"Warning": Noctua NH-C14 and Asus P8Z68 Deluxe

A little warning. The cooler is so big that you cant use both fans on it with the memory mentioned below in all slots. You must remove the lower fan and cant get full effect of the cooler. Idle I am still at 36C so it is good. Have not stresset it yet, have to install my programs first.
If the memory had been lower it might have worked out or my not using all memory slots. I use all therefore it became to tight.

Hi,
It seems I need only one fan anyway. I finally got to test my setup yesterday and installed a chess program that runs my processor at 100%. I run it at 100% for 10-15 minutes and it was at 61C at maximum. Idle it is 36C. I am pleased with that.
The cpu fan stays at about 1200 RPM all the time, but when it gets hot the cabinett fans increases from 1100 to 14-1500 rpm.

Conflict with SoundBlaster Live! and Asus A8V Deluxe onboard au

Hi,
I have just upgraded my motherboard to an Asus A8V Deluxe. On my old board, I used to use two sound devices at once. One was the onboard sound and the other was a PCI Sound Blaster Li've card.
On the new board, I have the Realtek onboard sound enabled in BIOS. This works fine on its own, but when I put the Sound Blaster Li've in, Windows no longer displays the Realtek in the device manager. Instead I just get the Sound Blaster. So its like the motherboard doesnt like two cards at once.
I would like to get the onboard sound working as I use it most days for internet telephony through a headset while my PCI card is used for music / games etc through the loudspeakers.
Thanks in advance.
Will

<i have that mobo in my other pc and i could never get the onboard sound to work with the augy2 zs at all. it would never show up in device manager when ever i had the augy2 installed. i did talk to a ASUS tech and they told me that you cant run the onboard with a sound card at all. it is automatically disabled vie mobo. some how? he realy didnt go into details about it. but yeah i ended using 2 sound cards on that pc the augy2 zs and a li've 5. 24 bit so i could have my teamspeak usin the 5. and everything else used the augy2. and even now with this new pc i built i cant use the onbaord sound with a sound card. even tho i could use it for a bit tho. it would ened up crashing an the blue screen of death would also happen when i did. so i to now use a usb headset that is for playstation2 since it has its own sound device built in it. but sorry for no good news for ya tho. but other then that , that mobo is a good one tho, the A8V deluxe.

NX6200-TD256 and ASUS A7N8X Deluxe MB

Machine Specs:
Athlon XP 2400+
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe MB
1GB Geil Memory PC4200 (I think might be bit slower 512x2)
Old Video Card MSI Ti4200 (64MB)
Running WINXP SP2
CDRW and DVD-Burner
Couple of ATA133 HDD
19" Acer LCD (DVI)
Fairly simple setup!
I just bought what seems to be an AWESOME video card and got all excited and pulled my old MSI Ti4200-64MB card, istalled the NX-6200-TD256 and fired up the machine and NOTHING - nada - no beeps - nothing - seems like the hard drives were firing but nothing on screen. I plugged in reg VGA and DVI cables - still nothing (rebooting machine each time). I said hmmm... maybe something in the BIOS or I MAY have shorted something (highly doubt it) - put the old card in and it fires right up!! So I say hmmm... let's look at the BIOS and see - changed primary video to AGP and 8X is enabled and changed the AGP mem from 64 to 256 (don't know what this option does but did it). Saved and shut down PC - replace card - still nothing - no beeps - nothing - system "feels" like it is booting but nothing on screen. Also no initial "BEEP" as it posts (I get that with the Ti4200 but not with the 6200).
No here are my questions!:
1. Is there a known compatibilty issues with the Asus board?
2. Is there something I missed doing or am I missing a step?
3. Could this card just be DOA?
Any suggestion, thoughts, ideas would be welcome!! I am trying to avoid shipping the card back to get a replace if I am the idiot and am making a mistake!

OK - got a NEW card as a replacement and still the same results!! Aaaaargh!!
Ok here are some details in my BIOS that *MIGHT* be throwing things off.
I have these setting:
AGP Fast Write [ENABLED]
8X Support [ENABLED]
AGP Frequency [AUTO]
Graphics Apecture Size = [64MB] --> Setup for old card (I can change it to 256MB for new card)
AGP Speed Spectrum = [DISABLED] --> Choices 0.50%
These might be more of what I need to change but I don't know what I should try.
VDDQ Voltage = 1.5V --> Choices are 1.5V, 1.6V, 1.7V
DR Reference Voltage = 2.6V --> Choices are 2.6V, 2.7V, 2.8V
Please ANY Ideas!!!

Audigy 2 ZS on Asus P5B DELUXE WIFI

Hi,?Recentrly i bought a Asus p5b deluxe wifi, and i want to install my sound blaster audigy 2 zs. When i inserted the driver cd in to install the driveres, some error messagem appeared saying that any audigy 2 zs was intalled in my computer. I?ve changed the audigy to another pci slot, and the error still appears. Could you help me with this?Sorry my english, im from Portugal. Thanks.

I put the sound card in the pci slot. Then i turn on the computer. Windows detects the sound card. I put the cd driver,and then, when i start the instalacion it appears something like this " Setup error , it was not detected any audigy 2 sound card in the computer, and the installation will quit". Yes i disable the on board sound card in the BIOS. When i try to install by the device manager, it installs the WDM driver, and nothing more. The firewire and game port are not installed. And appears this in the device manager " SM .....controller " (i dont know the word in the middle) followed by device error icon (that yellow one).

ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3: bluetooth

Hello,
The ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 motherboard for desktop PC's has bluetooth on it.
However, I tried to follow steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth, such as:
-installing bluez with pacman
-starting dbus and bluetooth daemon
-installing bluedevil for KDE
But in KDE in the bluetooth system settings, it says: No Bluetooth adapters have been found.
So it's as if Archlinux ignores the existance of this bluetooth thing on my motherboard (even though it's really there and giving off some blue light on the back of my PC).
Any idea how I can get this to work? I'd like to try it out to transfer photos from my phone to my PC, because both MTP and PTP are also totally not working
Thanks!

While I'm waiting to hear results of Eric testing the Z68-V Pro, I am curious to know what the Z68 offers over the P67. After reading the review descriptions, the main difference I see is the onboard graphics (DVI/VGA and HDMI ports) on the back. WHat is their purpose if using a separate graphics card? Am I missing something?
I have the P8P67 Pro in my hands now, and going to pick up the i7 2600k processor. I would rather have this thing put together today, but waiting on those results.
Please don't take this as rushing your testing - just wondering what is worth the mere $30 difference in price

Crucial M500 1TB in Asus z97 deluxe

Hi, i cannot get this SSD drive to show up in the bios on my asus z97 Deluxe motherboard, can anyone help me with this please?? Thanks

Hi Damian666,
First of all I would like to say sorry that you can't get your system to see your M500 SSD.
Can you confirm how you have the SSD connected to your system? For example is it connected internally through SATA or externally through a USB connection?
If you are connecting the drive internally can you please try a different SATA slot and a different SATA cable. This is the best way to check and see if it's down to something other than the drive itself.
It is also worth checking to see if you can see the SSD in Windows disk management. Please follow these steps to make sure the drive is initialized in your system. http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Crucial-SSDs/How-to-initialize-your-SSD-Windows/ta-p/111492
Please let me know how it goes and if you do have any other questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask and we would be more than happy to help.

MSI GTX 680 Lightning compatibility with Windows 64/ Asus P6T Deluxe MB

I purchased a GTX 680 Lightning on Dec. 16. I've been having random PC lockups and Driver hangs/restarts. Here's what I have done so far to try and remedy the problem:
-started with MSI Afterburner version 2.2.5 BETA and Nvidia ( MSI provided ) drivers 301.42, and standard bios .
-upgraded to various newer versions of NVidia drivers, BETA and WHQL. Usually the newer drivers become even more unstable.
-Upgraded to Afterburner 2.3
-I had the original bios versions first shipped with the card, I have since updated the BIOS:
from 80.04.09.00.F7 --> 80.04.28.00.39
from 80.04.09.00.F8 --> 80.04.28.00.3A ( LN2 )
-NVidia control panel settings left at default, with Global/all profiles set to "prefer maximum performance".
-I originally had a GTX295 installed, so all drivers etc. were fully removed, followed by clean install of 301.40
-Afterburner 2.3.0 is installed, Core voltage is set to +12mv, and the power limit is set to 178%
-memtest run for hours on my memory, zero faults.
-furmark run for hours, no crashes
-3dmark run repeatedly with varying overclock settings in Afterburner, no crashes
The updated LN2 BIOS seems to be sllightly more stable, but I still see random crashes when running Windows media player, VLC Player, Internet Explorer. Its definately a problem between windows multimedia and the Nvidia drivers. I can play Skyrim maxxed out, for hours, yet when I first login to the computer and run IE, it sometimes locks up.
I've had the driver stop and recover while Afterburner is monitoring on-screen, and sometimes the CPU load will spike to 100% at the crash, yet sometimes it does not. GPU power voltage always sits at 0.987 or 1.212V. matching the power spec expected for the LN2 BIOS.
I've had GPU-Z cause at least 1 lockup, with the screen blanking red. Only 1.
My next step will be to try updated drivers again, now that the bios has been updated. I may also downgrade Afterburner to 2.2.5 BETA.
Does anyone have any other recommendations I can try? Can someone point me to the latest BIOS version for the card ( or can i try that hybrid BIOS now available? )
At what point do I give up and RMA the card?
Card S/N is 602-V283-02SB1206030939
Windows 7 Professional 64
Corsair 12GB mem, matched sticks
69 GB SSD for the OS, a Raptor 320GB disk for the rest
Antec True Power Quattro 1000W power supply
Asus P6T Deluxe MB ( not v2 )
Intel I7 cpu 2.93 Ghz

I'm going on 3 days of stable performance. I made 2 changes:
1) core voltage in MSI afterburner upped to +87mV, power limit at 150%.
2) I have an ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard, and am running the UPU-6 engine. This utility is designed to let the motherboard auto-switch from max power savings -> medium power savings -> max performance ( 100% CPU ) -> turbo mode (O/C CPU ). I had this set on Auto, and I have re-set it manually to max-performance.
I think the EPU-6 engine was the problem, I am waiting for a few more days stability to prove the theory.
EUP-6 will lower your clock speed when idling, and then bump up your performance when you start doing things. In my case I would go from playing a game ( Skyrim) to running IE, and EPU-6 would change modes DOWN. In reverse, I would be doing nothing. then run IE or media player, and EPU-6 would change modes UP. Those state changes are where I think I was getting blackscreens and lockups.
I still don't understand it exactly, I think the combination of my MB changing power/performance AND the GTX680 also changing performce creates some kind of conflict. I have had the Afterburner graph going when the driver crashed, and it shows the GPU power maxing out when the driver crashed. All other graphs bottom out ie. the whole card "hiccups".
So I will put the core voltage back to defaults, and also set the Nvidia display/performance options all back to defaults, and keep the EPUJ-6 engine stuck on max-performance, which is basically leaving the MB running at 100% stock CPU and power. I expect that will prove stable and resolve the problem.
Crossing my fingers.

Asus A7N8X Deluxe vs Ti 4200

Ok.... Just got my upgrade "stuff" in excited as h***! :P
Asus A7N8X Deluxe MB with AMD 2600. Had some issues getting the 2600 to recognize properly, but fixed.
Decided to install XP-pro (vs 98SE) Had a bunch of hardware needed reinstalling with the correct drivers from Asus... fine working!
Now, trying to install the VGA drivers for the G4 Ti4200. But the program won't run.... I try going to the device manager and install drivers, no! Everything I try doesn't work... forcing an install of the driver-no! Deleting the "standard VGA" allowing it to 'resee' it-no! Even tried reinstalling with 98SE... get the same problems.
I noticed that someone had posted that a 300W powersupply wasn't enough... could that be keeping XP-pro/98SE from seeing the card correctly?
HELP ;( almost $600 worth of parts, and I may have to go back to my old Matrox?
James

I advise you to do what I did: return the card to the shop. I have had similar problems with this card and the Asus A7N8X Deluxe MB. It just doesn't work. Don't worry too much about the rubbish you hear about your psu: my shop assured me that 300W = more than enough! Don't listen to other stories such as the brand of your DDR is not good. A card must do it's job. When there are specific requirements such as more than 300W it should be written on the box, or at least in the manual!
Try another brand, think again before you buy not A-brand components. I have learned my sad lesson...

VirtualDisk on Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Pool stuck in "Warning: In Service" state and all file transfers to and from is awfully slow

Greetings,
I'm having some trouble with my Windows Storage Pool and my VirtualDisk running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 installation. It consists of 8x Western Digital RE-4 2TB drives + 2x Western Digital Black Edition 2TB drives and have been configured in a single-disk
parity setup and the virtual disk is running fixed provisioning (max size) and is formatted with ReFS.
It's been running solid for months besides some awful write-speeds at times, it seems like the write performance running ReFS compared to NTFS is not that good.
I was recommended to add SSD's for journalling in order to boost write-performance. Sadly I seemed to screw up this part, you need to due this through PowerShell and it needs to be done before creating the virtualdisk. I managed to add my SSD to the Storage
Pool and then remove it.
This seem to have caused some awkward issues, I'm not quite sure of why as the virtualdisk is "fixed" so adding the SSD to the Storage Pool shouldn't really do anything, right? But after I did this my virtual disk have been stuck in "Warning:
In Service" and it seems to be stuck? It's been 4-5 days and it's still the same and the performance is currently horrible. Moving 40GB of data off the virtual disk took me about 20 hours or so. Launching files under 1mb of the virtual disk takes several
minutes etc.. It's pretty much useless.
The GUI is not providing any useful information about what's going on. What does "Warning: In Service" actually imply? How am I supposed to know how long this is supposed to take? Running Get-Virtualdisk in PowerShell does not provide any useful
information either. I did try to do a repair through the Server Manager GUI but it goes to about 21% within 2-3 hours but drops back down to 10%. I have had the repair running for days but it wont go past 21% without dropping back down again.
Running repair through PowerShell yields the same results, but if I detach the virtual disk and then try to repair through PowerShell (the GUI wont let me do repair on detached virtual disks) it will just run for a split second and then close.
After doing some "Googeling" I've seen people mentioning that the repair is not able to finish unless I have at least the same amount of free space in the Storage Pool as the largest drive in my Storage Pool is housing so I added a 4TB drive as
due to me running fixed provisioning I had used all the space in the pool but the repair is still not able to go past 21%.
As am running "fixed provisioning" I guess adding a extra drive to the pool doesn't do much difference as it's not available for the virtual disk? So I went ahead and deleted 3 TB of data on the virtual disk so now I've got about 4 TB free space
on the virtual disk so there should be plenty of room for Windows Server 2012 R2 to re-build the parity or whatever it's trying to do but it's still the same, the repair wont move past 21% and the virtual disk is still stuck in "Warning: In Service"
mode and the performance keeps being horrible so taking a backup will take forever at these speeds...
Am I missing something here? All the drives in the pool is working fine. I have verified using various bootable tools so why is this happening and what can I do to get the virtual disk running at full state again? Why doesn't the GUI prompt you with any
kind of usable information?
Best regards, Thomas Andre

Hi,
Please run chkdsk /f /r command on the virtual disk to have a try. In the meantime, run the following commands in PowerShell to share the output.
get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> | get-physicaldisk | fl
get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> |fl
Best Regards,
Mandy

I am not good at RAM setting but the 'Timings Table' shows there is XMP-1600 profile available so I believe it would be enough to turn on that memory profile in BIOS.

Remote Desktop Access with Mac and Asus Transformer Prime

I have an E2000 router with the most current firmware. I have a Sony VAio laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit,a Macbook with 10.6.8, and a new Asus Transformer Prime with ICS.My work desktop is a Dell Optiplex 380 with Windows 7 Pro 32bit. I frequently work from home and have no issues remoting into to my work PC from by Sony laptop via VPN and RDP.However I have never been able to connect successfully to my work PC with my Macbook(using Remote Desktop Connection 2.1 for Mac OS) or Asus tablet(using WYSE Pocket Cloud RDP app for Android). I can however connect to the VPN itself on the Macbook and tablet without issue same as my Windows laptop. The other interesting part is I can connect via RDP when I am connected to a Mi-Fi 3g hotspot. So it is definitely something in the my Linksys E2000 blocking the connection for some reason. I have even set Port forwarding of 3389 with the ip's of both the Macbook and Asus tablet.I have also tried connecting via ethernet to the router with the same outcome. I cannot ping my work pc from either device as well.In addition the firewall on my work PC is completely disabled and all services related to Remote desktop access are enabled and running.Does anyone have any ideas?

For my tablet its own ip assigned by the router. Same with the macbook.the Pocketcloud RDP app also uses 3389.I have port 3389 set for both internal and external port and protocol "both" under the Single Port Forwarding tab in the router config.
