Hi. Could someone who has experience looking at SMART outputs tell me if these drives are worth removing from the file server? Thanks ahead!

I have done the mod to my Asus monitor to have the new Gsync board. But when I go click on Enable Stereoscopic 3D in the nVidia Control Panel, it says "GSync will be disabled. Do you still want to enable Stereoscopic 3D?". That's strange to me because nVidia's website and manual show that 3D...

Hi guys. Coming to you for advice on another build. This time, I want to plan out parts to pick up for a mid-range/entry level gaming rig. I'm thinking a hybrid SSD/HDD will be good for speed/storage space for games. Don't think an optical drive is needed. 1) What will you be doing with this...

Sixth build request in several years. The last one you guys helped me with has been an amazing system ( http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1738443 ). 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I need something that is silent, will run linux or freebsd...

It's been so long since I've been in the loop of things with regards to tech. Eight months ago, I made a build with two 680s in SLI. A month ago, I bought a 3D emitter for nVision. When I was using it, I noticed in Skyrim that when I would exit the game, the game wouldn't exit 3D mode when I...

Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II 2.0 There is a blue light around the volume knob. Sometimes, after having the speakers on, the power light goes off and it seems it takes a few seconds once I use sound to get sound back to the speakers. When this happens, the blue light eventually returns...

All sold out

I just put together a new rig. Last night, I tried out Rage and it started off great and fast. I then left the game running and went away from the machine for about an hour. I came back and started playing again. When I restarted the game from in menu, I started playing the game and noticed...

Hi guys. I just bought a new rig. I ordered a Logitech G500 with it. But it's going back. When I click on the LMB (left mouse button), near the center of the mouse, if my palm is too much towards the bottom, the mouse makes a really hollow sound. It's an annoying sound and the click is different...

I recently purchased the parts for a new rig. i7-3770K, 32GB RAM, 2x680 superclocked, 2xRAID-0 SSD sets. I'm hoping the system be smokin'! Problem is, I haven't bought a monitor. At first, I was going to go with the BenQ XL2420TX, but then kept seeing NCX's reviews and all the bad reports of...

Thinking about rebuilding a game PC to connect to the 3D TV via HDMI. Was going to build around the Geforce GTX 660 Ti 3GB OC card. What Intel chip will serve me best for gaming alone? Resolution won't pass 1080. I'd like it to be as low heat as possible but I want best bang for buck...

4 cores @ 4 GHz each - Dark Breeze - The name I gave the computer I've owned for the last year or so. I completely disassembled it, to clean and reassemble neatly for sale. I'm proud of her. She's fast and quiet and super cool in temperatures. Sitting right here next to me, she idles at 31-38C...

Is it possible to stream 3D blu-rays from the PC to the 3D TVs in the house? If so, how, please?!

What do you guys use to find duplicates across your file collection? Any suggestions for also finding images that are similar in content to each other?

Windows Task Manager shows CPU time per application for the current moment of time. I'd like a tool that can benchmark this and save off stats. For example, I press "Go" and the program monitors CPU time per application like Windows Task Manager does. When I press "Stop" it'll show me the...

I want to assemble a high multi-core environment to learn on. I will be running Linux on it and programming with C++ for the most part. I want to ask the readers of this forum to provide feedback on my General Hardware thread regarding the purchase I'll be making. The link is here...

Parallel programming. Multi-threaded programming. The more cores I can get on a machine, the better. Unsure if hyper-threading is transparent to a programmer. Could be useful. Server systems with two CPU sockets are okay. Plan to have the system on only for compiling and running high-threaded...

OK, I didn't get a chance to play the game this weekend, but it's at home, installed, and ready to go. I don't want to spend hours testing changes and benchmarking for ideal FPS. I just want to get the game running smooth and at Ultra. My specs are: Sandy Bridge i5-2500K @ 4.0GHz 8GB RAM...

I purchased a dual core, 2GB, low power system for running a Linux Distro. It needs to be a distro which I can learn Bash Shell, BSD Sockets, Posix Pthreads, and Vim. I don't want it to run a graphical desktop environment. I just want to be able to SSH into it through my Windows machine...

Hi guys. My boss put together some parts for a PC. But we all saw he opted for a really underpowered 380W PSU. Here are the core components for his rig. He'll be gaming. He's bought these parts and we just need a good PSU recommend for him that'll match the budget spent so far on everything...

I'm looking for a modern, Windows 7-compatible IDE for Python development? Also one for PHP development? Looking more for suggestions from personal experiences than just regurgitations from Google searches, thanks.

I used to own ACDSee back around 2006. It's editor had this neat feature where you could assign a preset crop size ( X by Y dimensions ). Then you'd flip through your pictures of larger dimensions and use the preset crop size to stamp out a predefined crop-sized photo. It was intuitive, easy...
