Re: Self build advice
It was better to let them do it than to break a £250 mobo, and it turned out that, that was the reason the board wasn't picking up a stick of ram.

Just a bit worried about fitting the waterblock to my graphic's card, but if it blow's it then I will just buy one that already has it on.

Re: Self build advice
it will work in a virtual machine yes. If it has Vista drivers then may may well work anyway

Re: Self build advice
It does have vista drivers. I'll give that a go.
My belkin KVM switch also has issues with win7

they do have an update but only for 32bit windows7 not 64bit

Windows version, OS compatibility: Windows 2000, Windows XP 32-bit, Windows server 2003, Windows 7 32-bit size: 5 MB

If anything is incompatible I shoudl be able to whack it through the virtual machine right?

Re: Self build advice
OMG.

I just got one parcel from ebuyer. I only order it like yesterday at about 14:00. I now have the ASUS P7P55D-E LX busy having a look around it. Now I wish it did have the single snap on connector for the hdd activity/reset buton etc.

What quick service and I selected the free within 5 working days options.

Re: Self build advice
Yeah it has to be said eBuyer have got their act together over the last couple of years, both Asus boards I've bought came with the connector to slot everything into place before plugging it in, this one does not?

Re: Self build advice
Yeah they are easy to connect everything to without the Q connect block, as I snapped a pin on my Q connector block so just did it the old fashion way of straight on to the board with no issue's as all thing's were labled anyway.

when it comes to those little stupid pins then yes sometimes, but normall it's not a problem just when I drop it or something and the pin bends and then I try to bend them back sometimes they snap.
