Try using the A7A266 in a build. Now that was hell... ;)

Because they don't want people to modify their phones, thus causing bricking problems and needless RMA's. The telco providers also want to ensure full control of any O/S updates that come at their discretion. Now I know that HTC provides an unlock tool for older phones, but the One X is not one...

To me, in order to get an Intel motherboard to be stable, you had to flash the motherboard to the newest BIOS. Now I had numerous builds with the older D945GTP/GNT motherboards and in order to get the BIOS update to work, you had to disable the onboard NIC. The BIOS update refused to work if it...

A Nexus device can be made from any SoC, it doesn't necessarily have to be Qualcomm. It's the software development that matters. That's why I chose my GNex over a regular Samsung device. In terms of device history; 1. Nexus One - Scorpion / Adreno 200 2. Nexus S - Exynos 3 / SGX 540 3. Galaxy...

I'm going to agree that your gaming abilities will be severely limited with the 650Ti. I would start saving up for something better like a 7950.

They didn't buy the rights, they bought out 3Dfx. With that came Glide, amongst a few other technologies like SLI.

Your wisdom is about as useful as a fortune cookie during an zombie apocalypse. :rolleyes:

Looks like the Cooler Master GX 750W is built on the same design as the FSP 750W that Kyle recently tested and failed. I'd be cautious on that one.

Now that I looked at the pump unit myself, I noticed my mistake on that. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'd get it off the UPS if possible and then test accordingly. Some power supplies have Active PFC and they don't take kindly to being plugged into UPS units.

It's an APC unit I gather?

How old is the battery in the UPS?

The H series was made by Asetek until the H100i came around, which is a Cool-IT made unit. The H100i is the one appearing to be problematic, like most Cool-IT units.

Yep, I have sent back quite a few 7200.10 series drives and received rebuilt/recertified 7200.12 series drives. I've yet to send in a recertified 7200.12 series drive that cacked recently. Not impressed with Seagate as of late either.

It is. Robocopy has been around for the longest time. MS integrated it into Windows Vista, Server 2008, and Windows 7. Before that, it was part of the Server 2003 Resource Kit.

To be more poetically correct - Raidmax. Even though this unit was subpar in testing, it's OEM line SPI will still be my budget brand for whenever a power supply fails in a Tier 1 PC. Either that or Corsair CX series.

Step back to the 306.97 series of drivers and see what happens.

Yeah, unless we know the rest of entire system specs, we can only speculate which graphics card and/or configuration of graphics cards would work best. Myself, I have a GTX 670 and it played FC3 very smoothly at the highest detail settings.

Haha, sorry about the confusion with Robocopy. I was taught some time ago how to do mirror backups with it and I've used it since. There are other programs like RichCopy, FreeFileSync, and SyncToy (like drescherjm mentioned) that do the same thing. I just prefer Robocopy as it's faster for me to...

Use a built-in solution: Robocopy. Create a mirror between the two drives and be merry. Eg: robocopy x: y: /MIR /R:1 /W:1

DOH... I should know that seeing that I have used it for a few of my bad heartburn occurrences. :D

You may have just got bad RAM, but the BIOS update should be done first. ASRock will list only the major changes done to the new BIOS, but it can fix other issues as well.

Was a BIOS update done on this ASRock board? It's something I recommend doing to iron out any instability problems common to ASRock boards when they are first released. I'd also test the board with RAM that doesn't require any voltage tweaks or manual timing adjustments.

If running the RAM in dual channel freezes the system and single channel does not freeze the system, I would suspect the memory controller in the motherboard being faulty.

I didn't that back pain medicine companies made water-coolers. I think you mean Zalman.

The only kind of people that use MS supplied drivers are the ones using Tier 1 PC's. :Looks around: This is an enthusiast site, so we're probably going to use whatever drivers work for our purposes. I'll give Windows 8 at least a service pack prior to me using it as a day-to-day O/S. I'm...

Visiontek is still around? :Snicker: Sorry for your problems with Visiontek, but that brand was to be avoided long before they stopped producing Nvidia graphics cards.

Intel like most other manufacturers use a SandForce controller, but Intel makes the firmware such as Cherryville for their 520 series SSD's. OCZ uses SandForce's firmware and so does Sandisk. That is why I am partial to Intel for their SSD's due to their own in house firmware.

But the SR107 comes with fixed bays already, correct? I can just use the fix bays till I get the the hot-swap cages.

I may answered my own question. I found the Chenbro SR107 online, but now it will be tricky to find an online retailer that has them.

I've only got two spare cases: A Zalman Z9 U3 and some SUN workstation chassis.

I was looking at the SC742/743, but as you said, they are hard to find. The Lian Li doesn't have what I am looking for, a front loading hot-swap design.

So as of right now, I have an Antec 300 being utilized as my file server chassis. It has done a marvellous job at keeping all the hardware cool, but it is time to put it to pasture. I want something with true hot-swap capability, 6 x 3.5" support, and shouldn't break the bank ($300+). It...

Get some more RAM in that system, and you'll be good for a little while longer.

A lot of the GT 610's on the market are low-profile. They either have 1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI, 1 x D-Sub, or, 1 x HDMI 1 x DVI. There are only a few cards from ZOTAC and eVGA that are normal height, and have 2 x DVI ports.

I have one in my system and it works great. Keeps my processor at 60C load during OCCT testing.

I really couldn't tell you if they are good or not. Frankly, anything that comes out of Fry's is scraping at the bottom of the barrel.

My chances of having a bad power supply from FSP were far less than that from Antec back in the days of the Sonata/Sonata II chassis.

Nein, nein, nein! Sorry... no! Do not put a Coolmax into that system. They are even WORSE than SPI in all respects. If anything, you want the same power supply or better in that system.

I am inclined to agree that there are plenty of resources out there for finding work. It's not a bad idea, but there are sites like the ones posted above that are tailored to employment.
