    correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly confident most of the water systems in the USA are gravity fed, hence why they work during power outages. That's also why you see water towers near highways and the like. I don't think a large portion, rather a very small bit of the overall total, of the US water system is being forcibly pumped anywhere

    I have yet to have a TV provider that actually had 1080p support....they are all 1080i at best in my area that I have been able to use over the years and some, i.e. Charter cable, only broadcast certain "HD" channels in 720p so 4k is still not viable at least in metropolitan Birmingham, AL

    @LinusTech new shirt idea

    this is slightly on and off topic, but the voice commands on my xbox one confuse me sometimes. I got really angry at the console the other day and yelled "Xbox, f*ck you!" and it then muted my volume. Now I can say that phrase to mute and unmute my a/v audio

    I know it's to promote Crossfire compatibility, but it still cracks me up that their is an AMD logo on an intel platform motherboard

    It's always interesting to see the insides of computers like this....although I have never fully understood Apple's affinity for using daughter boards on their systems (the new mac pro trashcan looks like there are 10+ daughter boards inside that thing)

    I just wish Microsoft would allow the Mac versions of Office to have VBA functionality. Office for Mac is not a "full" version as there is no developer mode to use with VBA code (i.e. a lot of my job is making templates in Excel that have VBA code running in the background to create sales orders and things, and these templates are NOT compatible with Mac because Mac cannot handle (or Microsoft will not allow the Mac version to handle) the VBA code.

    I play on Xbox One. I;m a level 26 Warlock right now. I have tried the VOG and it was brutal (we had a 29, 25,26, 27, 25, 23). I would be in for giving it a go with you. PM me and I'll send you my gamertag.

    Isn't VDSL somewhat already rolled out? I'm fairly positive my Uverse internet is "VDSL". I get 45mbps down with 2 bonded phone lines.

    I disagree with this statement as the MAC versions of office do not have support for visual basic, so any custom things done to say an Excel template (.XLT) file type will not work properly on MACs.

    this should be an interesting debate.....the only cards I have any firsthand experience with are the 7770 radeon and the gtx 780...so between those two the 780 lol

    IMO the Kraken X41 is your best bet as its thicker than the other single 140 AIOs. Pair it with 1 or 2 Noctua PPC fans and you should be good to go

    just a heads up I am parting this PC out via the classifieds. If I haven't listed something already in a classified, PM me to see if I plan on selling it (just about everything in the case is up for grabs)

    other than extremely large capacity drives, I would assume there is a cost benefit to the larger form factor as it has been around much longer. For SSDs this is irrelevant as they are relatively new and the extra space in a 3.5" enclosure wouldn't be used economically. honestly I think it just comes down to drive manufacturers not having to change their assembly and manufacturing lines in plants as well as a cost benefit and that gives you your answer

    I am a bit confused as I have 2 of this exact monitor and have had zero ghosting issues. Are you saying that you have overclocked the panels? Or have you now begun to see ghosting without and tampering with the panels? reason I ask is my monitors are both left at factory settings and I have not had any issues like you are describing.

    I have this exact drive as my main drive (1TB HDD for random stuff and a 512gb SSD for games) and this thing is stupid fast. I highly recommend, especially with the much better price than what I paid.

    so what I am hearing here is that if I take my 20 dollar microwave and super glue it to a spacesuit I can zip about in space......I'm in

    I wasn't a fan of the green at first, but it works well now that I can see the build in full form. Congrats on the excellent work!

    I grabbed one and just installed it last night. Literal boot from completely off takes 16 seconds. At that point I am in windows and on Chrome. this was able to take the place of 3 drives in my system, so now I have this as my boot drive and a blue 1tb hdd for redundancy and other files

    For the amount of money you are going to spend on 8 120gb SSDs, just grab the 1TB verison of the 840 EVO for 480 bucks. You will save yourself hassle as it's one drive and it will be significantly cheaper.

    So I have only now messed with the led lighting affects on my SLI 780s and noticed a cool trick......if you have an EVGA pro SLI bridge it will also mimic and be incorporated into the selected led effect I.e. if you choose the strobe effect it will alternate strobing the LEDs between the cards and the bridge.....not sure if this has been covered before but I haven't as of yet ran across this info

    I ran the Noctua 140mm fans. Check the specs on them as they offer something like 3 mm of static pressure. The new 2000rpm Noctua PPC fans I am currently running have a ridiculous 4 mm of static pressure at 12v

    This is 3C off from switching from the H110 with the normal Noctua AF-F14 fans in push/pull to the X61 with the same fans. Once I added the 2000 RPM Noctuas I can now have the cpu idle between 32-35C in roughly (I didn't measure the ambient temp this time) the same temp room. In total, switching to the X61 with the 2000 Rpm Notcuas yielded consistent drops in idle temps of 5C

    Just overclocked to 4.7

    X61 came in today. Using the noctua fans I had it shaved about 3C off my idle cpu temps to roughly 37C in a 27C room
