Isn't this called zero-rating and against what net neutrality all about?

So much things I'd use this for, but here are the top 3: 1) give it to my dad, who has quite an aging core 2 duo 2) replace my server that's based on an old laptop that doesn't seem it would see the new year. it does run xubuntu and servers as a media server while also running a mumble server for me and my friends. with the extra power I could make it do a lot more. 3) slave for my main pc. I'm a developer and right now running long-lasting unit tests is the bane of my existence and is killing my productivity. I could let the Zotac run those tests while I develop things on my computer. when not busy it would probably run stuff I mentioned in 2).

@nicklmg Any word on this being international?

TL;DR; MSI Afterburner incorrectly shows the 405MHz core clock. Use NVIDIA Inspector to confirm that the GPU is stuck. I know it's been months since the last post, but I came across this problem yesterday while trying to optimize my friends CS: GO settings. He was getting ridiculous FPS drops after a few minutes in game. We used MSi Afterburner to monitor GPU stats (temp, core clk, mem clk, FPS, ...) on another monitor and I noticed that GPU temps were getting up to 93C. So I dropped everything to low, I only kept the resolution at the native 1600x900, and it started working fine. Much lower variation in FPS. Playing with it, I noticed it was doing the dropping as soon as I demanded too much of the GPU. Put only shaders to High, or only Model details. As soon as GPU usage % started hitting 100% it started dropping to really low FPS. This all made me thing of GPU Boost underclocking the card to keep the temps in check. Mind you the temps dropped maybe a degree or 2 when played at low settings. It was then that I noticed the 405 MHz core clock thing. I didn't know the stats of that card, but that seemed way too low. Checked on the interwebs and it was supposed to be 967 MHz. Googling that we found this forum post and did this post said: Unfortunately it didn't work. I kept searching on and came upon a tool called Nvidia Inspector, which also has graphs, similar to Afterburner. Interestingly that one revealed that the core clock wasn't stuck at 405MHz. Actually GPU Boost successfully push it past 1100MHz, but started throttling back once temps got to high. So we found our culprit. BTW, if you run MSI Afterburner just as you start up the computer and look at the CPU core clock speed you'll see it be at 967MHz for a few seconds, drop to zero and then jump to 405 MHz. It will then get stuck at that even when you're in a game and pushing your GPU. Being a programmer makes me think afterburner has a bug that stops it updating that value. Luckily I just borrowed an air compressor from my cousin, as I have to de-dust (get it, CS: GO joke ) it really bad. Anywas, blew out the dust and what do you know. Thing works! And much better at that. GPU was successfully running at 1110MHz, but didn't exceed 80C. We also managed to set higher settings than NVIDIA Experience says is optimal for this game. Hopefully someone finds this helpful in the future. Just a warning, use air compressors to clean your computer at your own risk. I've done it quite a few times now and I'm still very careful how I approach it. A useful tip with those with a compressor with a reservoir is that you can let it build up the internal pressure to a certain point. Most of them have a gauge that shows how much it is. You can then turn the compressor itself off and just use the thing as a compressed air canister. I think we had it at about 1-1.5 bar. But you can blow the air at your hand and judge the pressure like that. (Again, at your own risk ).

Does this brix have a fan?

I really like this case even from a air cooler's perspective. You can put quite a few fans in there and run them really really slow. I hope the illuminated power buttons turn off completely while in sleep. I hated the way Corsair 200R's power LED breaths while in sleep, so I disconnected it. I'm thinking of doing the same with the HDD light. I also really like the sound dampening on both side panels. (I'm not the windows-on-panels kind of a person.) It's clearly stated in the video that there's no optical drive bay. If you need one, there are lots of other cases with 5.25" bays, or use an external drive.

Great review guys! I have a Nexus 5 and was really unimpressed when I learned about Nexus 6. I did notice something that seemed strange: I do think, that's 720p@120hz. Someone forgot to change what they copy/pasted

iPhones come out in October. At least that's the way it was for the last few years.

The number 1 for me is ma Suunto M5 heart rate monitor and watch. It was about 170€ about 1,5 years ago. The stuff works fine on its own, but in this day and age it's also about the integration with other platforms. I can't sync it to my phone, I can't use it with Endomondo or RunKeeper. Not that I can't to that in real time, I can't even export my data from Suunto Moves in a format I'd be able to import to those other sites. And in the end, I can't even sell it for a money where it would be worth it. The other thing is my Logitech G710+. I bought this thing in October 2012. It's my first mechanical keyboard and was one of the few available in the layout that's used in my country. I love the mechanical feel of it, but that's one of the few pros it has. The cons, though. It's way too big (I'm looking to a good tenkeyless now), the "gaming" buttons on the left side are useless for me, and so are the memory buttons up top. Media keys are OK, and I love the volume scroll key. I would have wished there was another step between the lowest light intensity and off, and the cable is way to thick and thus, hard to route around the table. But the first thing for me are the key caps that keep falling off. The worst is when I'm playing games like DiRT with the keyboard and (usually) the left arrow pops off. The F5 and right control are the other two top poppers, but other key pop off from time to time as well. The underwhelming is so strong with this one, that I'm going to get a TKL keyboard with US layout, even if it means re-learning almost ever special character.

This would be an awesome upgrade to my home server that's running on an old laptop of mine.

Sweet giveaway! One of these chips would make a really nice addition to my gaming/ programming rig. Especially now that I can't afford to upgrade my i7 950 as I've just started my own business.

Honestly they're not that big. One of those chips is 128GB. Compared to the iPhone 6+'s storage chip it's pretty there there. I wasn't able to find any dimensions on either chip, but using images from AnandTech for the Samsung 840EVO and from iFixit's iPhone 6+ Teardown the approximate chip sizes are 18.1x14.1mm for 840 EVO and 16.7x11.8mm for the one in iPhone 6+. That not that big of a difference considering that 840 EVO came out more then a year and a half ago. The chip in iPhone 6+ is a 16GB model, but I think the dimensions of the storage chip are the same in all models, even the 128GB one. I would also assume that phone chips aren't as fast as SSD chips as they don't need to be. In the end, I would honestly rather have a thicker phone with 128GB than a very slim one that only has 16GB of storage in it.

That really depends on the way you set it up. On a 24" 1080p It takes up more then half of the screen. I'm not sure what you mean by the last part. It may not be the best thing, but I've tried stuff like Thunderbird and it was worse.

You can buy an 128GB iPhone 6. It'll cost you an arm and a leg, but it's out there. It didn't get deleted, the author pulled it as he couldn't take amount of hate-mail he was getting on the account that the game was so hard. I've read a good interview with the developer Dong Nguyen back then. I'm not sure, but I think this is it: http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/the-flight-of-the-birdman-flappy-bird-creator-dong-nguyen-speaks-out-20140311 From AnandTech: "The 120 and 250GB drives use the smallest PCB, while the other drives [750GB and 1TB] use the larger layout."

Being around one and actually in one are very different things. I don't have any use for Outlook at home whatsoever. Gmail is far superior for my personal needs. But when it comes to a corporate environment, Outlooks just blows it out of the water. Scheduling meetings with built-in room-reservations, shared IMAP inboxes that multiple people use (think support@somecompany.com type emails), etc. And I was not a very advanced Outlook user. It's just a completely different use case than Gmail.
