It's the PCI-E connection speed. It's x8 when my Asus GTX 580 is connected, and I believe the GTX 670 should be x16. With nothing in the slot the BIOS states 'Not present' but when the GTX 670 is inserted it states 'x0', so it must be...

That's what I thought - that it should be automatic. I know my motherboard's BIOS is up to date, as there was a new release on 9th January and I flashed that just last week. Am now thinking it must be the card, especially as the fans...

This may be a dumb question, but I've got a graphics card to test and I want to make sure it works. My current setup is an Asus P8Z77-V Pro motherboard, Intel i7 2600k CPU and an Asus GTX 580 1.5gb graphics card. The card I'd like to...

Okay, so this is interesting - this problem doesn't occur with my laptop. I tried connecting the GoFlex Desk to my laptop - the hard drive was plugged into the mains, the USB cable was just loose on my desk and hadn't been plugged into...

I've got a few different external hard drives - two are portable (as in USB powered) and as such are often moved between my two computers, or taken to work, etc. and back. My third is a mains powered external hard drive, a 2tb USB 3.0...

Thought so, but thanks for confirming it! I've got a 2600k and 1600 RAM. Never done any overclocking before, but want to get into it with this CPU, just waiting for a new case and cooler before I start.

My motherboard is currently an Asus P8Z68-V PRO, which I've been generally happy with, but I'm looking to upgrade. If I was to get a new motherboard, which direction should I go in and what make/model would anyone here recommend? I'm...

I'm thinking about getting one of these cases, but I promised myself I wouldn't get another case with a door, because my last case had a door and it annoyed me no end - I usually have my DVD burning software set to eject the drive tray...
