    SAmsung 245bw user review

    I also use the 245BW and it has been amazing for me. Easily far better than every other monitor I have used. I run it with a Apple 20" monitor, and I always hate having to look over to the Apple to hit next song on iTunes. A lot of people have problems with it, but I got it for 329 AR (CC...

    Want Cool Temps on your 8800GT?

    When a picture doesn't fit in a 1920x1200 monitor without scrolling, it may be time to resize.

    HD x5 Bays?!?!?!

    The price difference of the Supermicro and the others is minimal, so I think I'm sold on the supermicro. What I'd really like is 5 in 3 setup that is fully internal. I'm not worried about the depth of the drive bay system as the v1200 has plenty of space.

    8GB Overkill?

    I'm going to guess because you're a sucker and don't know how to spend money? Ok I'll give you benefit of the doubt and say you use it for a hardware firewall.

    HD x5 Bays?!?!?!

    I have a Lian Li PC-V1200 that I'm looking at watercooling, this means I need to get my 5HDs out of the lower rack and into the three empty 5" bays I have. So far I've found: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121405 (Supermicro 5bay hot-swappable) and a variety of...

    8GB Overkill?

    teehee I just realized he also has a PhysX card. What type of sucker buys both a KillerNIC and PhysX card then only gets 2GB of ram? Come on if you're going to blow money do it with style!

    8GB Overkill?

    I find it terribly amusing someone that spent $200+ on a Killer NIC is attacking another person for buying 8GB of ram because it's "money wasted." Since you're not using it all the time... seriously wow. As for me, I'm running 8GB of ram because: 1. 8GB of DDR2 800 at 4-4-4-12 costs less...

    Intel TAT and/or CoreTemp on Vista x64 - Is it possible?

    I believe intel has said over and over again that TAT is not designed for any of the newer multiple core CPUs and will give rather inaccurate temperature readings.

    Are they ever going to fix the "video driver stopped respond" problem in vista?

    /signed It is a hardware problem. I was able to, through some tweaking, introduce and remove this problem from my system. I found it to be a problem of a USB header shorting. For you it could be literally anything. I would mostly suggest you strip your computer down to just the basics...

    Benchmarking the Benchmarks @ [H]

    Actually since they use Fraps to measure frame-rate, the best way to increase the reliability would be to have whoever is analyzing the Fraps output be "blind." I love your idea of having a blind hardware test, but that would be very time consuming and/or require multiple rigs, which of course...

    Benchmarking the Benchmarks @ [H]

    The "real world" tests are great for a person buying their very first video card, where they have no point of reference. The average [H] reader already has a pretty good idea of how well their current system works. Time Demo based benchmarks provide a method to say "If I upgraded my 6800GT to...

    To Raid or Not to Raid

    The idea of losing 1.5tb of data, of which my dissertation research will be part of, was too much to bear. I don't think I'll lose out to much on performance to make the risk of loss worthwhile. I am though pondering the idea of ordering a third drive and going for Raid5.

    To Raid or Not to Raid

    Picked up a pair of 7500AAKS drives. Seemed to have the best balance of performance, capacity, and price. I'm planning on reinstalling Windows on the new drives, but I can't decide if I should Raid0 them or not. I've read the storage review article on the benefits and disadvantages of...

    Kyle VS Anand on the 3870X2

    Like I said, I've been there. Ya I've been bashed. People have even claimed I was employed by OCZ because I was willing to test their products when everyone else said they were evil and should never be supported. The point is to have the best review, it's not a personal attack, it's fact...

    Kyle VS Anand on the 3870X2

    Eh the real point of my post is to say. Look just using one form of testing will always be flawed. "Canned" tests take so very little time there's no point in not doing them. The "real world" method is also great. Now put them together and BAM you've got the best review possible...

    Kyle VS Anand on the 3870X2

    I'm really enjoying this debate. *snip* Time to suck it up Mr. Bennett, you either got a bum card or your testing method really really is not fair. I must say though that your "real world testing" method, while intuitive, is only good when you can perfectly reproduce the results. It's like...

    Just got my Lian Li V1000B!!! (PICS)

    What length SATA cables are people using with this case? I want to hide all my cabling and am thinking about ordering 36" (3ft) cables. Would the 24" (2ft) cables suffice to route behind the case? SATA connecters are at the "base" of the board by South Bridge (Asus Maximus Formula)

    Lian Li V1200 Build Question

    Pictures soon to come! Question though: What length SATA cables should I order to be able to loop around the back of the motherboard tray? I'm very sure that the 12" cables that came with the motherboard won't cut it.

    Hi I'm a Noob (aka Q6600 OC first attempt)

    I assume 1.38vcore is not optimal. Any ideas on what might work best?

    The World's Most Elegant & Luxurious Aluminum PC Case: Windy Soldam / Abee AS

    Sucks to hear at least one person seems to have gotten ripped off by this. :( I love how the pictures of the "personal" case came off some blog about these cases.
