I would like to bring up this article on Hackaday for its history lesson. It talks about the underhandedness of Intel that set in motion a lot of the struggle that AMD has faced for so long. It also brings up the Intel Compiler issue that keeps AMD CPUs from doing certain processes as fast as an...
I manually checked the caps and it turns out they're still good. The Crossovers were wired wrong though...apparently, the guy thought it was a good idea to wire the tweeters and squawkers directly to the input...
For now, I'll leave the original caps in there with the plan to replace them...
I decided to test em by replacing my rear speakers on my 5.1. The caps are dried out so there was a bunch of clipping but they sounded pretty good at first. I'll probably hook em up to an automotive amp from the source. It's fun to play around with setups to see what exactly works best. They sit...
Actually, all of the wood on those is original, someone just chopped them down to fit in the wall space. They are the Decorator version which didn't have the finished case around them.
I'll definitely be messing around with my options! From what I've seen so far, the treble is really high on...
I stumbled into a pair of 1968 Heresy Floorstand speakers today. They were installed in the walls of a friends house. The entire house was wired up with a stereo system which is long gone.
I'm curious to see about using them for my computer. I currently have a Logitech X-530 5.1 setup and I'd...
You don't own the game itself even if you have a physical copy of it. You are still bound by the license to not try to copy or modify the game in any way. Discs have DRM and a license you agree upon when you buy it. You own the physical distribution of the media, but not the media itself.
Next-Gen consoles are x86(AMD64) based. This means that the version they built for the PS4 and XboxOne was trivial to "port" to PC. There was no engine code changing. The reason we're behind is because they're adding in the stuff we, as PC players, expect from a huge franchise game. We never get...
I ran Minecraft on my SP1 and was confused as to the slight whoosh sound I was hearing. I tried to find the source and lo, it was my Surface Pro. It only ever engages the fans audibly when doing something intensive. Even when it is running with full fans(very rare), it isn't loud. Hell, I had to...
I was reading all of the necessary stuff for litecoin mining and installing it when i came across the tidbit about XFX cards having issues for mining. Dammit all.
Dude, it's awesome that a mainstream company released this solution. There have been brackets for this exact thing before, but never from a big company like NZXT. That's great!
Let's do a hypothetical here.
AMD releases the new line of cards with a crappy cooler. People bitch and moan. Top end card price: $549
Third Party companies release their own versions of the cards for a slight upcharge($10-20). Card price: $549-$600(Asus, I'm looking at you)
AMD releases a...
Guess what, you can wait a little while and buy a non-reference card with aftermarket cooling for the same or only slightly higher price than the reference card. If they charged $50 more for a better stock solution, the aftermarket card would cost more ON TOP of that $50 more than it currently...
I love generalizations. They point out the people who are incapable of unbiased thought.
Quite frankly, I think AMD releases a card with a sub-par to average cooler knowing that a good chunk of early adopters are willing to watercool their top-of-the-line cards. Most people who wait will...
