    Dell / Alienware M11x R3 in hand, some (colorful) thoughts

    Awesome. Totally old school. The 8xxx laptops inspired the first Windows laptop fan management software (i8kfangui) that I can recall. Not that you needed it, but it was cool.

    Dell / Alienware M11x R3 in hand, some (colorful) thoughts

    I want to preface this. 10 years ago I owned a Dell Inspiron 8000 with the original mobile GeForce chip and a 1 GHz Pentium 3. It was awesome. The screen was great. Thermal management was by a heatsink with dual non-centrifugal fans. It was never loud, and it wasn't actually that big either...

    Newegg charges credit card before shipping?

    I recently ordered a couple Newegg deals found on the [H]. Looking at the order status pages, I see that they don't charge your credit card at shipping any more. Is this a new normal that I wasn't aware of? I thought all reputable online retailers charge when the order leaves the warehouse...

    Jobs Bashed Intel In His Biography

    As if Steve Jobs invented the die-shrink... This is not an Apple-centric industry trend. Classic Jobs attack technique: be a condescending douche about somebody or something ("teaching" Intel about chip design) and then make a tangential half-compliment (Intel is the best for high power...

    How hot does fabric need to be before it catches fire?

    Do not do this. Anybody who has worked in fire prevention and saw this thread probably barfed on their keyboard. Also, your insurance company will be unsympathetic to an unsafe electrical device causing catastrophic damage to your house. Also, a real live person sleeping on top of...

    HD6950 with strange behavior

    For the record, I ended up going RMA with this card. It started artifacting on the stock BIOS/clocks. The voltage was never modified.

    HD6950 with strange behavior

    I tried 11.8 also. The rig has been rock solid for about 2 years except in this instance. The PSU is a SeaSonic unit and I think I'm reasonably within the power envelope. I will try a different PSU as soon as possible though.

    HD6950 with strange behavior

    I sort of have a fix. I will probably stick with this since it's less pain than an RMA. The error was "ATI display driver stopped responding and was recovered" or something close to that. Create a profile in CCC. Edit profile .xml file: ... <Feature name="CoreClockTarget_0">...

    6970 shaders at 6950 clocks.

    HD6950 with strange behavior

    Part in question is MSI 6950 Twin Frozr II, new. When starting a Furmark or OCCT type stress utility, 99% of the time the desktop (Win7 64) hangs and then delivers a successful-driver-restart message. Sometimes the stress utility proceeds but usually the process has to be terminated...

    5970 in Antec One Hundred?

    Thanks! I game with headphones, so noise does not disturb. I am hoping a 100+ cfm fan at the side panel will create enough airflow.

    5970 in Antec One Hundred?

    This may belong in the cases forum. I've confirmed a 5970 will fit in the Antec Twelve Hundred. Based on Antec's marketing photos, the interior of the One Hundred is similarly laid out. Are there any examples of long video cards in the One Hundred? Is there 12+ inches of video card space...

    The Air Force Goes OCP

    The contractors the AF selected to manufacture ABUs have such poor quality control that the pants and shirts (blouses) rarely match. Sometimes it's subtle, and sometimes you see a guy walking around and it's just... WTF... Hopefully we do not see a repeat with the multicam.

    Problems with 10.12 Reverted back to 10.10e (anyone else)

    Rejected 10.12 due to blue screens on a 5xxx card. 10.10e is smooth.

    Strange boot problem with Radeon HD

    Interestingly, this board has an open-end x8 slot with a clip for x16 cards. It is not misleading like a lot of 1156 boards.
