    E-ATX Small Footprint - Are There Any?

    Have you looked into Sliger? They market the Cerberus-X as the world's smallest E-ATX case. It's 19.5L and made in the good old USA. http://www.sliger.com/products/cases/cerberus_x/

    13 Major Vulnerabilities Discovered in AMD Zen Architecture, Including Backdoors

    Air cooling for skylake X, good idea?

    The Cryorig R1 Ultimate is in the same league. I think it's even a little taller. Same TDP though.

    Air cooling for skylake X, good idea?

    You'll be fine with a high quality air cooler and a good case setup. I've been using a Dark Rock Pro 3 for years and I can't say enough good things about it. It's rated at 250w TDP and I'll be using it for my Skylake-X build. Simplicity and silence. The only caveat with this cooler is that you...

    be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3

    Just picked up one of these to replace an H100i in my main rig. Absolutely outstanding so far and, most importantly, completely inaudible. No difference in my temperatures either!

    [R9 290X vs 780 Ti] HardOCP doesn't brown nose nVidia like all the other reviewers.

    I find it bizarre that anyone thinks that either of these publicly traded companies gives a shit about any of you. Their duty is to their shareholders. Looking at either one as a benevolent force is purely naive. And full disclosure, I own shares of neither one. Nor would I.

    ASUS DGX, DSX, & Xonar ROG Phoebus Sound Cards @ [H]

    I rarely post anymore, but this is a topic that grabs my attention. Great review on the cards, and nice job calling out the Phoebus on what it is. I purchased an Asus Xonar Essence STX a while back. I had played around with a number of "7.1" headphone solutions prior to this. The STX isn't...

    Intel 520 'Cherryville' Series 240GB SSD

    Similarly, I have purchased the 512GB version of the 830. The price delta between it and the Intel 520 480GB model was well over $300. This is a large premium for a product that offers no performance or reliability advantage. I love my X25M G2, but for the next few years Intel is out of...

    XFX 7970 BEDD Owners -- Looking for thoughts

    Digging up a week old thread. I'm a bit worried about this card. I haven't really been taxing it too much, just playing some WoW. However I've found that unless I set the fan manually to about 40% I will get random crashes. The thing is, temperature doesn't get that high. CCC tells me...

    Fermi Working Samples for CES?

    Something like that. Essentially, it seems like a product that is trying to do too much, and doesn't really have a niche.

    Best Bang for the buck Receiver with HDMI inputs

    Yes, I did. Did you? Perhaps you could point out where the OP mentioned a dollar amount or a budget, other than saying "bang for the buck". When you can get your hands on a $1800 piece of audio equipment for $500-$650, I'd say that's pretty good bang for your buck. If that's outside the OPs...

    Best Bang for the buck Receiver with HDMI inputs

    If video scaling is important to you, then ignore what I'm about to say. From a personal standpoint though, the scalers in most low cost receivers are so poor they're almost useless. With Pioneer rolling out their new Elite models, you may be able to pick up an SC-05 on the cheap. You can find...

    Suddenly, only 64-bit applications work on 64-bit OS, 32-bit apps closes/doesn't work

    I'm happy it worked for you. I can't be certain what happened to your machine, since you didn't provide the details about what you were doing when things stopped working. As a generic answer, I can tell you that the two most common reasons Windows sockets settings get corrupted are...

    Suddenly, only 64-bit applications work on 64-bit OS, 32-bit apps closes/doesn't work

    Sounds like a corrupted tcp stack. Try opening a command prompt with administrative priveleges and typing the following netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset Reboot the machine and test it. If that doesn't work, try a system restore and roll the machine back to a point when...

    PS3:From Price cut to cancelled in record time

    So, they're removing hardware (the EE chip) in favor of software emulation and subsequently charging you $100 for an extra 20GB of storage space? I understand that they're hemorrhaging money. I also understand that if current sales trends continue, Sony is unlikely to ever recoup their...

    How does 64-bits benefit you today?

    Vista x64 offers several advantages that are security related. In my opinion, these are the most compelling features of x64 at the moment. 1. Hardware 'No Execute' - Hardware backed data execution prevention (the 32-bit versions offer this in software). Better protection vs buffer overflow...

    One Folder bogging down my PC

    You should look at your virus scanner (assuming you have one, of course) at the time you open those folders. On-demand scanning may be what's degrading your performance.

    War of the Formats @ [H] Consumer

    The other possibility that no one is considering is that there may be no winner of the current format war. Quite simply, we may be left with two losers when the dust settles. Consumer apathy is high. Watching standard DVD content on a hi-def TV is pretty impressive in its own right. Most...

    975x, 965, 680i...ugh! I could use some advice

    Buy an Intel board. If you want something that is solid, stable and has excellent overclocking potential then get the Bad Axe 2. Other chipsets will give you bigger FSB numbers if you decide to overclock, but performance-wise, it will still be a wash. I'd say rule out the 680i boards...

    when in [H] going to do a review of bad aXe2

    You may want to do a little research before making comments like that. It's actually one of the best performing motherboards you can buy, particularly if you're buying a QX. It doesn't get much attention, but Intel isn't know for their "enthusiast" boards. They just quietly go about their...
