First time build check, with some questions

After much back & forth, I’m about to take the plunge and do my own build. It seems similar to many others here have done, and is pretty close to the VideoGuys DIY build, but it’s my first time and I do have a few questions, so I thought I’d post and get comments. Here are my specs:
Antec Twelve Hundred V3 Black Steel ATX Full Tower Unbeatable Gaming Case
ASUS P9X79 PRO LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with USB BIOS
Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80619i73930K
EVGA 04G-P4-2673-KR GeForce GTX 670 Superclocked+ w/Backplate 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (CMPSU-850AX) 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular PSU
Intel BXRTS2011LC Liquid-cooled Thermal Solution For the LGA2011 Socket
VANTEC 2+1 FireWire 800/400 PCIe Combo Host Card Model UGT-FW210 (Ti chipset)
1 Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drives (media drive)
1 Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA 3.0 (Boot drive)
1 Hitachi 7200rpm 1 TB SATA 3.0 (renders and exports)
64 GBof Crucial RAM - 8GB 240-pin DIMM DDR3 PC3-12800
• CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V • 1024Meg x 64 •
I plan on overclocking using the ASUS auto overclock feature. From what I’ve read 4.3 seems to be a reliable speed to shoot for. The videos I’ve watched on the auto overclocking with the UEFI interface look straightforward.
I’m going to use the 670 to power 2 editing monitors via DVI, and an ASUS P24A6 via HDMI as a client monitor.
For the foreseeable future, I’ll be editing AVCHD footage. Don’t do much motion gfx work, mainly cuts & dissolves, with a fair amount of color correction & grading applied. How does this system look to do with this configuration with this workflow?
Also, any feedback on cooling appreciated. It looks like the Noctura has some compatibility issues with this board fully populated with Crucial RAM, so I’m going with the Intel liquid cooler, which looks easy to install and was recommended by ADK. With this case and this cooler, will I be good or is there any other type of cooling I should add to cool the RAM or the PSU?
Anything else I’m missing? Thanks much to all who post here. Special thanks to ADK, their participation here is invaluable and the advice they gave me was much appreciated. Were this system my main source of income, I’d buy from them for sure.

Stu,
Looks like you have done a lot of work for this to be your first pass here as a build list; there is a lot more that looks right than wrong.
Regarding how is this system for your workflow? This PC would certainly do what you want it to do.
Regarding cooling, RAM and PSU will be fine.
Regarding is anything missing, yes a Blu-ray burner.
You did not state whether you want to A) build this and leave it alone for years, or B) make some upgrades in the future. If B), I only have a suggestion for your RAM choice. If A), I do have some suggested tweaks to how you spend your budget for this build.
You've heard it here before, but it is so true that Adobe has mastered the ability to tax just about all of your PC components (cpu, RAM, bus, drives, and video card) with Premiere Pro CS5 and above in order to make HD editing fast and fun. This makes balance important and in some ways a system is only as strong as its weakest link.
Your current plans strike me as:
CPU = A+, RAM = A+++ on paper, but possibly a bad idea, Drives = B-, GPU = A-.
My only strong suggestion is to go for 32GB of 1600 RAM. You want to do a moderately strong OC on the CPU and the memory controller of the 3930k is not strong enough to pull this off.
Minor suggestions: A) more drives - go for at least one 2x1TB RAID 0 array for media, projects, and scratch (adding one more drive). B) SSD for boot - for spending as much as you are here, I think your build deserves a 128GB SSD for the boot/OS drive - no this will not help after Premiere Pro has started and you are editing, but it will make the PC faster for lots of other things that most users do.
Regards,
Jim

Are you getting a beeps at all?
Beeps can be de-coded at the BIOS manufactures website and should lead you to the problem.
Next I'd start working back removing the more essential items... start with CD-ROMs, DVD drives and floppy drives then HDD, then RAM.
All cables need to be double and triple checked for securness. Poorly seated video card is a common culprit.
Final possibility is you may have a faulty or have fried your cpu... I did once.
Hey thats not bad of an idea maybe it will work and our systems are almost the same hehe so i guess ill try it. =P

It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.

Bios - The basic building tips mentions going into bios before loading Windows. Have not changed much in my bios except boot order. My Seagate Sata 160gb was detected fine as was everything else except a cd drive where the cable had pulled out on the MOB.
Should I change other settings in the bios before installing Windows or later. And if so which are the key settings to change and how do I work out what to change them to? (I am a bit green on bios) I looked at the link breaking through the bios barrier but other than reading every single item... Not sure where to start.
I also flashed the bios to the latest version - should I have done this? Or waited till later?
Windows I am using quite old versions of Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server. In both cases including before flashing the bios the setup of devices phase seems to freeze, the blue bar does not move. If I reboot setup quickly moves to where it left off, moves a bit further then freezes again. If I repeat reboot about 4 or 5 times I eventually get Windows working OK.
But the last time I did this I installed Windows 2000 Server over the top of Windows 2000 Pro. Not sure this was a good idea as the MSI drivers won't load. The install program opens and does not seem to do anything.
I am inclined to format the os area of the drive and install Windows again. One of my colleagues suggested that using Windows XP Professional might resolve the problem of Windows 2000 appearing to hang when installing.
Reference material I have read a couple of Build Your Own books before starting this build but found they were a bit light on detail and out of date. There is a lot of helpful information on the Interet but I think I could do with something which would improve my knowledge. Would the latest edition of Upgrading and Repairing PCs by Scott Mueller be a good choice? How well does it cover bios for example which I understand only superficially or would I be better (poorer financially) buying individual books on different subjects e.g. "Breaking through the Bios barrier" by Adrian Wong.
I don't plan to build PC's on a regular basis but would like to understand more than I do at present.

Thanks for all the replies.
I will take the advice on bios and leave well alone at this stage.
Will reformat tonight and install Windows XP and see how it goes.
Couple of immediate questions. On my current PC I have 4 different boots but only really use one. My current PC has Windows 2000 Pro with 2gb, 20 gb for apps and the balance of the 80 gb drive for data. Also an 8gb drive which I hardly ever use.
Current plan on my new PC is to initially use the 160gb SATA as 20 gb combined partition for OS and apps and the balance for data. Or are there really benefits for keeping the operating system separate from apps? Using Partititon Magic fast to set up although currently it is only seeing 132 GB although the bios is correctly reporting 160GB. Presumably this is something I need to adjust in Windows once fully installed.
My 80gb drive has IBM ontrack overlay software. I managed to transfer everything to the new drive using PcAnywhere via the router. Which was great as the first time I have got two machines to talk to each other via the ADSL Router. (This was a great relief as I could not PcAnywhere to work via a serial cable!)
My inital intention was to use the 80GB as the OS / Apps drive but based on the other problems I have had, now decided to build and use the system based on a single 160 SATA drive first then when I am sure it is stable go to plan B with using the 80GB IDE drive as the Windows and Apps drive. I then need to reformat the 80GB drive as it currently has IBM Ontrack overlay software because my previous PC bios could not see 80GB otherwise. Considering at that stage installing Windows 64 bit beta on the 160GB drive.
I don't think I need Raid at this stage although I have a little bit of experience as my SQL Server has two Raid drives (0?) plus a hot swop drive stored in our fire proof safe.
I use AVG free antivirus and have the latest version ready to install.
Regarding firewall - confused as to what is required. Was under the impression that my ADSL Router has a hardware firewall. Also the motherboard has a firewall as well doesn't it? Do I also need a software firewall? There is a free one recommended on the AVG (Grisoft site)
By the way. I was a bit apprehensive when doing the build and took hours over it being very careful to read and follow the steps in motherboard, CPU and case (Antec Sonata) manuals step by step - a very slow process. All the cables in the case looked very intimidating at first.
The whole thing is extremely straightforward and towards the end everything became very logical. All the parts I used seem extremely well designed and easy to use. The only part where I had doubts was pushing down the plastic lever on the AMD retail heat sink. I wondered whether I had understood it correctly and whether it was going to snap.

Potential new T61 user with some questions about product/support/etc.

Hi all!
I've been using Dell Latitude's for last 7+ years and been happy with them thus far, as I was able to stay within the C-series thru 3 systems and reuse some components such as batteries, CD-ROM, etc. but now that I'd have to go to D-series, that gives me the choice of going to new vendor...and IBM/Lenovo was the only other choice due to my OS requirement: XP Pro!
So now I'm here asking some questions that I'm still having issues with:
(I'm comparing the T61 to Dell D530 and/or my C610)
1) Features that I've used on existing Dell that I don't see on T61 :
    a) Infared port --- I've used to transfer stuff from one sys to another
    b) S-Video out --- I've used to display on TV for some situations
    c) Serial port --- can't recall using it but with my luck, I'd need it sometime.
    d) Parallel port (C610) --- for my really old printer used on rare occasions
    e) Floppy drive --- yes, I still use it for some unusual situations
2) On Dell, I can put a 2nd battery or floppy drive in the media bay instead of CD/DVD...what about T61?
3) Support:
    a) Dell forums have 7+ yrs of history and are well used...this forum seems brand new...was there another one before it?
    b) My Dell's have lifetime tech support (ok, so sometimes understanding the folks from India can be an issue) but IBM seems to limit this to life of warranty.
4) Pricing: T61 would be seem to be, at minimum, about $150 more than similar Dell even with current "sales"...I'm having trouble justifying this...
5) Things that I see that T61 has that new Dell D530 doesn't:
   a) built-in mike --- my current Dell has it and I use it now and then so this is a plus!
   b) keyboard light --- nice feature, but couldn't I use a USB one instead if I really needed it?
   c) fingerprint reader --- never used one...how often do people use it?
   d) 2nd card slot for Express cards --- current Dell has two standard slots and I'm using both, though one is wi-fi which C610 didn't have built-in...and other is modem to replace failed built-in...D530 has only one slot, so having 2nd of any type is good.
   e) middle mouse button --- is that what I'm seeing? Or is it something else?
   f) recovery partition --- ok, nice but how much room does it take?
6) Things that D530 has that T61 doesn't:
   a) 4th USB --- I'm used to only 1 now so even 3 would be big step up...
   b) 15" standard screen --- T61 is only a 14.1" screen and that extra bit of size would likely help, but I'm limited on physical dimensions to 13.5" total width (unusual situation) so a 15.4" wide screen isn't possible...I'm looking at SXGA+ in either case to maximize usage.
   c) recovery CD is standard --- so I'm presuming I'd have to create my own here?
That, I think, about does it...so...any users willing to help me decide if a switch is good for me?
Thanks!!!
Update: It seems that phone tech support is only available for warranty period with IBM, whereas with Dell, I can still call for hardware tech help (to diagnose problem at least) for "lifetime" or well past paid period, as I've already done in past...comments?
Update #2: Changed the incorrect "R"s to "T"! Duh!
Message Edited by J_Hallgren on 12-28-2007 07:50 PM
A current Dell Latitute user who was looking to maybe switch...But didn't.

I finally made the switch to Lenovo and the Thinkpad line of notebooks and think this was the best move I have ever made in years! I've spent far too much money maintaining a separate notebook (Dell Latitude L400) several custom built desktops. This December, I sold my desktops, my laptops (I had 2 L400's), and my 20" Aquous LCD TV to finance my Thinkpad T61. It was well worth it! I will try to answer your questions in this checklist, which I found to be quite similar to my own .... frighteningly exactly like my own....:
Hardware Requirements
IR: This is pretty outdated but functional. I used to use a Palm with IR as well as an IR laser printer. I ditched both for a PDA phone with bluetooth. The laser printer is networked now
S-Video: You might be able to get away with a TV tuner cardbus or a expres card. There might also be external converters that convert from your VGA/DVI (DVI via port replicator) into any variety of video outputs.
Serial: My older Palm had a serial port for the docking station - bluetooth is a good replacement
Parallel port: I currently have a USB to parallel adapter in my bag just in case. These are cheap cables and work well.
Floppy: I keep a USB one of these just in case. I find that having fewer input devices on my laptop and leaving them external help keep the machine lighter for my mostly mobile usage (e.g., my L400 with no inputs at all except 1 USB port).
T61 Spare Battery: Uses ultrabay battery - I rarely use the DVDRW drive and leave the ultrabay battery in there while on the go. DVDRW drive stays in the bag until needed. I recommend you upgrade to the 9 cell battery with the advanced ultra bay battery, which will give u something like 9 to 12 hours of operating life. If you are not a fan of the battery pack sticking out like crazy, stick to the letter box format laptop (not widescreen), which will provide the minimum amount of battery pack stick-out with the 9 cell battery. The 6 cell will not stick out with the letterbox laptop but will stick out with the widescreen version.
Support Options: I rarely call support so I have no opinion here.
Pricing: Price was not really a concern for me. I purchased mine for the business look mainly, which Lenovo maintained well. I don't like the shiny/plastic/toy look of Dell and Apple computers these days. If anything, consider the premium an investment in the build quality of these machines (or a premium just for the good looks). I particularly like the roll cage as well as active protection system that stops the hard drive as soon as the system detects excessive motion.
Included Hardware Comparison:
I like the mic, use it often for Skype and the built in 1.3MP webcam as well.
Keyboard light.... kinda cute but not as functional because it simply is too small. It was a cute idea that could have been made better had Lenovo opted for a backlit keyboard instead. That would have been more functional and added to the "cool" factor.
With regards to the Express Card and PCMCIA card slot, I rarely use either because everything is built in. However, if you want that TV tuner, an express card or PCMCIA card slot is good. If you opt for the built in media reader, you will be unable to use the express card as the media reader takes up that slot (I might be wrong, but I think the card reader is large enough that it takes up both slots, so u can't add anything anyway - but you should call pre-sales to answer that question).
Middle mouse button: The three buttons in the middle are used for the trackpoint/joystick mouse controller. I think the middle button is configurable to do various things. I personally hate the joystick and can only use the touchpad. The lack of a touchpad was the only reason I did not stick to the smaller 12.1" X line of laptops, which was really more in tune with my size requirements (too used to using the L400 sized machine).
Recovery Partition: This is a cheap way for manufacturers to make it easy for people to recover their systems in case of crash - without the need for any documentation or disc media. However, it makes it hard for people like me who only use machines after a clean format and customized install of Windows. This partition is about 10GB and can be erased with special disk format or partition tools. Windows itself cannot read or delete this partition. With the minimum size of the hard drives available, this should not be an excessive space killer for most people. I personally need only 7GB total for OS and apps. The remaining data I work with is actually streamed from a 500GB gigabit NAS. I might switch to a 32GB solid state disk one of these days when their performance comes more in par or exceeds traditional drives.
Recovery CD: You can create your own from the recovery partition since Lenovo does not provide any.
4th USB: I only use 1 or 2 as well. 1 for an external micro mouse (I love my touchpad, but it's just hard to use with Photoshop or CAD apps) and a second for a USB memory key. My other devices i.e., scanner, external mouse, keyboard, are plugged in on my desktop through a USB hub that goes to a single port on my docking station. So yes, your docking station will probably remove the need for more than 2 ports. Although, I do find it odd there are only 3 ports... such an odd number.
Screen Size: I personally wish I could have gotten the X series of laptops but the 14.1 was the only other mobile solution. For the larger screen size, docking station to my 24" Dell 2405FP. The compact nature of the T series makes it pretty thin and compact though... it was not too much bigger than my L400 - at least, not uncomfortably bigger.
But yeah, I think if you make the switch, you'll be getting yourself a solid machine that will keep u going for years. The Latitude line of Dell's were really good, but overall, I feel that the nature of Dell's manufacturing process is making it too "cookie cutter" and reducing its overall quality level. Their earlier lines were awesome, like the D lines you mentioned. But unless you get the ATG line, you just won't get the same level of quality they used to offer (in addition, the ATG line is wickedly too expensive - I'd rather get a Durabook for military grade spec at a fraction of the price).
Anyway, have fun shopping! :-)
And moderators or employees of Lenovo, don't you guys get referral bonuses for giving your employee discount code to friends and family? *wink*

Doing a first time machine backup with OS X 10.8.3. Taking For Ever. Have a 24g flash drive and only 21 g to back up. What to do?

This is a brand new MacBook Pro. This would be the first time machine backup being done on it. Is that why it is too slow?

Note that a 24 GB flash drive is completely inadequate to use effectively with Time Machine. It will probably run out of space very quickly. You want at least 2-3 times more space on your backup drive than what you are backing up. Or you want to choose some other backup app that does not do incremental backups.
Get yourself a good hard drive. 200 GB would be cheap and would give you more than enough space to store many months (maybe years) of backups, unless what is being backed up grows significantly.

Please help me with some questions with batch input session?

hello everyone.
I come to some questions like
1 What is a batch input session ,
2 What is the alternative to batch input session?
3 An ABAP program creates a batch input session.   We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it?
   would you please help me with the questions, couldn't thank you more.
   Best regards
                                                                      Frank

Hi
Batch Input Session:
BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table
and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session
ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program
name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
Three processing modes of executing Batch Input Session :-
Run Visibly : You can correct faulty transactions online & work step-by-step through the transactions not yet executed.
Display Errors only : You can correct faulty transactions online.   Transactions not yet executed, but without error, run in the background.
Run in Background .
2) What is the alternative to batch input session?
Call transaction.
3) An ABAP program creates a batch input session. We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it?
go to SM36 and create background job by giving
     job name,job class and job steps (JOB SCHEDULING)

HELP NEEDED WITH SOME QUESTIONS

Could ye guys help, I have some questions and I dont know the answers of them! any solutions would be great
Distinguish between composition and inheritance as used in object-oriented programming. As part of your answer, provide examples of different situations in which each would be more appropriate.
What is meant by recursion as an algorithmic strategy in working with abstract data structures, and why is such an approach considered worthwhile? Illustrate your answer with an example sorting algorithm in Java that can be sorted linearly and recursively.
Given an alphabet of {x,y,z} possessing the following frequency distributions {1/8, 1/4, 5/8}, show how this information may be used to construct a prefix code binary tree. Given the code 11000111100, show how this is decoded using this construct.
Any ideas??

If you can't do more than post your assignment and cry for help then you might as well give up now. Nobody is going to do your work for you. You have done NOTHING yet so start working on it and if you run into problems come back with your code and ask questions about it.

First time install probs with sata raid drive using k7n2g ilsr

hi all!!!
this is the first time i have tried 2 use a sata raid hdd. i dont use a raid drive for my c:, the raid drive is just extra space.
first i formated my pc. i installed the raid drivers, then xp. my pc worked fine. but then after a week it was time 2 try plug the drive in.
when i got my k7n2g ilsr motherboard i di not get a manual. so with the raid drivers installed, i just pluged in the raid drive. the drive seemed fine.... i formatted it and put a couple of games on. but after an hours usage the games would crash (high pitched tone instead of the audio, then full freeze).
i have tried putting these games back on my original drive and they work fine......
anyway....

I just used itunes for the first time in years with an old id number. It says my computer isnt authorized. The old computer i used is gone now. junked. There is no option to authorize this one. What do I do. Very frustrated

Itunes is saying that my computer isn't authorized. Its the first time ive used my id since 2010 and the computer I had then is junked. Now I have a hp laptop and I can;t authorize this computer. I can't use anything I buy. What do I do?

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

First time linking from FCP. Question regarding normalizing.

Hello,
I am linking from FCP for the first time. I would like to normalize a number of clips of dialogue. I can do it clip by clip, but when I select a series of clips at the same time, the Normalize feature is grayed (inaccessible). Is there a way to normalize multiple clips at the same time?
Thanks.
DG

Even if you could normalize all the clips at once, I don't think you would want to. If they could all be normalized together, you would be normalizing based on the highest peak on one of the audio clips, which would raise or lower all of the audio levels inconsistently. That is unless all of the audio is near identical.

First time build check, with some questions
