    EcoBoost got a reaction from RockSolid1106 in computer turns off when i plug in fan   
    Then there's likely a short circuit occurring in the fan itself, the fan's connector, or somewhere in between. Possibly bad soldering of the wires onto the fan PCB

    If they are accurate about definitions, processing should mean that they are currently working on getting your order shipped (filling out info, getting the item from warehouse, packing it, etc.) while pending means that there's nothing being done on it because it's delayed for some reason (oos, backorder, etc.).

    EcoBoost got a reaction from BrightCandle in Need a GPU that can output to 3 NON displayport at once   
    Most newer mid-range Nvidia cards can do 3+ monitors without an active DP adapter. My Gigabyte GTX 750 (non-Ti) 2GB can do two over DVI + one HDMI.

    New aftermarket 1080s are still yet to be released. I'd wait for a wider selection to be available before making up your mind on one particular version.

    EcoBoost got a reaction from Paul Grezeman in S7 Edge micro-sd card - Will it slow down the phone?   
    Accessing something stored on the card will be slower than accessing something stored on the phone, but it won't slow down the phone as a whole. Apps installed to SD card will likely take longer to load unless you get a really high end card. However if you just use it for media and the phone storage for apps, you should have no issues.

    That's what I thought myself, but after going though it carefully and sanding it down with a nail file rather than cutting too close with scissors, it worked. After doing it quite a few times for people, I've actually never broken a SIM by cutting it. It sounds harder than it is.

    Yes, but you'll have to trim your sim down to size as S4 uses a MicroSIM while S7 uses a NanoSIM. 
     
    I always try cutting it anyways, cause even if it breaks, you'll have had to buy a new one anyways. It's not like you have anything to lose. And if you have sharp scissors and a nail file it's not that hard.

    Any song that is mastered correctly is good. Just make sure the song uses all the frequencies and you would be able to tell. I'll just drop links to whatever's on the Top 40 right now.

    Hotel California is probably one of the best reference songs for any set of speakers (and simply a great listen). Plus having the song in FLAC is nice, but hefty at 100MB's.

    EcoBoost reacted to MoonSpot in Good songs for testing sound quality?   
    Songs that you listen to the most would be the ones that you'll notice the differences in when going from one sound system to another.  Pretty difficult to pick out difference when you're unfamiliar with a track, unless the speakers are complete crap where distortions are obvious. (100 years and there are still bad speakers being made, surreal)

    EcoBoost reacted to Volbet in Good songs for testing sound quality?   
    The best answer would be to test songs you are familiar with. It is tough to tell the difference between system if you don't have a reference point. 
    Another good rule would be to use songs that are well mastered. I would argue that this includes songs that aren't mastered too loudly aswell. 
     
    I know Hotel Califonia was mentioned. That is a great reference song. I would also suggest Money by Pink Floyd, Sabrina by Einstürzende Neubauten, Ghosts 'n Stuff by Deadma5, Blue in Green by Miles Davis and Bjarkan by Wardruna.
    These are just examples and there is plenty of other good reference songs out there.
