Thinking of one of the Samsung UHD or SUHD TVs, want 4K, 46" - 50", under $1500, but most importantly, I want it to remember overscan setting (I think Samsung calls it "screen fit" in the TV menu). My current TV, some old JVC, requires that I turn off overscan every time I turn on the TV or the...
I made this script (powershell, included in Windows 7+), and thought someone here might find it useful, what it does is do a google image search for every picture in a directory, and save the biggest result in a target directory, using the same name if it's bigger than the original source. So...
RMA'd a MSI X99 Xpower AC USB 3.1 and got this one back, it appears to be new but hard to tell. Here is the newegg link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130836
$409 on newegg, so I'm asking for $300, which includes shipping to the continental U.S. Paypal only. My...
I have a 980 Ti. I've checked out Precision X and MSI AfterBurner, and Maxwell II Bios Tweaker, but it seems I can't set a fan curve and not have a program running in background. AfterBurner allows you to set a manual fan speed, but it's at a fixed percentage, so you don't get quiet on idle, and...
Just wanted to let people know. I didn't get the TDRs, so maybe someone else can report on that. Have them installed in Win 10 x64 with no hacks, and everything looks good so far. You can grab em from NVidia.com
I just pulled the trigger on this last night:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487139
Anyway, I really wanted the ACX version, and I see it is in stock today, so I ordered that, and I want to sell the EVGA 980 Ti SC. The SC just shipped today and hasn't gotten here yet...
Upgraded to a 5960, so I'm looking to get rid of the old 3930 system.
(SOLD) 3930K - Looking for $300; run since Nov. 2011. caveat: I don't think it overclocks well, I ran it at 4.0Ghz and IE hung not sure if it was related, but don't expect much, at stock it's 100% stable.

I'd like $175 for the EVGA GTX 670 2GB, and $60 for the Intel 520 SSD.
Condition on both items is good, I only used the 670 for a few days while my GTX 780 was being RMA'd, the intel I've used for an OS drive for about 8 months, but I barely write to it. I ran the intel SSD toolbox yesterday and...
GIGABYTE GA-X79-UD3 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Question is, can an Intel RAID5 array (4x 2TB drives) be accessed to copy files from if one of the disks should die, or must it be rebuilt with a new disk first?
Dunno if anyone else will find this useful, but I like to stay current with MPC-HC64 builds, so I built this script to automatically download and install the latest portable version of MPC-HC64. You will need to enable scripting in PowerShell (run as admin, and type 'set-executionpolicy...
Recently, out of the blue, IE10 on Win 8 Pro x64, has been crashing on the www.hardocp.com page, and also on www.pcper.com. I tried reseting the browser settings, but it did not help. Anyone else seeing this? It comes in waves, then vanishes. Since it's crashing on two separate but similar sites...
I figured I'd post this to help other Win 8 users out. When I first got Win 8, I noticed explorer was dying, so reading around the web I found some users posting that they found the NVidia control panel desktop context menu was causing this. And the solution is to download shellexview and...
I am selling a complete Bond 50th Anniversary Box set Blu-ray edition, all discs and box in virtually new condition, for $135. CONUS and Paypal only. PM me if interested.
Got this sitting around after I decommissioned my separate HTPC. It is an 80+ Bronze modular PSU. Will part with it for $75 shipped to CONUS. Had it about 3/4ths of a year, worked good in my last system. Paypal only, no returns. My heatware is JamesG76, not that anybody leaves me heat after...
Firstly though, I have disabled all power saving and downclocking features of the bios. No SpeedStep, turbo, C1E, C3, C6 or C7. I prefer the lower latency I get, and enabling all those options only drops my temps 6c-7c degrees anyway. Ok, so I'm getting temps around 52c-55c just sitting at the...
There's been some back and forth about this, so I did some investigating, testing and tweaking of Windows 8 with the goal of reducing latency, and my results:
At first, I was averaging 1,000µs (1,000 microseconds) in both, now down to about 10µs. I proceeded to disable every piece of...
I'm trying out Storage Spaces in Win 8 RP. I have 4x2TB drives, and 2x1TB drives (currently in hardware RAID 0). I set up a 3x2TB parity storage space, because the other 2 drives have data on them, so my plan was to make a 3x2TB parity storage space, copy over the data on the other 2 drives to...
Selling one Core i7 965 Extreme Edition (unlocked), for $320 shipped to CONUS.
Had chip since Nov. 2008, running 24/7 in my desktop then an htpc without issue, never overclocked. Would like to keep but money is tight, so I figured I'd sell it and get a 920 later.
Heatware is JamesG76.
This one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087
Asking $70 shipped to CONUS. PSU is about 2 years old, and works fine, and you can RMA through seasonic if you ever need to, as it has a 5 year warranty.
I RMA'd my old X79 motherboard, but I forgot to take out the LGA 2011 stand off screws, so I will probably not see them again. If anyone is using an H80 on a non-X79 motherboard, the LGA2011 screws would probably be useless to you and I really need them. Just the four LGA2011 stand off screws...
Just got my 3930K, so I'm retiring my X6800 system from htpc duty which my i7 965 is now taking over. The X6800 has seen 5 years of use always run at defaults (no overclocking/overvolting). I'll take $50 for it with $10 shipping. I'll throw in the RAM (which is 2x2GB+2x1GB DDR2-533) for an extra...
Where in the gigabyte x79 (UD5 specifically, UEFI/bios version F4) UEFI can you disable all the power saving features like C1 state, EIST, etc? I must be missing something I combed through those screens and did not see where to set/unset these features or things like hyperthreading, core count...
I was messing around in task scheduler when I noticed something called 'chameleon manager' was set to load at start up, located in "c:\program files (x86)\common\chameleon manager\" - the details view from properties on the monitor.exe in that directory says it's made by NeoSoft Tools. I went to...
I'm buying a Sandy Bridge-E system, I want the a corsair water cooler, but all they have at newegg is the H70 core, the version without a fan, between the corsair models I want (H70 or H80). So what's a _quiet_ fan I can put on that? Sound is the key concern as I won't be overclocking so I...
EVGA GTX 480 1.5GBs stock clocks, asking $200 shipped. The card is registered with EVGA, and I will assist with any RMAs required, so long as buyer pays any RMA shipping.

Asking $40 shipped (CONUS only). Memory is memtest stable and has never given me problems in the several months I used it. Selling it because I upgrade to 3x4GBs and it's a different voltage than my new Corsair Ram...

I searched google and hardforum, and didn't find anything, but I am trying to install Windows 7 from a USB thumb drive, and when I get it booted off the thumb drive, Windows pops up a screen asking for a driver, doesn't say which. I downloaded all the SATA + Intel drivers from gigabyte.us and...

I searched here and google, sorry if this is obvious, but I'm trying out media browser in 7MC, and most of my movies have these great posters automatically downloaded, but some, I presume because I don't use the correct name, have no images. Is there a place to get the media browser posters for...

So I'm now RMA'ing my 3rd WD GP 2TB drive, out of 5 I have owned. What the hell. In the future I don't want to buy WD again, but I may have to because I need a 3TB drive and WD is the only one who makes an internal. :( Anyone else having bad luck with these? I bought them from newegg and best...

Not final, but better than nothing. Unfortunately some of my critical add-ons (last pass) aren't 64-bit ready, so I can't use this, but at least there's some progress on the 64-bit front.
Edit: I was wrong, LastPass is available for IE x64...
