    ASUS Radeon HD 7850 DirectCU II Video Card Review @ [H]

    It's pretty damn odd for HardOCP not to also mention the HD 7870, which can be had for $215 after rebate. The HD 7870 generally outperforms the GTX 660. It also comes with the Never Settle 2 bundle. So thumbs down for too narrow of a scope on this review. The HD 7870 + Never Settle 2 is easily...

    ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II Video Card Review @ [H]

    It always comes off as sensitive and insecure when the cult mentality kicks into insecurity mode and goes on the defensive. There is absolutely nothing wrong nor should there be any shame in discussing methodology. The best science comes from those that are willing to do so and that don't reject...

    Raidmax Orion Mid-Tower ATX Case Review @ [H]

    The Carbide 200r that was recommended in the conclusion is $60. Good cases can absolutely be had for $60. The lower cost usually means cheaper materials and fewer features, bells, and whistles, but it's does not automatically mean "piece of shit".

    Raidmax Orion Mid-Tower ATX Case Review @ [H]

    I love seeing that "FAIL" badge at the end. It is not because I want to see a product do bad, but it's because I want to see people willing to call a fail a fail rather than calling it a "6 out of 10". I have to say, I'm not in the typical [H] target audience. When I saw the question "Hasn't...

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire Bundle Lucky Draw

    I love these cards for their computational power, and their staggeringly low-power draw "zero core" mode! Unlike the Phenoms, the Radeons keep getting better and better.

    Kingston HyperX 3K Series 240GB SSD Review @ [H]

    I see. If you format the drive and leave some capacity unformatted does the unformatted space work as spare area? I thought even free partitioned space was used as spare area of sorts. In light of scathing reviews I'd switch over the the Crucial M4 anyway, but I'm still curious about whether a...

    Kingston HyperX 3K Series 240GB SSD Review @ [H]

    Understandably there can only be so many drives thrown in the review, but it's still fair and important to consider others that weren't in the review. You can get the 256 GB ADATA Premier Pro for $175, comes with a drive sled and with Acronis...

    ASUS P8Z77-V LGA1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    There are two types of Intel virtualization technologies (AMD as well, but this is about an Intel platform product so I'll stick to that). VT-d and VT-x. As far as I can tell, virtualization support is dependent upon the processor - not the motherboard. Intel usually completely omits...

    MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) LGA2011 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    MSI has always seemed like a roll of the dice to me. If I want good I go Asus. If I want cheap I go Asus or Gigabyte.

    Galaxy MDT GeForce GTX 580 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Wow, this review is pointless. Not even a stock version of a GTX 580 thrown in for comparison? Not one single other card represented in this review? Pointless. At least put one single other card in the review for comparison's sake. Posting this review the way it is just reflects poorly on [H].

    Bah! Deleted. I'm struggling with reading this morning!

    SAPPHIRE TOXIC HD6950 Video Card Review @ [H]

    That is an impressive product. Too bad about the PowerTune problem. I suppose flashing the BIOS is easy enough though.

    LOL, well played.

    ASUS Sabertooth P67 Motherboard Review

    OK, so the goal here is to provide cooling (well, provide the potential for cooling since dumb shits at Asus didn't provide a fan) for something that doesn't need cooling? What's next? Can I get some thermal armor for my, uh, my driveway? I could use some additional cooling on that mofo...
