I will project my interest about.... meh, I suck at finding puns about this!

I started personnally with watching Tom's hardware videos (Specially that one with the CPUs dying while playing Quake -- anyone remember that?). But then I found Linus's NCIX videos, and haven't looked back since!

Hey guys, I've been searching on the internet for a while. Seems that the drivers for the E2200 for Windows 8 cause some BSODs. I read on the internet and it seems any computer with the chip in them has the issue, but in different degrees. For example. my computer (With the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming) throws a BSOD once every 1-2 weeks. But I seen people posting on other forums with MSI's G-series laptops crashing more often. Also some people on Gigabyte's Sniper series. So this is just a beware for potential buyers until they release updated drivers.

Hey guys. Today, I noticed something. I've been the user of an iPhone for a good 6 months. In those 6 months, I changed plans maybe about 4 times. Why? Basically, it seems canadian wireless providers (As of late, anyway) switch their plans very frequently. When I got the phone back in December, I got a plan for 85$ a month, 400 minutes, 350mb data. Now, I have a plan for 60$ a month, Unlimited minutes and long distance (in Canada), and 3gb of data. So if you're the type to just silently pay your wireless bills, sometimes, pay a visit on their website, you might be greeted with a nice surprise!

See... Before, I was an advocate of the 'I hate Windows 8's lack of a classic start menu' bandwagon, but since 8.1.... Yes, there's a start menu now, and it does still go to metro. But it's still so close to the normal menu that I don't think I mind anymore. I press start, the Arrow down to get to all apps, and select the app I want in the ALPHABETIZED list. What did I do on the old start menu? Start, All programs, and select the app I want in the ALPHABETIZED list. Really not sure it's worth bitching about anymore, in my case anyway...

Hey guys, This is just a warning for those using Windows 8.1 preview, seems the Lucid Virtue feature on (at least the Haswell ones) cpus makes Windows 8.1 BSOD right after installing the driver. Had to go in safe mode to uninstall the software, and in the BIOS to disable LV. Figured I'd warn people in case some use it!

This is amazing.... Keep up the good work, this is gonna be a masterpiece!

I meant more that it's smaller. Takes less space and it's easier to maneuver

Yeah I'm starting to think I should have spent the extra 30-40$ and gotten an H100...

Aiite took me 3 hours, just to find out that it didn't boot. Removed video card. That ain't it. So, I was at testing the RAM. Problem here is that the heatsink was covering the ram. This heatsink is HUMONGOUS! So yeah it was a stick of ram. Part of a pack, so they're both out. Went from 12gb ram to 4. Got 2 sticks of 8gb on order at NCIX, I'll hopefuilly get them friday. So I promised you tech pr0n, here it is! XD The motherboard , bare naked, with the CPU mounted The motherboard, now burdened with the heatsink Space left between the heatsink and video card

More to come tonight!

I'm not really an overclocker. I might try the basic OCgenie, but I never really did OC before.

So, I am supposed to get today my new motherboard/CPU to refresh my Intel Core i7 2600. I know I won't see much of a difference, but a friend of mine is buying my current one for 300$, so that made it worth it. Current system: MSI P67A-G43, CPU: i7 2600 (Not K) Going to: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Intel Core i7 4770k, Zalman CNPS12X Pure Copper/Aluminium heatsink (It looked like a decent heatsink and had a big rebate...) I'll post pictures once I change it, kind of a before/after :)

There used to be iPC, iDeneb... There's one kid from the eastern part of the globe I think that's been making half-decent distros too, Kiresh I think his name is? But I learned how to do my own. Also, doing it that way teaches you how things work

Cool contest! Good luck, everyone! My facebook page (Made sure the share is set to 'Public' https://www.facebook.com/farchord?hc_location=stream Twitter page: https://twitter.com/AoWC_Farchord

To move your personal files, create the folders on your D drive, and just go in C:\Users\YourUsername\ and right-click on the folders there, click on Properties. I believe it's in the Location tab, you can change where it resides.

Hey guys, I have a PCIE 2.0 board (MSI P67-GD43) and an i7 2600, can I pull the full potential of this card or will PCI-E 2.0 be a bottleneck?

Aiite for this you'll need to mess with the Windows registry. What you need: 1- Another computer with the same OS as you, and same arch (32-bit or 64-bit has to match) 2- A USB key, or even a floppy. The file needed is small. You can also transfer the file over the network if you'd like. On the 2nd computer, go in Services. Find the Windows Audio service and double-click on it. You'll see the 'friendly' name for the service. (Should be AudioSrv). Then, open regedit. WARNING: This is the good ol' 'Do this at your own risk' line. I'm not responsible for what happens. Go in HKEY_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services Find the folder (Or as it's called here, 'key') called that friendly name. It should be called AudioSrv. Right-click on AudioSrv, click on 'Export'. Save somewhere and export it to the other computer. On the other computer, just double-click on the reg file, and execute it. Reboot, and cross fingers.

I'd say either the Motherboard or the PSU....

How long have you waited? I've seen a chkdsk sometimes take a good 30mins to terminate. Specially if there's ALOT of errors.

It's a matter of less than 50$ difference for a 2-3 generations gap of performance.... I would wait for haswell, unless your computer has blown up and you need a replacement right away...
