    SSDs Suffer Performance Degradation Over Time

    I'm glad you posted this. Amazing how none of the major sites seem to have touched on this issue yet.. One or two sites mentioned this occured but not why nor had any mention of the severity. Frankly it's very disheartening because there is a secondary issue with Intel SSD's that makes this...

    HAF mod Start

    Yeah, it would be. Same as the cap on a T-line. Reservoirs should only crack if they are cheaply made or the barbs are screwed in too far, but yes they can be an additional source of risk. I can't figure how but some person poked a hole in his DD single bay Res cap and it leaked on him. He...

    Windows 7 to Follow Vista's Edition Scheme

    The Problem Steps Recorder is also part of their feedback program, until I saw the article I didn't realize it was a standalone tool that was available. Every time I've been sending in hard to reproduce bugs I've used it, it really does make a difference showing them how to recreate a bug than...

    AMD Launches Five AM3-based Processors

    Okay, here is the URL: Link Here is a screenie someone else made anyway: Regarding your problems with the memory, could it be Intel specific memory? Some modules have their subtimings adjusted specifically for Intel platforms and require lax timings to work in AMD rigs... otherwise I'm...

    HAF mod Start

    Technically chances of leaks are in favor of a T-line, simply because instead of a inlet and an outlet port a T-line has an additional third coupling, therefore a third point of leakage. I just use a reservoir because I like to check on the flow rate, and not have to top off my loop every...

    Would You Purchase an Xbox Live Gamertag?

    Hm, that's a good point. I wasn't thinking about the actual Xbox Live account. So now that he is trying to sell it on Craigslist, I wouldn't be surprised if MS decided to ban his account. He could very well end up with nothing at all...

    Tribute to fallen sodas!

    I was grocery shopping as usual today... I'm sure most people have heard of "Big Red". Well, I spotted bottles of something called "Big Blue" right next to them from the same company... I didn't buy one though!

    Would You Purchase an Xbox Live Gamertag?

    The account had 25 feedback iirc... it was a yellow star account for sure, so no big loss if it was. Some listings like that seem to be allowed, so I bet it was a matter of being against Microsoft's EULA or some such. If MS filed something with ebay to take it down I'm sure they would have no...

    HAF mod Start

    Yes, those plastic swiftech barbs can cause issues. They have to be torqued in more tightly than it first appears. I caught one of mine with an extremely slow leak on my Apogee GT CPU block during leak testing, and only after 24 hours was it showing ANY signs of a leak. I've been looking...

    AMD Launches Five AM3-based Processors

    Yes, the backwards/forewards compatibility was an extremely smart decision for AMD. They were talking about doing it with AM2/AM3 since the Socket 939 era though, so they have been planning it for awhile. :) Things like this are why I am cautious of AMD. Give this a read...

    Tribute to fallen sodas!

    Yes, but they also sell the current version of Dr. Pepper with cane sugar as well as the original formula version with cane sugar. I guess that was what they were doing as that sounds like when I bought two cases of the stuff. This is what I was talking about...

    Tribute to fallen sodas!

    If you ever get the chance or happen to be traveling through the US deep south (around Alabama), ya might try Buffalo Rock. It's honestly the strongest ginger ale I've ever had. People that never had it before often cough after the first swig as it tickles your throat. :D The stuff is great for...

    Tribute to fallen sodas!

    I used to love Slice as a kid. It had that real fruit juice in it that just made it taste better. Now that 7up changed their formula slightly it's just as good, but I had still forgotten completely about Slice... That is very interesting about Mr. Pibb. I used to like it as a kid, but I...

    HAF mod Start

    Yeah, that happened with my first loop. I used Swiftech's green liquid additive and some of it broke down in the loop, ended up dying the tubes a nasty yellow-brown and left a scum line on everything else in only a few months. That is why I use pond/pool additives now. Much cheaper, they do...

    Intel Reveals Westmere 32nm Roadmap

    Well, that is what I tried to explain. Dunnington is actually "native" in the sense it is a single monolithic die. But what Intel did was take three Wolfdales and crush them together, only adding new silicon to meld the three dies into one for manufacturing and playing around with the L2 caches...

    EVGA's GPU Voltage Tuner Tool Released

    Well, not sure how my card stands compared to most other GTX 260's, but it is very heat sensitive. Heat seems to be as much an issue as voltage. When set to 675/1458 clocks my GTX 260 takes longer to artifact at 1.20v, only after the core temp crosses beyond ~65c would artifacts appear. ATI...

    Intel Reveals Westmere 32nm Roadmap

    Ah, no problem Rob! Just trying to make sense of all the info. I saw the DMI listed in one of the hybrid charts so was getting concerned... I think I'm ontop of it all now. :D It is unfortunate that Gulftown won't debut until the first half of 2010. I get the impression it simply seems a...
