    MSI mobo owners help! Can't get 1600mhz memory working

    Well I figured out my own answer. This sucks! I guess I found the answer. This is crazy lame: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/ZH77A-G43.html#?div=Detail Main Memory • Memory speed support up to 1333MHz are provided on 2nd Gen Intel® Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3 /...

    MSI mobo owners help! Can't get 1600mhz memory working

    Guys, I've only ever built 1 MSI computer before, so please don't scream it this is OBVIOUS. I just built my SECOND MSI build using an ZH77A-G43. Now this mobo uses H77 and it cannot overclock, so I put an i5-2400 in it. According to intel website, it can only use 1333 memory, but according...

    Obamacare experts, help please - Can I have care for only 9 months and avoid the tax?

    Yeah I thought about becoming a christian scientist too.. but I haven't looked into that much, really. For anyone who thinks obamacare is legit, are you kidding? The supreme court called it a constitutional income tax. That is what it is, and all it is. Seems my original question is answered...

    Where to buy Plastic Bags?

    Any ultra liberal city has this. Austin, TX San Fran, CA Southern California beach communities In the end someone will die because their chicken with salmonella contaminated their bag, etc. This has happened before so its just a matter of time.

    Obamacare experts, help please - Can I have care for only 9 months and avoid the tax?

    Pretty much. Thanks for summarizing this so well! The healthcare.gov website doesn't seem to be clear on this. From what I read in my original link, it SEEMS that anyone not covered by March 31 will be assessed the tax. Thus, this is a sort of cut off date. So Jan thru march you can be...

    Obamacare experts, help please - Can I have care for only 9 months and avoid the tax?

    Gulf states setting up test to keep gays out

    Which is worse for society: A childless, taxpaying, high earning gay who cannot put down the cock? A welfare queen with 5 children, no earnings, no education who cannot put down the cock? I think we're focusing on the wrong group here....

    Obamacare experts, help please - Can I have care for only 9 months and avoid the tax?

    This topic isn't really political in nature, but figured to be safe, I'd put it here. For me, obama care will either: 1. Raise my taxes significantly 2. Raise my health insurance cost at least 300% I am a contractor and my company does not provide any health insurance plans. Thus I currently...

    Where to buy Plastic Bags?

    When i'm in another county I stop at a walmart or grocery store, use self checkout and get at least 50 bags with my purchase. It lasts me a while. Bag bans will end soon enough. Sadly, it may take the death of another person from using a reused, unsanitary bag though. This means we just have...

    Poll - How much CPU power do you really need?

    an i5-3570k is only $180 on sale and will last 5 years. I've had mine for a year now and it is still top dog. CPU power is irrelevant in the desktop market. Battlefield 3 played identically on my q9550 as it does on my 3570k (after a few patches, anyway). As for apps, less than 1% of anandtech...

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    No, they are clearly marked as on one of the patios. De humidifiers are handled by air conditioners

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    Good advice but my current apt is 750sq ft and I think I need at least this much space honestly. If this one calculates to less than that its going to be very tight. And again, I applied for it (free application luckily) sight unseen as they do not have one available to view. Not sure what...

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    Well what im saying is that its really more like this: Overall width: 320" (assuming the closet is 2' wide) Overall length: 338" (4' + 14'4" + 9'10" ) 320 x 338 = 108160 / 144 = 751 sq ft But this includes 51sq ft of patio, and does not include the width in the dining room...

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    No doubt your post was great. But when you calculated the width of the apartment, you have it as only 296". This is 11.33' for the bedroom plus 13.33' for the living room width. This does not account for the closet width in the calculation of the width of the apartment witch is probably about 2'...

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    Doesn't the closet add to the bedroom + living room width making it roughly 26.66' or 320" ?

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    Close. I get: 26.6666' wide (you forgot to add the closet, which I figured was about 2' x 24.16667' long = 644.43 sq ft Plus the small area of the bedroom (by the window) (im estimating now): 3' x 11.33' = 34 sq ft Plus edge area in dining room under the foyer (another generous estimate): 2'...

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    I thought about going per pixel too to calculate it too, good work. So without patios and without outside storage and hw room we are well under 800sq ft, basically?

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    I know how to calculate sq footage but this makes it cryptic. I applied for this apartment site unseen, but now i'm second guessing the square footage. If anyone can figure out how the INTERIOR space adds up to 820 let me know. Showing math would be helpful. I'm thinkin its more like 650ish and...

    Advice requested in choosing between DOCSIS 2.0 and 3.0 modem on TWC

    Since this thread got bumped I figured i'd chime in with my results: I bought a motorola sb6121 on black friday from radioshack for $75 after tax. I wanted an sb6141 but lack of manufacturer warranty from ebay/amazon scared me off. Here are the results: 1. On my 10/1 service on TWC I no longer...

    Dealing with local craigslist scammer selling counterfeit Windows & Office 2010

    I recently saw an ad on my local CL offering windows 7 professional (retail) for $80. Genuinely interested I emailed him and talked him down to $60 and met him in the parking lot of a local business. Upon inspecting the package I determined it to be counterfeit, told him he had better stop doing...

    How is the Enermax RMA process? *Mickey Mouse Operation?*

    Well a little update. As per my previous post I was to call enermax on friday (today) and I was offered either a "refurb" unit for free or the option to upgrade to a brand new 1020W version (of the same discontinued series) for $30. I took the brand new option for $30. The only downside is my...

    Max "Safe" voltage for an A10-5800k graphics/nb?

    RAM will not be upgraded. Again, please stay on topic. Even if I had 2133mhz ram, it wouldn't make any difference to the purpose of this thread: to find the max safe and stock voltages of the NB/iGFX. I hope you and others understand this now? THG only shows the 1.275v was what the overclocking...

    Max "Safe" voltage for an A10-5800k graphics/nb?

    How did you find the 1.275v for stock? My motherboard doens't show it and all the software out there doesn't read the a10 very well. As for being on topic, I am fully aware of raising ram speed helps speed but that is not the title or purpose of creating this thread. I asked about max safe...

    Max "Safe" voltage for an A10-5800k graphics/nb?

    Recently built one of these because I wanted to play around with it. So far i'm impressed. But it seems to achieve 1085mhz on the gpu (7660d) I have to push it all the way to 1.375v. Maybe slightly less but it crashed at 1.35v. I have a big zalman optima 120mm HDT heatsink on there so temps...

    How is the Enermax RMA process? *Mickey Mouse Operation?*

    Well a little update. I spoke with the RMA guy yesterday and after a lot of coaxing, finally was able to send it in. I was told that they don't have any more of these units and it would be over a month (possibly 2) to get it repaired because they are repaired in taiwan then shipped back. To...

    Thanks for your answers sir. I wish I could give reputation or something on anandtech. I did know that cable companies flash the modems or use a config file based on speed plan purchased. But people seemed to report otherwise. Does turn out its just the powerboosting. But hey, you never know...

    Advice requested in choosing between DOCSIS 2.0 and 3.0 modem on TWC

    Thanks for all your help. I'll try to find a deal on the one docsis 3.0 modem i can buy. Its $80 so pretty steep considering it would take almost 3 years to pay it off. But if d/l speeds and pings are better, i'll get on that. Thanks again everyone.
