I appreciate your efforts, and, you're right that we can't always review every thread. I'd rather a little "overkill" than not enough info. Thanks

Another question has come up. The Maximus IX Code only has one USB 2.0 header. Is there a card or something to add another? I'm using an older case without the 3.0 on the front. Suggestions would be...

It was running pretty well with the Asus 670, i7 3770 and 16 gb of Corsair ram. I also have the OCZ ssd. At the time, it was close to top of the line without being sli. I can hardly wait for the new...

Gigabyte finally got back to me, 5 days later, and told me that I could send the board in and they would try to fix it. Since it's 5 years old, I would have pay for it, understandable. I'll stick...

Thanks again

Wow!!! Is this something I can do if temps are too much?? As I said previously, I don't intend to do much, if any, overclocking. Yeah, my age is showing since since I built my first system in the...

OK, this is an old guy, newbie question:
How important is it to delid the i7 7700k???

I forgot to add that, in checking my cart to see the difference in price between the 7700 & 770k, I actually had the k in my cart!!! So, no increase!! Sometimes, not often, mistakes work in our...

I'll keep that in mind. I have no intention of overclocking at all, but if I get bitten by the bug, I'll change the cooler. Any suggestions??

Is there a particular reason not to reuse the current CPU cooler? I'm currently running, well, until the MB rolled over & died, an i7 3770. My "understanding" is that the 3770 actually runs hotter...

i7 7700 with the Cooler Master 212. The cooler is from my old setup so if you think that's not good enough, please let me know. I'm also planning on re-using my Cooler Master HAF case with its 850...

This is the one I'm looking at

Is it worth the difference??

It's more money than what I was looking at: Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4-24000)

I'm trying to decide whether to buy the Code or the Hero. It's a difference of about $75. on Amazon. The stuff I read said the Hero's SATA ports would only support the data drives (HDD or SDD) not...

Thanks

Thanks. That conflicts with the literature, but I'll take real world experience over dry specs anytime.

Question about Hero v. Code. In my reading, it appears the Hero's sata ports will only support data drives, not ATAPI drives. Any ideas?

I'm replacing my mb. I'm going from a Gigabyte ga-Z77X-UD5H to either a Asus Maximus IX Hero or Code. Can anyone tell me the real differences between the Code & the Hero. I've been through all the...

OK, update: cleared CMOS, nothing. I decided to pull the new and put back the old. It works. Flashed the BIOS and now it doesn't recognize my ssd so I'm really dead. It won't boot into anything. I'm...

Yeah, it's a five year old board. They don't have phone support. They actually didn't when it was new. Again, why I chose Asus.

You wouldn't think they would make it hard, but Gigabyte's web site is confusing. That's a good part of the reason I bought the Asus card. Thanks & I'll keep you posted (pun intended).

I haven't yet, its next on my to do list. Gigabyte doesn't make it very easy to get a bios update. I'm going to keep looking. I think what bothers me is that the build has been bulletproof for almost...
