    Trying to improve Path of Exile performance

    You can try to monitor your hardware and see if the "chops" coincide with a spike in utilization or a dip in frequency. If the hardware doesn't seem strained, you might want to consider an SSD if you're not on one already. They are pretty affordable these days.

    Silent Mouse?

    Nexus made a few silent mice several years ago, but they were poorly recieved. There's also the JSCO JNL-101K if you decide against the new Logitech mice. If you have an extra mouse just kicking around, you can also try your hand at modifying the microswitches yourself.

    Looking for a mouse

    I went from the Rival to a Zowie FK1 and haven't looked back since. I too have large hands and couldn't stand the mid-hump on the DeathAdders. The FK1 isn't actually wide in the middle and front-narrow, but I find that it works well for a fingertip-grip. It also stays straight and keeps your...

    Steam Early Access: Rust

    Does anyone here regret purchasing Rust? A few of my friends (myself included) are searching for a new game to play. We decided not to do DayZ because it looks pretty broken in its current state. Is Rust polished enough right now that it's both playable and enjoyable?

    Issue with BenQ XL2420TE display?

    Changing the sharpness either way makes the image worse. My eyes are roughly 3ft away from the monitor. The pattern is strongest at higher brightness. It also appears to be worse at higher refresh rates. At 60Hz, only ~1/3rd of the pattern is visible. I hope that there isn't an issue with...

    Issue with BenQ XL2420TE display?

    Hmmm, perhaps I should post this in the LightBoost thread, but that would be slightly off topic. Can anyone with a XL2420TE confirm not having a similar issue at the very least?

    Speed of wiping an ssd

    It should take less than a minute for the secure erase to finish.

    Issue with BenQ XL2420TE display?

    I managed to take a few pictures that mildly depict the issue. The lines on the screen are much clearer in person, especially with Strobelight on. You might have to view the pictures from a far enough distance to see the pattern.

    Two Displays with Two Computers

    I have been using Synergy for years now. While there might be something better out there, I haven't had the desire or necessity to look. Synergy works very well, especially over a wired network. The last time I had a keyboard or mouse hooked up to my secondary desktop was many months ago.

    Issue with BenQ XL2420TE display?

    I recently got a BenQ XL2420TE, but I can't get over how strange the panel looks, especially when displaying dark, solid colors. There is a very patterned graininess imposed onto the image, the pattern is not unlike the following example. The pattern is of course very small, but is...

    What is Burn in for Headphones

    Some of the changes attributed to burn-in comes from physical wear on the headphone over time. Changes to the clamping force and ear-pads can drastically change the sound of the headphones. As far as the drivers go, I found that certain headphones sound drastically different 20 hours in while...

    Mouse question

    Tracking on the TactX mouse isn't too bad relative to the laser offerings. Why not just stick with it? If your mouse developed the double-click issue, you can try repairing it yourself. I found the shape of the TactX to be rather pleasant, definitely better than the G9x. Ergonomics is one of...

    Advice wanted: Help me find the right fingertip grip gaming mouse

    I would recommend the CM Storm Spawn in a heartbeat if it was consistent at high speeds. The shape is absolutely godly. With the ring-finger rest, you end up clawing with the side of your pinky finger, but as the mouse is very light weight, you get excellent control effortlessly. When you...

    MX Red VS Brown noise

    If you type properly without bottoming out, both switches should be near silent on descent. The majority of the noise comes from the clacking that occurs when you bottom out. If you find yourself bottoming out, you can use o-rings or landing pads to reduce the noise. I find that it is easier...

    Watercooling for XBOX 360?

    If the heatsink is getting warm quickly, then it is doing its job. I don't think you need three fans pointed at the heatsink. Perhaps there is another underlying problem?
