Win8 x64 ..............................I can't seem top be able to make anew paragraph in these forums... I know I could have gotten the Z77 chipset, but didn't see a big difference.. and the ASUS MB price was right.. $140.00. Total was about $800 for everything. MY old computer went to my wife. It seems to work very well with al the PC Combat flight sims. One thing I am not used to is setting up XMP bios settings for memory. It beeps once upon boot. Which I always thought that meant something was wrong with the DDR memory sticks. And they possibly need reseated. Some people say one beep is ok, no problem. But again, beep upon start is not good is what I learned over the 30 years I have built computers. I tried all auto settings, runs the same. I wanted to pull the DDR3 memory and reseat, but the bottom tabs are next to something, and too hard to get my finger completely over. I will live with one short beep when I boot. Otherwise it runs very good. I hope it stays cool in summer. I only have stock cooling.
