    or buy the PS, and buy a cable from any local electronic store. they make em pretty simple these days. Pretty sure there isn't even a 220-240 switch nowadays.

    Pretty sure the power requirement is 220-240V. Israel uses 220 right?

    nothing in the products sheet, reports say that AM boards need a horizontal mount (not an issue here) and that ram clearance is 45 mm (so low profile or ram without a heat sink basically) I couldn't find any info on offset with a quick search.

    Why not just hardwire in a switch to short the contacts? or even just leave a couple of wires in the requisite pins, and just short them as needed?
  5. slightlyjaded
    Have you checked the spec sheet? run it against memory offset on the motherboard, and clearance against memory height?

    Why is no one ever worried about their 1080ti bottlenecking their 6700k? Sigh, both are possible. If you're in a massively cpu heavy load (video rendering, some mmo's or open world games) then yes, your cpu is probably going to bottlenck your graphics card. A 6700k will also run windows 7... just pointing that out.

    Someone uses facebook because of their security? oh wait soccer moms/ and dads... we're inclusive.

    sure, if it meets your requirements. There's always going to be compromises. It's probably going to run hot. Your input options are going to be shit out of the box, and you've got a screen the size of kira knightley's tatas. If you're fine with that, then every one of those is fixable. You can plug it into a monitor, or a TV. You can plug in a mouse or keyboard. You can run at lower settings so as not to spike your thermals, and there's always totally unnecessary plastic surgery for the other.

    The keyboards were pretty sweet. and pointer was pretty close to the best implementation on a laptop I've seen, once you got used to it. My one was a 486 DX75/4? it might have been awhile. running win95 which made it crash pretty reguarly, and required me rebuilding it on a regular basis... totally worth it.

    You're right, It was what I heard at the time, but they're not exactly rushing out to tell me their inner corporate workings. The dxdiag file I saw said it came from ibm. It said it was an ibm thinkpad, excuse me if I was a little busy, and actually had to do my job and didn't stop to email myself a screenshot from someone else's computer. It is possible it was one of the last thinkpads released before they sold the business. I find it unlikely that an major multinational would still have it's sales reps using almost pristine 5 year old thinkpads, especially with the average sales rep's approach to portable technology, but hey, I suppose it's possible.

    Think you mean lenovo. But I will tell you I was suprised as hell to see it. I even had to take a peak at it's dxdiag to confirm. IBM sold their consumer brand to lenovo, and paid a hefty bill when they did aparently, They kept their corporate contracts.
  12. slightlyjaded
    Umm. they don't have to. I actually ran into an IBM thinkpad that a rep had (no, not lenovo) IBM does still make thinkpads, they just seem to only make them for corporate customers. Even had the little rubber clit.... and I just got flagged.

    I've always refered to them as base. They're merely a different way of visualising numbers. think of an abacus (old school I know, but I'm old.) in decimal, the way we're taught to think from year dot, each line has ten beads. we count through one row, we flick a bead on the next row, and reset the first row. the problem is computers can't deal with base ten as they only have two state (except quantumn, you get into those, and we'll talk later) so we're really dealing with base of 2. off or on, 0 or 1. you abacus now only has two beads on each row, and there's lots of rows. hexadecimal mainly is a way to express large amounts of base 2 data basically it can express up to 4 sets of binary data far quicker than base 2 hope this helps explain some of the background.

    The usual issues for this are temp or power. Either the system doesn't have enough power to support the components (not normal in a modern solution, they're pretty efficent) More likely is temp, maybe a cpu cooler fan that has failed, or has somehow disconnected?

    Same, I have a 900D that I was planning on building 2 SLi rig in, never needed the extra room. lots of room for extra ssd's for gaming though. Ali bends if you breath on it.

    Electrically the connections are the same, it's just a difference in form factor.

    The response to a RMA was please mail it back to the closest RMA site (taiwan, I'm australian, and the cheapest option from a courier they would accept was 240 dollars) I am perfectly content bagging corsair out to any australian customer thinking of buying their products. I have universally found their products expensive, cheap build quality, and prone to failure. The only product that I've brought from corsair that I was happy with was their domi ram. Of a half dozen products totalling a few grand, it is the only product I haven't had a problem with. I'd say that's a pretty good baseline to form an opinion of corsair's quality assurance.

    I've found one easily accessable cfg file, but I don't know enough about unity to even know where to start, or even if it's the right file. My only advice at this moment is that if you have a different audio output possible (headphones maybe) to give them a try.
  19. slightlyjaded
    I'd suggest mineral oil, but you're using pvc. Maybe synthetic motor oil?

    Sorry, I'm a windows 7 philestine, so, I don't exactly have any issues with microsoft's latest and greatest... (thank god) did I say that out loud? There's nothing directly within Ori I could find, it's a bit primitive. The only thing I could suggest without looking deeper into it is looking for a cfg file somewhere within the file structure.
  21. slightlyjaded
    Had a peak, nothing in game, but this thread does mention the same issue. One fix mentioned through compatibility mode, and one through disabling audio enhancements. Ingame audio adjustment is very consolish. https://steamcommunity.com/app/387290/discussions/0/154645299385797734/

    I'd suggest a power supply issue, especially with a new power supply. It doesn't require much diiference, just an instability in the sine wave, or a little difference in the supply voltage. unfortunantly the only way to confirm this is to get into the nitty gritty with a multimeter and actually start measuring the difference between supply and demand voltages as it goes through the motherboard which I suspect is where your problem really lies with an old motherboard. Much like replacing a motor in a car puts strain on every other component, a computer can react the same.
  23. slightlyjaded
    Okay, first thing is to check your windows output (seems obvious but I have to mention it) use another program, and check output) Next, go into the audio tab in settings/ options and make sure the audio output is the output that you do use. If this is the case, then go to your hardware provider and make sure you have the latest driver for your hardware (usually realtek in this day and age, can get a little buggy though)

    So, and I hate to recomend them after my issues, earlier model logitech. The powerplay mat fixes every single battery issue you might have, just find something compatible with it. if you're not sold. razer came out with something similar recently, and new madcatz is supposed to drop something next month, but no word that I've heard on an eta.

    I'm being lazy here so, twin 120mm in the front as intake with a filter? single fan on a tower cpu cooler, probably forcing air backwards (standard sort of setip) which means your best choice IMO is a single rear venting 120mm fan.positive case pressure so a reduction in dust builup, and you reinforce the natural airflow from your existing fans.
