I don't really consider myself green as in I rarely go out of my way to be green or reducing my carbon footprint ... per se. I am all about saving a nickel tho and if green occurs, then I will comment about it but not proselytize the instance as being green. In this case I am interested in...

There hasn't too much of this sort of re-promotion, if any, on this web site, but Newegg sent this deal to me this AM. This is my preferred PSU over all others ... meaning that none of the 4 I own have yet failed me and a couple are ~2 yrs old in 24x7 service. SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W ATX12V...

hmm, really!?! thinking about the comments *in* the article. I thought and still do, that the issue was all about UV effects on the non-black plastics. From wa-a-ay back I vaguely remember something about molding issues and adding the carbon (of some form) which is the black pigment. Of course...

death by alcohol poisoning ... ... my notebook that is. The evening before US taxes were due this year (April 18th), I was celebrating the completion of said challenge with glass of wine. I had just e-filed & was waiting for confirmation from turbo-tax. On pouring the 2nd glass of wine I...

Add to the list below; 6) find a supplier near you or buy online an assortment of metric screws that will fit your radiator of choice. Some fans come with screws as do some radiators. The tfc triebwerk fans fans came with 2 different screws M4 & M3? or M2? ... not sure about the size of the...

I was wondering what the transfer speeds, using this test, are between HDDs/SSDs in the same computer.

just thinking? Just occurred to me, perform the identical drive to drive tests but internal in one of those machines. This is for reference as well as a sort of measure of internal PC system overhead ... well sort of an overhead as I will have to think about that a bit more. To be really...

What I have learned this time ... general WCing building ideas So somethings that I hope will stick with me from this build (990X) & the prevous (920) & listed in no particular order; 1) the plastic tubing I use is the cheapest 1/2" ID stuff that I can find. The logic is that it will need to...

I will ask a noob-esque question. Are memory & CPU hungry programs faster in Linux than in Windoze? From the that day long long ago & far far away, back when I had a real job & a friend of mine a few cubes away *put* a naked Pamela Anderson on my X-windows display (it was a wonder that he...

Intel And Seagate: Silicon Transistor And Magnetic Storage Density Maintain An Impressively Steady Improvement Rate 1 Tb on a single dbl sided HDD platter & a little more info about 3D transistors. :cool:

Hacked Nook Follow this link I think I will do this .. in my spare time :( a little more

Getting used to user interfa e is quite quirky. All of this being entered via the Nook so it is definitely not too dificult. Some things are intuitive others require some patience & time. For instance multiple windows can be opened but they are all full screen. Confusing at 1st, but learning...

I bought one on Monday. The first time in decades that I have made a "major" purchase without sleeping on it for a week. Well, it is only $250 US. The quick review... it is something of a crossover between notebooks, netbooks, and smart (Windows) phones. It is fundamentally an ebook reader so...

I have an account there ... lookingforasandybeach@yahoo.com .. used at "special" times:cool: Last I chekced, a few months ago, they had POP but you had to pay something like $20/yr for it. Not much but with free POP from gmail I don't use it much.

well who knew?!?! I am finally back at work & with this new i7 990x loaded up with the s/w that I make my living by ... serious numbercrunching stuff. Due to recommendations by the s/w seller & the recent testing I have made on the 990X, I have HT off (still testing, but am now willing to try...

Good to know ...I have a friend that will be able to upgrade about then.

Did you get this k/b? At night I prefer to work in low light & hve thought that this could be a good thing for myself. If you have it, how is the feel? Is it available only on their web site? Seems a bit pricey at $160.

I did some experimentation today with IntelBurnTest. The columns are (and they do not show up at all); #threads memory GFlops temp. HT on 12 max23170 56.5 50-60 ... this translates to 12 threads, maximum stress test with 23170 MB Ram, 56.5 GFlops, temperature via SpeedFan ranges between...

For me, it is coming down to the easiest design to clean the dirt out of some kind of fins. With a radiator a can of compressed air can be used to blow back thru the fins. Quick and dirty, literally. With air cooled, and the box used in this latest WC system had a Noctua "tower" with push/pull...

I like the Indigo Extreme very much. I find it very easy to apply. I have never removed a heatsink in which it was used tho. I read someplace that it just peals off. It is rated as one of the best & for that extra couple of degrees for the duty cycle I run my machines thru ... almost all threads...
