My last experience with maglev bearings was with the Enermax/Enlobal Marathon fan. That one had a nasty tonal resonance that all the mounting kung fu I tried couldn't get rid of, and had a grinding issue when mounted in a horizontal position. Hopefully whatever bearing design corsair has...

Every time I've run into input lag in games it was either too much post-processing by the TV or running the graphics settings too high for the video card to keep up on a PC. The graphics settings is usually the cuprit, you can get low but seemingly playable framerates except for the massive...

I think their Perf/w vs last gen is right about where you'd expect from a node shrink + minor tweaks to GCN. The issue is that it's drawing more than spec from the PCI-e slot instead of using the 6 pin connector to properly balance the load. Assuming there is a real problem here and not just...

Well if the device is full of bullet holes they can't very well hack it now can they?

I don't game much these days, what little I do is usually on an old 720p monitor or my 1080p projector. While the games I play most often are older and well suited to my 6570 it's just too slow to run the few newer games I like. As these are easy to run titles, Trine 2, Alien Isolation...

The lag he speaks of is the in-game pilot animations when the controls are manipulated, not the actual gameplay/head tracking

Have you tried using their website? I don't think amazon has anything to worry about.

Your write speeds sound very odd given that they're pros and writing speed isn't normally affected by that evo bug. Try running diskrefresh, manual trim, and re testing.

Running HD tune on my non-fixed 840 evo shows the same severe drop in performance. I've just settled on doing a monthly diskrefresh to keep it more or less viable until i upgrade to a different ssd.

For me it's not so much the new games as it is the freesync/gsync 120+ hz 1440p/4k monitors coming out this year needing faster hardware to run at native res. While I do game on a 1080p projector from time to time I'm kind of stuck on a 1280x720 26 inch tv since my last monitor died for general...

The transporters in startrek worked on a similar idea conceptually, they basically destroy the original, store that data in some technobabble "buffer" because it's too much data for the ships computers to handle, and then reassemble it wherever it's being transported too.

It also probably means they intend to add it as a new charge on your cable bill.

Actually had this happen on my otherwise rock solid 6570 a few days ago. I had the window open and it was around 50F inside the room, artifacting when mostly idle in desktop. Running Prime95/closing the window and letting it warm up and it went away.

Now this is a form of GPS tracking I can get behind.

My guess is 38 special with some cheap lead target ammo, similar in size to a 9mm but less power, and a much softer bullet that lost lots of energy from deformation , the glass probably took most of the bite out it.
