    Lian-Li PC-X2000F Case

    Will appreciate thoughts on the build I'm working on. I'm putting together a system with the i7 3930k processor. I'd like to use the Corsair H80 liquid cooler. I purchased the PNY GTX 580 video card with liquid cooling. Any thoughts on making these two 120 mm mounts work in the...

    LianLi PC-S80 vs PC-S80A

    I have not been able to distinguish whether the PC-S80 Silver and the PC-S80A are the same model or if the S80A is a revised model. Can anyone shed any light on this? I ordered an S80A and received an S80 Silver. Is it the same thing? Thanks!

    Maxtor 10k IV startup noise

    I just added a pair of Maxtor 10k IV 37 GB drives to my system which previously had only a Seagate 15K 37 GB drive. The Maxtors BOTH make a nasty startup racket. Anyone have any experience with these drives? I'd like to know if the noise is normal. Thanks!

    A7N8X and "g" bios and cpu detection

    I just finished assembling my new system as noted below. The A7N8X deluxe came with the "g" bios installed. The system posted just fine, but the bios identified my XP 2700+ as a 1300 MHz cpu. And it autoset the FSB to 100MHz despite the fact that the board was jumpered correctly for the...

    New XP installation and missing hard drive

    I just finished assembling a new system for home use and installed Win XP on a bare drive. Windows detected and formatted the drive for me. But, I may have missed something in a blur of "next" responses, but I didn't see it offer to format my second drive. There are two WD JB1200's in the box...

    Installing XP upgrade to a bare drive & ownership requirements

    I intend to install the Windows XP Professional Upgrade to a bare drive. I understand that the Windows 98SE disc will allow me to verify eligibility. Can anyone tell me from personal experience whether the 98SE upgrade disc will be sufficient. I only own upgrade versions since Windows 3.11...

    A7N8X Deluxe and populating all 3 memory banks

    Has anyone tried populating all 3 memory banks on the A7N8X Deluxe board? I know the Anand review article says it works fine, but I'm concerned that the board may have been as "special" as the bios that was used. Thanks
