haha thanks for the corrections guys

I remember hearing that the CPU code with Physx was locked to x85 instructions and didn't use x86 or SSE instructions or threading. The result is that on CPU, the code runs at less than half the speed that it can run at, and also being proprietary Nvidia would sue anyone that tried to improve...

Delid or get a new one, the thermal paste on a 4770k is crap but it sounds like you have a worse one than usual.

I'm dispatch 26 too, it hasn't arrived at my home office. I guess the packages are driving from the west to the east coast. I'm in Pennsylvania.

□ Case: Ncase M1 □ CPU: 4770K □ CPU Cooler: Apogee Drive II □ MB: Asus Z87I-Deluxe √ RAM: Samsung Magic RAM √ SSD: 60+120GB SSDs □ GPU: 290X □ GPU cooling: EK full cover block □ PSU: SilverStone SFF 450w Gold □ Radiator...

I'm glad to have found this out now rather than later. I haven't ordered that PSU yet thank goodness. I see a lot of people "planning" to use the ST45SF-G PSU with a 290x and 4770K. Is this SFX power supply sufficient for this much hardware? You definitely don't want to do Prime and Furmark...

Ordered my cooling parts! :) EK Radeon R9-290X VGA Liquid Cooling Block - Acetal + Nickel (EK-FC R9-290X - Acetal+Nickel) Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra 100% Metal Thermal Interface Material Swiftech MCR220 "Quiet Power" 2 x 120mm Radiator w/ Reservoir (MCR220-QP Res. R2) Swiftech Apogee Drive II...

Thanks! Quite a bit over actually hahaha. The one with the reservoir is listed at 299.2mm, I'll use that.

Almost ready to order my parts, got another clearance question: This MCR220-DRIVE radiator has a pump included but requires 60mm of clearance from the last screw on the side with the pump. (I know reservoir side fits since that's the same as the 220). Can anyone check whether this would fit...

Cool! I thought, until I saw it is out of stock at Newegg, Amazon, and the Cooler Master store. LOL

Thank you! Now I remember why I got this case :) it's perfect. Bad memory is bad. Too bad Swiftech H220 was banned from sale in the USA, the only other choice for an expandable all-in-one loop is Cooler Master's Eisberg 240L Prestige.(correct me if I'm wrong). Trying to decide between this and...

I have the case on order, but something just hit me. I intended to watercool the GPU, will something like this have enough clearance in the case to connect? http://rog.asus.com/276232013/news/koolance-releases-amd-r9-290x-water-block/

Does this mean the end of CPU folding in a year or two? Once it runs Folding one CPU with 4 of these bad boys (off Ebay) would beat any quad-CPU setup right? Price would of course be a factor and Folding needs to support so many threads, but the raw processing power.....

Do externals count? Like the Asus Xonar Essence One, Nuforce DAC-100 or Benchmark DAC-1USB give a superb headphone amplifier plus regular audio out for your sound system.

I use the Spyder 3 express for my 27in Samsung, it's no frills and simple to use but the before and after image differences are stunning. I don't know if it is better than other 100$ calibrators though. Here's the $105 Spyder 4 express...

Obvious the easiest way to avoid the asteroid is to build a rocket engine that can move the Earth :D Solve global warming that way too, two bird heck yeah.

I agree, ask yourself what is needed, design a little, code a little, get others' opinions, refine designs, code more, perform formal demo, get feedback, wrap up coding and switch to polishing.

Well, the 120GB version I installed for my parents, with a brand new install of windows 7, it boots so fast the windows 7 logo doesn't have time to form lol. (The animation where 4 pieces come together). Still, it's not an "upgrade" over the agility 3.

use promocode EMCYTZT2321 for 15$ off ends 10/8 (one day only) I got the 120GB version for my parents, I think this is a hot deal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239375

Your idle temperature is pretty high, I paused my folding@home program and my 3930K at 1.5V idles at 26C. My room temperature is 21C. I really suggest checking your CPU to waterblock contact and thermal paste. Did you take the cover off your CPU and redo the internal paste? Not that I'm...

I didn't clean my parts at all and when draining the water after 1/2 a year the liquid looked completely clean. To sell water cooling parts they have to leak test it with the maximum rated PSI, so that process probably cleans it as well.

Supply and demand, believe it or not retailers know that unsold electronics depreciate over time so they will price their goods to clear inventory.

Placed my order at amazon: ASUS Intel H77 mini ITX Motherboard - P8H77-I Cisco AM10 Valet Connector USB Wireless Adapter (10$ FS) Antec ISK 310-150 Black Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case 150 Watt Power Supply Samsung 8X Slim Internal DVD Writer 216$ in total, will spend another 130$ for CPU and...

Thanks Zap for your comments, they confirm a lot of what I was thinking. This is just personal preference, I like the front for the 310-150 better so I've decided on this. I will look into those two USB WiFi you mentioned. I got 2 of those 20$ sticks :) I purposely chose the HD 4000, it's...

Well, it's for my dad so a spinning thing is familar and balances out the shock of the size decrease. There's also the half-height slot to consider, in case I need to add something.

Not at all, external dvd drive is ok as long as I can install windows. To be honest, after taking another look at the Antec ISK 310-150, it doesn't look that bad after all. It has both a slim dvd slot plus half-height expansion, there's really nothing else more feature complete.

Hi all, I'm looking to build a half-height mini-ITX tower as a workstation computer. The components I'm fairly sure about are: Core i3 3225 (130$) 2x4 GB Samsung 30nm DDR3 RAM (45$) 128GB SSD 500GB HDD DVD drive For motherboard, I'm considering: ASUS P8H77-I (100$) These have WiFi built in...

it lets you turn the knob from 11 to 12

Out of the question? No. There's simply nothing out there that you can buy today though,

No synergy at all. Investing in NAND production would still make them years and years behind the other manufacturers in a field where prices are dropping rapidly.

How much efficiency would be lost in just running 2 BigAdv clients for now (versus 2 4P rigs)? With the 8P even if you can't run one client right now, you're future proofed for when that many threads become supported, and I can see the PPD being epic.

I'm unblocked! Resellerratings is the way to go, thanks everyone who provided me with tips. I was contacted about my review and even offered a 30$ discount towards a future purchase. The discount doesn't really matter in light of the crazy amount of money I spend on NE but it appears the...

Ok, I posted something informative and somewhat long to both resellerratings and facebook, let's see what happens. I would have rated Newegg 5/5 except for this incident that consumed 2 weeks of my time (to date) for something Newegg's customer service practices could and should have...

I'll make posts on facebook and resellerratings like that guy then, maybe a non-zero change of success like Newegg's customer service.

If there was a reversed transaction or chargeback, why do they keep claiming that the transaction was successful? I'd think it would be simple enough for customer reps to say "your account was locked because there is a chargeback on a delivered item" and the customer would say "oh! let me see...

Nice! I'm pretty sure someone will eventually get 4 of those Intel Xeon E7-8870 ES 10-Core CPUs floating around on Ebay and hit over a mil ppd.

In the end, no luck, their fraud department isn't reachable so I can't even be sure what they are mistaken about. I send off a final email to Freddy, he's trying but when the company doesn't give their employees the tools to service their customers, there's nothing he can do on my behalf...

In the end, Newegg was not able to resolve this issue internally. Their system showed that payment was made while the credit card company said that payment was not, and the credit company wins that argument. In a three-way phone conversation, the representative at my major credit card company...

I got through to my credit card company's fraud department today and they are contacting Newegg directly, I am now waiting for them to contact me back (they called Newegg and the wait was 1hr so I told them to try again at a less busy time).

Well, 3Ghz ram are actually 1600Mhz native DDR3 chips binned and OCed, and people have gone higher than 3Ghz . I don't think it's unreasonable to ask when the 2133 chips will be available since Micron announced volume production started this Summer.
