is so well organized and thought that I’m going to make it my builder’s guide from now on. Thank you very much! :awe: I’m dedicating a complete day, taking my time for this task; no rush here. :cool: So, after the build is completed I’m...

I initially thought about installing the Backplate to prevent the NH-D14’s fan clips from touching (and short-circuiting) the GPUs PCB. But you’re right, There’s not enough space there! I'll just use insulating tape. $20 saved, thanks! It just happens to be that, due to some Amazon.com really...

I must say that you guys are very knowledgeable. I really appreciate all of your valuable advices that have saved me a couple hundred dollars. Thank you! :D I based my decision on the Online hardware sites I visited that explained about the ASUS Sabertooth X79’s better quality components...

Sure! Here’s the updated list: 1. Intel® Core™ i7-3930K [BX80619I73930K]; 2. ASUS Sabertooth X79 (I do live in a hot & moist place, so I think it’s worth it.); 3. G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) [F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH] (16GB more later on); 4. Noctua NH-D14 [SE2011]; 5. Intel® SSD...

Both Keyboards have the characteristics I’m looking for: Mechanical with back-light and functional. But the K70 isn’t yet available @ Amazon.com; the K60 is available instead. I’ll continue my Mechanical keyboard research later but would probably choose the Corsair Vengeance K60, unless I find...

That sure is some very interesting information. The Logitech G seems a nice Mechanical keyboard. Which Mechanical keyboard would you recommend? Time is running out and I need to order soon the PC Components and Parts in order to fulfill the planned schedule. Any other thoughts regarding my...

Ok, since both HDDs have similar performance, I’ll purchase the Seagate Barracuda 3TB since it is better, both in price and storage capacity. I won’t be using it for anything fancy, just general storage. Thanks for the advice. :thumbsup: It makes sense and I agree about not needing a...

Interesting picks on Audio, Motherboard and Storage. Yes, that little fella (6 physical / 12 thread) CPU should prove useful with video encoding and other tasks. While researching for the Motherboard, the ASRock X79 Exreme6 was one of my options and its specs were OK, but sadly it...

Hello there! Regarding Audio, as you might have noticed from my 2 options, I’m looking for a Dolby 7.1 Surround sound Wireless headset. Yes, I said Wireless; I’m tired of tangled cables. I searched the market and there aren’t many options out there and no possibilities to try them out simply...

Greetings folks, I’ve been searching the hardware market for some time now for all the necessary Components & Accessories for my 2013 new Performance PC build. I have specific purposes and many ideas for this Performance PC. It’s been a long road, but finally here it is! Of course...
