I wish the future was now. Of course 1GB/s is faster than even fibre channel... nothing could use a drive that fast to it's full potential. Not to mention the next future planned SATA spec update only doubles 300MB/s to 600MB/s... ;) The article mentions a 16 channel flash drive. The...

Well I didn't look very closely to be honest, and just said it to throw it out there, not accuse them even though they tried it in the past. I didn't check the screenies as I've seen to many screenshots that look stellar, but then ingame is something else entirely. For example that...

I don't own one of those fans, but based off the 37dbA and CFM I'd say they will probably be loud. "Loud" is a relative term though... safer to say you will be able to hear these fans, but they might not be loud to your ears. "Silent" fans are typically at or below 20dbA in my view, but they...

Technically RMA'd stuff isn't new, it's refurbished or opened goods sent back to the original company. Unless they send you a new, unopened retail kit or some such.

Exactly what B1k1 said. No point in testing outside the case, because simple things like tube routing/arrangement can cause a fitting to leak. Just install everything so the system was ready to be powered on, leave the AC plug disconnected, and use a secondary PSU outside the case to power the...

That's very interesting, its to bad you have to buy that specific version to get it though. It would've been enough reason to buy one of those $0 AMIR boxes from Frys. And I still think having a program that updates/checks for definition updates every 5-15 minutes during everyday use is...

None of those coolers look to be that good... I didn't say it wouldn't be possible, but I think the CPU temps would be a little to high at 4GHz. I've played with a 1.2v Q6600 at 3Ghz using an AF7 and temps were not pretty... those coolers rate as good or worse than an AF7. I could always be...

From what I've read software drivers used to usually bring large performance improvements back when the ATI 8000/9000 cards and NVIDIA Ti/FX cards were around.. These days there's no benefit to leaving anything unoptimzied during a new hardware launch, but I wouldn't be surprised if they figured...

Hm, I can remember when NVIDIA's GTX 260 216 couldn't even beat a 4870 in most games... those much hyped 180 drivers really seem to have done something. :)

I don't think any of those will be sufficient to cool a 4GHz E8400, sorry.

Mike does have a point, make sure your RAM isn't overheating and throwing errors. Simply using four modules of RAM causes this problem for me so I must keep a fan on them, but FB-DIMMs get significantly hotter... Also, if you are using Intel's RAID system, I suggest you open up Intel's Matrix...

I don't do rebates as much as I used to, because what is the point of a $5 rebate when you spend 50 cents in postage, buy an envelope, and spend $ on both ink and paper to print it? Or gas as well, if you must drive to the post office. More like a $2 rebate after all that. If you wanted to be...

Yes, resetting the defaults does exactly that, it clears out your BIOS settings. You should always do this yourself after flashing a new BIOS, plenty of times some setting was changed it caused odd behavior until I remembered to load defaults and save them in the BIOS. After that I reloaded...

Yeah, the voice received input isn't nearly loud enough. I still can't hear roughly a 4th of people I played with despite maxing it out. It's mostly the cheap ass mics on their end, but it would still be nice to have a bit more volume control. Playing the game with sv_cheats enabled and the...

lol... Bandwidth Limit Exceeded. Thank you for the info, I'll be sure to grab a copy of this whenever they get a mirror up. I know WinRAR is great for opening, viewing, or extracting ISO files to disk, but it doesn't mount them.

As far as what coolers are compatible, many are but they require mounting kits... some newer ones ship with them, but many don't. It's not a complete list, but it's a good start: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=727186

I wasn't to sure about this game, I've not played typical zombie shooters before as they never held much interest beyond the initial game. I ended up getting it though, and boy I'm glad I did. It's a riot, and the versus mode is incredibly crazy when you are with a group of friends that don't...

Despite what they say you should always run the most current BIOS. Many things don't work or function well in their first several BIOS releases, and newer hardware isn't optimized. I use @BIOS myself, it's a great little tool. Exactly what it needs to be. Just as a tip, never flash the BIOS...

Sum it up this way: People don't know when to quit. She kept forking over money hoping she'd get the original money back, couldn't cut her losses. With a mortgage, loan, and lein on the car, she's pretty much ruined her life.

The Blend tests both the CPU and the northbridge/memory. Run the Small-FFT test to specifically test the CPU only... and if it still locks up in XP then it's probably the CPU. If Small-FFT tests fine but Blend does not, then it is likely NOT the CPU, and probably the chipset or memory.
