    i5 10400 Catalina advice please. Nvme boot etc.

    Thank you so much for your input. That is excellent advice. It looks like the G, is actually $80 more, and the D is more than double. But for $80, I call it a win to follow that Golden Build you mentioned! Not sure how I missed that, but that does indeed seem to be the way to go. Also, thank you...

    i5 10400 Catalina advice please. Nvme boot etc.

    Hi there, looking to build a new system. I'm a photographer/ videographer. Worked off of hackintosh since my first Sandy lake one I built thanks to this awesome community back in 2011. Wondering if I'm making any big mistakes here with this system. Looking for decent value, not screaming high...

    Can't boot off USB, sticks at big white Cancel sign

    Quick update. I can't recall how I did this exactly, but now I'm showing, as an iMac 14,2

    Can't boot off USB, sticks at big white Cancel sign

    Okay, I didn't know that. So I'm unsure of how to do that, or what the next step is. Trying to look it up, is it I have to update Clover, or configurator and then update the system definition that way? It was a couple years ago now I think when I made this build, and Can't recall exactly what...

    Can't boot off USB, sticks at big white Cancel sign

    My apologies. I thought I had provided the context up above. This is when I'm booting off of USB. Unibeast Sierra. (Have not installed OS via this USB yet) Power on computer. Up comes clover. Tap space bar on external- the USB stick. Choose verbose. The only other drive attached is an SSD...

    Can't boot off USB, sticks at big white Cancel sign

    Trying to update my system from El Capitan to the latest. After struggling like crazy, I've read a few things that lead me to believe that I should instead be updating to Sierra first. (My mac shows as an older Mac Pro(Early 2008), and won't let me download the most recent OS) So I started...

    I thought you said you were going for a 680?

    WDN4800 intermittent problem

    I too am experiencing this same problem, I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 If I turn the wifi off, and then on, it immediately starts working again. But its super annoying. It also seems like if I'm actively "using it" it works longer, but if I let it rest for a bit, to read a long webpage say...

    Hi! Anyone here working in productions business? (Newbie question :) )

    This is excellent advice. I use mine for business, and recently moved offices. Things started to act up and I was getting some crazy stuff happen. The peace of mind to know that I had 3 boot drives, and all my data was super safe was well worth the extra time and money it takes to produce. I was...

    Ivy Bridge Mountain Lion Server on the cheap? (Daylite 4)

    Hey everybody, I'm looking to fire up another hack. My current rig is running great for over a year, however I now have some different needs. I'm looking at running a Daylite 4 server, and I can't run it off my main computer, since it requires Lion, or later and things run too smoothly is...

    Slow boots far post-installation

    This is likely not your fix, but it just worked for me. I was moving my rig around from offices to another office, and my CPU cooler had become dislodged, and slightly loose. It would hang while trying to boot, and when it did boot, after many attempts, it would just shut down shortly...

    iPhone 5 ... hit or miss?

    What gets me is the fact they claim this is the "biggest thing to happen to iPhone, since iPhone" Really? Not much at all happened. I guess, that means nothing much has changed about the iphone, ever in their estimation. I'd definitely say the iphone 4 was a larger step, compared to the 3gs...

    Moved offices, now things are really acting poorly.

    So, after struggling with this thing for 3 hours, 2 minutes after I post here, I thing I have it figured out. It seems that the CPU cooler had become slightly dislodged, and was loose for lack of a better term. I checked all the connections, but hadn't check this. To anyone who has some...

    Moved offices, now things are really acting poorly.

    Moved offices, now things are really acting poorly. [solved] I just moved my customac, and when I booted it up at the new location, it seemed to talk a while to boot. When it did, everything was a little choppy, and didn't seem to go to fast. I thought that perhaps my boot drive, SSD was...

    Sleep issues w/ Gigabyte

    Anyone got results fixing the keyboard, and usb unmounting issues? It seems that if I wake my machine from sleep using the mouse, the keyboard still works. If I wake it with the keyboard, I need to unplug it and replug it in to get it working. I also get the disk unmounting when I it goes to...

    Will these Graphics Cards be "hassle free?"

    I'm a total noob, and just recently got my rig up and going this week. I elected for the GPU in the #4 Sandy Bridge Build, Gigabyte 6780. It worked like a charm. No messing around. I read on a post that the Graphics database can be a bit out of date, this card for example listed a bunch of stuff...

    [SUCCESS] GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3, i52500k, Rad HD 6850, Lion/SnoLe

    Well, I've had great success with just about everything. However, I can only get sound out of speakers and headphones when I plug into the green line out jack. My surround system has 3 plugs, designed to go into the three corresponding jacks, but if I use those, I don't get anything. Any ideas...

    Fresh install sndybridg z68, should I have ethernet working?

    Thanks, after I did a little digging, I found an excellent guide by Frostcall. Updated my bios, and did it all over again. Definitely worth it, now I have ethernet, and sounds working no problemo. Frostcall's guide is definitely great for any noob looking for a no nonsense guide to the gigabyte...

    Fresh install sndybridg z68, should I have ethernet working?

    Hi, please forgive the sheer naivety of this question. Total noob asking. I just took my first crack ever at building a PC, let alone a customac. With the help of this wonderful forum / resource I have successfully got working my i5 2500k Gigabyte z68MX Gigabyte 6870 GPU 16gb Ram After...
