    What was your least favorite graphics card?

    YES that hunk of junk was my first video card purchase. The only thing it even did halfway decent was the bundled Mechwarrior 2. I'm thankful for the pain as it was a wake up call to never trust box marketing, ads, or really basic reviews. From then on I made sure to take the time to really...

    Pictures of your DC rigs

    My folding rig (same as signature): 1 RTX 2080 Super + 1 RTX 2060 + a 9900KS managing to just barely hit 4M PPD. I dropped the 2060 in back in April in a desire to get in the top 5 producers club :)

    Removing a PSU from its enclosure

    So I'm working on building a case with limited space and was considering taking a Corsair 600W and removing it from the PSU enclosure so that I don't have to build around a giant 150x84mm box. Obviously the PSU will still need as good or better airflow than it would get in its stock...

    780G Integrated Audio vs. SB Live

    So I'm throwing together a system to tide me over until 32nm Nehalem (westmere) and I've ordered an Asus M3A78-EM with a 780G chipset. My question is- which is likely to give the best audio quality: the integrated 780G audio (aka Realtek ALC1200) or an old SB Live 5.1 PCI card that's currently...

    BenQ FP241VW vs Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP

    Anyone using the new Samsung Instinct

    123Lanoix I don't think it is better, but thems the breaks so to speak. I think it happened because that SERO plan was heavily abused with people that didn't even know anyone at Sprint, much less personally, using them. But like I said all the old people got grandfathered in and even still...

    Anyone using the new Samsung Instinct

    I'm happy you were able to find a phone that meets your needs :) And you got seriously lucky on the SERO plan...they just removed the old SERO options this week. Fortunately all the old SERO users get grandfathered in. They're also allowed to keep it as long as they like (even with new phones-...

    New Cell Phone

    I know down here it's "free" in the sense that with Sprint you have to get an unlimited data plan and it's included with that. I think otherwise Sprint has it for like $5-10 /mo.

    Anyone using the new Samsung Instinct

    Yea something I think a lot of people aren't aware of is that cell phones deteriorate with time / use. That's why a network may get better, but your service gradually gets worse. Imagine how your wireless router would perform if you carried it in your pocket for 1-2 years, leaving it in hot...

    New Cell Phone

    Where are you seeing that the iPhone has better battery life than the Instinct? The article at anandtech shows the iPhone as having about 3+ hours when it's heavily using 3G and if you just use it occasionally throughout the day, it's about 5-6 hours. This is right in line with the Instinct's...

    Anyone using the new Samsung Instinct

    Hey I saw your post from a couple weeks ago. I just wanted to say that I'm an engineer with Sprint and have used the phone. With regards to the plan it's actually the same price that you have to pay for the iPhone except Sprint's gives you a few more items (notably unlimited texting.) The...

    AMD Chief Technology Officer Resigns

    I think it's more so the fact that this is like the third or fourth major AMD exec that's "decided the time was right to move on" since Dave Orton (the former CEO of ATI) started the trend. That combined with AMD's seeming inability for 2 years straight to produce a truly good CPU makes one...

    Core 2 Quad at Newegg G0?

    What cons are there to buying a G0? If you're referring to the initial instability / fluctuation of prices and not knowing which stepping you're getting- that's just because they are so new / everyone is buying due to the price cuts. In a couple weeks G0s will be everywhere and everyone's...

    Applying thermal paste on your Quad core.

    I would put some seran wrap or a plastic glove on if you're going to use your finger. Skin oils will lower the thermal conductivity of the paste and change its consistency.

    What kinda wall is this? All was going so so good with G0 Stepping....

    I'd say mobo as well...but is anyone else also wondering about that PSU? Pushing 4 cores at 3.5GHz has got to be pulling some serious load on the 12V rail. And while it's not like 500W is tiny...Enhance is no Corsair or PCP&C. If the mobo switch doesn't pan out I would try to find a nicer psu...

    Applying thermal paste on your Quad core.

    Well technically it will work so long as you put something on there short of leaving a plastic cover on the heatsink or hosing it down with 1/4 cup of the stuff. But I think this thread isn't focused on what just works for slapping a system together, but rather what the "ideal" way to put it...

    The WC Thread: You got questions, we got answers!

    Well naturally on the OCing info (I've built at least 20 boxes in the last 6 years) your OC is heavily dependent on CPU luck + good mobo, ram, and power choices. But I do appreciate the friendly extra info :) . But yea this is my first WC box though so...good to know that it should handle it ok.
