    Mionix Naos not as accurate as it was pre-RMA

    I have a Mionix Naos 7000 optical mouse. It was highly accurate, but had a scroll wheel issue, so I RMA'd it to Mionix. While it was out for repair, I reinstalled windows. I have reinstalled the MarkC mouse fix, set "enhance pointer precision" off, have the Windows mouse sensitivity set to 6...

    Best used LGA1155 motherboard

    Thanks for the help guys. I just ended up getting a PCI to SATA card and sticking with the P8P67 Pro. An inelegant but simpler solution for the interim.

    Best used LGA1155 motherboard

    A blast from the past, I know. I've got an Asus P8P67 Pro right now, which suffers from the Marvell SATA degradation problem. Thus only two SATA ports work, which sucks. My CPU (2600k) is plenty fast, and for now I'd rather just replace the mobo rather than the entire system. Among the used...

    Security issues with selling unwiped router

    Great answers, thanks guys. Confirms what I've read. The only thing that gave me pause was the logging feature. It was just a standard AT&T Pace modem, so I'm not even sure it would have been on. In any case based on my limited understanding it seems like that just logs attempts to access the...

    Security issues with selling unwiped router

    I sold an AT&T router/modem on ebay and forgot to reset the router before doing so. Stupid move, but I assumed that routers don't really store any data worth worrying about. From everything I can find, the buyer would have access to the name of my network, the names of devices that connected...

    How can I tell if my P8P67 SATA ports are defective?

    CPU-Z says Revision D2. I ran the Asus Verifier tool and it does in fact say that my dark blue and grey SATA ports are OK. Not sure why I was under the impression that only the grey ports worked. In any case 4 is enough for me, and I'm pretty dang happy!

    How can I tell if my P8P67 SATA ports are defective?

    Strange update: I realized that there are 8 SATA ports, not 6 as I thought earlier. Couldn't see the last two because the GPU covered them. I tried plugging the SATA devices into the dark blue ports (instead of the light blue ones) and lo and behold it worked! Now I'm totally perplexed as to...

    How can I tell if my P8P67 SATA ports are defective?

    I've got an Asus P8P67 Pro board and I'm trying to make use of the blue marvell 3gb SATA ports. As far as I can recall, these ports never worked, which makes me think it might be a driver issue rather than the sandy bridge defect. Is there any way to either resolve this issue or figure out...

    Difficulty setting up Asus AC66U with Pace 5031NV

    Right, so that's the method I attempted, but because my 5031NV is different from the 2Wire they use in that thread, I wasn't able to implement all of the steps. For instance I wasn't able to set my 5031NV to get its IP from DHCP. It just apparently isn't an option on my router. Does my method...

    Difficulty setting up Asus AC66U with Pace 5031NV

    I'd prefer to use the full functionality of the AC66U rather than just using it as a WAP. The 5031NV is real hunk of junk so I'd like to bypass it to whatever extent possible. Thank you for your help!

    Difficulty setting up Asus AC66U with Pace 5031NV

    Oh that's an interesting method. How do I ensure that my Asus's IP addy is outside the DCHP range of the 5031? By default the Asus seem set to 192.168.2.1. Is that sufficient?

    Difficulty setting up Asus AC66U with Pace 5031NV

    I have an AT&T Uverse and I have had one heck of a time setting up my new Asus AC66U router. I followed the video below, and I've transcribed the steps I took. Then I list off some of the strange errors I've encountered. Any advice appreciated. These steps may be of use to anyone who is...

    290 VS 970

    I JUST got a used Sapphire Tri-X 290 off of ebay for $300 last week. Now I'm feeling really bad. Should I just sell the 290 on Ebay ASAP and wait for a 970? Or am I better sticking with what I've got? I'd like a warranty, but performance and noise are also key.

    Upgrade from 6970 to 770 - how substantial?

    I've already done those sorts of comparisons, as I said in my first post. Reading comprehension 2 hard, eh? Anyway in your link the benchmarks are only about 10% different, which is what I saw in my searches too. Yet the FPS differences seem significant (maybe 50-70% difference). Anyone know why...

    Upgrade from 6970 to 770 - how substantial?

    With a 290 what kind of performance boost are we talking about versus the 6970? I'd really like to get at least a 50% improvement over what I'm seeing now.
