... .. . I have not been on *any* PC forums for a long while. Today I decided to try to log back into Tom's and finally I remember the name Techgage. Sorry about that, but Toms has been suddenly popping up in the lower right corner of my desk top. GRRRR .. have to figure out what snuk in to...

Yes. I am building another new machine. This time it is replacing an old AMD dual-core Opteron 290s on a Supermicro dual socket m/b e/w 16 GB RAM. The system will not boot or even post. Replaced the power supply ... nope, not it. So, anyone want this mb with just the CPUs & RAM? It does not...

I am building a new-ish machine on an ASUS X99-A equipped w/ i7-5960X & 64 GB RAM. Both of the i7-990X systems have developed problems in the past couple of months. These are described in this forum, I think. That M/B, CPU, RAM, & Koolance 380i water block are all that I bought to get one box up...

... the processor overheats, makes steam, steam escapes system, over heated processor shuts system down, steam condenses, soft tubing for w/c system collapses and hardens (normal hardness) with cracks.:mad: This is a section of tubing extracted from said machine. This happened to the tubing...

I never know where to put threads like this as it covers a few topic areas. I never did bitcoin but am aware that the competitive bidding I got involved with on ebay was from those that were buying the accelerator cards for bitcoin mining ... I think I have that right. Now that bitcoin seems...

I noticed this article in EDN, "Raspberry Pi I/O expansion card ..." I really have no time for this! But, I want so bad. Long long ago and far far away ... I used to write C++ code for embedded machine control systems. It was a lot of fun making things move when something else was sensed...

I thought that an odd headline, although I have had an on going aversion to walking over grates. At least in my dreams. I always feel that at the most inopportune moment I will drop my keys!! Hasn't happened yet ... knock on wood :o

I have to admit that I barely understand Thunderbolt. This just popped up in one of my news sources, but looking at the date of the news release ... this is old news? Since I am a bit of an Asus junky I guess I will have to read up on Thunderbolt.

These small single board computers fascinate me. Wonder how networkable they are? They remind me of the MS-DOS cards plugged into a STD bus "mainframe" where there was a master with several slaves, local & shared memory, and all used to control a pot making machine. LOL Long long ago and...

Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but this is a link to an EDN article about SSD testing. This seems out of place for EDN but maybe they needed a little filler. I have kind of lost touch with how SSDs are being tested here, but thought that this might dredge that up a bit.

I am reticent to post this here of all places. Yet, I think I must as I suspect that this forum is a conveyance of secreted messages amongst the many members of our friends to the North. Perhaps this is the heart?:eek::eek::eek: Time to call it out!!:mad: Canadian Maple Syrup Syndicate I...

I finally removed the heatsink from a Nvidia Tesla M2090. This GPGPU has 512 processors versus the C2075 that has 448. Unfortunately the M2090 does not have active cooling as it is intended for server in a rack. Apparently Rack mounted servers for high performance computing have air flow that...

Randomly my WiFi drops off. Nothing connects; iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows notebook HP printer, cameras, nada. This happened today while I was actively using logmein on the notebook. This is in the same house on the same WiFi. I am in the kitchen 2 floors away from the office accessing the...

I pre-ordered 1 from amazonwireless for $150. Scheduled to be delivered 7/2. I have a Samsung Windows phone and I am tired of being restricted. I was such a Windows fanboy.:o It is predicted that the SGSIII will soon be rooted ... what the heck. I will finally be able to put the ring tones...

I came across a product announcement for the Raspberry Pi in one of my hobbyist mags. At $35 it is well within my screwing around that will probably never go anywhere budget.:o

Ha! I thought about just throwing a few words just to say that I started the thread. But no, I don't have that kind of self control! :p I think that the "3" will be a significant mark on the wall of technical achievement. Personally I am primarily interested in the quad resolution display...

I feel like I have living under a rock. Why is it that I did not know that the iPod nano is so small?!? Look at this! A long time ago (25+ years?) I had a watch made by Texas Instrument, of all people. It had moving hands with a second hand, timers, etc all displayed on its liquid crystal...

I copied that subject line from this article. The real topic is micro-stuttering. To be honest, I have never heard of this before and it wouldn't impact my typical activity with PCs, and I only drilled into this because I don't want to deal with spending a lot of $$ to get to Santa Clara (a...

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...

I had never heard how UNIX got its start. And here is a quicky history time chart.
