  1. TM-AC1900 with RT-Asus AC68U firmware reverted to T-Mobile firmware!

    Well, this just happened to me and I don't know if I have the time/patience to go through all this again. EDIT: I should mention, I was not using the iOS app to update. I was using chrome from a wired desktop. It was the same thing. Said to manually reboot and when I did, it was T-mobile again...

  2. Good Android Box - Kodi

    I'm a big fan of the Chromebox units running OpenElec/LibreElec. Lightning fast, no issues playing 1080p bluray rips with full TrueHD/DTSHD audio (unlike may of the lower priced units). If you set them up to dual boot with Chrome OS, you can get Netflix and other streaming sites.

  3. Fractal Design R4 vs R5

    R5 has better implementation for water cooling radiators as well. The top vents on the R4 are too close to the motherboard to really fit a radiator+fans. They are offset on the R5 to give more room.

  4. How "used" is a HDD with 25,000 hours but 25 power-on cycles?

    FYI, those Hitachi were rated 1-million hours MTBF. I wouldn't worry. I have a pair of them myself, bought refurbed. Been using for more than a year in my NAS. Troublefree.

  5. Question about mounting an AIO water cooling radiator

    The Jet-Flow fans with that Nepton are very loud when spinning at higher speeds. However, they are fairly quiet when at low speed. The Nepton has such amazing cooling capability, you don't need them spinning much above minimum speeds. Assuming you have the fans hooked directly to PWM CPU fan...

  6. SSD Company with best and easiest RMA policy

    I just did an RMA with PNY and it was painless. I called, said it was not working correct. (Write speed was VERY slow...<20MB/s). They said yeah, send it back with proof of purchase. They sent me an RMA# and instructions by email. I sent it in. A week later I had a brand new replacement (upgrade...

  7. advice needed on mITX or mATX liquid cooled cases.

    The Aerocool Deep Silence Cube (DS Cube) can support a pretty good bit of water cooling, especially if you use a mITX board and remove the front drive cage (a bit of modding to do this) and don't use an optical drive. http://www.aerocool.us/ds/ds_bk.html It can fit 240 (possibly a 280) on top...

  8. How much do I really need??

    Lots of PS calculators out there. Here is one: http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

  9. Which "old" SSD should I keep?

    And PNY is sending a new replacement, happens to be the CS2211, which has a Phison S10 controller. Hopefully as good or better than the SM2246EN versions.

  10. Please recommend a quiet low profile CPU cooler to replace Intel stock one.

    Some of this is kinda dated, but it breaks them down into heights. http://www.frostytech.com/top5_lowprofile_heatsinks.cfm I have used the Scythe Shuriken. Its pretty quiet overall and keeps my Shuttle XPC temps around 35 (core 2 quad). I wouldn't expect to overclock and keep it quiet unless...

  11. Which "old" SSD should I keep?

    Ironically, I ran Crystal Disk Mark and AS SSD on the PNY (sandforce) and it is miserably slow at writes (talking 8MB/s). I guess I had noticed some problems with the overall speed of the system it was in shortly before I replaced it. Looks like RMA time. Decision made.

  12. Which "old" SSD should I keep?

    99% sure its Sandforce. I'll check it tonight. It is not the one with flames on the cover. I dunno. I think the SF2281 problems were mostly early on and firmware related. I've had several now since ~2013 and never had a problem with one. I have a Kingston in my laptop that's been going strong...

  13. The cheap SSDs thread

    Definite, YMMV at Microcenter B&M. Stock is out at most stores. Micron/Crucial M550 256GB M.2 drive for $50. In-store only. http://www.microcenter.com/product/453561/256GB_SATA_III_6GB-s_M2_Type_2280_Solid_State_Drive_MTFDDAV256MAY-1AH12ABYY_%E2%80%93_Bulk I bought one last night and it has...

  14. Should I switch to a smaller case?

    Most of the smaller cases only support 1-3 drives. Many don't have optical bays. I guess it depends a lot on what you plan to do with the computer. I keep a lot of video, photos, music, games, so I have 5 physical drives in my PC and optical drives are an absolute must for me. Mid tower is the...

  15. SSD Evo 850 and Windows 10

    Magician is good for checking/updating firmware and possibly if you want to do a secure erase. Don't need it to do trim though. It found a firmware update for my 850 EVO just yesterday. As for the optimization stuff, most of it doesn't matter much. I like to keep off system restore to save...

  16. Which "old" SSD should I keep?

    I have a some spare SSDs. I'm going to put one in a secondary X68/Ivy system (will be mostly used by my kids) and sell the other one with a different X68/Ivy build that I'm doing. The choices are PNY XLR8 240GB or Crucial M4 256GB. The PNY actually has a little less than a year of...

  17. That's more like it

    Yeah, the night before last, I was trying to boot to a Parted Magic disc and do a secure erase of an SSD before putting a new image on it with Acronis. Kept rebooting and saying no bootable. Finally after 3-4 times, I realized that I never put the SATA cable on the DVD drive.

  18. That's more like it

    I recently upgraded from an i5-3570k system cooled by an Antec Kuhler 920 (in a Refine R4 case) I had decent temps with that setup. Around 25-28 idle, near 60 when encoding with handbrake, but that was with a very silent custom profile. The upgrade was to a 5820k and in the process, I...

  19. X99 Motherboard which one should i buy?

    I'm happy so far with the Gigabyte X99-SLI. It has been on/off sale at Fry's (sometimes available for shipping too) a few times over the last couple months. It has most of the features that people want. Yes, it has a bit slower M.2 connection compared to some, and the BIOS lacks some features...

  20. new system which brand of X99 for less than $300

    There is a bit of what is called the "silicon lottery"...meaning some chips overclock better than others. I might set the overclocking ambitions a bit lower. Water cooling won't get you that much more than a good air cooler unless you do a custom loop setup. Otherwise, the 240 or 280 size...

  21. new system which brand of X99 for less than $300

    Yes, a typo. I personally don't think the refresh boards will bring much to offer, and they will probably be quite a wait until they hit the retail channels (Computex isn't for another month). As others have said, it will still be X99 chipset. They may add some 3rd party features, but I don't...

  22. new system which brand of X99 for less than $300

    I keep seeing deals at Fry's on X99 boards. They have had a some MSI and a Gigabyte board in the $100-$120 range with promo code/rebate. None are the latest/greatest, but they are all sufficient to build a stable system with room to grow. They are typically showing up in their daily promo code...

  23. Bummer, no Netflix on WMC after 9/15

    The Netflix addon in Kodi pretty much blows. I tried and and was so frustrated, I never went back. I'd rather keyboard it in a browser.

  24. Bummer, no Netflix on WMC after 9/15

    This sucks. I switched to WMC computers about 18 months ago so that I didn't have to switch to different devices for streaming my local media and Netflix. Now WMC Netfix is going away and WMC is becoming more or less extinct with the onslaught of Win 10. I had 3 tivos with lifetime and I sold...

  25. DIY HDTV Antenna

    I've been an OTA user since about 2005. I will tell you, just about any antenna mounted outside will perform better than even the best design mounted indoors. My area has mostly all UHF, plus two high VHF channels since the ATSC transistion. I've been using the original Channel Master 8-Bay...

  26. [DEAD] HIS R9 270 $185 at Amazon (0 in stock)

    It is still available from Newegg for $185+~$6 for shipping. Newegg has finally dropped their prices across the board on the R9 cards. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161449

  27. Seagate 600 Series 480GB SSD $229.99 shipped AC TigerDirect

    I have 4 SSDs. No issues whatsoever over the last 18 months. I've also built 2 other systems for friends with SSDs. No issues for them either.

  28. Crucial 240GB M500 SSD Drive.....$109.99!

    Umm, this is what prices are supposed to do. They've switched to smaller node manufacturing, NAND is cheaper for them now. SSD prices should have been dropping across the board for they last year, but they were held artificially high IMO. Glad to finally see them at or under 50c/GB now.

  29. [Warm] Kingston V300 (SF-2281 - asynchronous flash) SSDs @ Amazon.com

    The early reviews of these drives were good. However, Kingston did pull a switcheroo on them and all the currently shipping drives use asynchronous NAND. I have one that I bought in February 2013. It is pretty fast and has been trouble free. I recently bought one from Microcenter for a build...

  30. Galaxy GTX 460 768MB $89.99 after $60MIRs + shipping @ Tigerdirect

    Thuban 2.8Ghz. BC2 is one of the few games that will use all 6 cores.

  31. Steam Sale Begins Today 1pm est - GAME OVER :(

    FarCry2 for $5 STALKER bundle for $5 Hitman series $7.50

  32. Galaxy GTX 460 768MB $89.99 after $60MIRs + shipping @ Tigerdirect

    OK, I did some gaming the other night (some BC2). The fan noise does get noticeable after about 5 minutes. I guess its to be expected. Its not overly loud though and for me, it was not distracting from the game. The card handled BC2 at High settings with no problems. I'm only running 1280x1024...

  33. Galaxy GTX 460 768MB $89.99 after $60MIRs + shipping @ Tigerdirect

    Mine came yesterday. Really nice product from what I can see. Nice heatpipe cooler, nice heatsink on the regulators. Installed without a hiccup. I like the positioning of the power connectors. Makes it much easier since they are not interfering with my SATA connectors on the drives. Nice low...

  34. Galaxy GTX 460 768MB $89.99 after $60MIRs + shipping @ Tigerdirect

    I grabbed one today. I'm not worried about the rebates. Galaxy rebates are handled through 4myrebate.com which has always been good for me. I was going to hold out for a 1GB, but this should be a nice upgrade from my 9600GSO.

  35. MSI GTX 460 768 OC for $120 AR at NE

    I concur with this. I purchased an MSI motherboard with a rebate back in June. Didn't get the check until September, approx 5 months later, but hey, I did get it!

  36. Palit GTX460 1GB for $129 AR

    Had one of these in my hands this morning, but decided to wait. It seems the prices are dropping like flies on these 460. I'll wait till EVGA, Asus, or one of the other big brands drops their prices. The Newegg reviews for this model show some possible reliability issues.

  37. 8800GTX died..need replacement

    I understand your reluctance to rely on rebates to make a good deal, but they are almost always a factor when it comes to graphics cards. That HD 5670 would be 1 tier lower than your old 8800 GTX according to the Hierarchy Chart at Tom's. The same website recommends the HD4850 or the...

  38. 8800GTX died..need replacement

    You near a Microcenter? They have a pretty good deal on an EVGA GTX 460 768GB. http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0342001 $160-$30 rebate If you wanted to go cheaper and have roughly the same performance of your now dead 8800GTX, you could get this one for $55 after rebate...

  39. Why the GTX 460 was right for me!

    I see, it was a 2nd hand purchase.

  40. Why the GTX 460 was right for me!

    Fess up on where you found that deal already.
