This is very timely for me. I am currently a dissatisfied user of the Galaxy S3 (replaced the battery about two months ago and it is already in bad shape, my portable batteries do not work, software stalls out, etc) and I am deciding between the Nexus 5 and the Xperiea Z1 Compact (assuming it...
If you and your friend live near a Microcenter store, you can get an A6 and an MSI mATX mobo for a little over $100.
I built for a coworker an APU rig with an A10 and an MSI mITX mobo. She is really enjoying it.
Practically all brick and mortar stores support this act- they claim it gives them a "more level playing field." If BestBuy (as an example) wanted to compete on an even playing field with Amazon, they really ought to do something about having good customer service because sales tax or no, I...
Thanks for the review. I built a computer for a friend using an A10-5800k and an MSI ITX motherboard. I am considering buying a new one soon or waiting for Kaveri. What to do...
But would you really say that if TastyPC did a review? =p
On this landmine of a topic, I feel there are factors at play that are some folks' point(s) of contention and people invariably pick and choose their "weapon" -
1) price/performance- some look at value to the price of the product...
If I remember it right, the way the board was constructed, the Gigabyte 990fx-UD3 is supposed to handle a higher theoretical load than the UD5 and UD7. I saw it on overclock.net, but I don't remember on what page and I'm too lazy to find it right now (but I can check later).
But from what I...
For me, it was more about "the adventure" and "having fun" than it was about performance. Unless you plan on significant overclocking or live in a hot environment, air cooling should be sufficient (from what I have read).
...having said that, I wasted lots of money, but had loads more of fun. :D
I recently bought this headset. I have heard for the price it is pretty good. If you make some modifications to it, it is supposed to be on level with much more expensive offerings.
The 970s are decent mobos, but they are the entry level of the 900-series mobos which is why they are not talked about as much (remember w[H]ere you are ;)). Most of them (except for Gigabyte's 970-UD3) do not have an 8+2 power phase and while they are crossfire ready, most of them come with a...
Asus Crosshair V Formula Z, Sabertooth 990FX R2.0, Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 all seem to be really good boards- the Gigabyte one is significantly less expensive than the other two options and from what I have read, it might be Gigabyte's best board for overclocking (I found that when reading through...
I have the SP120 high performance ones- I would recommend putting them on a fan controller because they can get loud at full speed.
My Gentle Typhoons, on the other hand, quiet. :)
My brother once pre-ordered through BB and they oversold it. Instead of refunding him, he had to start raging before they reluctantly gave him back his deposit.
I usually am ignored for a good half hour until it looks like I am about to steal something. It's quite awkward for me to get their...
From my experience, this. At first, I could not pull off the side panels. It did not help that I was watching Linus pull it apart with the greatest of ease.
I also cannot recommend this at regular price. Thankfully, I bought it when it was like $60. For that price, I think it is a good value.
I like Galaxy cards partly because they make solid products, but partly because their company's name shares the namesake of the first football team that I followed- the LA Galaxy.
