    Sub-$100 portable speakers with bass

    I'm looking for sub-$100 portable speakers, hopefully with decent bass. Must have a standard input (not Apple-only), USB charging and/or Bluetooth are nice but not needed. Been searching around but speakers are one of those things that's better to ask opinions, since specs don't help much...

    GK110 = SLI 680s, performance projections based on Tesla specs

    Team OCAHOLIC benchmarked a GTX 680, 670, and double 680s, and then made performance projections of GK110 based on specs from the Tesla G20 whitepaper. The results? Slightly better than SLI 680s. Now, of course, these are projections. But this chip probably will become the GTX 780 next year...

    GK104 confirmed originally GTX 660, GK110 launch (possible Tesla) on the 10th?

    I'll get it out of the way here: This is a rumor. It's written well, but I see no sources, so let's assume likely false. That said, this is an incredible story about Kepler's development, and it will be exciting to see an unleashed GK110, even if it's a high-priced Tesla. How the GeForce...

    [WTB-USA] 32GB or 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive [H] $$

    Specifically looking for Mushkin Enhanced Ventura Pro, the ADATA N005 Pro (or S102 Pro), the Patriot Supersonic, or the Team X101 (the Corsair ones look fast, but have a ton of failure reports). If you have another high speed (more than 30Mb/s writes) drive though, please still comment!

    Prime95 failure at small FFTs, 2600K @ 5GHz

    I've been working on my i7-2600K. Using an ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 motherboard, 4 x 4GiB G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3-1600 RAM, Phanteks PH-TC14PE cooler. I've been getting rounding errors when doing even a minute of 8K FFTs (in-place) with Prime95. This happens from 1.47V to 1.56V (tried briefly...

    Installed new CPU, lost video

    I tried installing a 2600K into my P8Z68-V/GEN3, the old chip being a 2500K, and was dismayed to find only integrated video worked -- I tried both DVI and HDMI on the card. I tried an older video card, still nothing. They weren't in the device manager either. Replaced my old CPU, and still no...

    Wait for 1200p 120Hz love or take 1080p in late 2012?

    Right now I'm using a 1920x1200 24" BenQ G2400WD monitor. It's decent, gets the job done, but not great by any means. I've been considering an upgrade (next year at the earliest) for a while, but 120Hz and 1920x1200 are both features I strongly desire. Has anyone here gone from 1200p to...

    Klipsch ProMedia v.2-400 -- comparable to ProMedia 2.1?

    For a while now, I've been hunting a good used ProMedia 2.1. Deal just popped up, local, for a ProMedia v.2-400 system, $50. This is about half of what I'd end up getting a used ProMedia 2.1 for, since there's no shipping either. I have no use for the extra two speakers -- they'd be...

    Ranguvar's For Sale items (775 combo, Q6600, DDR2, GTX 460)

    Pretty new to [H]ard|Forum, but looking to build a solid trader rep. Looked at a few offers for some of these but then realized I was asking far below what these are worth. - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (G0 SLACR MALAY): $90 shipped - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L r2.0, broken gigabit ethernet port...

    301.32 beta driver

    Anyone tried it yet? I'm using it and I can't see the difference so far -- the control panel feels a lot more snappy, but that could be in my head. From http://www.station-drivers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=3747 XP 32...

    [FS] Intel Core i5-2500K (incl. box, invoice, stock cooler, 1 month old)

    I just got a nice deal on a Core i7, so I'm selling my Core i5-2500K. It was ran at 4.5GHz on 1.38V if I remember right, had it mostly stable at 4.8GHz but was waiting to put a real nice cooler on it before I tried for all-night Prime95s at that frequency or made a run at 5GHz. I have the...

    MSI Kombustor won't start the flag test on GTX 680

    On a GTX 680 with stock clocks, running Kombustor 2.2.2, the flag test immediately freezes as soon as it starts (GPU PhysX). I need to hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and go to the Task Manager, at which point I can see the crashed application window and close Kombustor. The crash specifies PhysXCore.dll as...

    Accessory display from integrated?

    I'm getting a GTX 680 soon, and while I don't want to move to multi-monitor gaming, I've considered running another monitor for web and such while there's a game in the other monitor. I'm well aware that the 680 can handle up to four displays, including one accessory, but could I save a...

    Will a GTX 680 2GB handle all the Skyrim mods?

    I'm considering breaking the bank this once and getting a GTX 680. I run a single 1920x1200 monitor, though it's conceivable that I might upgrade the display before I upgrade the card. If I get the 2GB GTX 680 and don't wait for the double-RAM version, will it handle all the Skyrim texture...

    Any hope of SMAA in drivers or more games?

    I'm a little sad that FXAA is now in the NVIDIA drivers, as opposed to SMAA. It's better than nothing, but SMAA is so clearly far-and-above _better_, that I'm worried it's going more unnoticed than it should. For those unfamiliar, SMAA is post-processing like FXAA, there is an injector (it...

    Considering a more expensive case for my next build

    I'm using a Lancool K58W right now, and it's served me pretty well. I love the mostly-toolless build, the spacious interior, the sideways (ports facing side) 3.5" drive bays, PSU on bottom, and steel construction. I wouldn't mind keeping it, but I'm considering splurging a bit the next time I...
