    Wi-Fi 'Allergies': Is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Real?

    Imagine if those people were to figure out there was something in the sky that's radiating broad spectrum EM at around 1400W/m^2.

    Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K IPC & Overclocking Review @ [H]

    Sure you get some new shiny features, but you're talking about $500+ (even more in canuckland) for those features and not a whole lot of extra horsepower for that money. For general computer use, yeah they are fast enough. You're talking about more specialized cases. I have no issue running a...

    Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K IPC & Overclocking Review @ [H]

    Another 2500k owner chiming in to say "no thanks" to skylake. My money would be better spent on upgrading my 680. Then again, kinda knew this would be the point. Other than for very specialist tasks, CPUs have been 'fast enough' since the start of the core i series.

    DRM In New Coffee Maker Will Lock Out Refill Market

    I had a Tassimo for espresso pods, but I finally made the move to an automatic espresso machine (on sale @ costco) and the resulting drinks are much better. Fresh ground beans 4tw. Not to mention around 13 cents a shot :) Will take a while to make up the price difference tho.

    World of Tanks, 60 million players

    Uhhh if you find the game play an awful grind, why are you playing it in the first place? The game is designed so you can have fun no matter what tank/tier/unlocks you have. Sure it sucks moving from a fully researched tank (and just as important, 100% trained crew) to a higher tier that is...

    Ikea desk gallery

    I'm looking to upgrade my POS desk with one of the Galants and I'm wondering if anyone has mounted a UPS to the bottom? I have an APC Back-UPS. Be nice to clear everything but speakers, mouse & keyboard from the top. Too bad my p280 won't fit in the computer holder.

    Google Facing Antitrust Scrutiny in Europe Over Android

    Wow, Heat Issue with Ivy just stinks, what to do now?

    At 4GHZ, and that H100, I don't think it's really going to matter which cpu you buy. Comes down to, do you need hyper threading? If not, save some heat and money = get a 2500k or 3570k. And if heat and noise is that much of an issue, the 2500k. If you have speed step enabled, most office work...

    Asus P8P67Pro is dead, what to replace it with?

    Was playing some games this afternoon and had my rig shut down. Thought it might have been the power supply (Corsair ax750), headed into work and grabbed my older hx520 swapped a few cables and well nothing. Fans & HDs spin up, but the red CPU LED stays lit. Reseated memory, unplugged everything...

    NVIDIA Kepler GeForce GTX 680 Video Card Review @ [H]ardOCP

    Really depends on your situation. Running a 1680x1050 display? Stick to the ~$200 solutions. Running 2560x1600, you either run a couple of those $200 cards in SLI/CF & deal with multi-gpu issues or you buy a $500 card.

    What will be crazy is the price of the high end card down the road! Or a dual GPU version of the high end. SCARY for the wallet.

    [Hexus.net] AMD Radeon HD 7850 vs 6850 vs 5850 at same clocks

    One thing that you're missing, the 5850 was around the same price of the 7850. You're not getting a whole lot more oomph for your money with the 7850.

    So 3+ month after official release, AMD where is my driver?

    2 months to get official drivers for a $600 GPU? Yeah, I agree with the OP's working on the thread title/subjet-line ;)

    AMD Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 Video Card Review @ [H]

    You mean new midrange beats old high end at the same price as the old high end? Actually if you had found a good deal near Boxing Day, the new 78xx cards are not as good for bang for the buck as the 6950/70 cards. Really wish I had of bought one of those $300 6970s :(

    AMD Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 Video Card Review @ [H]

    If you want price/performance, the mid/high end cards aren't where to find it. Street price/performance is what people are interested in, and both the 7850 and 7870 are not giving that. Well maybe now that availability of the 69xx cards is drying up, sure. But back in Dec, you could buy 2gb 6950...

    AMD Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 Video Card Review @ [H]

    You mean the MSRP are similar, or their street prices after discounts and MIR? BIG difference. For boxing week sales, you were finding 2gb 6950's for under $200 and 560ti under $190 (or less).

    AMD Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 Video Card Review @ [H]

    So basically the best upgrade for the money today would have been to buy an unlockable 6950 18 months ago. Can I borrow a time machine? :) Impressive power consumption on the new cards, but we're not getting a whole lot on the bang for the buck front on these 'midrange' ($350 is midrange?)...

    Advice for Upgrading i5-2500k/560Ti rig

    From a 560ti for 1080p? Not sure the 7950 or a 580 would be great values for the money. How about getting a 2nd 560ti and going SLI? Errr, don't think your motherboard can do that. I'd probably wait to see what nvidia has coming out in the next month (or three??). And why would you spend the...

    Advice for Upgrading i5-2500k/560Ti rig

    Yes. And I'd probably get one of the great bang for the buck cpu coolers and OC that 2500k! And what resolution are you gaming at?

    7950s Live on Newegg

    At that price, I'd be more willing to either buy a pair of 6950s. Or spend the extra for a 7970. Not sure where that card fits. Be interesting to see what the reviews are like tomorrow. Can't see that anemic cooling system giving the sort of overclocks the reference 7970s are getting.

    Corsair Individual Sleeved Modular PSU Cables - Now Available

    So is the EPS 8pin cable long enough to be useful in any of the larger cases? Pisses me off that the cable that came with my AX750 isn't long enough to go behind the mobo and still reach the mobo header.

    Which 27" IPS monitor is for me?

    I'd rather deal with a little bit of AG grain than deal with reflections with the glossy ACD. But that's just me. Never noticed the input lag on my old dell 2407 PVA panel and haven't noticed it on my new u3011. BTW for $950, you could get the u3011 here in Canada this week :)

    nVidia: "We expected more from the Radeon 7900 series"

    Well part of his point is that he can do that right NOW. Not in somewhat vague amount of time down the road. Maybe Kepler will be absolutely killer, but if someone's looking at a high end GPU this week/month, the 7970 can't be beat. And I'm hoping that nvidia does have a great product. More...

    Official [H] Star Wars:The Old Republic Thread

    In what way? There are tons of endgame type of features that SWTOR just doesn't have. LFD, multiple specs, pvp tiers (or non CC dominated pvp for that matter), crafting is in horrible shape and finally the UI.
