    Want to Sell EVGA Titan

    SOLD EVGA Titan for sale, asking $600 shipped within Canada. Payment via EMT for preference, but PP is okay too. Sadly, my feedback of days past got flushed down the iTrader toilet, best I can post is my Heatware. Card works great, never modded or opened, lived its whole life in a...

    Intel Performance Tuning Protection Plan

    So, does de-lidding/cracked silicon fall under "running outside of Intel's specifications"? :biggrin: This could be a good way to update to a newer stepping on a processor.

    mATX Downsizing: From TJ08-E to SG10

    Back when I first decided to try a mATX board, one of the incentives was that I could pair it with the (then) new Silverstone TJ08-E. And I wasn't disappointed. With a 2500k at 4.4Ghz, and four HDD's, while cycling through a GTX480, GTX580, and finally a Titan video card, everything stays quiet...

    New CRTC wireless rules demand 2-year contract cap, unlocked phones

    They'll get their money elsewhere. While the rest of my cell phone contract is good, it unfortunately includes a $12 fee for call display and a basic voice mail option. Tell me that isn't a markup in the thousands of percent.

    Intel Haswell i7-4770K & i5-4670K Review Comment Thread

    Hmm. Hard to say for sure. A little lacklustre in terms of absolute performance. And already been seeing rather flakey reports where overclocking is concerned. On the other hand, from my SB rig, a few bonuses. More Sata6 ports + twice the bandwidth between the chipset and the CPU could make it...

    RTS games, I don't get it.

    Mirrors a lot of my own thoughts. The phenomenon of obsessive micro is pretty much what's dulled my own interest in RTS's. I figure it's a little like jazz - nothing kills the enjoyment more than taking it too seriously. Although on the flip side, the most boring part of an RTS game is the...

    Haswell potential PSU issue

    SOURCE Seen similar sorts of replies from other manufacturers scattered around the webs. I suspect this will be mostly a non-issue for enthusiast-grade stuff. I suspect any sane mobo maker is going to disable those states by default, if only to avoid the RMA attempts.

    More Titans on the way?

    Banged that 1.5GB Vram limit one too many times, good bye 580, hello Titan. I regret nothing. :whistle: But if they wind up dropping the price of the Titan's, I'll still laugh at the inevitable netrage.

    "Games are 60% graphics"

    Was this guy CEO during Crysis 2? The game with posted videos of people walking through entire levels without firing a single shot, yet without dying? Graphics are 60% of the game when that's all you have to offer. Graphics, like most things, are a case of diminishing returns - the first 20%...

    I give up, silent pc builds are impossible.

    If that system isn't getting you quiet, you've got an issue somewhere. A few thoughts: Best approach would be to turn off/disconnect various things one by one and try to identify if any one thing is causing the issue. You can easily turn the water pump off for 5-10 seconds with no ill effects...

    WOW XFX Your Guys SUCK

    From my own reading, sounds like a messy situation altogether. As best I can tell, the sticking point was simply that XFX didn't bother asking, but simply dictated how the replacement of an EOL item was going to happen. And the product sold was under an older agreement that didn't actually give...

    How a website's TOS might ruin your day

    What I don't understand about this situation is how it couldn't have been handled with copyright laws alone, without getting into some "implied TOS" issues. The reverse implication is that if there isn't a TOS hidden away somewhere on your site, they can get away with copy-pasting your sites...

    Pics of Gigabyte X79 boards seen on VR Zone

    Aside from CPU cooler clearance issues, the position of the power circuits also places them (and their heatsinks) out of the main airflow path for most cases. Even if the case has a top fan to help out, you're still forcing the airflow to make a 90 degree turn upwards.

    Is this the dreaded SF BSOD?

    Yeah, that was kind of a calculated risk, I admit. Lots of free space, and it just serves as an evening gamer/browser, so it's not a heavy workload. I figure I'll check it out in a month, and see if the limited garbage collection has been able to keep up or not. If not, guess I'll suck it up and...

    Is this the dreaded SF BSOD?

    Interesting. I was actually told to enable hot-plugging, but maybe that was a mistake. I'll give that a try. Wish this problem was more common, so I could actually replicate it. I thought it might be the controller, but I've also got a pair of 1TB drives also in raid0, and they show up as just...

    Is this the dreaded SF BSOD?

    Just built myself a new rig (Gene-Z, 2600k, GTX580, Mushkin DDR3-1600), and decided to splurge on a pair of Corsair Force 3 120GB drives for some raid0 fun. Unfortunately, about 3 times in the last two weeks, I've had the computer crash out of nowhere, ending in a BSOD. As the computer resets...

    Reader's input requested on SSD reviews.

    Given how the smaller capacity SSD's tend to have slightly lower numbers, I expect companies don't want the lower numbers showing up beside their competitors "faster" higher capacity drives.

    Thermaltake Announces the Spacecraft VF-I Case

    I remember back in high school, when I was required to submit assignments with minimum page/word counts. And I remember murdering otherwise clear statements with ridiculous amounts of embellishment, to the point where you had to concentrate to understand what was actually being said. And...
