I was looking at SMART counts on my drives and one of them really stands out. It's a 2G WD Green WD20EARX which seems to be running fine but a couple of the counters all real high:
Start/Stop Count - 15175
Load/Unload Cycle Count - 352787
This appears to be the result of aggressive head...
Email from Newegg today. I got a 960 some months back when the EVGA SSC 4G version with back plate was $159. Today I got this. This can't be part of the 970 3.5G issue? Anyone know what this is about?
Interesting that 750ti/950/960 are on the list but 750/740/730/720/710 are not. This implies I guess that Maxwell and Kepler are still currently manufactured architectures at the desktop low end, or they have bunch of chips left to sell? The performance gap between the 1060 and the 750 is...
The unavailability of the RX-480 and GTX-1060 is starting to tick me off. With a $230 option for a GTX-970 and a $290 option for a GTX-980 on the EVGA site at the moment, is it really worth waiting for these newer cards to be available? I am gaming on a reference Zotac GTX-760 2G card at...
I already had the H60, but it sounds pretty comparable to the D14/D15/212 EVO level air coolers, so I can't see spending money for a side grade. An AIO using a thicker 120mm rad appears to be the only option if I don't do something custom and modify the case. I get high 50s loading all 12...
I recently upgraded to a 5820k, I am using my existing case an Antec 302, and I have an H60 with two fans in a push pull exhaust configuration. I am investigating upgrading my cooling, the H60 is OK at stock (temps ~60C loaded), but it is not going to support much in the way of overclocks...
I am very interested in this game, but the idea of having to play on LOW is disturbing. I have a 1G 7850 and my monitor resolution is 1680x1050, has anyone played this with something similar?
Microcenter has these for $249. Anyone have any experience with one? Is it crap?
My wife has been hauling around a Dell Netbook and now wants something with a bigger screen and faster. Just basic computing and 3 - 4 hours hours of battery life should be fine. She does travel some though so...
This old monitor gets dimmer every day, or I do...its a 1680x1050 LCD. Other than it seemingly getting darker it works fine. I have not been successful finding instructions to replace the back lights, maybe I'll just open it up and see what's what. Has anyone had one of these apart and...
Shortly after posting this the DSL modem I had died and was replaced free by CenturyLink by one with an integrated wireless router. As a result I am no longer using the Rosewill wireless router. Wireless connectivity has improved significantly with the printer. If it has been idle for a long...
It may not be Speedfan's fault of course, maybe my free motherboard (Biostar A780L3G) just doesn't take kindly to the PWN settings being manipulated on the fly.
I recently installed Speedfan on a Win 8.1 system and set it up to manage the fan, and the system kept shutting down unexpectedly, no warnings, nothing in the log, and temp monitoring did not show anything. I removed Speedfan and used BIOS settings to manage the fan and the system has not...
I tried 2 power supplies, the inexpensive CX430 the system has been using for over a year, and a much better new XFX PRO550W. I was suspicious just because HW monitor was reporting 3.118v on the 3.3v. But it shows 3.28 in BIOS so the issue is probably HW monitor. Both readings were the same...
