    Water in PSU while not connected, still screwed?

    So water was spilled into a standard computer PSU, right through the fan opening. It was just loose, so not in a pc or anything. Any chance of it being okay if I let it try for ample time or am I screwed?

    Change Management Software?

    Not sure if this is the right place, but does anyone here use any sort of Change Management software? And by that I mean: Some sort of web interface with approve/deny check boxes so end-users and management can just go in and approve some request. Lets say Bob wants local admin access of his...

    Use SSD just for running apps/games?

    Asus P8Z68-V LE Overclocking?

    So I just bought a P8Z68-V LE and notice it doesn't have these DIGI+ VRM options. How does this affect my overclocking? I was able to get the cpu to 4.4 pretty easily. But I'm worried the lack of additional features will hurt stability in the long run. Thinking about swapping for a P8Z68-V...

    Upgrade AMD 955 to Intel 2500k?

    Would this upgrade be worthwhile? I'm looking for an fps/smoothness boost all around. For BF3, Witcher 2, Skyrim, etc. All the latest games.

    System process does random reads to files

    So I have Windows 7 loaded on my work machine. And I run the Resource Monitor to keep tabs on how it's running. Every so often the System process will just start reading files. Seems pretty random and sometimes obscure. Like it will read some installer exe I haven't touched in months. The...
