I just recently got one of those cards. The noise isn't bad. The majority of the time it's pretty quiet and under heavy load its noticeable. I overclocked it like 5% once and it immediately went from noticeable but not really annoying to pretty loud. So its a loud card that's tuned to be pretty quie...
What I ended up buying. For those that care.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'm going to wait until Friday when the cpu is actually available to click buy. As for the RAM honestly I'll probably find something ~DDR4-2800 that's from a reasonable brand has a reasonable price and most importantly a heat spreader I like (Is it really so wrong to ...
It's really hard to tell how big cases are. The fractal define mini did seem larger than necessary but it's hard to sort and find smaller cases. The node 4 you mentioned only takes mini-ITX though if I could fit everything in there that would be pretty nice. Thanks for the heatsink tip. Nothing woul...
Finally going to build a new computer. I'll be keeping my ssd and two hdds from my current computer as well as mouse, keyboard, and 27" questionable 1440p korean monitor. I wanted to post my planned build here to see if anyone had any opinions about my component choices. I decided to go micro-a...
I don't know. It looks like a pretty huuuuge improvement to me, says the guy with his 8+ year old E6420. I think I'm looking at a roughly 400% improvement?
Thanks for all the replies guys. I didn't notice anyone had replied. Disappointing to hear that no one else really makes mice like that. As someone commented it's the lack of friction that I like. I'll probably find one I really like eventually. For now I'll just stick to be being begrudgingly satis...
I've been looking around for a new mouse for work and although I'm not sure what exactly I want I do know that I've fallen in love with my Logitech mouse's "hyper scroll" wheel. For those unfamiliar the mouse wheel doesn't click and gives very little resistance making scrolling quickly ver...
Can anyone post their experience with mircast? Does it work pretty seamlessly from windows? Is the performance (image quality) good? As nice as it is use a built in app ultimately there always seems to be a reason to use screen mirroring (I'm looking at you hulu free tier). Ultimately I like that th...
I wonder if the power button on the monitor is flaky and essentially randomly triggering. Do you use the power button? Try just lightly tapping the monitor near the power button and see if it triggers the problem. If you've never touched it I wouldn't be suspicious of it but if you are regular power...
Thanks for all the replies! It looks like I am going to have to contact the collections agency at some point. I didn't even realize it at first because it seemed ridiculous but the charge is not for my "current" comcast account but rather for one I held from 2007-2009. I'm assuming this be...
Hi Everyone! Just asking for a bit of advice to perhaps save me some time and effort. This situation seems somewhat apropo considering the recent web freakout about Comcast. I thought it would be good to check out my credit report because I haven't done it in two years and I've moved and had a lot o...
So it turns out they're sending me a super clocked GTX 460 1024 mb. Looking up some reviews it would appear to be about 4 time faster than the old card. Should help me continue to pretend my computer can handle my 1440p korean monitor. Overall pretty excited... Maybe it will quell the upgrade itch.
***Waves Arms*** Thread Resurrect Well the 8800 GTS 512MB EVGA kindly sent me all those years ago, as a replacement for my 8800 320 mb, up and died a week ago and I sent it in for an RMA. I got notice that my RMA was accepted and a new card is on its way. Anyone want to see if they can correctly gu...
Have you tried draining the battery (or removing it entirely for a bit) to force the tablet into the "off" state instead of the restart state which may let you boot into safe mode?
I guess this could go in the bargin basement area (deals forum) but since its relevant to this topic a bunch of logitech mice and things are on sale today. I picked up a mx performance in hopes it will play nice with my desk. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/120268/amazon---logitech-deals-c920-pro-we...
Glad to see I'm not the only one disappointed to see it go. I'm uncertain that even if you can install it whether it will continue to function. It has a pretty significant tie-in to Microsoft's web services so I'm not sure it will work without their support (which they say they are dropping). I like...
I knew this day was coming but its still hard now that its here. Microsoft is officially killing off windows live mesh and replacing it with Sky Drive. Sky Drive is great and all (maybe... I don't know or care actually) but along with this shift they are taking away the one feature of mesh that I lo...
I got this to work in Chrome. It wasn't obvious but in the address bar on the right side was a little icon that if clicked asks if you want to display insecure content. If you allow insecure content then the page magically starts working!
Do any of your surrounding neighbors have the same problem? If so , maybe it's time to get the management company involved. I haven't spoken to them but I don't think anyone has ever said anything... plus if someone brought these things in it was probably me so I'm not about to start pointing finge...
Thanks for the replies guys. Carpet beetles seem to make sense which it turns out is okay. As much as I would love to burn the thing to the ground I live on the 7th floor of an apartment and hauling a new sofa up would be a pain (and hauling one down to set fire to it...) . The good thing is that it...
Hi Everyone! I've seen a number of bug ID posts before and I'm always impressed with everyone's knowledge of bugs. I seem to have something living in my sofa that I've tried to google but everyone's infatuation with bed bugs is making an ID hard. They appear mostly harmless at least to people. I thi...
Hi Everyone. I've been thinking about picking up an SSD but I know for sure that I'm way too lazy too move things around and manage dealing with a smaller amount of space. Or even making a boot drive and then putting everything else on another hdd. I've been looking at the reviews for intel SRT and ...
Thanks for the replies everyone. Teamviewer looks great! Exactly what I was looking for. It also has built in file transfer which will be handy. My grandfather doesn't know it but he appreciates your help. If given the opportunity he would also start asking each of you about where you are from and w...
Hi Everyone! I have a problem that could use an elegant solution. The short story is my grandfather was given a nicely setup dell computer over Christmas. Unfortunately a day after my family and I left it completely died. He has been given a new one and someone has done some basic setup. I was hopin...
