Anyone got recommendations on a palm size HTPC keyboard? Needs to have a touch pad and most importantly a good wireless range. I've got a couple of the rectangular Rii ones. Their form factor is nice but their wireless range is horrible and the non-removable battery sucks. Also got the weird...
I'm wanting a solution to stream TV from my Dish Network receiver to my laptop and Android phone/tablet remotely. A couple options I see is a $99 Vulkano Flow box or installing Orb on a PC with a capture card. If all I care about is streaming live TV, which is the better solution?
Both are...
Is it possible to make Tomato forward ports to different internal IP's by incoming hostname? For example, if a request for "host1.no-ip.org" comes in on port 22 from the WAN interface it would forward to IP 192.168.1.200 on the LAN while a request for "host2.no-ip.org" coming in on port 22 from...
I'm having trouble finding the genuine Microsoft receiver that allows you to use Xbox 360 controllers on the PC. I'm talking about the following:

I have the following Sapphire Dual-X 7950 card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814202006
It is in the same machine as a XFX 7950. Both are bitcoin mining. My issue is the Sapphire card ramps up to 1.25v when under load, no matter what voltage setting I put in Afterburner or Trixx...
I have put together a PC with a 3570k with two 7970's and a 2560x1440 monitor. I've been out of gaming for a while. Anyone have some recommendations on good first person shooters that can show off the power of this setup while also having good game play?
I am mainly interested in single...
If I have two 7950's connected with the crossfire bridge, can I connect one monitor to each card and extended the desktop across monitors? Some people have said yes and some no. Anyone tried it? Seems like it would work to me, but I didn't know if the crossfire bridge connected, even in 2d...
I've been trying to decide today what new video card to go with my two Korean 27" 2560x1440 monitors coming this week. I am a bit confused about the whole dual-link DVI issue though, especially as it relates to AMD cards with only one DVI port and multiple display ports. Will the following 7970...
After rebates, selling included games, etc one can get a 7950 CF setup (mismatched cards) for ~$560 at Newegg. A 670 SLI setup is ~$660. Question, is the 670 setup worth $100 more over the 7950 setup at 1440p resolution?
While I have never had issues with AMD's drivers in a single card setup...
What is the best GPU nowadays for 720p gaming in the $75 - $100 range? Used is fine. I was guessing a GTX 460 1GB off ebay for around $80. The video card will be paired with an old Phenom II x4 cpu. Overclocked to around 3.4ghz or so.
Purpose of this is I want to play VRC Pro...
I just put together a i5-3570k system today with the Asrock z77 Extreme4 MB. I am running Aida64 stress test. CPU oc'ed to 4.4ghz at 1.25v fixed Vcore. Max temps on each core are around 70c. One thing I noticed though is the temps on each core seem to jump from ~60c to ~70c and anywhere in...
Anyone every had Afterburner cause issues with a 7950/7970 card and dual monitors? After installing Afterburner I get lockups in Win 7 and the "display driver has stopped responding" message. Here's the situation:
1. I did a clean install of Win 7 with a 7950 card and the latest AMD drivers...
I picked up the $300 7950 from Newegg yesterday. Planning on replacing my 480x2 SLI setup with it. Less power and heat will be nice. Question is, how much of a downgrade will this be in terms of raw performance? If the 7950 is oc'ed to around 1100 mhz will I be in the same ball park as the stock...
Currently I run a computer at home 24x7 so I can access a couple virtual machines running on the computer from work. The computer idles 99% of the time. Using a kill-a-watt meter I figured out it cost me ~$13 per month in electricity to run the computer 24x7. Are there any free or cheap cloud...
Can anyone recommend the best software to turn a Win 7 x64 PC into a wireless router? My trusty Linksys WRT54G with dd-wrt is on it's last leg. My HTPC runs 24x7 so I was thinking just turn it into a WIFI router/AP instead of buying a new router. I have ordered the below USB adapter, which has...
Anyone know how to change the default folder that is selected when opening Windows Explorer. Specifically I am running Vista.
All Google searches say to add command line switches to the explorer command, such as "explorer.exe /n, /e, C:\". That works fine if you run explorer through a...
I picked up one of those AMD BE-2400 processors from Newegg. It's going on a Ultra Microfly HTPC type case. Can someone recommend a cheap, low profile cooler, in the $20 range, that will allow somewhat decent overclocking?
I can get the stock AMD 4 heat pipe cooler that comes with the...
Does your BIOS setting or CPU-Z display the correct core voltage of your processor? In the BIOS I have V-core set to 1.39375v. In CPU-Z it shows as 1.360v. Which is correct?
Thanks.
I've got a two year old socket 939/nforce4 system with an Athlon64 Venice chip running at 2480mhz. I recently upgraded the video card to an x1950xt card. I know the upgrade path on the 939 socket is limited. Is there a better 939 chip that would make an appreciable difference in games at...
At what point/temperature should the fan on the x1950xt kick into "airplane takeoff" mode? I was running the the HL2 stress test over and over and the GPU temp would get up to around 82 degrees (C) but the fan speed never changed that I could tell. My guess is it is running around 50% or so of...
When I bumped my Venice 3000+ up 80mhz (2.40ghz to 2.48ghz) I didn't see any improvement in the Counter-Strike: Source Video Stress Test benchmark. Both speeds produced a score of ~90fps. Is this normal? I was assuming I would see a few more FPS with the 80mhz bump.
