Nothing is mentioned except, "Durable capacitors" on these variations of this mobo. Anybody know if Asus is using Nichicon caps like they mention in the Hero model? I'd rather not have a mobo that has less than stellar caps. "Durable" sounds cheap.

Do the new high power excursion tolerances, associated with ATX 3.0 or PCIe 5.0, only apply when using the 12VHPWR connector or does it also apply to the other PCI-e connectors your gpu may be connected to? If so, then buying any ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 psu is pointless if you're not using the 12VHPWR...
Just installed my 7900XTX a few minutes ago and the latest Adrenaline drivers. What settings should I have enabled for gaming in the software? Is the Anti-lag setting effective w/o negative consequences?
I've only found blocks for reference 7900XTX cards coming soon, but no mention from any manufacturer, that I've found, of plans for water blocks for the XFX 7900XTX MERC310 Black Edition.
Anybody know more than I? The 7900XTX XFX MERC310 Black cards seem to be popular.

7700K was delidded with RockitCool kit and Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra was used to replace the stock TIM.

I'm going to install a new mobo and cpu, What's the best way to transfer my current digital license to the clean install to it? Should I create a Microsoft account to tie my current license to this account somehow?

My current monitor won't display any image, but the indicator light is on. Lights on, but nobody's home. Display and HDMI port the same. User interface adjustments also won't show.
Now I have an excuse to upgrade my monitor. Prefer black blacks, but accurate colors and relatively low input lag...
Considering going back to AMD. Likely a 3900X system and will have to buy another block unless there's an AMD adapter. Is the Heatkiller IV the best performing or close to it?
I can't find an in depth comparison between these two. Anybody know which is the better monitor for gaming and some photo work? Uniformity, VA glow, colors ect. Never had a curved monitor, so not sure how that factors.
My current BenQ has atrocious vertical banding and 70 Hz is the max it will...
I'm a few years behind monitor tech, but still waiting for a monitor that has black levels that are actually black, excellent colors, at least 144hz and no edge light bleed or streaks of varying shades. Need good uniformity.
Does such a 32"--ish monitor exist?
I was considering the 3900X or 3700X, but if the alleged performance is accurate, I may get this instead since the base boost is slightly higher than the 3900X--which may not mean anything since the 3900X rarely oc's to 4.6 if at all.
Thoughts?
I've read reviews showing the 9900K still on top with Adobe photoshop over 3900X, but does that hold true with Paintshop Pro? I can't find any reviews that include PSP. I also use Topaz Denoise.

I'm using an Asus N66U router with an Arris SB6190 cable modem. My modem will randomly reset itself every day. sometimes 3 or 4 times a day and others it may happen every couple of minutes. I tried unplugging both, shutting down the pc ect, but it has no affect.
Here's a screen shot of the log...
My system first started showing low memory errors and web pages started freezing and eventually to a black screen in which I'd have to do a hard reset . All this started after I received an update from Jerkoffsoft.

No Gentle Typhoons in 140mm :( . How do the EK-Vardar EVO fans compare to the discontinued Vardar F2-140?
I need 4 for my Nemesis 560GTX. Quiet. High static pressure in the 500-1500rpm-ish range and aren't crazy expensive.
I'm considering the X71 and the specs surprisingly say it fits up to a 360mm radiator on top. What exactly is preventing the use of a 420mm and is it a simple mod to make it fit?
My smaller Phanteks Enthoo Luxe has a 420mm on top.

After running Realbench Stress Test for just 15 minutes according to Core Temp, Idle Min was 26C and Max temp was 73C. The other 3 cores were within 2 or 3 degrees.

I just installed the XSPC D5 Photon 170 pump/reservoir and it came with a 5mm UV LED/cable to slide up next to the center rod, but it's very dim. Are there any "ultra bright" cabled UV LEDs that actually are ultra bright?
I just took it out of an old case with an Eheim 1048 that still works. I don't remember the model of the block. Early 2000's.
Update: MCW462-U Water Block
I'm currently using a Swiftech H-240X which is ultra quiet and does an ok job. I'm mostly interested in a 3 fan radiator set up for quiet operation and good performance.

Any tips on installing chipset drivers? I ran the .exe, everything appeared to go w/o a hitch, but the driver version is still the old one. Tried manually updating drivers in device manager, but no go Auto/ Manual... Tried safemode, but get an error running the .exe. The ME and audio drivers...
I'm trying to check for the latest drivers for my motherboard, but after I select the operating system nothing happens. The firmware/BIOS tab works and shows all the downloads, but the "Driver and Tools" doesn't do anything after selecting Win 10 64 bit or any other OS for that matter.
Anybody...
Win 10 is a PITA when trying to uninstall drivers and installing new ones. Win 10 constantly reinstalls the old drivers before I can install the new.
Is it no longer necessary to remove the old video card drivers before installing the new drivers in Win 10?
Has there been a "fix" for the erratic fan speeds when simply opening up a web page or other insignificant task? BIOS updates?
I'm currently using Asus Maximus IX HERO/Swiftech 240X on latest BIOS, 906. Thinking of simply getting a drive bay fan controller.
Not oc'ing is not a remedy ;)
Is there a secret to firing your weapons? I just installed the game, selected Easy and can't even get the damn plane to fire it's weapons. Key assignments are good. Are there 12 million steps I need to finish before shooting?
I was hoping Easy meant retard easy. lol
I get the "Wrong size" message when trying to install the latest LAN drivers for my Hero. I'm using Win 10 Pro.
I never saw a "Wrong size" error before.
I came across this from Asus' site https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1031868/
Not sure what TH1 or TH2 is.
Anybody have any tips on what settings to use for maximum performance and stability? I imagine they're the same across the entire Maximus IX series.
Just installed the 7700K and G.Skill TridentZ 3200C14D-16. Haven't attempted to oc yeT.
I'm soon to be trying Win 10 and curious if there's a similar game as IL2 that will work with it. I haven't played IL2 in years, but started gaining interest again. Great game.
Silent Hunter 3 was pretty good too.
Still playing BBC2 and hope it's compatible with Win 10.
Just ordered my upgrade components. All I need now is the best TIM. I'll likely de-lid the 77000K. Is Coollaboratory Liquid PRO the best(corrosive on aluminum?) Will it bond the lid with the core? If so, what is the 2nd best that doesn't lose it's thermal conductivity over time?
I'm on the verge of ordering my components (7700K...) and need help selecting RAM. I read the RAM compatibility on Asus, but curious if there's other RAM that works well with this mobo. I'm looking for a good balance between performance and value. Not sure how the memory controller behaves, so...
