    next build around X79 + FT02B + 540mm RAD

    In this previous build thread Tharic-Nar made some useful comments in #49 about the IMC. It was/is beyond my means to test as suggested tho. I had another discussion with kougar, I think, before that when my software guys 1st told me that more than 4 cores (i7-920 - i7-990X) might not scale...

    next build around X79 + FT02B + 540mm RAD

    Because I have the M2090s I no longer feel the need for maximum smoke OC-ed CPUs. I won't need the i7-3960X @ >$1K in other words. It would be nice to get an idea how the i7-3930K can be OC-ed. I have discovered that certain combinations of OC-ing the i7-920 actually slows the PCIe bus down & is...

    next build around X79 + FT02B + 540mm RAD

    I am thinking about the next build around the new gen CPUs coming out. I stumbled across this build thread & think it very interesting. He solves a few problems I have had such as mounting the rad air filters with magnets. And that is a huge rad in the bottom of that case. Definitely a...

    Can't I catch a break?

    Self pressure is the worse. It is one thing if it is just a matter of self discipline ... doing something that is currently more interesting just because it is not what you should be doing. Trouble shooting for hours what in the end is seemingly simple is sort of a self insult ... for lack of...

    Should Tablets and Smartphones be Considered "PCs"?

    Doesn't that describe Apple anything?:confused: Not arguing, just trying to keep it stirred up tho.;)

    Video: Apple iPhone 4S Animated Teardown

    This is the Design News link. I have missed a few tear downs of other products. I just decided to click on this one this today. I think the animation is done nicely & very inciteful into what is inside the 4S:eek:

    VS show

    So my wife just comes into the office & says that I'm missing her girls! "Hmmm!!" I think. I respond with, "I love your girls!!" (girls being code for boobs) She turns on the Victoria Secret underwear show ... ;) Of course a girl was just interviewed who is 19. Now I feel like a...

    Gigabyte Introduces Tablet-Laptop-Desktop Hybrid PC

    link to the full story I think I get the idea for the possible market for this product, but I'm doubtful. Of course, I still don't like the all in one printer/fax/scanner ... 1 thing breaks & the rest becomes useless.

    Report: iPad 3 to Have 2048x1536 Resolution Display

    Yes. I also like those notebooks with 1920x1080. I do not like the struggle of trying to use one while traveling tho. When I do get to the destination, the large display works nicely to use something like logmein.com for remote accessing the desktops & the CAD graphics. Unfortunately the cheap...

    Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition Review

    A very thorough review Rob. Looks like a lot of effort & well written. I'm not sure when the next build will be but it will likely include this beast ... maybe as early as Feb '12. It is fascinating how the different processors take the occasional lead away from i7-3960X.

    Tesla M2090

    THAT is good news. I am all about getting a quality m/b with current crop of CPUs (more modest price) & then up grading the CPUs in the future if it makes sense. As I understand it so far, the will be more PCIe channels now Gen 3 as well as a few legacy Gen2. I forget the mix but that doesn't...

    Sporadic CPU usage

    Was the hentai crack ...er ... wise crack over the top? I think Rob is mad at me. :rolleyes: Glad I didn't comment on the "Microsoft ... Adobe disc" thread. Although the day is drawing nigh on the 5 o'clock happy hour so it could still happen.:confused:

    Sporadic CPU usage

    Hmmm, 1) did you reboot your machine in the last 5 minutes? 2) when was the last time you visited a hentai site? 3) if the answers to the above are "no" & "never" ... yeh, right ... but anyway, you have malware put on your machine by your nearest competitor. This is my after 5 PM diagnosis...
