    I'm looking at upgrading asap. Thinking of getting an Asus Z270p with an i5 7600k, 8gb DDR4 3000mhz Corsair vengeance. As yet undecided on PSU. thinking of putting it all in an Aerocool DS3.

    Time to sweet talk the wife :D

    Tell her it's gonna cost twice as much as it really is, one of two things will happen, either she'll agree and you'll have more to play with, or she'll go mad, when she goes mad and you tell you you're joking and it's actually only half the amount, she'll think that's much better than she would if you told her the real price first time :D

    You lot are very funny :) Well the saga continues as today from a cold boot the machine stuck at the splash screen again. For whatever reason the pc didnt like part of the beta UEFI i flashed from over at tweaktown. Backup bios kicked in and reset everything including settings for PCI ROM. I cant be doing with this behaviour , so was expecting to upgrade imminently.

    Then it occured to me........ Flashed back to legacy /hybrid official BIOS from Gigabyte using "EFI2AWD" from within DOS......... It only bloody works now. Cant believe it , so far so goood........ but on the downside that upgrade will have to wait. That'll cheer the wife up anyway lol.....

    Glad you got it to boot . I have ASUS ROG and an extra bios chip flashed to another version. The chip is not soldered so easy to change. ASUS has nice bios for manual tweaking timing etc if you decide on that. I saved forever & bought corsair 1000w modular PSU, although system doesn't require that much, why get a 600w when GPU needs 500w , IMO a 100w buffer is not enough. At minimum get a 750w :) Good luck with upgrade!
