My keyboard isn't working in my bios (meaning I can't even get into it) It definitely did work before, it still works fine in windows except it doesn't work on the windows error recovery screen either (where it asks if you would like to boot in safe mode because it was incorrectly shut down) I did try other USB ports and If I put in an old ps2 keyboard it does work.

Anyone know why?

Yep, it is enabled and all the other USB things are enabled too.

If I unplug it and plug it back in on the windows error recovery screen it does work.. I forgot to check if that works in the bios too but it probably does.

You should be good to go, furthermore, a dedicated HW raid card can be very beneficial compared to the onboard... depending on the quality of Raid card.

Maybe post a warning about that particular USB hub that gave your computer fits.

+1 for them being very solid overclockers. The only one in this family that is at a disadvantage IMO, is the 970a-D3. A lot more restricted in its ability to overclock thanks to the downgrade in the VRM department.

On a side note, regarding the 990XA-UD3, is anyone having good luck with firmware F11? So far, it has been decent for me, still stress testing after my update. Though, I have noticed my vDIMM seems a little more spiky at times. 1.675v BIOS / 1.680v Windows was the old norm, now it rarely jumps up to 1.705v (AIDA64) sometimes with Prime95 running.

Bought the 1st one un-lit to see what I thought of Mech Keyboards after seeing all the nerds rave about them here in OCN. Wow! OK I get it now. You do gain an accuracy because the mind knows when...

Also, the cooling block was pretty flat. I'm a machinist on occasion and "pretty flat" isn't easy. I wet sand CPUs and coolers on glass; this cooler took 1/4 of the time the i7-2600k required to...

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...

Overall, I'd recommend passing on buying this unless you're at the store and it's the cheapest one you like. I'm more impressed by the quality of the generic Apex TX521 that Tiger Direct likes to...

Picked these up for my TRON Legacy theme build. Got the optional light bar upgrade kit(s). Note, for a quad channel package you will need two light bar kits as each covers two sticks. No issues...
