    Samsung 830 availability in Canada

    It seems to be the consensus here that the Samsung 830 is a great SSD and I am very interested. Why is it then, that no brick and mortar stores in Canada have these drives? I found them at Tiger Direct.ca, and the price is the same as the American site. Samsung is a huge name, and many stores...

    Dual channel or single channel Maximus formula 3

    I just bought a system from a friend with a Maximus Formula 3 LGA1156 mobo. Somehow he has three 2GB sticks of DDR3-1600 in three of the four slots. Is the memory running in dual channel still? Should I go buy another 2GB stick for the remaining slot? This is from the manual but I don't...

    Asus P8P67 pro and USB power when off

    As the title states, I do not have any powered usb ports when the system is off. My older Maximus Formula did this for me no problem. I like to keep my phone plugged in overnight to charge, and the Maximus fed usb power when it was off, but the P8P67 pro does not. Am I missing something here...

    RAID questions, can this be done?

    I am mostly a case modder, so I have no real experience with data storage. SSD's have made me rethink some future drive strategies for one of my builds in the fall (win7). I want a fast SSD for my C: drive, 60-80GB, that I know for sure. Is it possible to add a RAID 1+0 array of platter...

    Displays manager shows 4 monitors with 4870 X2

    I see 4 displays shown with my X2 in the CCC's displays manager. I have a 24" and a 20" dell LCD. My 24" is display 1, but I can only make display 3 the secondary display. When I try to make display 2 enabled instead of three, it says "crossfire-x is enabled and I need to disable it to re-assign...

    4870/4870X2 Physics in games

    I see that NV has released a "power pack" including new maps with enhanced physics for 8800 series and up cards. Would I be right to assume that users of these new AMD cards cannot enjoy the new maps and physics. When I go over specs of the 4870/4870X2, one of the lines says "Game Physics...

    Let's play the "What Rev. Swiftech Stealth" game!

    My first foray into water cooling after some years sitting on the fence. I ordered lots of Swiftech stuff, including two Stealth VC blocks. Well, they look completely different from one another, like twins from a different mother. I have to RMA the bad one, they did not even tap the holes...

    Well, I walked in EB games today, no UT3, in fact, they said maybe not today. Anyone else having the same problem? I went into Best Buy, same shit, no-one knows. Actually, I dont remember any TV commercials about its release. Shit, Bioshock had bigger PR and even my wife knew about COD4. WTF...

    P5B-DLX and Thermalright HR-05 SLI possible

    Many people have asked about P5B-Deluxe cooling setups, and I just thought I'd share some pics of a layout that has been in the works for some time. I first got the Ultra 120 Extreme, but then found out that no air was getting to the stock nb cooler. I tried a few other nb coolers, but most...
