    Moving (semi) deactivated Google account to new Android tablet

    I just purchased a new Android tablet and am trying to copy over everything from my previous tab. Here's the issue I'm facing: the account I used when I set up my old tablet is a work account from which I lost access in mid January (retirement ftw). In spite of the superficial deactivation, the...

    Question Do I need to hook up all the connectors on my Asus Prime X570-P?

    I'm running a 3900X in an Asus Tuf Gaming with only the eight pin attached. It's overclocked to 4.25 on the first ccd and 4.4 on the second. The limiting factor on my overclock is my cooling as I tried 4.5 and 4.45 on the good ccd and the voltage required to get there wasn't manageable with my...

    Intel Core i5 4670 vs i5 3470

    If you don't mind a little overclocking . . . the 3470 can be overclocked while the 4670 cannot. It's not a huge overclock, mind you (you can bump the stock from 3.2 to 3.6 and it will turbo to 4.0 on one core, 3.8 on all four), but it's enough that it should be roughly equal to the 4670. It's...

    msi cube

    Fry's isn't what it used to be, sadly, but they still run some pretty good deals. I'm nowhere near a Microcenter so I know the pain. Everything I've read about the various Brix units has scared me off of them. I nearly bought one over the summer but the reviews (noise and heat) convinced me to...

    msi cube

    If you're really interested in that model, and you have a Fry's nearby, sign up for their coupons and check out them out every day. That exact model of the Cubi has been on sale (after rebate) for $170 twice and, a week or so ago, $180. I've damn near bought one each of the times it's gone on...

    Fry's: 5820K $277, MSI X99A Raider $150 AR

    When I was on the fence back in August over Skylake or Haswell-E Fry's made it a lot easier: they had the MSI X99S Krait for $109 one week and the 5820K for $288 the next. This motherboard is probably not quite as nice as the Krait, but it does have USB 3.1 if anyone cares. You have to receive...

    Will changing the thermal paste help with the GPU chip failure? Also, "GPU Reflow".

    I recently replaced the mSATA drive in my Inspiron 15R, though I have a 7520 instead of the 5520. The youtube tear down video was the same for both laptops, if I recall correctly. The video was actually of a 5520 disassembly and mine was pretty much the same. They both have heatsinks that are...

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    My wife has stories of that kind of heat from her days in Arizona as an undergrad. I hate the heat, but I'd take higher temps and no humidity over what we have here. I figure that probably a slight voltage increase would be ok, but you're right: start pumping it up and efficiency suffers. I have...

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    I recently retired an old monitor because of that! You could feel the waves of heat coming off the back and front of that thing - it was ridiculous.

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    Haha!!! I've thought about doing just that, but my wife would KILL me. She would, and rightfully so, point out that the simple solution is to NOT BUILD A MACHINE THAT REQUIRES SUCH MEASURES!! Since I don't really need the power I was just trying to get a sense from people who already have such...

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    Yes. In the first place, I live in Texas. In the second place, the room has one vent for climate control. As I noted above, it's a small room. It can get out of control in here in a hurry. I kid you not, in the winter time that Q6600 kept this room nice and toasty and when spring and summer came...

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    Goofing off most of the time, but, like I said above, some audio manipulation, some transcoding, I run a VM or two for kicks, it'll mostly be idle, so it may not be that big of a deal. My current 4770K doesn't really create any issues for me and I'd like to keep it that way. As noted above, the...

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    I don't need it, I want it! Messing with computers is one of my hobbies, but I neither game nor rely on them for my livelihood in any way. I do some audio tinkering and a bit of transcoding and both of those would benefit from more cores up to a point. The fact is this has nothing to do with...

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    I ran the Q6600 in a P45 board for awhile, but when it was really kicking out the heat it was in an nForce 650i board.

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    If I wait for Skylake I'm not so concerned about cooling it - I can always just back off the overclock as I'm not a max overclocker anyhow. Well, except for this stupid 4770K which I refused to give up on and still only ended up at 4.3. So I have no doubt that the TDPs we're talking about for...

    Oh no, another Skylake or 5820K thread!

    Fry's had the 5820K for $288 the other day, so I bought one. The question is whether or not I should keep it. There's really only one issue that I'd like anyone who is using one can address: how much heat does this thing throw off with a moderate overclock? My office is small. Really small...

    Help me shoehorn an extra drive into a SFF box?

    Hmm, that's interesting. When I purchased it my plan was to just stuff an ssd in it and call it square, but the onboard SATA port is awfully temping. I guess I could just go ahead and take the HSF off and install an mSATA drive into the wireless card slot, but if the thing is just going to bake...

    Help me shoehorn an extra drive into a SFF box?

    A short while back newegg.com had the Zotac Zbox ID90 on sale so I grabbed one. It was inexpensive enough that I figured it'd be fun to just mess around with and then use as an HTPC. The main thing that intrigues me is sneaking another drive into it. It has an open space for one 2.5" drive, but...

    Broken WD My Book external hard drive control board. Options?

    I happen to agree, but the op doesn't seem to have any interest in learning to solder or finding someone else to do it. The only reason I'm suggesting a clamp is too keep the contacts from shifting once (if?) proper contact is made. Putting any real pressure on the pcb is a bad idea, but from...

    Broken WD My Book external hard drive control board. Options?

    Those clamps would probably work, but I wouldn't start with them. The main problem with c-clamps would be that as they tighten they'll introduce torque to the board / port. Plus you'd have to (a) cover both ends with something so as to not short out anything (which could make it harder to see...

    Broken WD My Book external hard drive control board. Options?

    Here's an idea that might work for your purposes . . . but then again it may not work at all. From your pictures I can't tell how the electrical connection is made between the mini usb port and the board, so I looked at a board I have sitting here on my desk which didn't help much. As near as I...

    POLL: Desktop SSDs, Pls Vote

    I have both setups: 3 desktops with only ssd drives in them (2 are HTPCs and the other is in my music room) and 6 other desktops with an ssd as a boot drive with HDD as well. My desktops with both types of drives are more powerful machines than the ones with just ssds, which makes comparing them...

    How badly did you get hosed on your first SSD?

    December 2009, OCZ Vertex $190 after rebate At the time, it was a good price, so I would say not hosed. The drive still works perfectly (as do all the rest of my OCZ SSDs - 1 Solid and 3 Agility 3s).

    Oh how I love me some Core2Duo...

    I don't know. I don't know that anyone would with certainty, but a quick survey of eBay about a month ago turned up fairly recent sales of LGA 775 motherboard models of which I own copies. A few things worth noting on that score are that those boards sold for MORE than I paid for mine and mine...

    Oh how I love me some Core2Duo...

    Fry's was my ruin back in the C2D era. Up to 2006 or so I had only ever built AMD machines. The reviews that poured out when C2D dropped fairly clearly told me to go Intel at that point, but I'd always approached pc building as an extremely low cost enterprise and the Intel cpus were too rich...

    Haswell i3 versus Ivy Bridge i3

    If you have a Fry's nearby, they have the i3 3240 on sale according to their Wednesday ad online (http://www.frys.com/ads/page10#AdNavi) for $88. Oddly enough, it doesn't show at that price on their website and it doesn't adjust even if you choose in-store pickup, but since it's in their ad I'd...

    Motherboard dead, help me find replacement

    I had an MSI G41 board sitting around in the office for a while that I've still yet to use, so I eventually put it out on a stack in the garage (it was $10 so I have it as a backup / tester if it never is part of a build). It's a really minimal board, so there wasn't much for MSI to tout on the...

    I'm pretty sure the warranty on that mobo is three years. Why not email / chat with MSI and see what they have to say about it before you buy a new board?

    The Reality of Haswell Overclocking - Results Poll

    I've overclocked everything I've ever owned that could be overclocked, at the very least to see what it could do. I've always settled, though, on a modest overclock that kept the voltage close to stock since my office is small and it gets hot very easily (I'm looking at you Q6600 - only quad I...

    Haswell Stock Coolers - Good or Bad?

    I never put the retail HSF on my 4770k as the build was planned in advance. But I did pick up a 3770k on the cheap a month ago and, before I put into its final resting home, I slapped the retail hsf on it just to make sure the cpu and mobo were in good working order. Not satisfied with that, I...

    Ever felt buyer's remorse on your CPU?

    I had two less than stellar cpu experiences: a 950 Duron that overclocked all the way to . . . 950. Actually, I think I might have gotten it to 1 GHz at one point, but it was a worthless overclocker. Much later on I picked up a Q6600 on an insane deal at Fry's (what made it insane was that they...

    What CPU for low power NAS

    You planted a seed in the back of my head and, though I tried to ignore it, I finally gave in today and hooked up my Vantec external enclosure (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817392056) to my KAW. I know it's not technically a NAS since it has no network interface, but it could...

    Best budget LGA1155 chip for HTPC?

    Does an ECC compatible I3 exist that can go very fast? Need stupid fast 1 thread ECC

    The processors you linked are all intended for mobile applications. It's been this way since (at least) Lynnfield / Clarkdale. The dual cores support ECC in server motherboards, the quads do not. I've spent many an hour debating whether to buy a server board for one of my i3 550s for the ECC...

    i3 530 vs. intel g630

    The i3 5xx processors are rather underrated. When SB came out, and everyone freaked out over them, I picked up 3 i3 550s on various Fry's sales (average price per cpu - ~$60) and couldn't be happier with them. Two of them are in HTPCs while the other is in a 24/7 torrent and DVR box. Each of my...

    ivy bridge i3 review ?

    The first generation i3s (Clarkdale) could be BCLK overclocked, and oh man, could they be overclocked! I've picked up three i3 550s on various Fry's deals (averaging out to about $60 a cpu) and all three run at over 4 GHz without breaking a sweat. No added voltage necessary and only slightly...

    Is Intel's low-end becoming a worse value for money than it used to be?

    I'm a bit shocked by some of the responses on this thread. It seems everyone's decided to let Intel off the hook for locking down their processors - which is what this thread is about, right? Alright, I'll play along. The E5xxx series was the wrong comparison - the Celeron E3xxx processors are...
