    Toughbook CF-33 problems

    I have a toughbook 33 that I use at work. It is running Windows 11. Lately, my pen and touchpad will stop working at the same time and the only to fix it is a reboot. If it was just one or the other I'd have a clear idea of the problem, but these are basically two different interfaces. The...

    HX620 power graphs

    Was bored tonight and had my PICO 4423 scope home from work, so I thought I'd take it after my Corsair HX620W PS and see just how steady the volts are. Note that this is with all the peripherals hooked up and the PC running. The PICO is hooked to my work laptop. So lets get started. Let's start...

    Question about COD5/MP in general

    This is a pretty simple question. Does MP COD5 share users from the consoles and PC or are they seperate server arrays? I've wondered this in the past about MP games that were on different consoles and PC too.

    Small suggestion for Corsair

    Just a small suggestion, but has Corsair thought of adding a fan speed lead out to their Power Supplies. Just installed a HX620 and I'm very pleased with it. I thought about the above because my previous PS had a lead out for PS Fan Speed and my MB had a PS Fan Speed header so I could see fan...
