    Return Crucial MX100 512GB and go with another SSD?

    I bought this SSD myself about a month ago. No problems at all. Performance is great too. The only thing I miss is software. Samsung SSD magician is really good. The OCZ software isn't as good but it does allow you to run the trim command. If you dont mind optimizing the OS on your own for an...

    NVidia GeForce Experience

    After my last 3 driver updates (344.16 and newer) I notice at the beginning of the driver install, It says uninstalling previous drivers for a few seconds. I used to do a fresh install of windows going from an nvidia and amd card or vice versa. After the 4 weeks with GTX 980 article kyle made it...

    GTX580 SLI with a GTX780 i SLI using an i7 2600 Sandy Bridge

    I think you'll be fine as most tech articles have said if you have sandy bridge you don't need to upgrade. The only question I think is relevant is if your motherboard supports PCIe 3.0. Some P67s do some don't. Even so 780Ti SLI will give you a big jump in GPU performance. Also your overclock...

    Intel Haswell i7-4770K IPC and Overclocking Review @ [H]

    I've got mine at 4.4 with 1.28V. I can run 4.5 but its not stable.4.5GHZ Works at DDR1600 speeds. 4.4Ghz works at DDR 2400. Not sure which is better. 4.6Ghz is a no go. I had to upgrade because of SATA 3 SSDs and PCIe3, Which all of my other stuff used but i wasnt getting the advantage with a...

    suspicious behavior - hard drive failure?

    I have used SeaTools to Fix bad sectors on many of my drives. It works for that but nothing else. Keep in mind I have about 8 seagate drives in my multiple computers, with multiple drives in them. Only 2 of them have made me use SeaTools and when the bad sectors are fixed they have worked fine.

    Dubious: Western Digital Lifeguard tools. Built to deny Warranty claims?

    I recently bought a WD RE 4TB drive. You're scaring me! I wouldn't touch the "Green" Drives though. Hope everything works out

    3Dfx Rampage testing (2013)

    I love this Retro 3DFX stuff. I had a Moster Fusion, and a Voodoo3 3500. The Vodoo3 3500 was in a spare/donor system I gave away, when the friend threw it out I grabbed the Voodo3 3500 and have it in my closet since about 2008

    ATI vs Nvidia drivers ?

    Leaving past issues out, as you're considering buying a 650 ti Boost. AMDs drivers are amateur at best, Proof is the article HardOCP recently put up that the newest catalyst drivers catching the 7970 up to the GTX 680, which Absolutely Annihilated the 7970 on Launch. Oh, but a year later AMD...

    8 GB Vs. 16 GB Gaming Rig

    I Just bought a Maximus VI Hero for my haswell build and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400. The way I see it many say that 8 is plenty these days. But the max on my mobo is 32GB. So I'm halfway there. Add another of the same kit if 32GB becomes a necessity (not likely).

    So you walk into a Micro Center and......

    I went to microcenter and bought a 4770K on Friday. They didn't have the Maximus Hero VI only the Extreme. I really wanted the $40 off but didn't justify another $120 in mobo price. Coincidentally, it doesn't even look like they carry the Hero board (checked via website). Only bought the Proc...

    Newegg RMA Technicians Are Breaking My Returns

    I have bought many parts through newegg since about 2001. Most of the parts were ok but RAM was defective all the time. Dealing with them for exchanges wasn't bad at all. Giving about a week to send them the defective ones and send me new ones. In 2008 I wanted to build a PC from scratch (like...

    Good move. I love my GTX 680. I lost all respect for AMD with my 4890. Nvidia all the way!

    I too am on the X58 with a 920. I was waiting for haswell, but with lackluster reviews, guess i'll wait until christmas time to see if IB-E pans out

    AMD Unleashes First-Ever 5 GHz Processor

    I am not a fanboy of any company at any time. But AMD has gone further and further off the rails for enthusiasts. I used to say if AMD came out with something faster than intel, I would build a system on it immediately. Now it's so bad I want to see 2 generations to be sure it's not a fluke. I'm...
