    Questions about UPS stores

    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...

    600 series ASIC quality?

    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...

    Xeon E3-12xx/E5-16xx and strap locks

    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...

    GPU coil whine / squeal poll by brand

    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...
