    Where in LA do you go to get your balls waxed?

    I have lived here for 30 years and never figured out where to get a male brazilian. The only times I have gotten it done is with girls I was dating at the time. And for those jumping to say do it yourself, dude its nearly impossible to inflict that sort of thing on yourself. Any help...

    Is 7870 the real no brainer for a 460 1Gb upgrade

    I have been tossing around getting a 7950 or 7870 for the last couple weeks and cant quite decide. My concerns are just to get some more frames without increasing my power envelope. My $200-250 budget will exclude the GTX 660 which IMO is a broken card... (Retailers: Microcenter, Fry's...

    core count = future proof?

    When will my 1055T be an outdated processor? I got this chip because the board running my E8400 went to hell and I found a nice combo at Fry's for $200. A 6 core CPU seemed the way to go as at the time it appeared that apps were looking to get more effectively written to take advantage of...

    Romney announce VP Running Mate

    The initials of his running mate are NWS. That's right every one Presidential hopeful and reigning front man for the 1%'ers has chosen the media giant corporation Newscorp as his running mate! Since this is a non-serious thread with only fictitious information, I'm locking it. The real...

    MSI 890GXm board + Piledriver CPU?

    The board has an AM3 socket that has BIOS support for current FX CPUs... which we all know are not worth upgrading to from a OC'd X6 1055T. If Piledrive drops some good performance numbers, would that board be able to run it well? Or would you miss out on some turbo and power switching...

    Anyone using z68 SSD caching?

    I just built a system with a Gigabyte and saw the SSD slot on the z68 mobo. Couldn't really find any reviews which compared a systems performance on a SSD cache setup vs a stand alone SATA 6 SSD. Have you guys setup the SSD cache on your Z68 or just used a real SSD? Thanks, interested...

    Anyone here have experience with the new generation of gpus from Nvidia and AMD playing World of Tanks? I can't seem to find a review that includes this title... and since it is the primary game I play right now, I am interested to hear your experience. I have a MSI 460 1Gb cyclone that is...

    Thuban Turbo while gaming...

    So I have been happily using my <$150 1055t for my main PC pretty much since the CPU0 was released a couple years back at a happy overclock of 240Mhz FSB (3.4Ghz) and all has been good. The one hing I can't figure out is, why when playing a single threaded game does my CPU run at all 6 at...

    Good "budget" 1155 Mobo?

    Getting a i5 2400 next week and was confused by all the H61 P67 Z68 going on with intel board these days. I am going to use this board for gaming, no dual GPU, want USB 3, and a little bit of OCing. Prefer MSI, Gigabyte, and ASUS for obvious reasons and would like to spend ~$100 for the...

    Stock Volt Overclock Question...

    I have been overclocking for a long time but couldn't answer this question with any confidence... If you are overclocking at stock voltages will that increase CPU temps and power consumption? I am thinking no, but wasn't sure since in P=IV we are only keeping V constant. Thanks, -c

    Need ideas for secure data storage...

    I work in a biology lab and we have ended up doing behavior experiments that result in massive amounts of video files. We had a 1.5Tb drive that our data was all backed up on but it is getting filled up quickly. I am looking to build a solution that consist of probably 2x3Tb drives (to...

    Can traffic fines be logically unjust?

    Here's what I am thinking... please let me know if this makes sense to you or if I have broken logic. Speeding is a victimless crime. Getting caught speeding results in a fine/punishment. Speeding weakly correlates with increased probability of an harmful collision (victim part). When you...

    How long are we stuck with DDR3?

    Seems like there should be another memory standard coming down the pipeline... but I haven't heard about anything yet. Is desktop DDR5 coming or RAMBUS2, nanotube DIMMS? What memory are the next gen platforms going to be running?

    Looking to get Lasik...where do I start?

    I have a 1055T that I have with my FSB set to 242mhz at stock "auto" voltage netting ~3.4Ghz under normal conditions and ~4.0Ghz with turbo enabled. Are there any drawbacks to boosting the hypertransport speed to 2.4Ghz and leaving the HT multiplier at 10x? I can't seem to find a reason...
