Hey guys,
I have an HTPC/fileserver combo running Windows Server 2012 R2 and it needs a new sound card. Lots of cards seem to have hit or miss Windows Server driver support so I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation.
Must haves:
- Optical SPDIF out
- Dolby Digital Live encoding
- Work...
First of all thanks to LEETGION and [H] for sending me this mouse.
Here are my thoughts during unpacking. My points of reference are the various Razer and Logitech gaming mice I've owned (Diamondback, Deathadder, MX518, G400)
Pictures to come...
1. Pro: The mouse came in a very sexy package...
I want to ship something via UPS 2nd day air, and I'm wondering if:
1) Do UPS stores give out those express boxes for free (UPS website says they are free for any air service), even if you don't ship at the store right away?
and
2) If I do ship at the store is there a surcharge and/or sales...
Now that the prices on these ZBoxs have dropped below $250 I'm looking to pick one up for a HTPC, but I'm having trouble deciding which version to get:
AD04: AMD E-450 Zacate w/ HD6320
ID80: Intel Atom D2700 w/ nV GT520m
ID81: Intel Celeron M857 ULV w/ ????
My main criteria is the level...
Need some cheap parts for an HTPC build:
- 2GB or 4GB DDR3-1333/1600 SO-DIMMs (prefer matched pairs but will consider single sticks)
- 50-128GB SSD, TRIM required, SATA II is fine
Just saw that thread in AMD section, wondering what the current gen nVidia cards are like, especially comparisons between 670 vs 680 vs 690.
I'll start, one of my 680's reads 100% and the other reads 97%.
PS. To read ASIC quality download GPU-Z 0.6.2, click on the icon on the top left...

Barely bigger than my sound card. Heh. Wonder if they kept the heat sink big just so people can feel like it's a high end card. Edit: also wondering if they kept the 680 a full size board...
Basically I want a backup card that works with current Catalyst drivers (so HD2xxx and up), and can fit in a single slot. Looking to spend $15 or less (you can find these easy on eBay for that much). If it's low profile it must have a full profile bracket.
I know lots of you have one...

Edit: As ziddey pointed out this drive uses Toggle NAND
OK so we all know the E5-2600 series are BCLK strap locked but what about the E5-1600 series or E3-1200's? I know they're all multiplier locked but I couldn't find any information on whether those can be overclocked by BCLK. Anyone have one of these CPUs and care to share?
I have a Deathadder 3.5G that has a slight problem. Once every week or so it would start disconnecting and reconnecting (I hear the USB connect/disconnect sounds). Wiggling the cord around seems to fix it so I'm guessing there's a loose wire somewhere. I don't have the patience to take the...
Not sure if this fits in programming or gaming ;). I don't remember a time when I've been this excited to write assembly...

So I have a suspicion that coil whine is more due to component and assembly quality than the design of the cards themselves. For example I've rarely seen eVGA cards do the whine while XFX cards almost always do it. Let's find out!
Please only answer this if you have a discrete card with at...
I won one of the Corsair Christmas bundles and I really have no use for a lot of the nice hardware. So here they are for sale, along with a bunch of other stuff. All prices are semi-firm and include shipping to CONUS; you're welcome to make an offer. Will post pictures on request. I'm the...
Anyone getting (or not getting) texture artifacts when running Batman AC in DX11 with SLI? It shows up as a texture flickering for distant objects (see 1:35 in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fHl0N1aiyk). Settings are maxed, specs in sig. This happens on both the latest beta and...

Anyone have one of these? Looks like an awesome way to finally play FPS's on the 360 without the annoyance of stick aiming.
Also, inb4 mousing on consoles is cheating.

Bit on this deal because:
1) It's the cheapest 280 from the "Big Three" outside of eBay, with full step-up and warranty goodness.
2) No rebates!!
The component output from my Wii is way too bright. I can't adjust my monitor down enough to compensate for the brightness - even at the lowest settings all the grey colors look white. I don't have this problem using S-Video output from the Wii or connecting anything else using component...
Recently got a Q6600 and IP35-Pro so I'm liquidating these soon-to-be extra parts.
I run them at 3200 MHz day-to-day, rock stable. Here's an orthos screenshot:
The CPU will also do 3400 MHz (8x425) orthos stable if the voltage is bumped to 1.475.
