    Zalman Reserator 1 V2 & Fan Kit

    There hasn't been much in the way of passive watercooling, no. :( I may be an avid watercooling enthusiast, but I think for your purposes some large aftermarket coolers and very low-speed fans would be better suited to meet your needs and should perform better. It'd also be less expensive!

    Last Motherboard question then i should be ready so need ya help peeps!!

    I'll keep it simple. Skip X58. No native SATA 6Gbps, more expensive processors / memory is required, and the P67 platform is better all around.

    Marketing fabricated ARGs

    That's pretty harsh, in my respectful opinion. Became a flop? No tangible benefit? I didn't spend a dime and I got plenty of new game content for games I already owned... I particularly enjoyed the new Defense Grid maps that included GLaDOS from the potato thing. I don't know of you lump...

    Upcoming Intel IGP Driver to Boost Performance by 40%

    I find it hard to believe Intel could magically discover a better way of writing the drivers in order to create a 40% performance boost in multiple games.Even the next generation of Intel's IGP may only just achieve that 40% performance increase No offense, but I'd question what...

    Battle of the SATA 3.0 Controllers

    Howdy Siv! Sorry for a bit of a late reply to your question. For the moment, the safest thing to do is make sure to stick to a motherboard that uses Intel's own SATA 6Gbps controller. These deliver the best performance and stability with SATA 6Gbps SSDs. Many P67 and Z68 motherboards come...

    Earth's population to surpass 7 billion soon

    Yes. It's called famine. What we've seen in Africa is bad, but anyone with common sense can figure out that in the future these extreme bouts of starvation will only get worse. Regardless of if it is from strife, famine, or waste of whatever resources they have left. There's only so much...

    Intel Z68 SSD Disk Caching Showdown

    The number of PCIe lanes is only limited by the how many are available from the chipset and/or processor. For years motherboards have offered additional PCIe 16x slots, but had them limited to x8 electrically or it was dependent upon which ports / BIOS settings were used. That isn't going to...

    The Game that DLC Built

    So freaking true. I truly hate it when it is obvious the DLC was created at the same time the game itself was being developed... they haven't even finished the game yet and they already are working on the DLC? Typically the game quality shows it, too.

    Creation of the Xbox 360 and PS3 in a PC case mod

    Nice mod, I like the idea :)

    When Purchasing an Intel Processor Can Be Confusing

    It's possible but I think it is unlikely. There just isn't any sense for the highest model part to be sold with less features than the next cheaper model. I was telling Rob awhile back that I was a bit embarrassed I didn't even notice this issue when Sandy Bridge first launched, I simply...

    Intel Z68 SSD Disk Caching Showdown

    Alright, lots to cover here. But I already know I need to lose weight, I don't need to see the numbers on the scale again to know that! :( Pong First off, you are mis-interpreting the graphic. :) The "36" lanes here is exactly that, 36 separate PCIe lanes. Remember PCIe is comprised...

    OCZ Announces RevoDrive Hybrid SSD+HDD PCIe Solution

    It is interesting to see, that is for sure. Out of all the SSD+HDD hybrid technologies I've seen to date, this one may be the most promising for the single fact that 100GB is a huge amount of SSD to serve as cache. The single-most problem with hybrid technology is that if the right data isn't...

    Battle of the SATA 3.0 Controllers

    That's a SAS port, you can attach four SATA drives to one, although you need a SAS cable. This card supports four SATA 6Gbps drives. :)

    NVIDIA Interviews Battlefield 3 and Borderlands 2 Devs at PAX

    Wow... that seems like quite a lot for such an old car? Without checking the KBB values first that's just my initial impression though, I have definitely not kept up with the used car market. I do recall that Honda's / Toyota's retain their value better... I'll be honest, I got my '97 Lumina...

    Folding@home 3850 AGP

    In a nutshell, that's true. The important thing for everyone to remember is that Fermi was the first GPU architecture where NVIDIA combined their gamer & Tesla/Quadro market designs into a single core, a single product. Fermi had to deliver all the GP-GPU and other workstation workloads...

    Battle of the SATA 3.0 Controllers

    Psi... it did not even occur to me to make sure they didn't use Marvell controllers, but you are indeed correct. Nice find ;) That Highpoint RocketRAID card uses a Marvell controller that is circa-2009, meaning it actually predates the variants of the Marvell controller utilized on X58 and P67...

    Folding@home 3850 AGP

    Gratz on those performance numbers GFreeman, I would'nt have thought a GT 425 would even give you that much in games! Rob, DarkStarr, it's a tough call to answer. I'm sure some part of it is optimizations... but CUDA is just more efficient at this specific type of workload. Even taking into...

    NVIDIA Interviews Battlefield 3 and Borderlands 2 Devs at PAX

    Good luck with your car hunting Crimson! All I can say is, don't get too old a car... after 12 years you can expect to replace anything rubber, gaskets... and pretty much any fixture inside the car. They just wear, or age especially in 100+ temp environments. The undercarriage is especially...

    Microsoft to Natively Support USB 3.0 in Windows 8

    Originally, Longhorn was slated for a late 2003 launch as just an incremental update to XP, before it became 2004 as the feature bloat began, then 2005, then finally scrapped altogether. They restarted anew in late 2004 to make Vista. So from their perspective, when they released SP1 the next OS...
