  1. Intel SSD Reliability

    could a moderator go ahead and delete this thread. Now I know not to post anything on these forums since it is full of people who know everything.
  2. Intel SSD Reliability

    Wow. You're so smart, let me just bask in the glory of your IQ for a moment.
  3. Intel SSD Reliability

    Pretty sure they never made an X25-m with 25nm flash.
  4. best IVB motherboard for a new build with i7-3770 and GTX 670

    My recommendation is the Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 (or M3 if you want to go micro atx route). Hands down the best board I have ever owned. There are so many extras like a wifi/bluetooth card, esata bracket, all USB 3.0 ports as well as internal usb 2.0 headers. It is a little more expensive than some...
  5. Sufficient Cooling for OCing 3570K

    I am running a 3570K at 4.5 GHz (1.26V) with an Antec Kuhler 920 liquid cooler. The CPU can get pretty hot. During prime 95 the max temperature I hit was about 78 DegC. Bear in mind I am balancing my accoustics with cooling performance. Your cooler looks to have sufficient heat pipes and cooling...
  6. Wall unit ac question. Help! It's going to be hot tomorrow!

    Is it possible you have lost some of the refrigerant charge? Air conditioners sometimes act the way you are describing when the refrigerant pressure drops either due to compressor problems or loss of coolant (even the smallest leak).
  7. Intel SSD Reliability

    I said "hopefully" NOT "I expect to..." (also, the crucial drives use 25nm flash, which I have not tried yet) Once again, I'm not here to argue. I just want to post my experience for others to consider.
  8. Intel SSD Reliability

    I think pretty much everyone has missed the point here. Definition of insanity = doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Why then would I continue to buy intel drives given my history with them? You can quote failure rates until you are blue in the face but...
  9. Intel SSD Reliability

    Agreed.
  10. Intel SSD Reliability

    I'm not here to argue and I'm not looking for solutions or explanations. This is an informative thread so that people in the market for an SSD do not blindly believe that just because they buy an intel drive, they are safe. It is simply not true and in my opinion intel should not be able to...
  11. Intel SSD Reliability

    This is a note to address several articles I have come across lately that state intel's reputation for quality and reliability in the SSD market as if it is a given. These comments are from my personal experience with intel's drives. I have owned 3 intel solid state drives, one X25-M G1, and...
  12. TiCl4 lewis acidity

    You are correct Turtle, I mis-spoke. Had Lewis acid/base backwards. I still agree with you that the answers supplied are correct.
  13. Why does shaking an aerosol can...

    It is the same reason why your refrigerator or air conditioner would not work without an expansion device such as an orifice or valve. It is called an isenthalpic expansion.
  14. Perpetual motion not possible ?. Answer this!.

    I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding the thermodynamic construct of "perpetual motion" and the simple physics behind gravity, and Kepler's Laws.
  15. Stirling Engine - why can't we make them?

    Steam and water such as you find in industrial boilers do not require exotic alloys. Simple stainless steel is a typical material of construction. Remember, a stirling enginer requires a gas that does not condense anywhere near ambient temperatures and pressures. That's why air is part of a...
  16. TiCl4 lewis acidity

    I think you have started to hit it on the head. Going back to the definition of a Lewis Acid as a substance that can donate a pair of electrons to another atom, I believe the TiCl4 can more readily donate electrons than the Ti{OCH(CH3)2}4 simply because TiCl4 has more free electrons available...
  17. Intel X25-M G1 Drive Will Not Boot Anymore

    I have an intel X25-M G1 with the 8820 firmware that my wife used in her laptop. She has windows vista home basic 32 bit installed and one morning she was surfing the internet and she started to experience intermittent "hangs" in the OS. After a while, the computer flashed a black screen up that...
  18. Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme E6400

    I have the new alienware case. I replaced the front 120mm fan with a thermaltake variable speed fan so I could monitor the impact case air flow had on core temps. Even at full speed, the thing sounded like a hair dryer but it did not affect the temperatures. So I don't think it is a case air...
  19. Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme E6400

    I will try your suggestion with the ceramique. We'll see how the temperatures settle out. Thanks.
  20. Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme E6400

    I am using a scythe S-Flex SFF21F 1600rpm (same as anandtech review) on the ultra 120 extreme. Ambient temps are the same. I first tried using arctic silver ceramique. Then I tried the thermal paste that came with the Ultra 120. I experimented with various thicknesses but this really only made...
  21. Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme E6400

    I recently purchased a thermalright ultra 120 extreme in the hopes of achieving lower temperatures on my overclocked E6400. Before I started, I took some baseline readings with the heatsink that came with my alienware. It looks like a Masscool 8WA741 cooler. At a 400FSB and a multiplier of 6, I...
  22. tRD and EVGA 680i

    I have an EVGA 680i sli motherboard with the P29 bios revision. Does EVGA call tRD something else like tRTW? I cannot find a tRD setting within my bios. The only reference I have heard of with this setting on a nvidia platform is the Asus 780i. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  23. Changing from RAID-1 to RAID-5 on the fly

    Thanks, I checked the documentation and found a section on RAID migration. Looks like this is what I'm after. I appreciate the point in the right direction.
  24. Changing from RAID-1 to RAID-5 on the fly

    We are currently running a server with 2 36GB SCSI drives in a RAID-1 array. We want to add a third drive to make RAID-5 possible. Our drives are all hot-swappable so adding the hard drive is not a problem. The problem comes from changing the array to a RAID-5. Is it possible to change from a...
  25. College Students: Post Your Schedule for the Upcoming Semester!

    I invoke the rules of shinanigans. I'm at Georgia Tech right now and my roomate is an ECE and he says you are full of crap taking all that in one semester. It cannot be done unless you are a rocket scientist in which case you have no use for an EE degree.
  26. What is the difference between Cambridge Megaworks 210D & CreativeLabs Megaworks 250d?

    The only difference looks to be the Creative speakers are THX certified where I don't see that it says the Cambridge speakers are. THX is George Lucas' cash cow in providing a set of standards for speakers to "live up to". Supposedly, they are produced with stricter quality specs and sound...
  27. Is stock cooling for PIV 2.4 enough for a PIV 3.06 ?

    A very helpful tip to always keep in mind when dealing with computers: Never Skimp on cooling.
  28. How do I enable DMA HDD when using PCI IDE Controller Card?

    Controllers are listed under Device Manager. It is not necessarily listed under the storage icon. You should find PCI IDE controller if you right click on my computer, click on properties then under the hardware tab click device manager. Somewhere, you'll find PCI IDE controller and under its...
  29. Quick installation question

    I've never been a big fan of thermal grease. Stick with the silver thermal compund. Silver has the highest thermal conductivity of any of the elements. Are you talking about the little power connector similar to the plug that goes to the floppy drive? If so, I find it best to work it a little...
  30. speed of light?

    Hey Mickjc, check out the thread Idea: Water Battery in the highly technical forum. This guy is talking about fuel cells and since you did some research on them, you might be able to contribute some good points to the discussion.
  31. Is the Gamecube that good?

    Consoles are no good. They try, but in the end, I will always stay with the PC....always.
  32. PC Posts fine, but won't boot

    I have seen this before. In fact, it has happened to me on several occasions. When it does it once or twice and then works fine, its usually just a windows foul up. But when it does it constantly like you are describing, well, the last time that happened to me the hard drive cylinders were shot...
  33. Is it my CPU or Mobo?

    If it were the CPU or motherboard, you'd never get to the DOS prompt. If I had to guess, I would say it's fdisk. Can't tell you how many times that thing has given me trouble.
  34. (fixed) Sound Card keeps failing or something...

    First of all double check and make sure your speakers are working, or use headphones and plug into the headphone jack. Also, try the windows sound manager and see if there is anything that is muted. Sometimes that happens to me, I hit the mute on my keyboard and dont notice it. Double check...
  35. The center of a black hole...

    All of these discussions are quite good and well thought out. I agree with everyone here that black holes are very theoretical entities and you cannot get a hard and fast answer to the questions. I think it is interesting that gamma radiation (photons of radiation) can escape a black hole while...
  36. Does gravity effect heat ?

    From a practical standpoint, and in this case particulalry, always remember that heat is transferred DOWN a temperature gradient. That is, heat is tranferred FROM a hot source TO a cooler source and not vice versa. In an abstract theoretical argument, gravity may play some role, but any...
  37. Steel or Aluminum?

    Convection still has influence here. Remember, if heat were not transferred away from the case by convection to the surrounding air, then the case would get hotter and hotter. I am not saying your argument is wrong or invalid, just incomplete. Heat transfer can be pretty complicated, remeber to...
  38. Supposed "perpetual motion" device

    You are arguning semantics. The idea of perpetual motion is a machine that basically gives you "free energy". Just like the cold fusion craze back in the 80's. Your analysis of motion in a frictionless void is valid, but I am talking about a perpetual motion DEVICE. Perhaps the phrase perpetual...
  39. people that are in UC irvine

    Go to the Georgia Institute of Technology. It is an extremely good school with lots of bang for the buck. Best education for the price if you ask me.
  40. Supposed "perpetual motion" device

    Perpetual motion is NOT possible. Period. End of story. NOT in nature, not anywhere. It is a simplle matter of thermodynamics. One of the problems you analyze is the thermodynamic stability of a GENERIC system in which you "get something for nothing". Common sense tells you that you cannot...
