    Liquid Metal TIMs experiences

    Huh, didn't know that it was so obsolete. I just ordered another tube of it though. I'll try something else next time around. I really don't care too much about temps as long as they're well within where they should be.

    280X CF vs R9 Fury

    Go for the fury, you'll be glad you did. CF is great when it works but having one stronger card when it doesn't makes up for it.

    New camera

    as for the sigma 18-35 f 1.8 don't waste your money, just get a tamron 17-50 2.8 instead or a canon 17-55 2.8 if you can afford it. the 50 1.8 is junk with its noisy micromotor and often misses focus even with cross type center point, i know i had one. the bokeh is only acceptable wide open as...

    Nearly 300,000 Recreational Drone Owners In U.S. Database

    Did you register your guns while you were at it? It's bad enough we have to register vehicles to use public roads, now we have to register public air space. I don't recall model airplane and helicopters being an issue in the last decade. You could take one down to the local park and fly all...

    Any way to keep R9 Fury running at full speed besides clockblocker?

    Nobody buys an amd housefire card to get downclocked, this is bullshit. I haven't updated my drivers since october and i damn sure haven't tried crimson. Try old drivers first OP.

    Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs Releasing In March For $42.99

    I've never bought a DVD movie, don't have an optical drive in my current pc, and the last time i used one was for installing a driver or playing oblivion at work lol. Definitely not the target audience. I haven't seen the new star wars either nor do I plan to any time soon, if ever.

    GoPro Cutting Jobs

    GoPro was overpriced junk from the start, I had the original and it was a let down. Fisheyes suck, period. If they made a camera with a proper rectilinear lens in say a 10mm equivalent f/2 - f/2.8 that would be great. They have too many gimped models. Just make a consumer model and a prosumer...

    AMD Lowers Radeon R9 Nano To $499

    Any GPU over $400 is outrageous for me. GPU prices are inflated as all get out given that 2013 cards still perform well and no die shrink yet. I wouldn't pay $650 for a fury X any day, and I wouldn't consider buying a nano either. It was inexcusable for AMD to charge these prices and not even...

    ISPs Mad That FCC Wants Faster Broadband Deployment

    I'm lucky I can get 6 down 4 up. Over the holidays my ISP couldn't keep up. they offer 25 50 100 mbps plans. I couldn't even get websites to load. All this bandwidth mandate crap is cute, my expectations are more realistic. My ISP might be able to do 100 mbps but certainly not even to half of...

    No More Pirated Games In Two Years

    I don't pay big money for games anymore because game devs are lazy as hell and release unfinished junk for 60 dollars. Bethesda is like an ex wife with big tits, fat ass, and a cute face. She has cheated on me time and time again, but that ***** game ridiculous. She's not worth my 60 dollars...

    How To Block Windows 10 Upgrades

    Windows 10 has only killed wifi on two computers for me after the last update, dell and HP machines. The wifi adapters no longer work with windows 10 despite working before the update.

    Microsoft Edge Keeps Losing Users Despite Windows 10 Push

    Been using opera for a long long time and I see no need to go elsewhere. I have chrome and firefox on my work pc since corporate realized IE was junk a few years ago but I don't see any reason reason to use them over opera either.

    Popular online FPS's have been ruined by cheating

    The whole concern about cheating is why I haven't gotten into the Arma III world, it sounds like something I'd like but reviews about being banned for not even cheating bother me and they're all over steam's negative review section. Played Insurgency recently, It's not my favorite by a long...

    Windows 10 Surpasses 200 Million Installs

    Running windows 10 with minimal issues. Dell wifi drivers were an issue but I'm not running a dell machine anymore. Sata pcie card wouldn't work on win10 so i got a new one that does. I can't be the only one that prefers the task manager of win10 over 8.1 or 7. i like seeing my disk read/writes.

    How good/bad does 1080p look on a 4K screen?

    There's no reason it should look bad, but it did in direct comparison last time i checked. 4k is one of these either you're in or you're out ball games. You can't have all your base. All your base does not belong to you when you into 4k.

    Seagate: Hard Disk Drives Set To Stay Relevant For 20 Years

    In my company we still run a ton of pentium 4 machines (2.8 HT) with a gig or two of ram, and just updated some of them from windows xp to windows 7, me included in that upgrade. I've been damn near begging for an upgrade for 5 years now and a couple years ago I brought my old home PC to work...

    Whats the best ~250GB SSD for the price

    I don't now that you can really go wrong. So far I've got intel, sandisk, and now adata. Some models seem to have a lower write speed in the 300-400 MB range instead of the typical 500+ so maybe that's why they're a bit cheaper, but in real world use most people will never tell the difference...

    Paypal Leaks Steam’s Upcoming Winter Sale, To Be Launched On December 22nd

    So far the only thing I've bought is the XCOM EU/EW bundle for $10. I was hoping GTA5 would go down to $25 and Divinity OS would go down to $15 as those are the only 'big money' games I want. Probably gonna pick up red orchestra 2, alpha protocol, and flight sim X to add to the pile of games i...

    Please help me understand crossfire

    From what I understand you can do just this, however the 390X will basically become a 390 to equate itself with the 390, by disabling the extra cores on the gpu though software. I cannot confirm nor deny this so if someone knows better please comment.

    Top 10 Disappointing Games of 2015

    I haven't played enough of The Witcher 3 to call it a disappointment, but it's lacking some of the fine details that I expected. It's not really an open world game like Skyrim but I can forgive that. What really bugs me is the lack of NPC's that are interactive. The fact that you can still just...

    Microsoft Accused Of Releasing 'Worst Patch Yet' For Windows 10

    LG G5 specs leaked (5.3", SD 820, full metal)

    My G3 is still an excellent phone, I'm not seeing much improvement with the G4 and V10 or the rumored specs on the G5. The only thing that I hate about LG is the voicemate issue and the headphone jack related problems. That alone is enough reason not to go back with LG for my next phone. I'll...
