    U.S. Government Wants To Electronically Limit Truck Speeds

    Honestly I don't see people as a whole being that committed to voting anybody out of office that does anything to clamp down on freedoms. They piss and moan for a little bit then move on to the next thing they see on Facebook that infuriates them. Fear of the people is not something our...

    U.S. Government Wants To Electronically Limit Truck Speeds

    They claim they are doing this is the name of safety. If that were truly the case would it not make sense to do this to ALL vehicles on the road, not just trucks? Government agencies like to throw that whole "its about safety" line around quite a bit. I am not arguing against the regulations...

    Anyone Getting Their DOOM On?

    I tried to load this up with my GTX 580...its ugly and painfully slow at 1920x1200. Not so patiently waiting on 1080 or 1070's to be in stock.

    Connecting multiple case fans together

    Yeah guess it was a bad idea. Tried to window box fans together, airflow seemed the same. Noiser than if I separated them. Shrug.

    Connecting multiple case fans together

    I had a odd thought and I don't know if its even practical but thought I'd ask. Say you have a fan installed somewhere, whether it be a case, CPU heatsink, or radiator and plenty of space. Is there any benefit to attaching another identical fan to the fan currently in place. Kind of like a...

    Upgrade or not...need honest opinion

    Yeah that place is really amazing when it comes to pricing. Pretty crazy that I can drive 70 miles each way $20-30 in gas, pay sales tax and still end up paying less overall than I can online. I love AMD and have been running them as my primary system since the days of the 1333 Thunderbird...

    Upgrade or not...need honest opinion

    Well...after much fussing about with my system and trying to push for more pretty sure it fried the chip or MB.Even after getting everything reset to default the system was not acting right. 8150 was showing it was running at 3.6, but everything it did was extremely slow, try to play an mp3 and...

    Upgrade or not...need honest opinion

    I tried...I would bump it up a tick at a time and give it a whirl. Once I found where the chip peaked out at speedwise I bumped the voltage back down a touch. Where its at now is the best its going to do with what I've thrown at it. I mentioned before that weird anomalies pop up. I do a lot...

    Upgrade or not...need honest opinion

    Like I said, if there wasn't going to be a huge speed increase its almost like whats the point. Going by what everybody has said here and elsewhere so far even if I went to that chip its not going to make a huge difference. It is what it is, its not like this chip doesn't do what I need it to...

    Upgrade or not...need honest opinion

    To answer a few of the questions I am using Handbrake, high profile, none of the filters turned on, CQ set to 21,1080, slow speed (one step below medium) using auto passthru for the audio. To give you an idea Pearl Harbor bluray took a little over 5 hours to encode. Zakk and Miri which is...

    Goodbye PCI

    I feel old when I mention ISA slots and things like Zmodem to the gamers at work. Congrats on leaving behind PCI.

    Audio Interface for Computer (External?)

    I have an external soundcard that I use for recording/editing and mixing and I know that it does phono inputs and headphones quite nicely but also cost upwards of $400. Kinda get the feeling you aren't looking to drop a pile of cash for this project. I know some of the lower priced units out...

    Polish that hard drive!

    A good electrical cleaner like De Oxit would have worked wonders on that corrosion. I cannot say enough enough good things about that stuff when it comes to fixing electrical contacts.

    Official ASUS Poll - Do you use front panel audio?

    I would love to be able to use the front panel audio to hook up headphones in a hurry unfortunately I have yet to have a PC case where the FP audio was hiss or noise free. I have a pair of higher end headphones that go between my music production external soundcard and my Ipod but when it comes...
