The few places I've checked, the Seiren is cheaper than the Yeti Pro...
-
It's not a reskinned Blue Yeti, it's a reskinned Blue Yeti Pro. In Australia, the Seiren is cheaper than a Yeti Pro (sources here and here), so in some cases you might want to buy the Razer product (though buying internationally might be cheaper than that - you just won't get local warranty).

I have to ask about WDs Blue drives. They have been stuck with a maximum capacity of 1TB while every other colour drive has been incrementally updated to as high as 6TB now. What happened to the lineup? Why does it still exist?

RAPID uses up to 4GB RAM to speed up the SSDs I/O (assuming RAPID 2.0. If you're on RAPID 1.0, it's 1GB maximum). You use this software to manually choose how much RAM you want to dedicate to ramdisk and what games/other programs will specifically benefit from it. The guy who made it says he'll most likely keep the lowered $29 price. Yeah you'll need to load the files back. Also the reason why you would choose DimmDrive is so you don't have to manually move the files, it's scripted to do that for you. In combination with real time synchronisation, it's basically pay US$29 to make the process hassle free.

It does not. When you enable DimmDrive, it puts the files/programs you've selected onto the ramdisk. What it does then is the new and nice part. It automatically creates a symlink to the ramdisk as part of loading the files so Steam and whatnot don't even realise it's pulling the data from your ramdisk. Finally, DimmDrive writes back changes in real time so even if you suddenly lose power you (theoretically anyway) haven't lost anything. That said, I've tested with Borderlands The Pre-Sequel (the only game I have installed that I could put in its entirety in RAM) and haven't found a decrease in loading times (running G.Skill Ares 16GB 1866MHz) compared to my SSD (Crucial M500 480GB). Your Mileage May Vary as it is dependent on the game pulling data from the drive a lot.

BEAR CLAW!!! or not.

I'd probably learn 3d modelling and animation and use it to render out my projects.

I'd pick the fans as they're the only parts of my system that aren't quiet.

The coolers look so damn nice, though I'm not liking the additional height (even if it wouldn't have any effect on being able to put it in my case).
-
That 'real-world' battery life seems pretty damn good for a gaming laptop. Either that or I've been so jaded that I haven't been looking at laptops for a very long time.

LG G3 Review and.... TWENTY-FIVE Phone Giveaway?!
Tarkhein replied to LinusTech's topic in LTT Releases
Dat Resolution. I'm not liking the multi-task delay compared to the HTC One (M8) though. The buttons on the back look a little odd but it honestly seems like a better choice than side buttons; how long does it take to get used to the different button placement? Beyond that, modifying the bottom set of buttons seems interesting. -
The aspects I like about the M8 already existed in the M7; the metal chassis and the front facing speakers. Beyond that, the only thing that interests me that isn't in the M7 are the phone waking gestures so I don't have to keep pressing the power button to wake my phone.

Wrong, a few Nvidia cards have had 1GB VRAM with a 192-bit bus (GTX 460v2 and GTX 560SE have this configuration). This is done by having two 32-bit memory channels assigned to two sets of memory chips instead of one (normally all are assigned the same number of chips). The minimum to run a 192-bit bus is also not 1.5GB (wasn't that long ago mainstream cards had 768MB VRAM with a 192-bit bus). EDIT: re-checked the channel width of GDDR5.

is it me or has seasonic been dropping the buck lately?
Tarkhein replied to NickyVida's topic in Power Supplies
Silverstone units are made by Enhance Electronics. Regarding the Seasonic units dying, have you checked who delivers it? I remember Linus talked a while back about how shipping could be killing PSUs, because these things are tested at the factory to be working before they're shipped out to wholesalers (who then ship it to retailers and who then ship it to you).
