Anyone else with a Tmo Note 3 have big battery life regression following the 4.4.2 update? Seems to be an issue for a lot of folks. Apparently some of the apps constantly access the camera (!??!), keeping the device awake and needlessly using the CPU.
With light usage, I actually hit the 3...
Friends,
Like many others, I jumped on the cheap 1440p bandwagon over a year ago, taking a risk on the Auria EQ276W 27" IPS @ Microcenter. A major problem with these monitors is the low-quality power bricks which come with the unit. Many of them go out while the monitor is still under...
A bit OT, but my god, that Coconut Audio site is hilarious. One of the more ambitious audiophile trolling efforts I've every seen. I wonder if people actually try to order their "products". Well played, Mr. Coconut.
I had similar issues with a GTX 660 in my relatively new build running win 8. I had been using the IVB graphics, but upgraded the card once I got a 27" Microcenter IPS panel. Long story short, after card installation and connection via HDMI or DVI, I got that black screen w/ movable mouse...
5 year warranty! Would definitely have jumped on this had I not just purchased an Intel 330 180GB for the same price (no rebate) about a month ago. Gotta watch some of the new Plextors as they only have 3 year warranties.
B&H better tread carefully here. After the Intel 330 fiasco, let's hope they deliver on these Samsung drives. The Intel thing was my first experience with the company and despite what others have said about their reliability, I'm beginning to question their legitimacy. Shipping SSDs seem to be...
Sad news, just got the email confirming that the posting was in error, and our orders have been cancelled. Seems they jumped the gun on posting the new Intel drives to the website and can't get them shipped soon enough to honor the orders. Oh well, back to scouring the forums for hot deals on...
My HTPC is a bit too noisy. Here's the current rig:
Phenom II X2 560BE (unlocked to X3), stock speed
Stock heat sink (yeah, this is a concern)
1TB Spinpoint F3
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500 Watt modular power supply
Silverstone LC10B-E w/ two stock 80mm case fans
I've already purchased an SSD as the...
What a great price. In for one. My HTPC will be one step closer to silent. Plus it frees up my 1TB F3 for a storage drive in my upcoming IB rig. Wish I had stocked up on 1TB F3s when they were 50 bucks.
OP, what percentage of time do you watch movies & TV vs. listen to music? If you're a music person, I'd recommend spending whatever you were budgeting for speakers on the best 2 channel setup you can afford. After messing with HT stuff for over a decade, I find that the best sound is almost...
I for one am fascinated by the fact that their core-to-core ratio does not increase linearly. I think this accurately reflects their module strategy. :hmm:
Summer build FTW! Any kinks in IVB should be worked out and a full lineup of Kepler cards should be available. Also, cheaper SSDs. There is much to look forward to.
