    USB docking station experience/recommendations?

    I only have experience with the plugable UD-3900. Just install the DisplayLink drivers from the DisplayLink site and plug in the USB. I use dual video, USB, LAN, and audio out on the dock and haven't had any problems with it at all. You're basically adding a USB video card, so the monitors...

    Can a 850W supply support 2 Asus Radeon 290 cards?

    I'm running 2xR9 290 on a Corsair HX750 with a 4770k everything is under water. It is pushing ~740 at the wall while mining, but much less while gaming. Should I have a bigger PSU? Maybe? Does it work fine and stay within the rating of the PSU? Yes.

    XSPC Razor R9 290X

    Speedfan does work very well once configured properly. My Crossfire 290s and cpu are all in the same loop. Using Speedfan I am able to set the fan/pump speed profile based on the temperature of each component (gpu1, gpu2, cpu). Speedfan can than use the max speed out of the three. It would...

    Display Port issue with R9 290x QuadFire / TriFire / CrossFire (NEED SERIOUS HELP)

    Would it be possible that the motherboard is not supplying enough power to the dongle when running Crossfire? I know it is not likely, but it might not hurt to try. Have you tried powering the dongle with a powered hub or wall charger?

    Ceton infiniTV4: Opinions?

    It is a great card. I have had mine for about a year. I did have one major problem with it. Comcast upgraded some things on their side and the card was no longer able to receive the channel list. Ceton support was top notch. They worked directly with Comcast to resolve the issue and...

    Corsair Professional Series Gold CMPSU-750AX

    I've had my HX620 for four or five years now on pretty much 24/7. Not a single problem with the PSU. Many other components have changed through the years, but I haven't even considered replacing the PSU. I got mine before they shipped with 8 pin PCI-E connectors. I emailed Corsair when I...

    Looking to build a HTPC Sandy Bridge i5/7 asap

    If you want to overclock and use Intel you will need a k processor like the 2500K and a p67 board. How will you hook your computer to your amp? Analog or digital?

    What processor should I get if I want to crossfire a 5850?

    It depends on if you are willing to wait for BD. If building a new rig you really can't go wrong with the 2500K. The x8 x8 shouldn't be an issue or cause any noticeable performance problems. Z68 boards should be out in a couple weeks, so if those features interest you at all it might be worth...

    CableCard, Multi-Tuner PC Card and HTPC

    I installed a Ceton this past weekend. Other than the two techs (two separate visits) it took to get the cable card installed and activated I love it. Of course up until then I was recording any channel that wasn't clear QAM (locals) using Comcast DTAs into analog capture cards. The quality...

    Intel Core i3 2100+MSI H61M-P23 Motherboard BOTH $119.98 @MicroCenter Instore ONLY

    I went to the St. Louis Park store today. They were out of the H61 boards. They substituted the H67MA-E35. I had to pay more ($149.99 after $10 MIR), but that is the board I wanted anyways since it has more SATA ports and HDMI.

    Newegg called ME about my advanced RMA on my P67 board

    Newegg called me yesterday and my board has shipped. About the expiration of the UPS label I was told that if it expires just call them and they'll issue a new one.

    Is this the Sata issue with my Asus P67?

    I haven't had a single problem since. Not sure what to blame. I'll be getting a new board soon, so I'll worry about it if it happens after that.

    Is this the Sata issue with my Asus P67?

    I have an ASRock Extreme4. I also have 4 hard drives and 2 optical drives. The 2 optical drives are connected to the SATA3 ports (which don't have the bug). Four hard drives are raided on the SATA2 ports. I also had my optical drives disappear. I rebooted and they were still gone. I played...

    The web site showed in stock and $49.99 for the Apple Valley store. When I went to the store they were $24.99. Of course since this is a clearance YMMV.

    Socket 1155?

    I just built a machine for a friend using the ASRock P67 PRO3. Very happy with that board. I plan to buy the P67 Extreme4 for my build. A lot of board for the price. Only negative is the warranty if that concerns you.

    Socket 1155 cooler recommendation?

    Check your local Best Buy. You may be able to find the A50 or A70 on clearance for cheap. I installed an A50 on a 2500K for a friend. Mounting was relatively simple with the cooler set for 1156 installation. Running the fan at low RPMS the idle temp is 28 and load using Intel Burn Test...

    Post something your pet does that amazes you

    Our lab will ring the doorbell when she is in the back yard and wants to come in. Really confused the wife the first time it happened. The doorbell rang and there wasn't anybody at the front door.
