Hi,
I have Soundmagic E10M IEM with microphone, and i"m thinking of using it with my desktop PC for gaming & chatting. I have already got several headsets, but I find them uncomfortable to the ears after long hours.
I know I'm going to need a splitter for Audio & Mic, something like this...
Does anyone have any idea how many host writes an SSD will do when used as Intel RST cache drive ? Just assume 24-hour daily use like gaming, internet, etc.
Do you think it can reach 50-100 GB /day ?
I'm just curious about the life expectancy of a 60GB consumer-level SSD like Corsair...
I got my U2312HM last week, but frankly I'm still quite dissapointed with the viewing angle not as good as I expected. While the colors doesn't change much, the contrast does change quite a lot even with a little angle (30-45 deg). Can anyone confirm ?
And yeah...the black level....not good
Is Elpida RAM a good reliable brand ?
I always have a feeling that it has lower quality DRAM module compared to other popular brandname like Hynix or Samsung.
I don't exactly know why it always gives me a bad impression.
Maybe because I dont see a lot of them like Hynix/Samsung ?
Maybe...
Thanks guys, but I think I will settle on Dell.
After thinking it through, I think the monitor height will give me more viewing problem if it's too low or too high. More people seem to agree that flicker won't be a problem like a CRT even with 60Hz refresh rate, but viewing angle will...
I'm considering either one of these:
Asus ML229H

or
Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM

Size difference doesn't matter for me. The only thing matters to me is...
ok. Just finalizing my ovclk experiment at different cpu speed.
Look at the table of cpu speed below, which I have tested & considered quite stable.
Each speed rating has passed:
- 5 Hour of Prime test with 0 error
- 2 Hour of OCCT LinPack with AVX extension
Processor : i5-2500k @3300MHz...
ok. I guess the heatsink installtion is fine then.
I just realized that I put the 2nd fan in the wrong direction.
Instead of push & pull, I put both to push to the center .
After fixing, I got even lower temperature after running Prime test for 2 hours. Idle at 40C, & full at 60-61C.
I raised...
I have Coolermaster Hyper 612 on my i5-2500.

The idle temp is 35 C. Load at 52-53 C. I touch the heatsink.....cold.
I tried multiplier 40 with everything else at stock.
Running 4000 Mhz at stock voltage, Idle temp is 40 C. Prime...
I realize G850 doesn't support hyperthreading, so each core only handle 1 thread. The whole CPU only handles 2 threads.
Question is, what is considered a thread ?
I have tried to read the defintion everywhere, but I find it too technical.
I still can not picture how it might limit a user's...
