    My upgrade is available

    So, my upgrade is available with Verizon as of now. I've had the Galaxy Nexus 32GB since it's release day and I've loved every minute of it - with the unlocked bootloader, rooting, and customization possibilities. Is there a phone out at the moment that's actually worth going to as far as screen...

    SSD sleep question

    Hi all: After much google searching - I can't seem to find a definite answer. I have a Crucial M4 512GB SSD on firmware 0309. Would it be okay to let it sleep? I have run it 24/7 for over a year now. I've read a lot about people having issues with waking from sleep but is it still an issue...

    Crucial M4 SSD 512GB Benchmark results

    Hey guys, I just installed my Crucial M4 512GB SSD and have been running CrystalDiskMark 3.0. How do these results look? I've attached screen shots of tests run in IDE mode and AHCI mode. I've read that AHCI mode gives better results...and these CrystalDiskMark results do prove that (at...

    Random shutdown after replacing pump?

    About 2 months ago the water pump in my PC died so I just got around to ordering a new one. I ordered the same exact pump as I had - Swiftech MCP655-B. I also got some new tubing, as the tubes I had were foggy and such. I spent all day today installing my new pump and doing some much...

    Aesthetics or performance?

    I've read a lot of the posts on deciding between the X58's but I'm having a real hard time deciding if I want the X58 LE or the X58 Classified mainly due to the fact that I want to try to completely black out this build and the Classified edition has red all over it. The LE edition is all black...

    Water cooling additives? PT_Nuke/Pentosin G11

    Ok, so...in my loop I will have a copper CPU block, a nickel plated GPU block, and the copper inside my radiator. Those are the only metals I'll be mixing. When mixing metals I've read you will need a corrosion inhibitor. With that said, what would be the best additive to use with just...

    Vinegar in the radiator

    I flushed out my radiator with vinegar and boiling distilled water...but what I'm seeing now after a few flushes with just the distilled water are small bubbles that come out and slide all over the place. I'm guessing it's the vinegar trying not to mix with the distilled water. Similar to oil...

    PC shutsdown and then reboots after overclock

    I have my PC overclocked to 3.8Ghz on watercooling. The stock core speed is 3.0Ghz and since it's been overclocked, everytime I boot it up from a shutdown, it will start up for about 2-3 seconds and then it will shut itself down and then boot right back up and boot into windows and work just...

    E6850 temperatures way too high on water =(

    Ok, so....I'm at my wits end with this damn water cooling. I have an Intel E6850 that won't stop idling at ~42-47c despite EVERYTHING I've tried. I've already posted in the "Intel Processor" thread but it HAS to be a water cooling issue. Specs: CPU: Intel duo E6850 GPU: Nvidia 8800 GTX 768MB...

    Intel E6850 duo running hot on water?

    Well, I finally got my water cooling setup and running to get CPU core temps at 38-45c on idle, which, I guess may be a little normal, but then at the slightest bit of load, then temps jump a lot over about 55c on both cores. I'm about to run Call of Duty 4 to see the temps under at actual load...
