    Corsair CS550M 550W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Kind of sad to see Corsair dropping quality of components back while keeping price points so high. Just looking at Newegg right now, this psu is selling at $100 and free shipping. But, you can get 3 Seasonic Gold-rated 550 watt power supplies for less than that price, with one of them being...

    Windows 8.2 Will Make Start Menu An Option?

    I've gone through most of this thread until your post and you have come closest to the points I have against Win8. And agree with, BTW. With the path that Microsoft took with 8's myriad of changes to the basic feel of this OS, they alienated people like me big time. Unlike a bunch of folks...

    OCZ Plans Bankruptcy Filing

    I seem to remember back when I first joined these forums many years ago that Kyle would ban your ass if you even mentioned the "Overc Store", which was the predecessor to the present OCZ. I don't know what had gone down to piss him off so bad, but he sure didn't like them back then. :) EDIT - I...

    Apple Looking to Create a Pandora Rival

    I read that this "service" (if actually launched) will not be available on Android devices too. Which suits me fine, since I don't use an iPhone but a Nexxus and I find that Pandora does me fine. And since I already subscribe to Rhapsody I have a paid for alternative that does have an app for...

    Microsoft Confirms $15 Windows 8 Upgrade

    Let's see, last time I bought a new computer with a new Windows OS version on the horizon was with Vista and I got a free upgrade to Win 7. Why should I pay for an upgrade this time, for an OS that won't bring me any important improvements since I wouldn't be buying anything with a touch...

    EVGApes

    Figured I would drop by to say that I've switched some machines over to fold for you guys for some days under the OCFthanks[H] name, to help pay back the help you all gave Team 32. I normally don't fold, but rather run Rosetta and Seti on BOINC (old time folder with bad experiences with older...

    Stupid Bulletproof Vest Video of the Day

    Maybe this idiot should be persuaded to put the vest on as drawers and then shoot himself in the nads. For sure, this idiot needs to be neutered, just to keep his genes out of the pool. :p

    German Courts Order Apple To Cease iPhone / iPad Sales?

    With all the patent trolling Apple has been doing lately, this just sounds soooo good they're on the wrong end this time and right before Christmas too. :D Go Motorola!!!

    Enermax Platimax 850W Drawing!!!!!!!!!!

    In for a psu. As for what Enermax product I would use for my next build, well this Enermax Platimax 850W would do just fine and a decent upgrade in power to my present Seasonic.

    Corsair ram kicks ass because of the quality of their ram and especially because of the service and support Corsair provides if you have problems or bad ram.

    Finally, Broadband Satellite with Real Speed

    I'm presently on a sat connection on a rig in the Gulf of Mexico and just pinged google; had ping times of 600-700 ms. And this is a business connection and not Hugesnet shit too. And until Bellsouth decided to let me get dsl all I had available at the house was Hughesnet, those bastards...

    Seasonic X-560 Give-Away! 3 PSUs!

    I'm looking for a more efficient psu to replace an older unit in a secondary system at the house. I just bought an X650 for my main system and was very impressed with the quality of it.

    When Tech Goes Too Far

    This looks like another prime candidate for a tire/gasoline BBQ like they do to the road cameras in the UK. :D I wonder how well a £50,000 setup like that will last when lit up with a tire filled with gas?

    q9550 oc

    elite.mafia, I have seen people posting results at >4 GHz with them, but you are going to have to have a board and ram that can run those speeds. I would suggest that you temporarily back the multi down to 6 or so and see what kind of fsb headroom your board and ram give you. Once you know what...

    Q9650 to Core i5 750

    Yeah, it might score higher in benchmarks but I can hardly notice a perceivable difference between my QX9650@4 GHz and my 980X@4 GHZ in day to day stuff. I've been trying to tune the 980X since I got it, so I still have the QX950 as my main system for now. I haven't tried looking at how much...

    Amazon Facing Heat From Third Publisher Over Book Price Issue

    Yep, I agree with this too. These greedy bastards just don't have a clue what they will get into by screwing people with outrageous pricing for something that is minimal cost to distribute. I guess it's time I look into using torrents for my book wants instead of getting screwed by "the...

    Tuniq Propeller vs. Thermalright Venemous X @ [H]

    Thanks for the review guys. Your testing on the Venomous X has pretty much shown what I have seen with the testing I have done with it, an original lapped TRUE, TRUE rev C , lapped Cu TRUE and also a Megahalems. They are all within a couple of degrees of each other on performance. I believe what...

    XFX Black Edition 850W PSU Review @ [H]

    The only problem I really see with this psu is that you can now buy the M12D for less than $160 and the HX850 for less than $170. All would be a great choice for a new build or a replacement psu, but the Seasonic and Corsair units are cheaper, with at least as good a warranty as the XFX.

    Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 Revision B & C Review @ [H]

    Kyle, were these retail bought samples or samples supplied by Thermalright? I ask because my experience with Thermalright's heatsinks shows me that their base finish and flatness is very variable, especially in the Ultra120-TRUE series of heatsinks. I had an Ultra120 that had an absolutely...

    Worst Cities For Jobs

    Did any of you check out the Best Cities List? Looks like a good part of them are southern cities, with 7 out of the top 10 being Texas cities and even Louisiana has 2 cities in the top 20. But, like others have said, it's all relative; the economy down here pretty much sucks too right now. The...

    Is Your Ultra 750W X2 PSU Really a 550W?

    With Ultra pulling crap like this, why should I even consider buying a psu from them? I know that they do have some good ones in their lineup, but they also have turds like this winner too. I would much rather put my hard earned money down on a psu from a manufacturer that doesn't try to put a...

    Hotmail Upgraded – Whether You Want It or Not

    I think it sucks because they removed the email size from the new format. I use my hotmail account at work, which is on drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. We are on a shared sat broadband connection and I have a few friends that insist on sending me crap with large attachments. And in order to...

    Lady Steals From Work To Pay Nigerian Scammer

    Newegg.com Deals 7/29

    EVGA nForce 780i SLI @ [H]

    I enjoyed reading the review guys, but I wish that you had also included a DDR2 board using the X38 or X48 chipset in the comparisons. That would have been a more comparable setup to the 780i board and would have been interesting to see if it would have showed the same weaknesses in gameplay as...

    Mega-Heatsink Roundup - 0407 @ [H]

    Yeah, I realize that it would have thrown a whole lot more testing and variables in the equation to test everything as delivered and I do understand why you did the testing with the same fan where possible. And I have done some heatsink tesing myself and know just how much time it takes to go...

    Mega-Heatsink Roundup - 0407 @ [H]

    A good review, but I think you should have done a couple of additions and substitutions in the article. I would have much rather you have used an Intel Quad processor as they are much harder to cool than the E6420 used for testing, especially when overclocked. This would have really maximized...

    OCZ 1000w Power Supply Duel @ [H]

    Great review Paul. I hope with the reorganization of the front page that you guys keep the great psu reviews coming in. After all, if it weren't for people like you and jonnyGURU we wouldn't have reviews that actually tell us about the psu besides stuff like "it looks purty" and "it's got some...

    30 Days with Mac OS X @ [H]

    I for one found the article to be pretty well done, if a little rambling at times, and very informative. I have no experience with the OSX operating system or any Mac machine but it isn't for lack of trying to find an affordable option recently. While the Mac Pro is fully competitive in it's...
