    Fun Surprise - Thunderbolt Displays work perfectly with Dell XPS 15s and an adapter

    I recently upgraded the laptops for my group at work. We had been provided with 13" MBPs (non-retina) and Thunderbolt displays. (I'm not going to get into how bad of a decision this was for our role, but it was bad. We have half a dozen Windows only tools we have to run daily. Running a constant...

    Rift owners - GeForce Experience needed?

    In the Oculus Rift hardware setup literally the first step says to install GeForce Experience. https://product-guides.oculus.com/en-us/documentation/rift/latest/concepts/rgsg-2-hw-hardware-setup/ Is it really necessary, or is it only to keep your drivers up to date? Do I lose anything by...

    Anyone familiar with tuning alerts on APC NMCs?

    One of our UPSes is going insane, TENS OF THOUSANDS of alerts over the weekend and yesterday, and I can't figure out why I can't make it stop. Within a minute I'll get dozens of alerts, hundreds an hour: UPS on battery in response to a distorted input UPS no longer on battery They come in so...

    Phillips SHP9500 $62.99 at the Egg

    Good price on some solid headphones. They have been favorably compared against much more expensive cans - IE the Sennheiser HD600s http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826138190 They used to regularly be around this price, but have been creeping up as they've become more well...

    "...[T]he ten nanometer test chips we're looking at now..." - Howard Marks, NVIDIA

    I don't know how many of you guys have seen this. I found it a pretty fascinating look into NVIDIA's testing and validation. The 10nm quote is at about 8:15.

    Let's talk data recovery

    So one of the techs I work with formatted a users external drive that he was supposed to be transferring data from an old laptop to. Simple mistake right: user brings in the old laptop and the external drive, tech plugs it into a Windows 7 machine, doesn't get a drive letter, tries another...

    Sandforce 1200 write amplification and free space

    Anyone out there have any experience with the Sandforce controllers? My Indilinx based Patriot Torqx died a few weeks back. (They had a bad batch go out that has been causing them a lot of grief.) As a replacement they shipped me a new Sandforce based Inferno. I've been doing a bit of reading...

    Quick NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller Review

    Synopsis - Great idea, just a touch off on the execution. For those of you that don't know, the Sentry 2 is a touch screen fan controller that can control five fans and monitor five temperatures with the included thermistors. Now since none of us really care about packaging, which is...

    Monitor driver problems after the 186.18 driver set

    I tried updating my drivers to the 190.62s a few days back and had an error with the monitor driver. I figured "that's annoying" and went back to the the 186.18s. Last night my Windows 7 64bit RC install updated itself to the 190.38s (IIRC) and ran into the same problem. This evening I tried the...

    Windows 7 killed my HX620

    Last night I installed the Windows 7 RC. This morning I woke to silence. The circuit breaker my alarm clock and computer are on blew sometime during the night. I am now the proud owner of an attractive red and black 620 watt door stop. It kinda smells funny though. I'm in need of a replacement...

    Streamzap PC Remote useless in Vista x64

    I recently swung by Fry's, Disneyland for geeks, and returned home with a $30 piece of worthless plastic. I purchased a Streamzap PC Remote. The packaging clearly states: Apparently I put too much stock into that bit where it says "Any Edition." When I read the word "any," I think, well...

    Quick OS X question

    375mhz FSB wall

    I was in Fry's about a week ago and I was weak... I picked up a combo w/ an Abit FP-IN9 SLI and an e6420. I just cannot get the sucker past 375. Perfectly stable at stock voltages at 375, won't even post with the voltages cranked at 380. Anyone out there have one of these? Is there a compiled...

    Dell LOL

    I recently got a pretty smoking deal off of the Dell Outlet on a XPS M1210. We all know that Dell has an affinity for loading their systems down with bloat.

    Mobo power circuitry @ 118C!!!?

    The power circuitry has always been the hottest spot in my system, but today after doing some stability testing (prime95 x2 and rthdribl) I went back and checked the high/low logs from mbm5 and saw that it peaked at 118 degrees C. How much of a problem is this? This is in an open SB65G2...
