In regards to the PSU, I have Corsair HX650, which has decent reviews and is holding out well.

Since I didn't have the paste and wasn't going to get it today, I just thought I'd do some trouble shooting. I reset the CMOS and viola!!! So I still don't know what the issue was, but I'm up and running............and happy :)

More research shows that due to the fact that I did not reapply heat sink paste, there my be air pockets remaining, which may be causing the CPU to overheat. I'll check the temp. in the BIOS this morning and update.

I think the CPU fan may he the cause as initially it came with it's own paste. Since I changed out the mono and did not have any paste to apply on the CPU cover, it may be causing over heating. I will try and do a cold boot in the morning and see what comes of it. "Award BIOS 6.00PG/Asus...

This morning, I installed my anti-virus, firewall etc and tested "The Son of Sam". It worked great, with all 3 GPUs being functional. I left for a bit and after that point it hasn't worked. Basically, when I switch it on, I will hear 2-3 sets of 3 bleeps, and it sounds like everything is...

Thanks Tiki, I will do this once I get fully functional.

I agree. I think an i3 processor should be plenty. However, when I build, I am looking to have my machine for 5-10 years. Within that time who knows what may come, so I upgrade a little. I almost never go for top of the range as second best is not too far off and you can get it for half the...

For anyone interested (FREE Downloads start at 11PM, but I'm assuming traffic will be high at that point). Download the Windows Developer Preview 8 The Windows Developer Preview is a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers. 32-bit + 64-bit...

Lol, Oh yes my wise sage :D and the real appreciation will come when I actually need the 3rd card.

Unfortunately, this was before my time. Those times were THE times. Jimi Hendrix, Woodstock, Peace, Love and all you can stomach s*x, Disco, the good "green" stuff and of course, THE PUNCH CARDS :)

My wife hates the blue neon light as it bothers her when she's trying to sleep (my home office is an extension of our master). I still haven't installed the 4 monitors, which are pretty bright and also have a small blue neon light at the bottom front. This is going to be fun :D :D :D The...

SUCCESS, SUCCESS, SUCCESS!!! I received my new mobo from ASUS today, swapped it out and just wished it would have worked like this the first time round. That would have made for a perfect experience. I guess there was a lesson in this too. All 3 graphic cards work on all the PCIe x16...

Since WF, clarified SATA II and SATA III, I feel more inclined to post the SATA III drives. This is an OCZ and comes at a reasonable price of $60 for 60GB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227728 <img...

:D :D :D I also like the way it say "S" for Sam on his top :D :D :D. Now just to get a body like that!

Since this is now done, I will try and put up the cost of the whole system and see if I could fit it within budget. I will put up the purchases of the peripherals and monitors separately.
