Question Upgrade from HD to SSD Question

Hi Folks, I have a very full 2tb MBR HD I use as my main drive. Instead of trying to figure out how to convert it to GPT I thought I would just buy a 1tb SSD and use that for OS and programs, and store everything else on a data HD. Any advice on how to do that would sure be appreciated. I've...

Question First Upgrade in 6 Years - Lost

Hi Folks, Six years ago I built an i5-2500 system with ASUS P8Z68-V LX Mobo, and it has suited me very well. A while back it started to throw errors on one of the SATA ports so I swapped for an open one, which itself is now starting to throw errors. I've decided it is time to upgrade again...

sequestration, bipartisan support

Remember, for a piece of legislation to reach the President's desk generally it must be passed by both the House and the Senate. Normally one house will pass something and the other will take it up and pass it, often with amendment, or pass its own version. If the two bills differ the two...

i5-2500k - CPU or 3850?

Hi Folks, I recently completed an i5-2500k build with ASUS P8Z68-V LX and 16g ram. I am very happy with it but am wondering if I should use the Sapphire 3850: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102794 from my old build or just use the onboard GPU? Main uses are office work and...

Weird CPU Temp Readings

Hi Folks, I just upgraded to a i5-2500k, Asus P8z68V-LX, 16g of Corsair Vengeance 1600 - it is a great machine and light years ahead of the AMD 3000 rig it replaced. I was fiddling around with it and decided to see what setting the Win7 performance settings to Max Performance would do. About...

Europe Is Baffled by the U.S. Supreme Court

Good experience with Corsair RMA

I just sent a set of Corsair Vengeance off to Corsair yesterday as well. I did notice you could avoid a bit of hassle if you just click that they fail under Memtest. I took mine out and filled in the serial and lot numbers on the RMA form and it was approved immediately. Printed out the mail...
