  1. No, one set of 4x8GB (Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 32GB, Kit w/4x8GB XMS3 DHX, CL10-10-10-27, for Intel P67/Z68 and X79,1.5v).
  2. I'm now running 16GB in the slots the manual recommends, and it's shown properly and with the correct speed everywhere, so hopefully it's stable at least. I removed the motherboard to check it out, and found no damage and nothing that shorted anything underneath it. However, on its underside I found residue that made me think there has been liquid there that dried out. The case I used before the current one had my motherboard laying horizontally, and the reason I swapped case was to get space for the new and thicker cooler, H105 (compared to the old one, H100i, and I also got space between my GTX 780s which made them run cooler), cause the old one, the H100i cooled the CPU less and less over time, but its pump kept reporting RPM until I stopped using it. So I'm thinking it might have been leaking fluid. So i wonder if maybe the fluid has broken something. Linking to pictures of what I'm talking about. http://imgur.com/a/DkXe2
  3. I guess I'll have to take it apart and look at it. Not sure what it might be, but what do I know. Need to test the RAM slots as well, will do that first
  4. I recently moved my hardware to another case, and now my PC only utilizes 24 out of 32 GB. And it gets a BSOD quite often, sometimes in-game, but mostly when I quit the game (GTAV). I checked every stick one by one, and in BIOS they all register, but with all in, I see only 24 GB, but I do see all the sticks. I checked in CPU-Z, it says 32 GB, but did say triple channel. Then I turned it off, removed the power cable and removed all the sticks but one, reset the BIOS, added all the sticks again, set XMP Profile 1 which set the RAM to it's specs, 1600MHz, 10-10-10-27. It still only sees 24 GB, but now CPU-z says it's Quad channel, but still only 24 GB. I wonder if I broke something when I moved the motherboard (I did not remove the CPU and RAM while transferring it to the other case, but since they all register, I don't know. Anyone got any idea what it might be? (the two pictures of the BIOS are from before I set it to XMP Profile 1)
  5. I want the Excalibur v2 as I need the lights!
  6. For me the headphones are the favorite, simply because high quality headphones (including sound quality) isn't a common thing, which is why I don't use gaming headphones now. These are beautiful and look very well made. But all of these items have a very professional, beautiful and sleek look and looks better than most other PC peripherals I've seen. Also, that this is a global giveaway is awesome, thanks!
  7. I have the Logitech G502 Proteus Core. It's nice and all, good shape, but there were too many buttons, some I hit when I do flick movements (I play FPS), so I keep pushing the wrong button and start doing taunts in the middle of fights. It's not good. And I can't rebind that (no, I can't).
  8. A couple of weeks ago I got the mid level, or even low level, phone LG Spirit 4G LTE (LG-H440n). It's not a super fast phone, but it does what I need, got a 720p screen works just fine for me. I also have a Nexus 7 (2013), so I don't really need anything more, it's also cheap even without a plan. I'm quite happy with it. But now after a couple of weeks of use, it's out of space. It has 8GB internal storage, and I can add a microSD card, which I haven't done yet. I checked what was on it, and it seems (as the images I attached show) it's "System Data" that takes up more than half of the storage, and no app or anything else seem to be using more space than it should. I contacted LG in Norway via their site, and the answer was that this is the amount of storage system data uses on this phone. But I have serious doubts that this is actually true. I searched around for this problem and how to fix it, and it seems a few get it fixed, at least temporary, with the code *#9900#, but that did nothing for me, the code does not work, the menu it should show does not show, I get the message "Connection problem or invalid MMI code" which it seems many get. I found some codes for LG, it seem they start with *#*#, and end with #*#*, but it still did not work. Also, those who has this problem don't all own LG phones, actually I don't think I saw someone else with an LG phone who had it, so I think it's just an Android issue, not a brand specific one. So I have no idea how to fix this, except maybe a hardware reset, which I would love to not have to do for obvious reasons. So I'm hoping anyone here has some ideas on how to fix this *crossing fingers*
  9. My favorite size is full size, but for gaming I would like a smaller one as I don't need all the keys, and with a full keyboard with my mouse and keyboard in the most comfortable position, I keep hitting my keyboard with my mouse when moving it while I play. Very annoying!

  11. Nice giveaway My favorite is the Kuhler 1250. I like that they are going a bit of a different way than most other AIO coolers, not just to be different, but to see if something other than the safe standard could work as well.
  12. ONCE! What to include. I can tell you the story of me and the cars I've owned. It's a sad story, really, it is. I didn't get my drivers license until 2010, two days before my 32nd birthday. I then had a Citroën XM waiting for me. I bought it from the sister of a close friend. It had some leaks (not the usual Citroën problems, just normal oil leaks), and the engine was bad, so their father (my friend and his sister) who's a mechanic, told me he could swap it for me, so I bought the car (6 months before I got my license). When he was going to fix it, he got a pipe through his foot, so he was out sick for half a year, then after than he wasn't in very good shape and retired, not able to swap the engine after all, but he did come and fix the oil leaks for me, and as it happened, the engine was actually find after all. So I used that car for a couple of months, then the clutch started slipping, and the water pump went bad, so it leaked a lot of coolant, so I had to always have a few bottles of water on hand (it was summer, so no need for anti freeze). I bought a new water pump and clutch, didn't have the money to get them swapped, and the Citroën being so cramped in the engine bay I didn't dare do it myself. So I didn't get it swapped, but got another car very cheap, so I parked the Citroën hoping I'd get it fixed later as it was perfect inside, no wear marks, and outside it wasn't half bad either, and mechanically, except the clutch and water pump, it was excellent, and if you've driven a Citroën, you know it's an extremely comfortable ride. Here's my Citroën XM 2.1TD Break being picked up, ready to be crushed The other car was a Nissan Laurel with a 2.8L diesel engine. It looked strange I thought, but I liked the sound. It wasn't fast either, but at least it sounded great due to a small leak in the exhaust, kinda like a big American engine, only with even less power. The sound: I used that for a long time (half a year at least). During this time I realized something was stealing electricity from the battery when the car was off, so for longer time parking, I had to disconnect the battery. Then one of the two mounts for the driver side door broke due to rust, so it got really hard to close the door, so after a couple of months of that, I closed it, but due to the mount being off, the top of the door was farther out than it was supposed to, so at speed, there was air noise and wind inside. So I covered that with duct tape and then I had to start climbing in and out of the car via the passenger side door. Now I had two cars that wasn't possible to use in a normal way. So I put the Citroën up for sale as I had really grown to love the Laurel and wanted to fix it up some day, but I was not allowed by my land lord to have more than two cars parked outside. No one wanted the car. I tried to sell it for the amount you get when you trash it, but still. A perfectly good car with the parts that needed to be changed in the price. It was very sad, and I decided I had to trash it. But I still needed a car, so I my friend who's sister I had bought the Citroën from let me use his BMW 525 as he had bought a new car himself. This had a problem with the starter, and to get a starter that is broken to start, you either short it or knock it into action with something hard, so everytime I was going to start the car I had to open the hood, try to short/knock the starter into action. Then the lights started acting out, then the radiator started leaking, a lot. That car then got parked and I needed a car again. I was without a car for a couple of months before I could afford a new one, and then I came across another Nissan Laurel, a facelifted version of the one I had parked outside. This one was almost in perfect condition in every way. It had been owned by mechanics its whole life, the guy who owned it didn't want to sell it to some kids that wanted to lower it etc., so I had to promise him I wouldn't do that. The car was in southern Norway, I live on top of Norway, so I flew down, saw the car, bought it and started the 2000 km drive home. This was winter time, and here we drive through Sweden to get the shortest, straightest road to the north, so that's where I drove. Whenever I passed a big rig I slowed down due to the snow blowing behind it as it made you not able to see anything for a few seconds, I also positioned the car close to the edge of the road to be farther away from the rig. Then one time a rig was coming close a car came out of the snow blowing behind it, trying to pass the rig. This was very close to me, so I had to get myself even farther out on the edge of the road, and as it was snow everywhere, you couldn't see the actual edge of the asfalt, so my right wheels went off the road, I got caught in the snow and was pulled into the forrest through the, luckily, new snow. I ended up between the trees, only touched one slightly on the front left of the car, breaking the indicator and fender. The snow was all new and soft, so I had plowed through it. Had it been warmed up only to freeze again, it would have been hard and my car would have been completely ruined. The car behind me which saw it all stopped. As luck would have it, he was a retired EMT and knew the number to all the local tow cars, so the tow car was there within 20 minutes, out there in the middle of now where in the Swedish forest landscape. When the car was pulled up, I saw the indicator and fender damage, and the channel below the right side doors was pushed in, so those doors became really hard to close. Opened the hood and saw the engine bay full of snow. We got that out and saw that except for the belts for power steering and air condition compressor, everything was fine. So no more dry air and power steering, but that wasn't a big problem. And I was soon on my way home. Here is a video of the car being pulled up from the snow: Fixing the channel (not sure if it's called than in English) below the right side doors would cose around 20k NOK (3150 USD says Google), so I had no choice but to leave that damage there. I stiched the fender up with zip ties to make it stay better together and not hang down: Here it also has the rims I got with the other Laurel, only I painted them black. Here is the other with them in their original color: So I used the car like this until the end of the next winter when I drove through a parking lot and a woman backed into me. Her trailer hook (Is it called that?) got stuck inside my rear right wheel arch and tore it out so much that there was an opening from the wheel arch into the trunk of the car. There was no argument of who's fault it was, hers, and the insurance companies didn't argue either about it, but the damage would have cost 35K NOK (5500 USD says Google) to fix, and they felt it was too much for such an old car which was bought for 21K NOK. I got a bit less than that back from her insurance company and was again looking for a car. I still used the Laurel for a while until the snow was gone, then both it and the black one had to go as my land lord didn't want me having more than one car from now on, so I stripped them of parts that could come in handy later on as I want a Laurel again later, so here they are ready for pickup to be crushed into a flat piece of metal. It was a very sad day Both of these were my precious, the Beauty and the Beast. The car I got for the insurance money was a Volvo 740 with a turbo. When I got it home after a few hours drive home after I bought it, it worked for ONE day, then died. I got it to a cheap mechanic who used an age to fix it (fuel pump...), got it back home, it then poured oil out from underneath. I decided I had had enough and put it up for sale in case anyone wanted it (Volvo is kinda popular here). A guy picked it up, was going to take some parts, deliver it to get crushed and give put my name and account number on the form so I would get the money. He didn't, and I still haven't gotten my money, and I'm getting more and more upset about it. My sister then had a car she was getting rid of, a BMW 318i 1995, so I got that very cheap. It worked, had some minor cosmetic things and the AC didn't work (no belt for the compressor). But I don't really like BMW, I actually dislike them (except for the 6-series and up, the rest look weird, too high in the rear, except for the station wagons, they look ok). I couldn't gather the willpower to fix up a car I dislike and won't make any more when selling after I've fixed it than if I don't fix it. And I really needed money, so I sold that and I'm without a car. Won't be buying a car again until I get one I really want, either a Peugeot 505 (a nice French car that is actually rear wheel drive, which I must have), or a Laurel like the black one (not face lift like the white). The Peugeot 505: So if you thought you had a bad car history, I bet mine is worse. If not, I feel very sorry for you Also: Good luck to all on the giveaway Congratulations to Linus and the team for 1 million subscribers It's not luck, it's hard work.
