    Want a 4K TV, remembering overscan (Screen Fit) is important.

    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...

    Script to download higher quality versions of pictures.

    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...

    Can you set a fan curve without background program?

    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...

    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...

    IE10 crashing on hardocp.com

    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.

    Exploring crashing in Win 8, nvidia related..

    3930K+H80 = high temps?

    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...

    Win 8 latency tests..

    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...

    Need some help understand Win 8 Storage Spaces.

    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...

    WTB: H80 - LGA2011 Stand off screws only.

    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...
