I bought this SSD myself about a month ago. No problems at all. Performance is great too. The only thing I miss is software. Samsung SSD magician is really good. The OCZ software isn't as good but it does allow you to run the trim command. If you dont mind optimizing the OS on your own for an...

After my last 3 driver updates (344.16 and newer) I notice at the beginning of the driver install, It says uninstalling previous drivers for a few seconds. I used to do a fresh install of windows going from an nvidia and amd card or vice versa. After the 4 weeks with GTX 980 article kyle made it...

Cord Never here. Moved out of my parents in 2009. Got 100Mbps with comcast for 75 a month. They call me often trying to push 6 months free premium cable for no charge. I tell them I have no TV but I do have 3 Computers in a one bedroom apartment

I think you'll be fine as most tech articles have said if you have sandy bridge you don't need to upgrade. The only question I think is relevant is if your motherboard supports PCIe 3.0. Some P67s do some don't. Even so 780Ti SLI will give you a big jump in GPU performance. Also your overclock...

I've got mine at 4.4 with 1.28V. I can run 4.5 but its not stable.4.5GHZ Works at DDR1600 speeds. 4.4Ghz works at DDR 2400. Not sure which is better. 4.6Ghz is a no go. I had to upgrade because of SATA 3 SSDs and PCIe3, Which all of my other stuff used but i wasnt getting the advantage with a...

I have used SeaTools to Fix bad sectors on many of my drives. It works for that but nothing else. Keep in mind I have about 8 seagate drives in my multiple computers, with multiple drives in them. Only 2 of them have made me use SeaTools and when the bad sectors are fixed they have worked fine.

I recently bought a WD RE 4TB drive. You're scaring me! I wouldn't touch the "Green" Drives though. Hope everything works out

I love this Retro 3DFX stuff. I had a Moster Fusion, and a Voodoo3 3500. The Vodoo3 3500 was in a spare/donor system I gave away, when the friend threw it out I grabbed the Voodo3 3500 and have it in my closet since about 2008

Leaving past issues out, as you're considering buying a 650 ti Boost. AMDs drivers are amateur at best, Proof is the article HardOCP recently put up that the newest catalyst drivers catching the 7970 up to the GTX 680, which Absolutely Annihilated the 7970 on Launch. Oh, but a year later AMD...

I Just bought a Maximus VI Hero for my haswell build and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400. The way I see it many say that 8 is plenty these days. But the max on my mobo is 32GB. So I'm halfway there. Add another of the same kit if 32GB becomes a necessity (not likely).

I went to microcenter and bought a 4770K on Friday. They didn't have the Maximus Hero VI only the Extreme. I really wanted the $40 off but didn't justify another $120 in mobo price. Coincidentally, it doesn't even look like they carry the Hero board (checked via website). Only bought the Proc...

I have bought many parts through newegg since about 2001. Most of the parts were ok but RAM was defective all the time. Dealing with them for exchanges wasn't bad at all. Giving about a week to send them the defective ones and send me new ones. In 2008 I wanted to build a PC from scratch (like...

Good move. I love my GTX 680. I lost all respect for AMD with my 4890. Nvidia all the way!

I too am on the X58 with a 920. I was waiting for haswell, but with lackluster reviews, guess i'll wait until christmas time to see if IB-E pans out

I am not a fanboy of any company at any time. But AMD has gone further and further off the rails for enthusiasts. I used to say if AMD came out with something faster than intel, I would build a system on it immediately. Now it's so bad I want to see 2 generations to be sure it's not a fluke. I'm...

Awesome now AMDs IPC is so bad they're trying to push GHz like intel did 2001-2002. Guess the "more cores for your money" strategy didn't work either. I used AMD from the K6-2 400 until the Athlon XP days. When Core2 Duo came out I abandoned AMD and never looked back. Wherever the performance is...

You have to have AHCI enabled in BIOS before you install OS. I actually installed a Samsung 830 SSD on my X58 without ahci enabled. Will not boot until you reinstall / format however you want to handle it. Also remember enabling AHCI is only applicable to the ports you are enabling it on.

Asus GTX 680. GTX 280 secondary. Had 2 4890s at one point but now I hate ATI

Thanks for the input. I treat each computer as a separate entity. Meaning only my GTX 680 will enter the Haswell when I build it. As for this Q9300 system is concerned I was hoping to find a newer GPU that would have better FPS in metro 2033, crysis (at very high averages 20-25fps),and maybe...

a GTX 650 Ti is really faster than the GTX 280. I want to know because comparisons against cards this far appart from each other are not often covered in articles.

I have a fairly old computer I built in 2008 specs are Cooler Master CM 690 "Nvidia Edition" XFX Nforce 790 Ultra motherboard 8GB corsair XMS DDR3 1600 Intel Core2 Q9300 Geforce GTX 280 Samsung SSD 830 128GB seagate 1TB secondary HD Corsair TX750 Power supply I'm Looking to buy a new...

dont buy a 7950 seriously. look at the Nvidia 670

I had the last round of AMD cards and have found Nvidia to be much smoother. I lived on newegg for a month to get one 680 when i did i was not dissappointed. My specs are similar to yours. you might lose a few frames a second compared to Z68 Z77 but not much

No, get a 680. if thats not enough get 2. I have a 680 it's totally worth it. I had an ATI or AMD card that sucked due to drivers

I like the EVGA as well. I've been on auto notify for newegg since these came out and still can't get one. The one time i was notified by email that the EVGA Superclocked+ was available I jumped on a nearby computer and put it in my cart. Then it said removed from cart due to insufficent stock

I saw the Galaxy version on there yesterday. Nothing now. Im waiting for the Superclocked to be available,

I just dont like the fact that the GTX295 is a GTX260 SLI in one card. having two 280s would make it look pointless. I wish they had made a better X2 card. Plus i am trying to stay below 350$ due to the fact Ive upgraded too much in the past year.

Ive noticed the GTX 280 right now is still more expensive than the 4890. THe real question is if the 4890 is better then a 280. Im leaving out the 285 because it has shown negligible increases compared to the 280. And a distant second is the 275 on par or not as good as the 280

My system is in my signature and I have built a 2nd computer since September last year (790i 4Ghz wolfdale) Im looking to put something better than a GTX 280 in my Core i7 system to move the GTX 280 to my second setup. So, GTX295? dont like the price. GTX275, isnt that a lower model?? ATI...

Thats a prerelease driver because im running windows 7. All my bios settings regarding PCIe are auto and PCIx init first. I put this card in my friends computer with a EVGA X58 Core i7 and CPUz and GPUz both read x4. Im starting to blame the card itself. Anybody out there know where to get the...

Doesnt post on either of the other two slots. I get beeps that equal no video card. I guess you're not supposed to install a video card alone in the other two slots. I am running windows 7 7068 but i dont think that should make a difference

Its in the First slot i'll try the middle one. the 790i is x16 on all three slots I get around 22fps on very high

Ive got the setup in my sig and I recently noticed in CPUz that my PCIe lane was set at x4. I googled it and most of the time people were stuck at x1 and RMAed it. I ran everest Ultimate and GPUz they also read x4. Is there a setting im missing or do i have a bad card? Or do these report wrong...

Demonoid got away with it maybe TPB will too

I live in Illinois and bought the P6T non deluxe from microcenter and three times it was defective. First one had two bad RAM slots, Second one had one bad slot. Third didnt post. At this point i was pretty dissapointed at ASUS. Ive been using them almost exclusively since 2000 (A7M AMD 750)...

I had the Lionsquare on a XFX 790i Ultra board. Went and bought a EVGA X58 because im done with Nvidia motherboards and not only does the lionsquare not fit, but there is no kit to put it on a socket 1366. so i needed a new heatsink unexpectedly. Got a Thermalright 120 All copper. WOW this...

I bought the Corsair HX100W because the Amperage on the 12V rails on the antecs were pitiful. On my antec trio 650W 19A corsair 1000w 40A. Ive been using antecs exclusively since 2001. Times are changing. I have a 350 , 400 , 550neoHE , and trio 650 antec just to let you know

Yeah really hot 75C should be at full load for real.

Nice lists out there mine isnt quite as long but I remember it perfectly 3DFX Voodoo Banshee (Diamond) {some 166mhz MMX rig} Geforce 32MB SDR (guillemot) {Athlon 550mhz} Geforce2 MX (Guillemot) {Athlon 850 Tbird} Geforce2 PRO (guillemot) sam as above} Radeon 9500 Bios Flashed to 9700 {p4...

I never Had a good quality PNY card. Asus on the other hand is unquestionable. I would go ASUS on name reliability / loyalty. I had to present this side of the story. PNYs RAM is garbage and their Video Cards are no better
