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...

When will Micron's 2133 30nm chips will appear in consumer products? Looking forward to cheaper 3Ghz ram and seeing people reach 4Ghz.

About 2 weeks ago, my credit card company contacted me that a possible fraudulent charge was made to one of my cards. After going over the details, I agreed (the charge was made on the other side of the country - USA) and terminated this credit card with the credit card company sending me a...

Weird thing happened. My 5Ghz overclock didn't remain stable, this wasn't a surprise in of itself. When my screen turned blank and the case fan on the front of the case started squealing, I leaned over and smelled smoke. I held the power off and the computer shut down, I took the case side off...

Hi guys, I just created one to post outside my cubicle, if anyone else have done this also and don't mind sharing, please post. Credit where credit is due, I stole the design from "http://forums(dot)us(dot)ncix(dot)com/forums/topic.php?id=1032843" (sorry if ncix links are banned, I'm not sure...

For those of you that know Folding@Home, every little bit of performance in CPU and Memory helps and I made a decision a week ago to overclock my rig to it's limits (think: red zone, failure imminent, power inefficient, do not emulate). I wanted to post a little bit of information though I...

This update made my machine not only Prime unstable, but Fold unstable. Instant crash eeesh for both..... (Win 7 64-bit Pro) It may be unique to my setup (see sig), but I wanted to post a user beware. I re-installed 11.11 and Priming now, seems stable after 5 loops.

Hi fellow folders, I'm looking for a guide covering DDR3 speeds over 2133, with focus on timing and reducing memory latency. Memory speed has a big impact on folding but this guide has been hard to find, I can't seem to get the right keywords. Thanks!!!!!!!

Hi Guys, I'm now running a 3930K computer folding at 4.9Ghz (1hr Prime stable). VCore hovers at 1.42. 32nm tech isn't new so I wanted to check with the rest of you what VCore you have your 32nm processor set to and how long you've run it at this VCore. My load temperature isn't too bad, <=50C...

Hi Guys, I posted another thread in the motherboard section but maybe I should have posted here (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1648375 mod please delete/move). I am looking for a solid overclocking motherboard for a 2700K without excess features. (1 video card, 1 SSD SATA 6Gps...

Hi Guys, Rather than lease a modem for 8$/month, I decided to buy my own. This link has a list of compatible modems: http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/ (click extreme 105 to reduce the list). Still, it's a long list. Should I pick from the 3 IPv6 capable modems and call it a day (if so which...

Hi guys, As the title says, I'm looking for an <1000$ LED (cool running) true 1080P projector. I hope to expand this one day to a triple display setup so that is why cool running is important, 3 300watt monsters is out of the question. It is ok if such projectors don't exist now, I can wait. I...

Hi guys, This set of ram is once again available at 100$. Even though Cas latency is 11, this is at a cool 1.5v, I'm sure it will go down if you want to push it to 1.65v. I bought myself a set. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231468 There is also a 80$ 1866 sniper...

Hey guys, I've been waiting for a ZEROtherm ZT-10D CPU Air Cooler since the glowing [H] review here: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/11/18/zerotherm_zt10d_cpu_air_cooler_review/ It's been out of stock forever but Newegg finally has this: ZT-10D Smart...

I've been using entry level audiophile headphones (Sennheiser 595) for a while now and recognize the benefit of high quality sound. However, while headphones are less expensive, they get warm over time and you can't fill a room with sound to enjoy music or a movie with your friends. So, I...

http://blogs.amd.com/fusion/2011/04/04/%e2%80%9cllano%e2%80%9d-apu-is-shipping/ This really caught me by surprise, I thought it was coming after Bulldozer for some reason. I hope [H] be reviewing this as compared with Intel CPU+Discrete for the around the same price, though this may be passed...

There is a lively discussion going on on Anandtech forums about how Bulldozer will be a good folder, with some interesting tidbits from JF-AMD. It get a bit technical for me so I was hoping someone could break it down for me. Is F@H a floating point hogger? How does this module's INT and FP...

After reading reviews covering low color gamut in new TN panels, I was torn about how you had to choose between accurate color representation or fast response rate and 120hz. Then I stumbled onto this little blurb on Wikipedia about RGB LEDs. A quick search revealed on LaCie LCDs ranging from...

http://blogs.amd.com/play/2010/11/29/tessellation-for-all/ I found the sample images interesting.

I'm holding off on most hardware buys, but the technology for memory and power supplies shouldn't change in the near future (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm trying to list some things to look for on Black Friday/Cyber Monday that if I can find a VERY good deal on, I can just grab without regrets...

Source: http://www.semiaccurate.com/2010/11/22/sandy-bridge-pricing-leaks-sweden/ Summary: The Swedish online retailer Multitronic briefly posted the prices of the new processors before taking them down. The Sweclockers forum noticed it and posted it here...

I was thinking about building a HTPC for my parents, and they only browse the web, view internet video (Netflix), email, video chat, and some word processing and such. (no games, not even flash ones) I just have two questions. 1. Is Zacate enough for the above tasks? (1080P capability a must...

For AMD and Intel unlocked multiplier chips, are they regular chips binned for performance and modified to allow unlocked multipliers or are they chips designed from the start to be unlocked, and hence have the same gradient of good to bad chips? Or could it be that AMD and Intel does it...

Hi [H]ard|Forum, I have a feature to wish for, and I know whether it is implemented will depend on its feasibility and benefits. I spend a lot of time clicking on the new posts link here, as reading various discussions breaks up my work day. As with everyone, there are areas that interest me...

I currently have a Q6600 processor and a 4870, and I'm free to upgrade end of this year. Given the condition that if I build a new rig now or wait a bit, that it must last 3 years from the time of purchase, which of the following options will yield a more productive folding rig? I think I timed...

-got my response, thanks guys, now die thread die ^^ - Hi guys, I noticed after getting some WUs that take half the time of P6701s that they improved my PPD by 30% according to HFM.NET. Considering that P6701s are under 10MBs, which falls in the normal sized WUs, to avoid them I had to pick...

I just noticed this, I'm slow I guess. For all the talk of 5870 and 6870, there's another pitfall. Why AMD why..... :(

Hi guys, I just started folding, SMP on a [email protected]. I see some of you are really into it and have built your own farms, I will only be donating my extra cycles and some electricity but every extra bit helps right? I'll do my best to keep my system up 24/7 for half a year, it'll be a good...

Hi guys, I know many forms of IPS are available for this resolution and that they have excellent color reproduction but I looking for something cheaper, with quick response rate and low input lag. I have a 24" 1920x1200 screen now and I'm saving for something larger but I don't want a 27" TN...

Thanks for reading. I'm curious as to experiences people have had with anaglyph 3D. I've heard that colors are bad, but I wonder if anyone is still using it regularly. Maybe you've found a way to tweak say color profiles for each eye, or maybe the experience is better with higher quality...

Hi, I'm about to get my cooling order today and I remember reading that I need to run them at the sink to clean them before using them. I have a spare power supply but can I use it without a motherboard attached to it? I guess I can move everything next to a sink but if there is an easy way...

Hi, I just bought a watt meter from Home Depot on a whim without doing research, so I'd like to ask if this model is good and reliable or whether I should return it (it's unopened). The model is: Kill A Watt EZ, P3 price was 28$, same as this model on Amazon...

Hi, please check my list to make sure I haven't goofed anywhere. This is for my mineral cooling test rig so the components are less compared to a regular water cooling setup. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1535594 (test rig link) The loop I need is pump->tube->radiator->tube, easy right...
