    ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 persistent CPU_LED, no POST

    Ha ha, thanks Guess I'll take the hint and count it as a loss. I've got that extra 1155 board already, so the 2700k won't go to waste, it just isn't nearly as filled out in terms of features. Thanks all. I just haven't had luck with ASUS boards

    I've pulled the board from the case, but it persists. Like you, I hoped it was just something shorting out

    ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 persistent CPU_LED, no POST

    people here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/299757-30-asus-p8z68-boot-error were having a similar issue; an asus rep recommended filling the slot furthest from the socket. But you're right, that isn't exactly the same board and the slot closest is a1. Thanks! I'll try that out

    ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 persistent CPU_LED, no POST

    I've been running this board as a media server for the past 3 or so years. A couple months ago the CPU_LED came on with no graphics on the display. I had the configuration modestly overclocked to 4ghz, and resetting bios settings (disconnecting power, removing the battery, moving the clrtc...

    *Really DEAD* Metro 2033 - FREE (Steam activatable / Digital DL)

    Well, I guess this led to a bunch of people to sell them cheap on ebay. Got one for $2.50. I'm happy.

    Will SB mean a significant drop in current processor prices?

    So, does anyone think 1366 motherboards will drop in price at all? I really don't think so, as SB is meant to replace 1156, but some people do seem to think so. TLDR: should I wait until SB comes out to buy a 1366 mobo?

    Best LGA 1366 motherboard?

    So, sabertooth. Its cheaper, but it also doesn't seem to be recommended nearly as much as the UD3R. Can someone tell me why people prefer the UD3R over it even though they seem so similar? Is it just brand preference? I only plan on taking my i7 to 4.2-4.4, so the increased OC capability doesn't...

    Hi guys. I'll be getting a i7-970 any day now, and have been looking for some RAM to go with it. Just now, I saw this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820178271 Its a PNY tri channel set, CL 8, rated for 1600 Now I haven't kept up much on RAM. I was wondering if this would be a...

    PII X4 920 to i7 970. Worth it?

    Alright. Ordered the processor, skipped on the motherboard for now. Can't buy multiples of the processor bundles I would. Only thing I have available now is a 160gb ssd for $219. Thanks for the input. Guess I will just have to find something else to put on my credit card.

    PII X4 920 to i7 970. Worth it?

    Well I don't think I will be getting that motherboard. Been looking at it and it really doesn't seem like that great a deal. Also just found out you can't pay with a discover card, which was a really big reason I was even considering upgrading as I could get $100 cash back. I'll have to decide...

    Hot? Sears online has Sony Vaio P 64GB SSD Netbooks for $399

    If the processor in your netbook is an Atom, I have doubts that it is dual core. According to this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3882/intel-atom-n550-netbooks they are just starting to use dual core atoms in netbooks, excepting a few unusual models Asus put out Also, this has an SSD, which...

    People on SD were saying that Frys is clearing them out for $20, so its not too far a stretch to think it isn't. I ended up ordering three. Got some old machines, and I can use it to build an HTPC.
