I've used about a dozen different keyboards over the past decade or so. Mostly cheapo Microsoft, Dell, IBM, Logitech keyboards. Last year I took a dive into "gaming' keyboards with a Microsoft gaming keyboard Sidwinder X4. It was OK, but I didn't love the layout. Recently, I scored a...

After discussing my company's plan for expansion, we're considering colocation servers to meet our needs. Luckily, the service provider was smart enough to mention we should get a dedicated hardware firewall. (We weren't even considering it as we were going to run all linux based servers)...

Looking to get a modular psu and just use one lead with a custom cable to power 4 hard drives, 2 optical, and 1 ssd. Probably will be going with a Seasonic or Antec brand psu as my corsair (non Seasonic) is just a pita.

Do they support port multiplication? I'm looking to get an external JBOD enclosure, but I don't have the room for another PCIe card if the on board esata ports dont support multiplication.

Yes, I've tried reading the manual. I can seem to get it installed, but I can't seem to get the WebDav URL. I'm on a managed VPS using centos/whm. Can someone help walk me through once?

Ok, after a session of BF3, I got pissed and banged on my keyboard and the back legs broke off my Logitech Access keyboard (media keyboard from back in 2003 ish). It's served me well, but I can't stand using it anymore. I have big hands. (Left handed) I'd like to have something that's...

Background: Windows 7 Professional 64bit. Plantronics USB headset (plug and pray) 16Gb of ram I've been using my Plantronics headset for about 7 months now without any issues. Same windows 7 install, different cpu/mobos, and all seemed fine. Starting last night, when I plug in my...

I suspect that my chip my be having issues. I checked out the cdscores.com page and it seems all the CPU render scores for a 2600k are higher than my best overclock. Would someone mind benching their 2600k at stock and oc and report back their scores? I just need some piece of mind.

I'm looking for 2 wide screen 1080p monitors. 19" would be great but my research is coming up short. Any suggestions welcome!

Just purchased a corsair 650tx v2 (new) from compusa. However, the fan seems really loud (rpm wise). It's basically the loudest fan in my entire system (including my MSI 560). Power draw fom the wall seems to be about 180watts on idle and abou 250 on CPU load. Is this normal for this...

I'm not sure what has happened, but hyperthreading seems to have stopped in Win7. 2600k Asus Gene-Z mobo. It is enabled in the bios. I am overclocked to 4.6. Prime does detect and run 8 threads. IBT does not. Neither does my video applications. Is this a form of throttling?

Ok, after a scare the yesterday day (due to the AI suite really messing up my cpu voltage), I'd like to remove it completely and just OC from the bios. Is there any instructions on how to remove the AI suite and just set things from the bios instead?

Are there any stats of what the i7 2600k IGP can overclock to?

Until now, I've never messed with a mobo that can OC within windows. However I've noticed a glitch that my system/cpu wont go into turbo mode unless I choose an OC profile within the ai suite II. I don't kind doing that but everytime I reboot I have to choose the profile manually again. Any...

Ok, like others, been a while since I've upgraded (from q6600). Upgraded to a retail 2600k and asus max iv gene-z. I'm not sure if I like the efi bios (compared to the classic blue bios) but I loaded optimal defaults and then set the CPU to auto turbo with all cores and XMP for my ram. Saved...

Do I need to do a fresh install, or can I run Acronis and restore to a bare bones image (right after windows 7 installed) and the drivers be detected for my new motherboard/cpu? Just asking before I tear down the computer. Thanks!
