Should I use a PCI or PCI-e sound card?

Every USB-based audio device I've ever used had extremely dirty sound, where you could hear the pitch of the background noise change every time the hard drive was accessed, the CPU usage changed, a browser window opened or closed, etc. I've always avoided them for this reason, and I'm wary of...

DirectCU II VS WindForce II

After the Sandy Bridge chipset snafu, my Asus motherboard replacement was handled awesomely. And I waited around 10 months for it to start failing to do the recall/RMA, so it wasn't like they still had temporarily high staffing to handle the influx of RMAs. My only other Asus RMA was in the...

What does AMD have to fight the 780?

So, it would seem that I was right about the 770 price after all, and the quoted wasn't the only post doubting it. If AMD doesn't have a response until late Q4 or Q1, I think they really could be in trouble. They're going to have to cut prices, offer rebates, and bundle a heck of a lot more...

Desktop : Higher performance or higher efficiency ?

I've already done that overclock, and the free to play game Planetside 2 is still extremely CPU bound. There are tons of games out there, even free to play games, that could and would use all of the CPU if single-core speeds doubled. And I'm only going to get 10% with Haswell. Its...

What does AMD have to fight the 780?

AMD has ceded the high end for a long time now. The real damage is going to come when Nvidia releases the 770 at $399, the 760 Ti at $299, and on down the line with the 760 and 750, etc. When that happens, AMD will have nothing they can do to counter but drop the prices of their existing...

Desktop : Higher performance or higher efficiency ?

Planetside 2 is my game of choice, and its 100% CPU-bound on my 2600K. I have a lot of CPU-hogging features turned off, and its still CPU bound. There is definitely room for faster CPUs in gaming, anyone who says otherwise just isn't playing the right games. Therefore, the first option...

Best Buy sends Cease and Desist to Newegg over TV ad

I just saw this on Newegg's Facebook page. You guys think there's any merit? I say that Best Buy doth protest too much. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/notes/neweggcom/best-buy-cease-desist/10150330344693572 Update: Newegg posted their response to Best Buy...

Is this the Sata issue with my Asus P67?

The post delay is already set to 10 seconds, I remember changing it that high when doing the setup so I could see the status more easily. I don't see any benefit in shortening it, so I'm not going to change it to 8 seconds. I always have the fullscreen logo disabled, again because I want to...

Well so much for that. The drives are gone again today after my first reboot since yesterday.

Is this the Sata issue with my Asus P67?

Just as a small update, I got the idea to swap which Sata cable my two optical drives were plugged in to with each other. When I powered the computer back up, they both showed back up with a drive letter and working properly. It'll be interesting to see if they go away again. And for the...

Is this the Sata issue with my Asus P67?

Your post seems to answer my question about whether I can use my optical drives with the external sata ports, and the answer is no. Which makes it strange that you'd ask if I tried to use it with other ports, because your post shows that it wouldn't work. So I think you didn't actually read my...

Yeah in theory. I'm wondering if what I'm experiencing is THE sata issue or if its something else.
