  1. Spacex is hosting their first ever Hyperloop competition in a bid to inspire innovation in the transportation industry. They have a live-stream available on their site, link below, for you to view in the comfort of your own home. They are going to be testing a few designs today in the vacuum chamber today. Check it out if this sort of stuff interests you. http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop Edit: could this be moved to off topic? I had created this from the wrong tab.
  2. You nearly had it in the title. You can go to superbrightleds.com Those guys have got everything
  3. Unfortunately hard landing, they reported a broken landing leg. Also sad that the video feed cutout.
  4. Cute, you realise DHMO is water. literaly H2O. It is water. You been fooled.
  5. Yeah I also used to think gold was better in those applications, University prof quickly shot that down. On topic though, aluminum is generally a better option for machining since it is such a commonly used metal, the alloys have been tweaked to machine quite easily, Pure copper will not be great but there are certain copper alloys which behave better than aluminum in terms of thermal conductivity while being 'free cutting' for the most part.
  6. Wrong, Silver has the highest electrical conductivity out of the elemental metals. Gold is used for contacts since it is very non reactive and thus exposure to the air will not degrade it's thermal conductivity over time, unlike copper for example. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/resistivity-conductivity-d_418.html BAM!
  7. What board is it? Sometimes there are extra connectors for PCIe power. Are you sure the 4 pin is for the CPU? You will probably be fine with just the 8 pin, if it doesn't boot then you will need the extra connector Edit: sorry just reread the title, Googled the motherboard, saw a review on newegg saying you need to plug in the 4 pin as well. Good luck with the board.
  8. If it works when you unplug the USB headers but fails to function when they are plugged in, I am guessing the cable runs for the USB headers have a short somewhere. Also might want to check your USB devices on another computer.
  9. I think they are fine personally, they send you monthly resupplies. I am in the mid tier, roughly 7 bucks canadian per month I use it to shave my head and face, twice a week every week. I am currently satisfied.
  10. Well when you look on the site for the appropriate mobo, it does not exist. Not even listed as out of stock, my guess is that they no longer sell that mobo.
  11. Just for reference, stock 5820k gets around 980 ish on cinebench R15
  12. Meh, I use solidworks, the Flow simulation will pin all 12 of my threads for the duration of the analysis. I get everything I can out of my hardware.
  13. Looking at their demo vid, I feel that it actually REQUIRES a seatbelt.
  14. I am in the same boat, it takes my computer 45 secs to boot to windows, most of that time is getting through the bios. My mobo, MSI X99s SLI plus, runs through a bunch of codes before finally getting to bios screen then finally start loading windows. I have accepted my fate.
