    GTX460 "review"

    The only game I can think of off the top of my head that currently really needs some CPU horsepower is WoW, because of it's ancient engine. People are upgrading from 7800GTX to 5850s and seeing 2-5 fps increases because they are using 2.4ghz c2d and equivalents. But for most games with...

    GTX460 "review"

    It looks like the 768 w/o any OC will be roughly GTX 275/280 performance depending on the game, etc. The new architecture seems to scale really well with OC; so if your comfortable with OCing you may be able to squeeze some pretty good performance out of this thing for the price. I am...

    Power management and drive lifespan

    Most/many modern HDD use Ramp loading technology now, where the heads are unloaded onto a ramp off of the platters, because of this it is "more gentle" to the heads over the course of time, and increases the number of loads/unloads that the drive can perform. Basically, power saving modes...

    Recover data from bad drive

    Hello! I am the resident DR technician. Scott is a good guy; I can vouch for him, but I am not 100% sure what kind of price he will charge. I have to say that after putting it in the freezer the recovery cost will go up (and don't "omit" the details, because we know if it's been put in...

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (WotLK, where do you play, General BS and all that)

    My guess is that they will do something similar to WOTLK, where in order to fly in the "new" lands you will need some sort of special flying, that you wont be able to get until like level 84 or something; to make sure that people explore the new world. I could be wrong of course, but thats...

    How do you pronounce "data"?

    How is data ever singular? I would say data is always plural. you can technically have one "piece" of data, but that data is never one entity; data is made up of many things that come together to become data. How is "We were able to retrieve your "day-ta" different from, "We...

    Hard Drive 0'd by itself, possible?

    It wouldn't be able to 0 the drive THAT fast. SMART doesn't necessarily mean much. What software did you use? I can take a look at this one, it is intriguing me. You can PM me if you customer is serious about wanting the data.

    Hard drive: Do I really need 7 passes to securely wipe it?

    Indeed, but here is the "kicker" Writing 00s to a drive doesn't REALLY write 00s. The fact of the matter is that the data is interpreted by the read heads. The read heads detect magnetic flux changes on the surface. Basically a change in the polarity equals a 0, and no Change equals a...

    Hard drive: Do I really need 7 passes to securely wipe it?

    If you are not sure of the types of drives, and if any of them are exhibiting symptoms of physical failure, then you are risking everything. Just because you can see the C: drive does not mean much with a RAID, especially a RAID 5. I would highly recommend extra care if this is...

    I am liking the H50

    I consider it not too bad considering that setup will/should get you better temps then any thermalright, or megahalems, or even a DH14 setup, without the big, bulky heatsink. And at the same time you don't have to deal with setting up a full custom water cooling system, which would be the...

    I am liking the H50

    I understand what you mean now; I see people putting new rads and tubing on it, but using the original block/pump. To me that doesn't make sense, you may as well go full custom at that point. I feel like mods like I posted above are still justified if you are looking to watercool only...

    I am liking the H50

    Custom is still going to run you more money, AND you have to actually deal with flow and leak testing, etc. And you can get away with mods like I posted above without using KAZE fans, that is just what I decided to use because sound does not bother me too much. On a side not the KAZE 2Ks...

    hard drive fail? bad cable? wd fal 1gb black

    run HDDScan, and switch to "map view" it will give you a much clearer picture of what the surface looks like. You can also use MHDD, which you need to put on a boot disk because it runs in the DOS environment. Make sure that the drive is not your boot drive when you runs scans...

    I am liking the H50

    Indeed, that is why i mention you can trade out the fans to your tastes, just make sure you use something with enough oomph too push the air through that RAD. Indeed it also depends on your case if this design strategy will work, as you need to consider the length of the H50s cabling, and...

    WD10EALS Blown PCB

    This drive requires pro tools; the EEPROM (where adaptives are stored) is embedded in the CPU on these drives, which makes recovery VERY difficult. You need professional grade tools to be able to gain access to the firmware (The firmware is NOT stored on the PCB, but on the platters) once...

    GTX 465 review ... one more shoe from NV drops

    Need to see real world power consumption, temps, and OC to paint a more informed picture. I get the feeling that this card should be another 20-40 cheaper and that would make it's value.

    hard drive problem

    Results may not be telling the truth, if you are using those drives currently in the system they are probably accessing other content. The best way to use HDD scan is to make sure the drives are not going to be used by the system, so they are just sitting idle.
