    Twist my rubber arm...

    I'm planning a new build, and I'm torn between whether I'll WC for real at the start, or just use a swiftech 240-X for CPU and leave GPU(s) on air for now. Case so far will be: Corsair 760T White ATX Full Tower Case Proc: i7-4790K GPU: GTX980 -- One or two, ref card or not... Details hazy...

    Time for a new build and I've been out for a while!

    That's a fair point. The only time I've done SLI was when I did it from the start. I've been playing Elite:Dangerous. I love what I've seen of SC, but it's not done enough for me yet. At least last I looked. The parts that we recommend may not get deals at all. Thanks for that. I...

    Time for a new build and I've been out for a while!

    4690k versus 4790k makes sense, and seems backed up benchmarks. Yeah, SLI is in the budget from the start as would be water cooling. Going SLI on a 980 or 970 without the triple-monitor setup seems overkill. The other reason I want to wait on SLI is to also wait on WC until block choices for...

    Time for a new build and I've been out for a while!

    Oops! thought I had answered them, but skipped a couple. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? 5k - Yes 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if...

    Time for a new build and I've been out for a while!

    My present gaming machine is way long in the tooth. It was built back in 2007, and has somehow managed to suit my needs until recently. In the meantime, I drifted away from [H] so I'm out of the loop. Upgrading from: E8400 @ 3.6 (was 4, became unstable over time) DFI Lanparty DK P35+...

    About to pull the trigger on this GTX 275 Or go AMD?

    I used to work for Nvidia. Their internal process for their drivers is a hellscape. The dsign guys are bright, the driver authors are bright. The QA.. well. The place is essentially a start-up writ large. If any of you have worked for a software startup, you will understand what I mean...

    Only able to swap my desktop over (others are borg), but that should get about 2500ppd.

    I'm calling 5 folders out...

    Most of my boxen are borg that I can't change the configs on.

    Dang you vista!

    Apparently at some point, my vista box (my main rig) decided that it would be a good idea to put the nic to sleep when idle to save power. Obviously, this didn't end well for F@H when tied in with the fact that I have been too busy recently to check on it. 7 days. 7 days of sitting there...

    Bye, Lithium726 and Tsuehpsyde! (...and Brent??) Also, top 500 by January...?

    oooh, I totally want one of those. (Proud owner of totally unused zombie-bunker.com)

    Ubuntu question: how many SMP clients to run?

    No, I don't think it is under-reporting. You can pop over to the 'Processes' tab in System Monitor and see load averages. Which (simply) is the number of processes waiting on processor time in the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes. (Just an easy way to get some history, since the Resources tab is...

    XP vs Linux

    War? I thought we were just chiming in with the metric asston of distributions that we could help with.

    XP vs Linux

    Nephelim likes Ubuntu. He also likes setting up folding boxen to not run X. It's installed in case it is needed, but it is not running. Nephelim keeps intending to set up notfred-style thumbdrive image for people to use, but Nephelim is a lazy bastard.

    There's a version of prime95 for linux. I don't know if it has a torture-test mode.
