Thanks, but I'm using the 1 meter cables that come with them. No need for longer cables in my setup. Getting better 3rd party cables is on the "tick" list as I troubleshoot this issue. Although, I did some upgrading last night and have only had ONE USB 3.0 EXT HDD hooked up and so far it...

This problem is just INSANE!! I've bought 3 USB 3.0 Ext. HDD's (2 WD & 1 Seagate) over the last 2 years and was using them on computers that only had USB 2.0. Not one single problem, EVER. Just built a Xeon Ivy Bridge Workstation with Intel USB 3.0 ports and I have CONSTANT RANDOM...

You ARE "The Man"!! I just posted up in my thread about a 3.3 volt warning. Had no clue as to whether it was over or under voltage causing the warning. Since I was READING something in my browser that was taking some time, I'm now leaning towards the UNDER thanks to your reply here. I might...

Hmmm......3 days up & running and I just got a 3.3 volt RED warning popup from my Asus Monitoring program. But when I opened up the monitor, this is what it showed: So, I have NO CLUE as to whether it was an under voltage or an over voltage. I did have a couple of VM's running and was in...

It's even Cool as a Cucumber with the STOCK CPU cooler right now. (I won't run Prime on it until I have the RMA'd cooler back and installed though.) Had to RMA the Dark Knight II. Bad threads on on of the standoffs and loose top fin on the heatsink. Didn't want to wait on it to get the system...

I owe you a HUGE apology!!!! The ODD seemed to work just fine with the SATA III cable hooked up to it. (I did change it out just to be safe.) BUT.......My SSD SATA III ran like a regular SATA II HDD when I put a regular SATA cable on it. Based on my previous "Erroneous" data, I needed a...

DING DING DING DING!!! We have a WINNER!!! I knew that it was something SIMPLE. After all my monkeying around, I changed the SATA Power Cable BACK to the one I originally had connected to the DVD drive. When I did, VIOLA'!!! It worked all of a sudden. Then it stopped. So, I "Jiggled" the...

The BIOS is Version 3010. About the SATA III cables, first I'm pretty CERTAIN it's been PROVEN that ANY SATA cable will give you the SATA III speeds. It's all Marketing crap and they tried to use the CAT cables as an example of SPEED difference to charge more for the same old cable we've been...

The thing that is REALLY driving me NUTZ is that the BIOS Recognizes EACH Drive and displays the CORRECT Make & Model in the Boot Setup Menu.

Ok, I did the PAPER test and I'm Officially INSANE now. The PSU fan IS working properly and I turned off the be SURE that the FAN was not mount upside down or the fins the wrong way. As far as a Power Problem on the DVD drive, the LED lights up on it when I hit the button and I've even switched...

Yes, they both work just fine in my other systems. Thanks.

Rest assured, that will be next. I have another question on something that I just noticed regarding my PSU FAN. The fan is pulling air IN from the BACK of the PSU and blowing OUT through the Fan!! Every single PSU I own, the fan PULLS the air INTO the PSU and it exhausts OUT the BACK of the...

BTW, the HDD Fault light is no longer staying lit, but it still won't let me open the DVD drive tray, even if I let it post then get the Insert Bootable Media message. Well, when I get into the BIOS the HDD LED stays on. Don't know if that means it's accessing the drives or it is a fault. You...

Hey, you're giving me suggestions and are not here to see and know what I've done or haven't. I'm not being Trite with you at all. I'm just frustrated AT MYSELF MOSTLY. I've been building my computers since 1989 use to do some computer consulting a few years ago. No, I purposefully left ALL...

Uh....I haven't PHYSICALLY used the MB Jumper to clear it. I figured since it did it's first Power On thing and had ALL the RAM & CPU settings correct that I didn't want to mess it up. So, you're saying to PHYSICALLY rest the CMOS? As far as banging the Keyboard, I was and DID alter the...
