    acwilson96 got a reaction from legopc in Mac OSX 10.7.5 not detecting USB drive   
    I had yeah and don't worry I understand the need for that question. I managed to fix it by attaching a USB splitter to the same USB port and then the Drive to the splitter, odd that this would fix it but whatever!

    That's anyone's question really. Make sure you're running the most up to date version, the Corsair link and it's software are pretty finicky

    What? The Lepai has two stereo inputs - one via dual RCA and the other via 3.5mm TRS. OP's just wanting a 3.5mm to RCA cable like  @Mo5 suggested.

    In my experience, Monitor audio is pretty shoddy (lots of static, crackles, and pops). If yours is good, however, then that ghettup would work fine.
     
     
     
    I think if you buy it from a UK store (Amazon.co.uk as opposed to .com) it should come with a UK power supply. If it doesn't, you can always get a cheap power supply locally or a US to UK adapter.

    I especially like the part where "br0kenrabbit" tells him that Valve employees never ask for usernames or passwords.
     
    Then br0kenrabbit actually asks "Greg" for his username and password, and he actually fell for it. lol

    The link is actually not good.
     -> No mention of task scheduler for looking at startup programs
     -> The registry tweak, suggested is bad. It says to set the value to 1, which as per Microsoft documentation says: 0-Disable, 1-App launch prefetch, 2-Boot Prefetch, 3-Both. So, you have it already. Now you disable the boot one, so Windows will take more time to boot.
     -> Disabling Aero, unless you have a very old low end graphic card, will hurt performance, as you'll be using XP engine, which means using the CPU to draw. CPU suck at drawing.. hence why we buy graphic cards.
     -> Prioritizing process is something you should not normally do.
     -> Disabling font, does not accelerate things since Windows 7. So it's now officially a myth. Also you can hide them, instead of removing them.
     -> Windows feature will free up space, not give you performance.
     -> Unless you you have a Pentium 3 500MHz, disabling sound won't increase performance.
     
    Sorry, not good advice.
     
    For better advice (assuming you are using an HDD):
     -> Using CCleaner you can see your startup programs, and task scheduler entries all in "one" location (well the same programs, they are in different tabs). Remove anything related to updates of programs, and startup programs you don't really need.
     -> You can also deep defrag your HDD if you want. Not only it will defrag your data, but move it so that it's much more consecutive based on access time, allowing for example, to have all your data related to boot process, or starting a program, to be one after another. Making things go faster. A program I recommend (although not free, but there is a trial version, and you really need to do only once per Windows install.. so might as well be seen as free), is O&O defrag (http://www.oo-software.com/en/products/oodefrag), get the 64-bit version if you have Windows 7 64-bit. Once installed and started, select your drive parition, and click on Zone Filling, then click on OK. Now simply click on the arrow of the start button, and select OPTIMIZE/Complete.
     
    This process will take several hours, depending on the degree of fragementation and how much data you. It can easilly take 8h if you have a lot of stuff. Better do it over night. Be sure to set Windows to NOT go to sleep after a while... you don't want your computer to go to sleep while it defrags
     
    Once done, restart your computer, and enjoy!
     
    -> Another thing you do, is enable AHCI mode for your SATA controller. AHCI mode allows NCQ (Native COmmand Queue) which makes your HDD much more smart in seeking your data:
    I think this picture explains it all:

     
    The reduction in movement will allow increase in performance.
     
    For the specs you have, the above tips should help the most.
    Anything else will just be superficial.

    Check the sensor at the bottom and ensure that it's clean and dust free. This is sometimes an issue.

    well it seems quickscoping I can't find anything about LLC for your board aside from you asking about it on a bunch of other forums and one guy referring you to the manual which is a complete waste. (I'll try again later it is possible they didn't include LLC for some reason though)
     
    Also check ProKoN's overclocking guide since it's another good reference you could use.
