  1. My favorite thing about the phone is the SIZE and resolution of the display! The awesome back buttons don't hurt either. My sure to thank LG for me for this giveaway Linus!

  3. Thanks again for the giveaway Linus! Always exciting to see the company you built from the ground up prosper. The thing that sold me about the m8 is definitely the speakers. I'm a sound fanatic at heart and it irks me exceptionally when I forget my headphones and can't enjoy music because of it. Although it may sound silly, having an IR sensor also didn't hurt, as I like to mess with the administration at my school by turning whatever I can point at on and off. There's my 2 cents Linus, thanks once more for the opportunity!
  4. Hi everyone participating in the YET AGAIN awesome giveaway(Woohoo)! What I particularly look for in a gaming PC is 2 things:Pure performance, and aesthetics. Both can be summed up with: I want some bragging rights haha. Currently my laptop with integrated graphics achieve neither of those, which is why I'm excited for this giveaway! Have fun everyone and thanks Linustechtips team! Twitter: Here we go! @JonMilwaukee (https://twitter.com/JonMilwaukee/status/373564287681175552) Steam: I'm all in!

  5. you know the cables would look even better if you sewed them. look it up on youtube. that way your cables wont twist around each other and the accented orange wires will be straight all the way along the path
  6. there are people at overclock.net that have a list of people who have delidded ivy and haswell, just scroll down to the members list and select haswell. lowest drop in temp is 14 degrees and highest is 25 degrees. http://www.overclock.net/t/1313179/official-delidded-club
  7. lol you shouldnt recommend or not recommend anything you havent tried. thats like me saying "i havent eaten at subway, but i wouldnt recommend it." the hammer and vice method is the safest, and no one has destroyed their cpu that way. though delidding a soldered cpu is EXTREMELY risky, only a 35% chance of success (overclock.net)
  8. I just delidded my old Celeron 440 last night to get experience delidding before I delid my 4770k, and it went perfectly. I would have used the vice and hammer method but I didn't have a good vice, so i went with the more 'iffy' razer method. I got the IHS off in about 30 minutes and when I put it back in the PC with better thermal paste, I was astonished by the temp drop! Mind you, this is one of the crappiest PC's out there with no air flow into the case, so before I delidded, it would run around 79 degrees celsius idle with one of the crappiest stock coolers ever. This is like a 8 year old PC by the way so i'm not going to bother to upgrade it, this was just a test. after the delidding, the idling temp dropped down to 50 degrees, and while running Prime95 it would not reach over 60. I'm definitely doing this with my 4770k when it arrives.
  9. when you try to boot the system does the power supply fan do 2 complete rotations then stop? if it does then your motherboard's dead.
  10. I'd say use any high quality thermal paste that has good reviews and they will work around the same. you won't notice a HUGE difference between different types of high quality pastes. just make sure it is NON CONDUCTIVE! you wouldnt need non conductive on Ivy cause there is only the cpu die. on haswell there is the vrm to the left of the die so you dont want to short it with conductive thermal paste. though if you trust yourself to not get any paste on the VRM you should be fine.
  11. You do know that overclocking voids the warranty too right? If you want to overclock, and get better temps, better the delid anyways cause you are already gonna void it by delidding
  12. reformat the drive in NTFS if you are going to reformat it. also it sounds like -by the way you're describing it - that you have a corrupt dvd. download win 7 pro iso from here - http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24281.iso (64bit) or here http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24280.iso (32bit) Then get an iso burning software and burn the iso to a dvd. then you should be able to install windows 7 pro from that dvd and your purchased product key
  13. try upgrading the firmware on the ssd. This is the solution that worked for the same problem i had: i installed windows on the computer i needed the drive on, cause if i installed the OS on another PC and moved the drive, it doesnt work. so to make the blank drive recognizable in new UEFI, 1. update firmware 2. make sure it is on AHCI mode. 3.if first two steps fail, reformat the drive.
  14. there are several people on these forums that have done it, or just google IHS delidding and you will get lots of results
  15. make sure not to spin any fans with the air. it will ruin the fan. just hold the fan in place while you spray quick, short bursts.
