    FX8120 or 1090T?

    If you don't have special needs like PS2 emulation -- which SSSE3 is a MUST -- then the 1090T hands down, which will probably be cheaper if you wait a few weeks. I would've gotten a 1090T over the i7-2600k I bought in June had 1090T had SSSE3, would've saved me quite a bit.

    Realtek ALC 889 -- ASIO?

    I searched and searched to no avail, and e-mailed Realtek and got no human response. Does this support ASIO, particularly over the S/PDIF output? Thanks.

    Newegg socket bent pin RMA? Sandybridge

    Well thanks for all the responses. I should know by the end of next week whether RMA is rejected or not. If it's accepted for exchange I will certainly post an update. And I will thoroughly inspect the replacement board for any pin damage after carefully removing the plate this time before I do...

    Newegg socket bent pin RMA? Sandybridge

    A $30 fee would be more than reasonable even if it's manufacturer defect. I didn't check the pins beforehand as I had assumed they would be fine given the protective plate being over it. Obviously I wont make that mistake again. This is my first board where the pins are on the mobo side and...

    Newegg socket bent pin RMA? Sandybridge

    Hello I bought a Gigabyte SandyBridge board and the pins in the socket were bent, I think one was even broken when I looked at it with a magnifying glass. When I sent in the RMA request I was upfront about the pin situation and selected it as defective, and selected exchange. Note I am not...

    Hitachi 2TB Harddrive Owner's Thread

    Just did a surface scan with chkdsk. Now says 0KB. I think it was a false positive because SMART shows no reallocated sectors.

    Hitachi 2TB Harddrive Owner's Thread

    512KB bad sectors after a full format. Anyone else have any bad sectors? It passed both the quick and long drive fitness tests though.

    Seagate 400GB SATA $99.99

    Got mine very quickly. I selected the free ground shipping and got it the next day (today) that is very unusual for here. The sticker on the drive says 7200.10 so I guess I am one of the lucky ones :D

    Vista To Take Hard Stand Against Piracy

    QFT! Put me in the "sticking with XP" column. If a majority of games start requiring DirectX10 and won't support DirectX9 anymore then and only then will I upgrade, and I'll be sure to find a cheap student version of Home Premium. XP Professional still has a long life cycle (as far as...
