Question for the pros out there, regarding the ones that use the 4mm bits. So starting and finishing manually seems like a requirement for these devices, which im fine with as its a natural action that doesnt take much effort. But if youre undoing a screw thats too tight, or if you want to...

Do high-power GPUs generally consume more power during non-gaming situations, versus say an APU or 1650 (no ext power)? Realistically I'll only game about 5% of the time the computer is on, so I want to know what kind of wattage they are pulling while not being stressed. For the top cards...

Been considering getting an Intel gigabit card. Are there any differences in game latency, ping stability, or power draw versus an onboard Realtek?

My new Acer monitor (B7 24") has very limited OSD sharpness settings. It just has off and on, and nothing else. I need more levels to choose from, like something in the middle. Radeon settings don't help. Are there any 3rd-party apps, callibration software, or driver editing techniques that...

did a clean install on an ssd with win7 ult the other day. after updates and common programs i was expecting 17gb or so used space, but this time it was twice as much at 34gb. no large programs or files on my main drive. system restore is off. what am i missing?

i did a clean install on ssd couple days ago. sys restore is disabled, i havent installed any major programs or put any large files on main drive, but for some reason it's reading 34.4gb used space? i expected it to be at 17gb or so, as i got when i formatted before with similar set-up. what...

for those who own one of these, are all the extra power features a hindrance to stability? i dont like the idea of too much software manipulating the core power schemes. the ferret choke seems great, but can stuff like the aps and green functions be turned off?

do the 1155 chipsets that support onboard video have any problems these days? when you are using it can you feel the strain on system resources? and if not, can they be disabled in the bios without them interfering with anything? this is my biggest concern as i havent messed with a board with...

just a quick question about this drive. whenever i access it after coming from idle, it makes a very unique, and very loud access sound, followed by a whole seven seconds of spin-up time before the drive is accessible. is this longer wait normal for green drives? i get nervous when it does...

im getting a pair of seagate green drives soon for storage and backups, either the 1.5tb or the 2tb, and im wondering if there are any differences between the two except for size. both are 3 platter 500gb and 667gb. looking on newegg, the 2tb has lots of mixed reviews regarding reliability...

not working correctly, that is. before when i was on 32-bit it was fine. now when i check or uncheck the ct activation box it doesnt change anything in browsers. (my desktop text does change though). advice?

looking to buy 2 x 2tb drives for simple data storage, but cant decide between wd20ears or st2000dl003. both seem to be 3 platters. the seagate has some kind of native software for advanced format, while the wd needs seperate software. advice? does anyone own both of these for comparison?

installed 64 bit recently and overall volume has dropped 80-90%. in windows 32 i usually set volumes to 20-40%. now system volume is already at 100% and so is the control on application volume, but i can just barely hear anything. it's as if there is a 3rd control that is set too low, but...

cant seem to find any such monitor. tn is fine.

Please list here or pm me what you have. Thanks. My heat: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=75176

cant decide between these two for data storage. the seagate has native software (or something) for advanced format while the wd needs separate software. but wd is usually more reliable for me. what do ya'll think?

Hello guys, this is my first post here and im looking for a good 23" ips monitor for under $300. after research, ive narrowed it down to these. what do you guys think. dell u2311h: this seems popular, but ive recently learned that although being ips, it uses a 6-bit panel + a technical...
