I don't believe there are SKUs per se. Just making sure you're getting an unlocked chip as denoted by the trailing K.

I've been there a bunch of times thinking that I missed something. All that does is allow you to remove the password requirement for login, which is something that I did want to setup at this time. When Ben gets older, I'll put the password requirement back on. In order to get the welcome...

I believe the $135 kit was by Crucial, which had Micron chips. Back when I first started getting into overclocking, Crucial Ballistix where all the rage because the chips that were used were such high quality and allowed for (at the time) out of this world frequencies. As for a solid state...

I'm not much better at this sort of thing than Rob is unfortunately. If it was a current generation system, or even one generation back it would be easier to give you a ballpark amount. If this helps at all, two years ago I sold the following system for $450. Intel i3 (can't remember the...

Once you do your initial stability tests with your system running at stock frequencies, you can ramp things up and overclock right away. There's no break-in/burn-in time required. I say that you should do your initial stability tests first because if your system isn't stable at stock...

Alright, I love these threads! Let's get started! CPU - a total winner, nobody will dispute that. Motherboard - you could probably save yourself some $ and put it elsewhere if you needed, unless you absolutely have to have a "gamer" branded board. The MAXIMUS series is an overpriced, but...

Since my son is getting older and likes to play games on the Lego.com, Nick Jr., and other sites, we thought it was time to setup a separate account for him so that we could set controls and keep him safe. That much was easy, but I'm having trouble getting the Windows 7 welcome screen to act...

I've had mine for about 2 months now. We had intended to actually do a review of it, but the holidays were on us, things got busy, blah, blah, blah. Going from a Nexus S to this is like going from a Pinto to a Ferrari. My battery life is out of this world, the's stupid fast, and I don't see...

Ok, so I cheated a bit. Easy to do with some lighten/contrast adjustments. At least we can see the front. ***EDIT: I didn't realize until now that I caught some other goodies. The top right shows NZXTs usual built in fan controller. I'm tempted to play with the rest of the images too...

I wanna cut down a tree with it.

You could try an older driver. I'm still using an AMD driver from March because the two versions after that resulted in BSoDs before the desktop even loaded. Rather than fight with uninstalling it, I just decided to stick with what works. Aside from that, maybe run some a stress test on the...

The 8-pin power connector in the top left will do the trick in providing extra juice, so don't worry about it.

GHETTO!

I know that Rob says I don't strike him as the type of person who watches anime, but it's true. I'm a total junky. One series that I have loved (and hated due to the disjointed ending) for years is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I've fought with myself about watching the feature length reboot...

Ha! I haven't entered a contest in years. Maybe I should start giving you a challenge again? :p

I work nights and I'm always looking for something to keep me awake, other than NOS and coffee. One night on Grooveshark I stumbled upon a cool ska/punk band called Jaya The Cat. I've been a huge ska fan, but haven't been able to find any that I've liked since back in the late 90's - early...

No slow down here, so I'm thinking things have been sensationalized just to suck in some readers. Maybe things were different in major metropolitan areas, but you'd think that there would be more people running around like their hair is on fire because the end is nigh! The Internet is going to...

Regular mode is easy to rip through using just the quest rewards and drops. True vault hunter mode is where things start to get tough, and ultimate vault hunter mode can get down right crazy! I'd suggest waiting until UVHM. I think I still have about 70 keys or so, but even with the gear that...

After playing through on my Commando three times, and my Mechromancer...crap, who knows how many times I've reset Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, I've finally hit the wall where I simply don't feel like grinding out my weapons for my idea build each time the cap is increased. There's a good chance...

I'm sure it'll end up being a Fast and the Furious-esque movie, but maybe without the criminal undertones. They just wanna go fast.
