    AsRock Z87M Extreme4 - GPU Backplate Clearance Question

    Backplate is typically 4mm added depth. The I/O clearance is seriously close to that, certainly much less than 1 cm. Poor design or not, I am still curious if it fits. Thanks.

    AsRock Z87M Extreme4 - GPU Backplate Clearance Question

    Just a quick question for those who own the AsRock Z87M Extreme4 motherboard. This is a mATX board, and there is minimal clearance above the primary PCIE slot and the back I/O block for the audio connectors. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of whether a graphics card with a backplate...

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire Bundle Lucky Draw

    Always longing for the latest and greatest from AMD. My 5850 just doesn't feel as peppy as it used to!

    IE 9 Beta: 2M Downloads in 2 Days

    I also got the "IE has stopped working" error loop on start up. Tried the same remedies and had no luck. Rolled back the update and back to Chrome for now.

    Anyone have the AS1810T-8638? (Acer laptop opinions in general?)

    Good to know. In that case, Amazon really needs to update their product pictures.

    Anyone have the AS1810T-8638? (Acer laptop opinions in general?)

    If you look at the product page on amazon, it appears as though the left shift key is shortened and placed directly next to the "|" and "/" key.

    L4D2 Demo Impression

    I guess I'll be the first to disagree as I thought the demo was very good and a refreshing change from the monotony of the first L4D. The daylight does seem contrary to the setting and events going on around you, but it is an interesting change to the setting that hasn't been previously...

    Anyone have the AS1810T-8638? (Acer laptop opinions in general?)

    Just to clear something up, while there was a 1810 in the UK that was released as the 1410 in the US, the OP is not referring to either of those two laptops. He is referring to the newly released AS1810T-8638 in the US. The 1410/1810 is based on the Aspire One chassis, but this new AS1810T-8638...

    Windows 7 Student Upgrade Installer Having Issues?

    My 741 upgrade went just fine. It presents itself as an upgrade, but gives you the option to perform a custom install which lets you do a clean install instead. My original confirmation email did not include the product key, but yesterday (Oct 22) I received a second email saying that my...

    5800 series overclocking results.

    What browser are you using? Does it support tabs? Not trying to be deliberately obtuse, I've just never heard of this phenomenon before. I wouldn't think that this would happen under normal operating circumstances. How many windows are you opening at a time when this occurs?

    Bought a pre...

    Not that this comment has anything to do with your point, but the iPhone was released on June 29, 2007. The Palm Pre was released June 6, 2009. This is less than two years, not four. Carry on.

    58xx launch: why so sneaky?

    I sort of remember every launch ever kind of going like this. The NDA expires on a certain day and up until that day there is no real news, just rumors and speculation. There will be official statements and reviews going up tomorrow most likely assuming the date we have is correct. It's always...

    NVIDIA GT300 Yields Are Under 2%?

    Those yields are so low I simply cannot believe they are even close to semi-accurate! Here's hoping that this one is just FUD.

    Radeon 5870 X2 TDP is 376W

    You are now using an actual power consumption in an attempt to validate a TDP number, which is not the same thing and should not be compared. Take this link for instance: http://ht4u.net/reviews/2009/power_consumption_graphics/index14.php You'll see that the actual power consumption of the...

    Radeon 5870 X2 TDP is 376W

    The TDP on the HD4870 is ~160W. If you assume that the HD4870X2 is simply twice the power of the HD4870 this gives you a TDP of 320W. However, if you assume this you would be wrong as the TDP for the X2 is ~250W or a difference of about 22% versus the theoretical doubled number mentioned above...
