C7 is just a deeper sleep state so your CPU can save some more power when idle. Sandy Bridge CPUs support C7 as long as your bios turns this feature on. I think the power savings was minimal so many manufacturers don't bother enabling C7. If you click on the C1/C3/C6 button in ThrottleStop...

What about the bios C3, C6 and C7 states? Are they enabled? That might help.

No, not always. The difference is that the computer case makers usually supply the standoffs that they want you to use for their case. Sometimes you can use other standoffs but finding an exact match is hit or miss as the case manufacturer might tell you the screw thread size for the...

Yes, this is normal. If it's creating a problem then you can go into bios and change the power saving settings to AUTO or ENABLE. That might solve the issue.

I would choose the Gigabyte Motherboard GA-Z77X-D3H One reviewer wrote "Auto Overclock is great. I did not have to do any thing. I installed G.SKILL F3-1866C10Q-32GAB 32GB (4 sticks), Intel i7-3770K with stock cooler, add 4 more SATA ports (make 12 SATA ports) and set everything to Auto...

I would join the site and contact munger to see how it's working. You're still on your own or not about it working but he/she should be able to tell you if it's still working and is he/she having any problems now.

It's normal. I've had the some problem. There's no fix that I could find. The only thing to check is whether the sata device is hot swappable or not. Unless it's the OS drive then you can't check that.

Yes, you can straighten it/them out as bankster55 says but you need to be VERY CAREFULL as the pins are made of extremely thin gold and will break if you're not careful. It might, if your lucky, have just pushed the pin out of the way when you put the cpu chip in the socket. You can get a good...

Speed will be almost the same, meaning there is a slight lag booting through the add on chip controller. Probably can only be noticed by monitoring equipment not the perceptible eye. I'm not sure if you can even get an SSD that reads or writes at the 750MB/s speed yet so you won't notice if...

Does it boot into bios without any difficulties? Can you go into bios and make changes and they stay that way after reboot? Have you tried booting into safe mode and see if it boots that way?

I'm not trying to debate what ShintaiDK says,you might be able to find those drivers on a website. But my experience with some of the other boards, including my socket 2011 board has proved to be fruitless when it comes to finding some of the drivers for windows 8 leaving some of my components...

Doesn't really answer your question but I would go with the 3570K chip and a motherboard that can use the advantages that come with it. Like the intel graphics 4000, pci-e 3.0, only 77 watts instead of 95 watts and 3 monitor support instead of just 2. I say, get your money's worth. That chip...

I would recommend the GIGABYTE GA-Z77-HD4 from newegg for only $130 + shipping. Good solid board, 4 memory slots for additional memory for when your doing your video editing & After Effects work.

Then you are probably looking for something like this Motherboard w/ 3rd Gen Core i7-3555LE Item Code...

In your motherboard suite you should have something known as an "ASUS EPU"Have you tried installing this and using it. It's works really well in most cases. You should give this a try.
