    500gig SATA SSD for an older laptop.

    Thanks, gang. The masses finding PC building has definitely turbofucked the utility of crowd-sourced reviews.

    500gig SATA SSD for an older laptop.

    Is there any particular reason why the user reviews for every SATA SSD I've checked out are absolute dogshit? Trying to find an SSD for an older productivity laptop and I'm having zero luck finding any option that is particularly well recommended.

    Dead Z77a mobo, looking for a way to boot the win7 install on another system

    Friend had his MSI z77a-gd65 give up the ghost. It's throwing 19/55/4F codes and memory and PSU have been ruled out as the cause. There's no indication of any data loss on any of his drives and he had backups of everything critical, save for his bookmarks and saved passwords from Vivaldi and...

    A Massive Intel Hardware Bug May Be on the Horizon

    This. At a minimum, NSA knew about this shit if they didn't commission it. I saw a series of posts on another board last night where security dudes were listing intrusions/breaches by suspected state actors that had never been adequately explained, but matched up with what you could...

    A Massive Intel Hardware Bug May Be on the Horizon

    This is like BP during DeepWater Horizon. They can't say anything that can be shown to negatively impact shareholder value. So they are lying.

    A Massive Intel Hardware Bug May Be on the Horizon

    You laugh, but I've met marketing types that would demand a meeting to talk through that proposal. In terms of outcome though, Intel deliberately slowing down chips would be met with a reaction closer to when John Deere started bricking tractors/combines remotely with bad software updates...

    Best Bang For the Buck ~48" display. Mainly for Streaming and Steam Link.

    I need to lose some lard, so i'm adding a TV/Kodi box to my exercise room. Wall space limits me to sub-55" models. I only need 60hz 1080p with "OK" input lag for stuff like Xcom, willing to go 4k for a good deal though. What is my best bang for the buck option in the 48-50" size? Probably going...

    Twitter Warns Users of Profiles with "Potentially Sensitive Content"

    Twitter is a dying platform. Between this and all of the other throttling systems they've been adding for the last 2 years, it's virtually impossible to have a conversation on the platform, let alone see tweets from people you follow. Twitter is barely even usable as a marketing platform...

    South Park: The Fractured But Whole Delayed

    Unless the delay it to remove UPlay, I don't give a fuck. The only reason I broke my 6+ year Ubisoft boycott to pick up the Stick of Truth was that it didn't have UPlay.

    Upgrade path from a 2013 Nexus 4 on StraightTalk

    Looking for an upgrade from my Nexus 4. It's in good cosmetic shape, but starting to get flaky and the battery life just isn't there any more, even with the usual suspect apps removed. My budget is $300-400. I was looking at the Moto X Pure 32gb, but I think they've been out for a while now...

    Upgrading From NEC 20WMGX2s for CS:GO And Video/Photo Work

    So waaaay back in 2005 I went in for the best 20" IPS on the market, the NEC 20WMGX2. Blacks like a pool of India ink, viewing angles as close as I've ever seen to 180 degrees, zero input lag, glossy 1680x1050 display, all for a mere $580 each. I will say though, I totally have gotten my...

    Steam 2013 Thanksgiving sale is here! runs from November 27 to December 3

    Pretty much. I won't discount the great things he's done, and he's been working, but it's been 10+ years since he released anything worth your time.

    New Steam Controller

    Another thing to remember is that this is a hardware beta. I wouldn't take any individual feature of the controller as 100% set in stone, least of all the button placement

    ASUS P8Z77-V stuck in reboot loop with the CPU LED lit

    Well judging by the quality of service I'm getting so far, i'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy a replacement while this RMA is plodding along. :mad: I keep hearing good things about Gigabyte so i'm looking hard at the GA-Z77X-UD5H, are there better options out there in the $150-200ish range?

    ASUS P8Z77-V stuck in reboot loop with the CPU LED lit

    Clearing CMOS broke the reboot loop, i was able to get in and updated the BIOS to the new one from last week. However, after 40 minutes the system rebooted and went back into a loop, this time with both the CPU and the the Memory LEDs lighting. So i'm thinking flaky mobo, I'm going to open...

    ASUS P8Z77-V stuck in reboot loop with the CPU LED lit

    So my new Ivy Bridge box, that's been up and running for almost a month to the day, spontaneously rebooted itself about 20 minutes ago and is now in a reboot loop, refusing to post. The CPU LED is the only one that lights and then goes out after roughly 5 seconds when the system tries to...

    Day Z - experiences and Gameplay videos

    I got my new system up and running today so I took my first whack DayZ. Pretty cool so far, I'm on my second life, spawned in right in front of a fully operational bus, with injector pens and blood bags scattered everywhere. jacked the loot and the ride, and headed up the highway, I'm now...

    It's time, current system can't run Grimrock. :(

    Build updated again. I remembered that I had a new Cooler Master 690 II that I'd bought for a project that got shelved in the basement, so I'm good to go in that department. I think I'm gonna start grabbing stuff based on this, see what pops up on sale this weekend. The only thing I'm...

    It's time, current system can't run Grimrock. :(

    Updated build after taking into account thread feedback. I figure I have ~ $300 left to cover a PSU and SSD. I'm gonna allow up to $120 for a SSD and figure on a PSU budget of < $180. Would one of these...

    Amazon Prime Sheninigans

    I got the Fedex/USPS horseshit for the first time a couple weeks ago, box finally showed up two days late from one state away. Best advice I can give you is to call and bitch. They get enough complaints they may end this stupidity.

    It's time, current system can't run Grimrock. :(

    I'm sticking with my pair of NEC 20wmgx2s until they die, unless I run across a screaming deal on a 24", 16:10, glossy IPS panel in the meantime. I like to run my games as close to maxed out as possible. When I did my last build, the 8800 was pretty overkill for that resolution as well, but I...
