    Still rocking a Galaxy S3 in 2016

    I love new tech but even in 2016 I see no reason to upgrade my S3. The screen is great, battery life is good, and it does everything I could ever want a smartphone to do. Why would I pay $300-$700CAD for a new phone that really does nothing all that new. Hell, even some newer phones I've looked...

    Filthy Disgusting Laptops

    Ugh.. yes, some stuck on the keys (not kidding) and others with f'n hairballs stuck in the fan and underneath the keyboard. How? Why? Some people have no shame. This week has been particularly bad. Absolutely disgusting machines, 2 of them were less than a year old. I would be embarrassed...

    Filthy Disgusting Laptops

    Why is every laptop I work on so disgusting? Crap all over the screen, keys stuck with crap, stains all over the place. I swear 99% of consumer laptops 'regular' people use all look like this. It's like they don't think they can be cleaned or something. Just working on them grosses me out...

    When you watch 4K videos on a 1080p monitor is it really 4K quality?

    I can understand that but why does 4K video look 4 times sharper than 1080p video on a 1080p monitor? I am seeing a huge difference watching that above clip in 4K compared to 1080p on my Samsung monitor. Is VLC making the video stream look 4 times better?

    When you watch 4K videos on a 1080p monitor is it really 4K quality?

    Download this 4K vid as an example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B35Le_BWIu3DS3dfd1NCVk5tZnM/view?usp=sharing Its looks stunning on a 1080p display (thru VLC) and when I play it on a Seiki 4K monitor it looks the same, maybe a little bit worse. Could be the quality of the Seiki monitor...

    When you watch 4K videos on a 1080p monitor is it really 4K quality?

    I have downloaded dozens of 4K video samples and they all look stunning on my 1080p Samsung monitor. Way better than regular 1080p videos. But is what i'm seeing really 4K quality? To me, it appears to be. I have tested the same sample videos on 4K monitors and they look no better than...

    An afternoon wasted - I am an idiot.

    Installed a Corsair H60 liquid cooler this morning. Install was easy, the rest of the day was a frustrating disaster. Now I feel like a complete idiot for overlooking the simplest thing. My PC powered on fine but my i7-3770 temps were all over the map from 35-45.c idle to 90-105.c at full...

    How often should you replace a CPU water cooler?

    Other than the pump going bad/making noise and possibly the fan dying how likely is it for leaks to happen with these all-in-one units? Would you say its rare?

    How often should you replace a CPU water cooler?

    I found out who made the liquid cooler in my system. A company called AVC. I had never heard of them before and there doesn't seem to be much info that I could find. What i did find out was they seem to be like the Foxconn of cooling and make coolers for other companies. Enermax and Asetek came...

    How often should you replace a CPU water cooler?

    I have a 2 1/2 year old iBuyPower system with a no name (that I can find) CPU water cooler. System is running fine, temps are always in the low 30 degree celsius range. Other than blowing out the dust its been working great. How often do you guys replace a CPU water cooler? What's the average...

    Side panel fan with water cooled CPU

    I want to install a 120 or 140mm fan on the side panel but i'm reading recommendations for intake while others say exhaust. I have a front intake and top exhaust fan already installed. What do you guys consider best for a system that has a water cooled CPU? thanks

    How much do you think a 1TB SSD will be in a year?

    In Canada a 1TB SSD goes anywhere from $450-800. Do you expect prices to fall dramatically this year (or in a year)? If I could find a 1TB SSD in the $250-300 range I would be happy. How long do you think it will be? Thanks

    Has the power ever gone out

    When you were flashing the BIOS? I wonder if this has actually ever happened to anyone?

    IQ noticeably better on EVGA 750ti than Radeon 7850

    I had been using an unbranded Radeon 7850 for 2 years (came with the ibuypower system I bought). Thought the image quality was ok but remember thinking 2 years ago that my old system with a MSI 6850 looked better. Overall the 7850 was stable until recently. The 7850 bit it a week ago, no...
