    PC Finally booted - How do I know if it's working right?

    Yep! That's the one. Are there any guides on what I should be doing to double check everything? Most importantly with results that I should be comparing to?

    PC Finally booted - How do I know if it's working right?

    GSkill Trident DDR3-2400s. It's showing as 16gb now. DRAM Freq @1199.8. Says dual channel too!

    PC Finally booted - How do I know if it's working right?

    ASUS Maximus VI Hero. I got the RAM working, I think. I had to enable XMP. My temperatures seem to be at around 40 with my 4770k @ stock with a Noctua NH D14 basically idle. From what I can google, this seems high. I think I might have screwed up the paste.

    PC Finally booted - How do I know if it's working right?

    Any advice on what's wrong and how to fix it? My first PC I have made in 10 years. It booted up first try and haven't had any issues (aside from things not working correctly). Seems like there's definitely a problem with RAM detection, but I'm not sure about the rest...

    Which would you buy? Win 7 or Win 8.1?

    I don't really have any local store I can go to for purchases. Also, I'm not sure if this is against the rules to talk about or not, but is there any downside to purchasing a BizSpark key? If this is not allowed, I will edit it out.

    Which would you buy? Win 7 or Win 8.1?

    I'm just putting together my new PC now. I'd like to try Win8. I should be going for 8.1 Pro, and it will perform approximately the same as Win7 for my gaming needs? Also, I haven't bought my copy yet but would like to download it now. Am I able to download it without a key? My bandwidth is...

    $200 MoBos - Any good reviews or opinions?

    Thanks! The first one is great. I read that before, I just really, really wish it has the Maximus VI hero in it too!

    $200 MoBos - Any good reviews or opinions?

    Are there really no good reviews that compare these MoBos? I could find one with some, but missing key ones like the GD6 and VI Hero.

    Thanks guys! I bought it (Gigabyte 780Ti WF3). My first time ever in 15 years getting an nVidia card and my first time ever going with Gigabyte. Now..to pick a MoBo!

    GTX 780 Ti reviews

    Thanks. Last question before I hit the purchase button. There are no 290x non-references out yet, correct? Those should be out later this month? Are they expected to be comparable to this card? I don't really have any brand loyalty but I'd rather not go Radeon. It won't be a big enough...

    GTX 780 Ti reviews

    Thanks! I've done a bunch of googling but come up short =) My guess is there's just none really out there yet that compare them all?

    GTX 780 Ti reviews

    Just read the review given to me which pretty much convinced me to just pull the trigger. I see it comparing to other setups but why is it not compared at all to any other 780 Ti cards?

    GTX 780 Ti reviews

    Thanks. I can definitely wait a little longer. I am just worried the price will rise (for some reason this card is the exact same price in Canada as the States, something that never happens). I really want to try out NVidia since I had such a bad experience with my XFX 5970. I guess I...
