  2. Can you get to download mode? If you can't get to download mode it is hard bricked and only fixable with JTAG. If you can get to download mode, go to sammobile and download the firmware for your phone and flash it using Odin.
  3. I have a server running Ubuntu 15.04 on my home network that I want to ssh into from work. It is connected to a router (WDR-4300) that is running DD-WRT (build 26622) and has OpenVPN set up with my PIA account. I have tried several different port forwards but I can't seem to connect, it always says connection refused. I have done a bit of googling but come up empty for the most part. Does anyone know how I might go about setting it up properly? I can ssh into it fine on my local network. I'm using OpenSSH with keys if that makes any difference. Thanks
  4. Check your temps. Most likely underclocking to reduce temperature.
  5. A little tedious but not too bad. You need to "glue" all the heatsinks on and let them dry for a while then install the cooler. Because it's compatible with heaps of different cards there are multiple holes in each corner of the mount plate and trying to find the right hole is a challenge. I should have added above that the card is very long with the cooler attached (approx 320mm) so if you have a large case it will be fine. It fits in my S340 perfectly.
  6. I have an Accelero xtreme III on my 290 and it's great. Very quiet even at full speed. VRM stay quite cool as well considering it's an air cooler. It comes with little heatsinks for all you memory and VRM. For $60US it's much cheaper than any waterblock let alone custom loop and does a good job. I also would probably get the III over the IV as the IV has a weird backplate cooler thing. Not sure what thekeemo is talking about I have 0 VRM issues.

  8. Why don't you come down from your high horses, the air must be thin up their. Sad day for EZTV, Novaking and the team have done an amazing job, and as an Australian I sincerely do appreciate their work. People should also stay away from EZTV, I mean it's possible and highly like the site has been taken over by the MFAA who will be logging all downloaders.
  9. I would say yes. If you check out the PCPer review they are using one in a system with a 3960X and it's using 228W under load. The 4770 in the K450 will use a fair bit less power than a 3960X so you should be fine. Lenovo selling a "gaming pc" with a 280W PSU is a bit silly though. Might be a little bit tight, so I probably wouldn't try overclocking the hell out of it.
  10. Check your local classifieds (gumtree, craigslist, etc) for office clearouts. I got a monsterous desk (could fit 4-5 24" monitors) with a seperate set of drawers on wheels for $50 from an office that was closing down near me.
  11. Yeah you can do one set. I have a Raijintek Triton (32mm rad) in mine with fans in pull and the back of the fan just fits in front of the cover. The H100i GTX is 30mm thick apparently so it should be fine.
  12. You can't push/pull in the S340. There is not enough space because of the cable cover. If you can remove it you might be able to but you would be getting close to the motherboard and connections (24pin, sata, usb3)
  13. You mean the company that is using Netflix to increase their sales (http://www.optus.com.au/shop/promotions/netflix-subscription-offer) and make more money, wants Netflix to give them more money? The logic behind this is completely rooted. Let's hope it some kind of media stunt that is designed to highlight our complete lack of infrastructure to that collective group of idiots known as the federal government.
  14. You cannot use risers on RAM. The trace length (and associated properties) is critical to it's performance especially at the ridiculous frequencies of today. I wouldn't be surprised if you can find them on some chinese websites but you should not waste your money. 100% Wrong. Your PC would probably "work", but you would get constant BSODs and any data written/read from RAM would have questionable integrity at best.
  15. Well, I bought one used 8 months ago for $400 (off gumtree, nothing special) so I would think prices would've dropped since then (but the AUD has gone down significantly as well). DO you have the original coolers still? I think you would have more luck selling them as air cooled because 'regular' people won't buy them with waterblocks. Also installing a waterblock is a significant modification (how can anyone know if you did it properly?) and would imply they have been overclocked which turns people off as well.
