I have put TP-Link in 4 PC's, they work great. (Although not that one specifically I had the low end one and the MIMO N ones) maybe get a different TP Link?

Reaper 392 · 28 Apr 2011 at 20:46

only thing i can suggest is to change the motherboard to a gigabyte/MSI equivilant, because some people have been having problems with the asus motherboards:

this would be best if it was available: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-170-MS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1906

but its been on preorder for forever and a day, so im going to suggest this instead: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-324-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1906

other than that, it looks great

I have used one in the past, worked just fine.

Vista and 7. Unlike the people in that thread I didn't use the disk, it just worked when I put it in. Maybe that's the issue?

danzhang16 · 28 Apr 2011 at 20:56

ManiacVirus · 28 Apr 2011 at 20:56

ManiacVirus · 28 Apr 2011 at 20:59

Does anyone have a coolermaster cm690 II dominator lite (why the long names lol)
If so can u confirm if the front fan is led as it shows in the pic on the OC site.
It lists as normal fan not led in the spec?
