    How did the verizon iphone get away without having them?

    My favorite thing is that they copied apples color scheme.

    I bought a bitfenix spectre fan to replace the front 200mm intake fan on my 650D but unfortunately the mounting options for that fan are different than those on the original fan and the screws are not long enough to install the fan with the correct air flow direction. Can anyone tell me where I could find longer screws that are threaded the same way as the traditional fan screws? I am also open to suggestions for rubber fan mounts that could reach to mount the fan. Thank you

    Why is this a no from everyone? Not arguing just curious what makes it bad? Ive been extremely happy with my headphones especially since i got them for $80. They are nice on my iphone and sound way better on my laptop so I figured a sound card or DAC would boost the experience further. What are my options?
  9. SnowBob
    Hello guys, someone at my school is selling this sound card. I've been interested in getting one for a while but don't know much about them. Is this one worth getting? Are there any concerns with it? I use Klipsch Reference One Headphones and would use this for music not gaming or movies. Would like to hear your opinions on it. Thank you http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/sys/4200042863.html

    There was a blog post about connecting corsair RM power supplies to corsair link on the corsair website last week but it had since been taken down. I wasn't sure what the RM power supplies were and though they might be an older model or an OEM model but I guess it was referring to this new power supply. THere were no pictures or details in the article though.

    I play Diablo III on my integrated HD4000 on a 3770k, sold my graphics card and am waiting for 800 series from nvidia

    Try the sRGB preset. Some things may be too dark so turn up the brightness but I don't have an issues with things being washed out

    Lol thank you for reading. I was thinking maybe there is a way to tell within device manager details Sort of, they are labeled in the manual but the internal header is called 4_5 which I know runs off the intel chipset but does not help figuring out which backside ports are running off.

    I have a AsRock z77 Extreme4 and am trying to decide which USB 3.0 should I prioritize to use. The manual mentions that you use use native SATA 3 Ports so i think the logic applies to USB ports. It does not say which USB ports run off the chipset vs the add on. Is there a way I can identify which is which on the back of the motherboard? Thanks

    Thats a hard question to answer. Really depends what you are used to. I have a logtiech 5.1 system that was already setup before I got the monitor so ofcourse that I can't compare. When I watch TV I have a real 5.1 medial system setup there and when Im not home I use $180 headphones so as for me no they are not good haha If you have a laptop, expect something a little better than that but not as good as a tv. I guess small TV speaker would be a good comparison. They get decently loud but sound hollow.

    If you are able to see them side by side in some kind of store like frys your will notice how much larger a 27" screen is compared to a 23" very easily but you wont notice the reduced quality as much. Its a trade off but ive certainly gotten used to it going from a 23" 1080p screen and prefer the larger one. You will really appreciate it if you watch videos on your computer or play games. Also having a larger screen will let you work multiple documents at the same time without having to zoom in to see the text easily. I had the same debate when I choosing between the two models as you are and certainly have no regrets going with the larger one.

    I sit about two feet away from my MX279H and its perfect distance. I have good eye sight and at this distance im not tempted to lean in like i do with smaller screens. Check them out at a store if you can. 27" 1080p doesnt look bad unless you slam your face against it -- in which case you wouldn't even see the whole screen.

    That's not what happens. They do that when process yields chips with one or two cores non functioning within their spec. Maybe this means the core does not work at all or it may mean it needs to much voltage or produces too much heat. For the record, this happened very often on the Phenom II X2 and X3 chips. Bios settings could unlock the "locked" cores on some cpus that AMD deemed non-functioning. Also happened on the reference Radeon 6950 card where you could install 6970 BIOS and have access to extra steam processors.

    Should we be happy for you? There is nothing commendable about taking advantage of someone.

    Giveaway 1: 749 Thanks for doing this!

    I have the MX279H. I am very pleased with it but I did pay $50 extra fro it compared to other 27" ips panels for the looks but also for the stand. I cant stand it when the monitor shakes as I type. It happens with this one too but not too much. I went to frys and best buy to check out their displays that had the sturdiest stand and this one was the winner. I can recommend it

    TO answer question 1, standard turbo boost only boosts one core to 3.9 ghz. So one way you could verify if you are still getting that 3.9 boost is to run a prime95 on a single thread and check the core speed that way. For me I reach 3.85 in windows 8 task manager. Another way to check is to use intel turbo boost technology monitor available on their website. it will show you when your cpu is boosting and to what clock
  23. SnowBob
    Can you put it on google docs and share it? or just copy and paste it into the thread? I am curious about what you found.

    before you unount your cooler make sure it is mounted properly. If you look in corsair link, there is a temperature for the h100i temp and cpu temp. When under load, your h100i temp should be rising with your cpu temp, for mine, when i play bf3, cpu is at about 60 and coolant at 50. if there is a big difference between the cpu and h100i temp then that means you are not making good contact with the cpu and the cooler should be remounted. i am running stock 3770k with about ~75 F room temp on the quest preset for the fans however i am using the SP120 performance edition fans

    No cd drives would increase your fps at all. It could help you install a game faster if you bought it on disk but would never help your fps.
