  1. Shareholders were proposed to be either bought out at a significant premium or permitted to keep their shares with the newly privatized Tesla. I think many shareholders were excited at the prospect of a hefty instant risk-free return on their investment.

  3. Im using the X-Fi Titanium HD which is great. However I would like to recommened getting a antlion mod mic for your Audio Technica's instead of having to use 2 headphones
  4. I have to agree with Ghost. Its a bit of a crap shoot with IVB. The problem most of the time is the heat dissaption of the core itself. So watercooling maybe overkill, but a highend air will probably suffice.
  5. Welcome to the linustechtips forum Alatar nice to see you take some time from being awesome in the subzero ocn forums. BTW your making me too jealous as my TEC arrangement just cant compete on temps.
  6. Linus pick me because you can save on shipping because I live right here in the home of the Canucks :3
  7. These are two completely different phones. Not only are the OS different but the market the phones are aimed at is different. The note II is a phablet while the iPhone 5 in terms of screen size is the absolute minimum. Me personally I would go with the Note II because of Android as well as the enormous screen
  8. I have to agree with the others. TEC's are heat pumps you have to cool the TEC as well. Also as far as TEC's go they are pretty mediocre at best. I am currently running 4x40mm TEC at 15v and the temps are -10 idle ish. Honestly phase change is the way unless you want to chill water and deal with condensation over every tube you have....
  9. The only difference between the two is that the i7 has hyperthreading so it has double the virtual cores and the i5 does not. The reason why the i7 is "better for editing" is because it often is able to utilize the extra cores. Games however do not use many cores due to consoles.
  10. This looks like a very promising regular mass manufactured case. However for $350 I feel like this case is treading into the more niche case terretories such as CaseLabs and LittleDevil which I feel are far superior to the 900D.
  11. If anyone lives in Hong Kong I've seen a Topre Realforce in store for demo during my travels. I believe it was in Wan Chai Computer Center.
  12. For higher resolutions you defintley want more VRAM. So for that I recommend the HD7970. I was actually about to switch to a 7970 from a 680 myself.
  13. Pink Donut please read this before you make a purchase. As a Canadian buying from FrozenCpu or PPCS you are going to be hit by massive brokerage fees (Ive received bills up to 300$ in brokerage) . Try your best to buy from the locals first before you buy outside. Dazmode.com and NCIX are too good sites within Canada that sell watercooling. Also try Aquatuning.us.
  14. I have a topre keyboard and love it to bits. I have used MX Reds, Blacks, Blues and Browns, but none compare to my topre. I would just like to spread the joy to all those who may not have the pleasure of knowing what a topre is. Its basically a hybrid ruberdome and mechanical switch which feels like stiffer and softer browns. However they come at a price XD (300 USD min)
  15. I think the Hyper 212 Evo heatsink and MX-4 Thermal Paste are all you need. Too mount a cpu cooler all you have to do is clean off the old thermal past with a good paper cloth and to make sure to clean up the left over fibers with a microfiber dipped in rubbing alcoho . Next you need to put a pea size (small; less is more) of MX-4 in the center of the cpu. Lastly put the CPU cooler on. *NOTE Dont touch the base of the heatsink or the CPU as human oil is very bad for heat transmission.
  16. I currently have a Crucial M4, but now I am a firm believer in the Samsung 840 Pro. It is one of the fastest SSD's on the market and because Samsung is such a big company it can manufacture every part of the SSD themselves. No part has to be outsourced which in my opinion really increases the quality control.
  17. Im going to be honest here. I dont think you will notice any amping difference because of the headphones. I recommend you buy a better pair of audiophile headphones if that is an option if you are looking for good audio e.g. Sennheiser, Audio-technica, Beyerdynamic, AKG etc. Regarding the soundcard I recommend a Asus Xonar DG as it is a very good starting sound card.
  18. Honestly I think EK get a really bad rep out of bad luck. Honestly they are a good company. The only thing that stops me from buying EK is the circle-thingies....
  19. CORSAIR and GSkill are both good companies. However I have to say that RAM over 1600mhz has very little noticeable performance gain.
