    Z87 MPower MSI, correct port speed?

    I have a GTX680 and the port is reporting X8 2.5 GT/s is that the correct speed? I also have 2 OCZ PCIe SSD drives and one of them is reporting X4 5.0 GT/s and the second is at X4 2.5 GT/s. This seems a bit off to me, is this also right? All 3 cards are plugged into the X16 slots.

    So my computer won't turn on this morning

    I press the power button and nothing, when I look at the motherboard I see a green LED that is faintly flickering. Is it possible the PS gave out or would it be the mobo? The system is about 3 years old and I havent had any issues until now. If it is the mobo I guess I will have to replace...

    Is FSB overclocking the same as using multipliers?

    abit ip35 pro, e8400 CPU. I wasn't sure how to OC the CPU so I increased the FSB to 400 which made the CPU 3.6ghz. But at post it still shows cpu at 3.0ghz and in windows it shows "E8400 @ 3.00GHz 3.60GHz". Is this overclocked and am I doing it the right way?
