I have an odd issue that has cropped up. I have an Asrock Z77 Extreme4 with an AMD 7950 boost Gpu. With the case right side up, it won't boot, giving an error code 62 on the diagnostic LEDs on the board. Flipping the case upside down, the machine boots fully without issue. Removing the...

AnyDVD HD or MakeMKV. Make MKV was my choice.

Sony MDR-V6 would be a good choice as well. These are the standard in many studios.

Hello, 1. SOLD - I'm offering my 10 bay low-power NAS build up for sale for $150 plus shipping. This is ready to go for Unraid, FreeNAS, etc. The build consits of: Antec 300 case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 Cooler Master 4 in 3 drive cage -...

Thanks for the update. I have always had a fantastic experience with SuperMicro.

Have to agree that this looks like a great board but they need to drop / change their branding.

I lusted after that monitor for so many years. I'm happy to see this thread.

Shouldn't this be folded back into the nVidia Video cards forum? At this point, it would be like having a G-sync or Mantle forum category.

No problem using the promedia satellites plugged directly into an AVR. Just ditch the broken subwoofer etc and buy something new. Alternately, you could buy a BASH 300 watt amp from Parts Express to power the sub. You will still need the AVR for the satellites, and the price of the PE...

I recently used KDEnlive on Linux (I use mint 16), with great results.

I'm staying away from Plex, as they are moving into software as a service territory and want you to pay a monthly fee. I have a issue with that and so run Xbmc, which you can run on almost anything. I'm going to buy a couple of the new bay trail NUCs for bedroom systems , myself.

can you crossfire a 7950 and 7950 boots together?

Other than the kingston, any suggestions on SSDs, now that this is dead?

does it mention anywhere how much power this will do in its fanless mode?

It looks like this has enough room to not need a modulay PSU. Do you think I can cram an older Seasonic 650W in here without issue?

is Corsair.com the only current place to buy this case (who can ship immediately)?

I would use a toslink (optical) digital input decide your amplifier choice for you. It really doesn't matter if you come out analog either, since you have a nice soundcard. That being said, the onkyo is actually a nice amp, from what I can tell. I haven't owned any of their amps, except for...

That's my thinking as well. I was looking at the boards and am just going to get a Z77 part. They are in short supply so i will either get that one at Newegg or grab one on ebay. I don't need wireless 802.11AC, but can replace the mini pcie with an intell 802.11AC adapter for $30.

I've had the privilege of meeting Andrew Jones a few times and he is awesome. Interesting, he has a twin brother Owen, who is equally bright in audio but with amplifiers and electronics. Together, they are a bit of a dream team for audio engineering.

We should be rooting for a healthy nVidia. We need to develop an open eco-system for mobile as was done for PC and nVidia has the opportunity to do so, with their worldclass desktop GPU drivers now available on an ARM platform. I just hope that nVidia starts getting some significant design...

There is one Panasonic with display port, where this may be the case. Otherwise, no, that is just for computer monitors, like the ASUS PQ321. They use Displayport MST and do two displayport links and so they support 3840x2160 60P at 4:4:4. Asus is also launching a TN panel this year that...

looks like I just missed the deal at TD.

It seems that Z77 boards are drying up quickly. I am considering moving my main desktop rig to a mini-itx HTPC / living room gaming system. It currently consists of a i7-3770k, Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 and an AMD 7950 boost. I wanted to move to ITX, with a corsair 250D (after reading the...

If I may ask, what lead you to those, in particular?

Audessy and so-called room correction is a bit of a crap shoot. The results are not repeatable enough. Good placement and a mini dsp is the way I've ended up.

I would certainly take a quality integrated over an AVR for this application.

Well, I speak for myself and not my employer etc. I currently work at Sony (for the last three years) and have been involved in launching their hi-res audio players and Reference and ES speakers (which are amazing if you have the coin). I used to work at a company called BG Radia (bgcorp.com)...

CDs do not have copy protection that needs to be circumvented. The laws on the book preventing this stem from the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act). This even presents 3rd party printer ink, in some cases. Just go ahead and rip your movies if you own them. This is the least of...

Fluance is terrible. They look decent on the outside but are really poorly engineered. I'm not familiar from EMP Tek. FWIW, I've worked in the A/V industry for 15 years, including almost 10 at speaker manufacturers.

Yes, HDMI supports 8 channels of high res audio and is your best bet. I would recommend a good piece of software like J river media center for managing your library and doing playback. It has a good 10' interface as well. I also really like XBMC for that purpose as well.

Seiki and Hisense are releasing HDMI 2.0 (cheap) TVs this year that will do 4K 60P 4:2:0. We need video cards that will do that as well.

Wow, TastyPC. Good find.

I have a 9800GT and 9600GT (with passive accelero cooler) that I gave to my brother and put in my daughters computer that have been going for 5+ years.
