  1. Merackon https://www.vessel.com/videos/JYZEYDYx0- Linus and Slick FTW + OP as shit computer = WIN WIN https://www.vessel.com/videos/JemZ8O7Hy- Because TITAN X is the shit! Can't believe you are giving away your personal rig though, that is rather awesome, for free as well, kudos to you
  2. I have only the USB installer, configured using the Windows Tool. I shall see if that makes any difference.
  3. Still nothing. The only thing that I get is the DVD drive and the SSD, the HDD too if that is plugged in.
  4. https://www.dropbox.com/s/c1p6ofqxejj8pu1/2015-03-02%2018.37.25.jpg?dl=0 This is the issue I have, when I said that I have no UEFI option to boot to
  5. There is no Intel integrated as a result of it being the X79 platform
  6. I have just spent the past hour trying to follow the UEFI guide option in the link above. However, bear in mind that all of the stuff is plugged into the fastest possible Intel controllrs for their respective device type, I was met with the message saying that the boot setting was not supported by hardware or something, and that I had to go and enable CSM to allow it to even get past go. Additionally, shown in the video, there is an option for UEFI boot that you can drag around in the boot priority UI in the EZ mode on ASUS motherboards. I do not have this at all. The only thing that I have is the DVD drive and the Samsung drive, as I had removed the other drives from my computer before this. At this moment, I have reinstalled windows. But met the following issues: Could not follow the guide because computer said no Whenever I booted from the USB and after selecting the drive to install onto, after copying the files over it restarted and the whole process started again The only way to get around this was to choose to boot override using the DVD drive Any thoughts? Sorry if that was poorly written, I am in bed on iPad at the moment
  7. Sorry, I completely derped out here, for some reason my hardware specs evidently aren't showing in the description below my posts. 780 DCU II and 840 Pro.

  9. Hi, Recently did a complete clean install because of a weird quirk whereby I would have the spinning blue wheel next to the cursor freeze on startup occasionally. At that time, the computer was booting in about 12-18 seconds depending on the time it had been off (not sure why this influenced it at all). Now, with the same settings I am getting a far slower boot time, and things like iTunes are slow to launch, even when the music is on the SSD. This has been the case both before and after messing around with the settings in the Samsung Magician software (only really use this to use the shortcuts to the features to disable). It might also be worth noting, POST time is set to 1 second, but it takes about 15 seconds to get to the Windows 8 pre launch logo. In between this time, there is a splash screen which shows something along the lines of 'Marvell Controller Set Up'. This has been the case, again, both before and after I installed the drivers for the Marvell shite on my X-79 Deluxe motherboard. Any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks in advance, Jack P.S - I have changed the MSCONFIG stuff to the usual stuff that normally enhances boot speed.
  10. The issue is, the CPU would not be much of a benefit to me, given that there would be such small performance differences between the two in almost every case that would apply for me. The storage on the other hand is a slightly more awkward area, at the moment, my workflow when I am out of the house for large storage files such as photos: Camera - SD - Laptop edit - Format SD - USB - Desktop for mass storage. So at the end of the day, I have few large files on my computer in the end. Down the line if I needed more, I was thinking about getting a Thunderbolt external drive or something to alleviate any stress on the storage sizes, but I have not made a final decision yet.
  11. Not sure if I am reading that properly, are you saying that you would not say it is a worthy consideration for the upgrade?
  12. Thanks guys! My problem thus far has been people always going into gaming to make comparisons...I have a desktop if I want to do that :-)
  13. Hi, Intending on getting an MBP for new laptop in the coming days, but the only thing that I cannot decide upon is whether to go for the standard Iris Pro model or the 750m model. I will NOT BE GAMING. My workloads will be: 1. Vector working 2. Light to mid Photoshop down the line 3. AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Sketchup, as well as other programs associated with architecture or urban design / planning I need help in deciding whether spending the extra £350 for the 750m is worth it over the Iris Pro given how polarising the matter seems to be on the other forums. Thanks in advance, Jack
  14. As a cat lover, I suffer seeing that profile picture, real or not, that is one good looking cat.
  15. This is inspired by the point from the TB Co-optional podcast, about how there was not nothing that was really that wonderful and new at the show for certain categories of things. Aside from what is that which we already know; Skylake being the prime example, what is the next thing that is not around right now that the technology industry could do with for a big leap in consumer product or professional product development?
