    Tango, once again, I did not imply you are promoting a product for free samples. I said what I did because people think I promote products because I get lots of free samples. As for Intel heat specs, those are for 24/7 operation. They do not even heat throttle till well after 90c. They will...

    Tango, I didn't mean to imply you got it for free and that was why you recommended it. I should have been far more specific when I said that so that there was no misinterpretation. In fact, that was pointed towards myself since I tend to get lots of stuff for free and that leads people to...

    Honestly, I doubt it did any real damage at all. That CPU is still pulling off the same 4GHz overclock with all the same settings. Again, running it 24/7 would do some damage, but even a solid few hours of super-heat should cause next to no damage. Over all the years of punishing and abusing...

    Most CPU's will throttle well before they get damaged. I have routinely run the QX9650 I have for testing purposes over 100C time and time again with no loss of functionality at all. I certainly would not recommend this and I am not saying it is OK to do so on a continuous basis, but for short...

    I know I am coming late to the show, but Arctic Silver has not been the "in" paste for some time. After testing nearly every compound on the planet sold in the retail channel, I can state that it is absolutely not near the best. Most will be within 1-2C of each other and they are, as has been...

    Microsoft Told to Stop Selling Office Before January 11

    This still fully smells like money and I would be very surprised if there had not already been a behind the scenes offer that was turned down. While M$ doesn't deserve to infringe on patents freely because they are a giant company, they should just remove the XML feature completely and...

    DFI Rumored to Cease its Consumer Motherboard Production

    Good to see them not out of it entirely, competition is an absolute must at this level so that the other players do not stagnate. If they can come out with another run-away success like the original LANParty boards (NF3/NF4) then they would regain alot of share. Sadly, most current mid-range...

    DFI Rumored to Cease its Consumer Motherboard Production

    This has been a persistent rumor for some time. If you ask me, they never recovered from all their failures after their mind boggling success with NF3/NF4 boards. Even then, they were a nightmare to deal with, but nothing could outclock them. They are dying due to the lack of any decent...

    Reading or Watching the News... Which is Better?

    I prefer to read it, hands down. Most news sources are biased enough, but video news also goes for sensationalism and that further deters from the truth/credibility of a story. Seeing how you show CNN, they are quite possibly the worst offenders. Pick any major news story over the last few...

    Logitech Illuminated Keyboard

    Uninstalling drivers does not remove PS/2 support. There is another issue here. Even with no drivers, my LX700 Logitech setup will work fine. You need to try to start in safemode and then reinstall chipset drivers. USB keyboards, no matter the extra features, should work without installing...
