Re: DQ77KB - how to power without external PSU

This website has a module that convert input from a battery of one voltage to a battery of another voltage. So you could use some kind of other batteries or build your own LION Battery Pack from say a rechargable batter for an electric bicycle or something like that.

I recently saw some information on a display for Thin MITX. Might try looking at Youtube for Thin Mini ITX DIY All-in-One PC or go to the Gigayte B2B Website. For some reason it is in that area on their Website. I hope this helps a little.

Re: Intel Desktop Board DZ77BH-55K front-panel USB doesn't work properly on both boards purchased

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 22:17:54 GMT

If the USB works on the back then maybe it is the hardware on the case. If you connected a cable then it could be the cable or the connection on the case. Of cours there could be some issue with the usb2/3 on the motherboard also. I would find a way to verify this. Or just try to RMA it. However, if it is the case, you could be wasting your time. Maybe you should also go the case manufacturers website and check out any possible issues there. It would be a bummer to send back a motherboard and the problem not be fixed. I am assuming you installed any possible chipset drivers.

Re: Help to choose a 4 GB Memory compatible with Intel® Desktop Board DZ68DB

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 23:30:53 GMT

Before I answer this, I own this motherboard, and I used 8 gigs of DDR3 and I am also using an i5 2500k processor. However, I do not overclock. I think if you will read the specs of this motherboard you will find what Intel says is compatable according to the specifications. I am using the DDR3 that the website www.crucial.com said is compatible with this motherboard. I always use the RAM that the RAM manufacturer recommends with a motherboard.

This is the RAM that I used.

Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT51264BA1339

Do not exactly know what you are looking for.

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dz68db/sb/CS-032375.htm

See this link above for list of tested RAM.

The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:

1.5 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the voltage to support higher performance DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs.
Support for 1.35V Low Voltage DDR3 (new JEDEC specification)
Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
32 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology).
Minimum recommended total system memory: 512 MB
Non-ECC DIMMs
Serial Presence Detect
DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs

To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.

1.5 V is the recommended and default setting for DDR3 memory voltage. The other memory voltage settings in the BIOS Setup program are provided for performance tuning purposes only. Altering the memory voltage may (i) reduce system stability and the useful life of the system, memory, and processor; (ii) cause the processor and other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity.

Intel has not tested and does not warranty the operation of the processor beyond its specifications. For information on the processor warranty, refer to Processor Warranty Information.

Re: Possible i7 2600k Memory Controller Issues

Just because they make 1600 DDR3 it does not mean it will run in that motherboard.

Look this up on the MSI website or the motherboard manual.

Look at the rated Voltage of the RAM and the rated VOLTAGE and Speed of the Motherobard. Some motherboards do not support RAM with a voltage higher than 1.5v. I looked at some of the specs on a few processors and some Motherboards may support RAM at 1600 at 1.65v.

RAM is dependent on the specific motherboard model. What is your model? Sometimes the the specific number and size of Chips and whether RAM is doublesided or not is also very specific for the Motherboard Model Number.

Re: i5 2500K compatible memory

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:41:23 GMT

I looked at some of the Specifications on certain motherboard with the H77 chipset, and it says that 1600 speed RAM can only be used with 3rd generation Processors. However, I believe that RAM compatability is based on how the specific Motherboard Model Number. I am wary about RAM compatibility with Intel motherboards because Intel tends to stick strictly to the motherboard Specifications. Some motherboard may let you use 1600 DDR3 based on overclocking (OC). Please be careful and dont just buy things based on what you think or someone you know told you.

Re: Pc hang every 10 to 20 mins

This type of problem can be hard to solve because there are several possibilities.

There is a good chance that this is related to a screen saver or the Energy Control settings, causing the system to close down or go into another mode after a set amount of time.

Something is overheating like Ram, video card, Chipset, or maybe fan is not running.

Bad power supply. Fluctuating power supply causes an unstable condition.

You have a lot of RAM so one RAM DIMM may be bad.

Bad hard drive. Some file is corrupt and when encounterd it crashes. Could also be a bad driver.

You could have some kind of program that is using all the RAM and eventually it uses it all without releasing it. This can be the hardest problem to solve because often the only way to solve it is to uninstall every program till you figure it out. This can also be caused by a system file running in the background like something that is controlling networking or wireless or some other background system function. It can even be a leftover service from some program you uninstalled.

Darn Spyware.

Some other program like Skype is interfering with your running program.

A backup program starts after 10 minutes of inactivity.

I like to use standard crucial RAM. If you go to the site http://www.crucial.com it will tell you what is compatible. I just selected a pair (Kit) of 2 DDR3 modules after searching. You just use the tool to put in the brand and motherboard you have.

I have seen some posts claiming the Crucial Balistix RAM has had some quality issues, however, it may be to overclocking. I think a lot of problems could be caused by overclocking. I never overclock my products.

Re: How do I prevent my laptop screen from going black when I connect an HDMI cable?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 03:16:41 GMT

Try going into the graphics properties. There should be some options. When you have 2 monitors, you should be able to chose, if your laptop is dual monitor capable, to use two monitors and simply display what you see on the laptop onto the tv or other screen. There is another option to send the monitor to the TV, and probably a third option to use both as one large screen. You want to choose the one where you are just displaying the same thing in both places. Good Luck.
