You can't really let the best company win when many places have 1-2 viable options for an ISP

Bought this on a whim from a friend since I have a 30" monitor, but I don't game enough to justify it. No issues, comes with original box. Let me know if you have any questions or would like me to upload pics. Sapphire R9 290x 4GB DDR5 Battlefield 4 edition - $300 shipped Heatware: hiodie

You can try searching for Steampunk mods, they will sometimes incorporate copper lines. Rigid tubing in general is just less friendly to work with.

For those that don't want to read it :), I have this monitor and it does not have an OSD. It has brightness controls, but there is no scale to show you where you are. Not usually an issue though, since I just use my eyes as a measure anyways, not a number on a screen.

Pending AMD A8-3870K quad core processor and Asus F1A55-M micro ATX motherboard - comes with I/O shield and a generic AMD heatsink (no issues) - $80 shipped Link to pics (not sure if I can link to craigslist, so I can host the pictures on something else if needed) Heatware: hiode (32-0-0)

I'm still rocking a 60GB SSD (with Win7 x64) on my main desktop, so you can make due with 120/128. Of course I have to use symbolic links to a spinner for my games, but for the most part it isn't an issue.

You could always open up a window with a dark background on the spare monitor :D (wonder where to find one of those)

EDIT: Meant to edit my previous post. My previous build is using LGA 1366, but the difference in programs was not nearly as noticeable, maybe a few degrees.

I don't know if its just the new architectures, but LinX adds like 20 deg C on top of other stress tests I do, so I don't really use it on Haswell (don't have Ivy Bridge to compare). Prime or AIDA would give me ~70s and LinX (IBT) was over 90C. Not sure that is the most useful program for testing.

Not sure if you're being serious, but a single sheet is transparent. Can't exactly take a picture. SEM maybe, not sure if that would tear through it though.

It has been a while since I have looked, but I'm pretty sure graphene would make a terrible heatsink as it is only really conductive in the 2D plane, not between layers. Pretty much like using a diamond iirc.

EDIT: Alright, need to revise my statement, a lot of boards that are $100 and up have 4+ intel ports. Didn't realize they were still using SATAII on lower end boards. Do you have a socket preference? That would help a lot for recommendations. EDIT #2: Assuming you are talking about your x79...

I didn't realize this thing was so big :). When I see pictures I assume it has the same dimensions as an SG05/6 but maybe shorter in length. I think they should have just stopped at the top of the PSU.

There is still recoil...you cannot accelerate something that fast in a short distance without it pushing back..."for every force there is an equal and opposite..." something or other :)

Can you do HDMI over ethernet and just be hooked up directly to your PC? I haven't really looked into it at all, but unless the adapters add a lot of latency, it should be the fastest.

I should have a few in motherboard boxes I don't use. PM your address and I can get it out in the next couple days.

Deceiving as shit to have the pictures showing the ports not show the cooler sticking up....

My cards are not extremely top of the line, but when I used aftermarket cooling on my 6950 it was much quieter, probably close to silent in a quiet case. I think I was using the Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo, but they have more effective cooling for more $$$. I would think it would be sufficient for...

You can always build a system with a video card if you're concerned about gaming. Unless you *need* multiple expansion cards, most modern mini itx motherboards will offer the same features as full ATX boards. You will lose a few headers and maybe some overclocking potential, but it usually isn't...

I just did a fresh install of Win7 on a z87 board with a Crucial M500 drive and the boot time is definitely less than 15s to log on, probably around 10s. From a quick google search, NTLDR is only from Windows XP and older installations. Did you upgrade or start on an empty drive with a full copy...

Alright, thanks. I might try to make a baffle to direct some airflow under the mobo, but I don't think I will put any more effort into it.

I just received this board for a new office build, and I wanted to know if anyone else can tell me their temperatures for MSATA drives (for those that use them). I installed a Crucial M500 for my OS and it sits in the mid 50s (deg C). While this is in spec for the drive, I am uncomfortable with...

I would say ~50-60 processes is about right for W7 64. I have multiple things open right now and am sitting at 73...

Looking for 2.5" ATA/IDE drive on the cheap (~$10 shipped). Prefer something at least 30GB. I have some misc. hardware (DDR2 memory, fans, 8800GT that may work with baking, other stuff, no HDDs) if you would prefer a trade. Thanks

Bump for looking. What does potentially non-working on the SATA drives mean. Untested or known issues?

Fractal Node 304 has 6 internal bays, not sure if they need to be external for hot swapping or not.

Depends on the PSU. Some have multiple 12V rails and some just have a single (although I think there are far more single rails than 5 years ago when I paid more attention).

Building a PC at my job and I'm looking for any recommendations or changes. Haven't done much in the ITX area, so I'm not familiar with the best coolers and could use recommendations. Use will be ~90% web browsing/office and <10% CAD (Solidworks). Motherboard: Asrock Z87E-ITX - CPU placement...

Has anyone connected to the DP or True version using HDMI or DP with the HD 4600 chipset (looking at getting z87)? I am only using it for an office setting and would like to avoid buying a dedicated card if possible. Thanks.

Post my result on [H] for the epeen

Interested in cpu or mobo if parting out

Just wanted to let you know that I am also on Mindflayer...currently have ~25 DC and like a 52 GWF, but I feel like the GWF is lacking. I am on randomly, but would be interested in joining a guild. IGN hiodie@hiodie for DC

So I am trying to download the game, and after about 2-3 minutes of downloading, the client starts uploading and maxing out my connection on the upload (was at like 300 KB/s). I can change the QOS on it, but I have no idea what it could be uploading. I stopped it and tried to download it again...

Agreed...I wouldn't mind test flying an F16 or staying in the White House because I helped pay for it...

It hasn't been down that low for about a year now. Oct was around $12.
