New motherboard is ORDERED!

I love that thermal armor, it looks so badass.

Luni, mine is here:

and no, mine is not better than the one you linked lol

Plum, ran into trouble with it. Turns out my old mobo's SATA mode was set to IDE and that's what I installed windows as. this one's default is AHCI. I had issues booting up until I changed the mode to IDE, but I'm having a crapload of issues at my desktop now. I'm just moving all my stuff (music, games, etc) and doing a clean install under AHCI. I won't be gaming till later tonight most likely.

There's a windows fix installer that can convert your windows drive from IDE to AHCI, I did it a while ago and it just changes a few things in the registry.

Where is it? lol...I reinstalled windows...and forgot to freaking change the UEFI setting to AHCI before I did it....*facepalm*

*EDIT*

nvm...found it on microsoft's site. They have a file that runs and automatically changes the registry values.
