  1. Hangouts on Android/iOS now does *voice calls*, GV integration trickling out again

    I had my GV number forwarding to my regular number at first, so when someone called me both Hangouts and the standard phone app would ring. I turned off forwarding and now making and receiving calls from my regular number and GV number separately seems to be working fine. SMS also seems to...
  2. Anyone excited for OnePlus?

    I got a Sandstone Black 64GB a couple days ago. Works flawlessly, no yellow band or anything.
  3. Should I bother with grad school (EE major)?

    I've focused on electromagnetics/antennas in undergrad, with some signal processing. My plan was to continue that path in grad school with more of a focus on signal processing, as that's what I've been most successful in. There are TA and RA positions, but most of them go to PhD students...
  4. Should I bother with grad school (EE major)?

    Research is unlikely; from what I've gathered from talking to my professors they favor PhD students for these positions, and my GPA, while pretty good, isn't mindblowingly awesome either. I do like the idea of my job paying for it though... I've been working since 2000, but not much of it...
  5. Should I bother with grad school (EE major)?

    I know there are a bunch of electrical engineering people here on AT so I thought I'd pick your brains. Some background: I'm 30 years old. Started school in 2003 in Comp Sci, switched schools and majors the following year (to film...:|), had my kidneys fail, and eventually flunked out due to...
  6. Is this even right? (3770k for 229.99 @ Microcenter)

    Are you guys sure they pricematch Newegg? I used to work there and they were pretty strict about not pricematching online stores, only local stores. That was a few years ago though, so their policy may have changed.
  7. Laptops for people who aren't idiots? Where did all the useful features go?

    This right here. I went from an XPS M1330 to an X220 and it's the best computer decision I've ever made. It's light, portable, and you can barely tell it's on (unlike the M1330, where the burns on your thighs let you know pretty quickly). Definitely add an MSATA drive.
  8. critique my HTPC build please

    That's pretty similar to the system I just built (in my sig). I used the smaller ML03B but everything fit in there fine. I'm also using a HD HomeRun Prime. The 6300 wireless card should be adequate too; I used my laptop as the HTPC before I built this system and it has a 6300 in it. I'm using...
  9. Looking for feedback on HTPC build...

    The G850 is cheaper, yeah, but it's slower than the 5800k in everything but single-threaded tasks. Going from the AT review the 3220 would be closer in performance, but combine that with a graphics card and you're pushing $200. I'm just not sure that price premium is worth the savings in...
  10. Looking for feedback on HTPC build...

    Thanks, I appreciate the input. The G850 isn't going to have the CPU power that the A10 does, though, according to the AT review. It's going to be background encoding video a lot of the time so I'd want something like a 3220 if I were going Intel. Heat and noise aren't much of a concern...
  11. Looking for feedback on HTPC build...

    This is going to be a cheap, low-power box intended to blend in with my stereo and TV. I'll be using it for Netflix, watching ripped DVDs, and recording TV off an HDHomeRun Prime. The recorded TV will be stripped of commercials and re-encoded for smaller size using MCEBuddy. It will also be...
  12. SWatch T.V and play games at same time?

    Probably a better bet would be to change the output in whatever video program you're using. Set the default Windows sound output to your soundcard and then change the video player to use the HDMI. I know you can do this in MPC Home Cinema.
  13. Receiver for HTPC?

    Appreciate the responses, guys. I shopped around and and ended up buying a Denon AVR-1712. The setup was a little cumbersome but it sounds awesome now that it's set up. A harmomy remote isn't a bad idea... you can control PCs with those too, right?
  14. Receiver for HTPC?

    Hey everyone, I'm going to be putting together a HTPC sometime in the next couple months (after the Ivy Bridge i3's and Trinity chips are out) and was looking for advice/recommendations on a stereo receiver to pair it with. Right now I've just got a pair of old-school floor speakers with 8"...
  15. Worklog: Water-cooled Antec P280

    That's a 3000 RPM Scythe UltraKaze. It's 38mm. Sounds like a jet engine at full blast but I had it hooked up to a fan controller. Yeah, after cleaning that thing out the first time I figured the color wasn't worth the hassle. I replaced the 922's tubing with UV blue tubing and went to...
  16. Start up cost for WC?

    You don't need a triple rad AND a double rad for just a CPU and gpu. I have a double and a single on mine and it works fine. Here's roughly what mine cost: Pump - $50 Double rad: $50 Single rad $40 Tubing: $15 Reservoir: $40 CPU block: $70 GPU block: $50 10 compression fittings plus angle...
  17. Worklog: Water-cooled Antec P280

    Temps: CPU Idle/Load (LinX) GPU Overall the case is as spacious and easy to work in as all the reviews have stated. It was far superior to the 922. There is a ton of space and cable tiedowns behind the motherboard for wiring. Aside from a few small issues it's a great case for...
  18. Worklog: Water-cooled Antec P280

    So this isn't exactly a "new" system... it's 2-3 year old hardware. My old HAF922 was getting pretty long in the tooth and I wanted something a little more modern. Having owned a P180 back in the day I decided I'd go with Antec's latest update. There are plenty of reviews out there...
  19. (Solved) Computer turns off when put to sleep

    For the record, I solved this issue. It was indeed related to having my boot drive on the Marvell controller. I was able to successfully enter sleep mode by disabling hybrid sleep in the power settings and installing this hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2541014 . I re-enabled hybrid...
  20. (Solved) Computer turns off when put to sleep

    I was ejecting a flash drive and I noticed that Windows seems to think that the SSD is a removable disk. Perhaps that has something to do with it? Maybe Windows is trying to eject the SSD when it goes to sleep and that causes it to shut down? Does anyone know how to set the disk as...
  21. (Solved) Computer turns off when put to sleep

    The problem with that though is this is a P55 board so SATA III isn't built-in to the Intel chipset, it's only available from that separate controller.
  22. (Solved) Computer turns off when put to sleep

    I recently upgraded my SSD to a Samsung 830 and did a fresh install of Windows 7 along with it. Ever since, whenever I put my computer into sleep mode, it instead turns itself off, and then throws the "improper shutdown" error at me when I turn it back on. I can't figure out what would cause...
  23. Speedstep yay or nay?

    My specs are in my sig; I've been running a pretty good OC with speedstep on for close to 2 years now without a single stability issue. Pretty much as others have said, you only need to turn that stuff off if you are going for max OC. I have an electric bill to pay, so I'd prefer to not have...
  24. Moto Razr, HTC Rezound or wait for Galaxy Nexus?

    By the time NFC is even useful the GNex will be long obsolete. The on-screen buttons take away from your screen resolution. I did end up getting the Rezound last week and am loving it so far. Sense is decent... I put LauncherPro on it and it feels pretty much like my old phone. Reception...
  25. Moto Razr, HTC Rezound or wait for Galaxy Nexus?

    The same idiots that would pay $120 retail for them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Monster-ibeats-Beats-Dr-Dre-Earbuds-Headphones-BRAND-NEW-SEALED-/120819148734?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item1c2161e7be $96 with 15 hours left, among others... I go to Ohio State... Beats™ by Dre™ are very...
  26. Moto Razr, HTC Rezound or wait for Galaxy Nexus?

    I'm also coming from an original Droid. I went to the store the other day and checked out the Razr and the Rezound. I found the Rezound vastly more comfortable. Seemed solidly built as well and had a better screen. The Razr just seemed awkward. Reviews have complained about the Rezound's...
  27. iOS + Android > PSP + DS

    Have the consoles actually lost significant game sales to the phone market, though? Seems to me like it would be more of a case of a new market being formed among phone users. I mean, who is the target market for the handheld consoles? I'd say kids. Kids don't have smartphones. (... or do...
  28. Opinions on Sub $100 Air Cooled Cases

    It can't, I have one. However I can't think of a video card that wouldn't fit in there. My 5850 has plenty of room to spare. See my sig for a picture.
  29. Please ell me how to increase cooling in an Optiplex 990 Case?

    You'd need to look for a 3-pin fan header on the motherboard. There may be one towards the front edge of the board for exactly that purpose. Otherwise you'd need to get a fan controller if you wanted your fans to be temperature controlled; they will run constantly if you run them directly off...
  30. Galaxy Nexus and RAZR aren't it, is the HTC Rezound?

    Thank you. I've been looking for some quantitative data as to what exactly "with Beats Audio" meant. I was 99% sure it was just marketing baloney but a small piece of me hoped that it might mean actual audio hardware improvements. Nope :P
  31. Seasonic X650 vs GTX 570 SLI?

    Thanks. I love it, it's given me no reason to want to upgrade to SB. :) My load test was a bit beyond just a gaming load, though. I ran LinX and Furmark at the same time. Furmark really beats the hell out of a PSU, as shown in your link. So it's kind of a worst-case scenario, you're not...
  32. Do 80 Plus PSUs generate less heat?

    As an example, the fan on my x650 doesn't even run most of the time. It only comes on if I start a game or an encoding job.
  33. Seasonic X650 vs GTX 570 SLI?

    I agree... my rig pulls about 450W. I have more peripherals, but a 570 pulls about 90W more than a 5850. 330W from the socket, according to this. So you're looking at around 300W when you consider the x650's ~90% efficiency. Edit: I mean test rig's PSU, which is closer to 85%. Still a lot...
  34. Can I connect an eSATA port to a SATA 3 port?

    Thanks, guys. I don't really have any need for hot-swappability. I'm just thinking of picking up a large SATA3 drive to get an external eSATA enclosure for to leave it plugged in all the time. That 3TB Hitachi on Newegg for $109 looks awfully tempting.
  35. 2 different hardrives fail in same day

    Find an unused molex plug (the old style 4-pin hard drive plug). Stick the black lead of the multimeter into the socket attached to the black wire on the plug (ground), then stick the multimeter's red lead into the yellow wire socket to measure the +12V rail. The red wire on the molex plug is...
  36. Can I connect an eSATA port to a SATA 3 port?

    My case has an eSATA port - could I run it to an internal SATA 3 port with a SATA 3 cable and have it work at that speed?
  37. Great price on x220?

    Sorry for the off-topic, but how do you get the student discount? Their student website is broken, apparently... nothing ever shows up where you select a school, i've tried on different computers and web browsers...
  38. IPS: Bad for battery life?

    I'm planning on buying an x220 this week, so I looked into this, and here's what I found: the x220's IPS panel is built by LG, and apparently their "Enhanced IPS" technology allows for fewer backlights and thus lower power draw. I think the difference will be negligible... nobody has ever...
  39. USB devices initialize slowly at boot

    The title pretty much sums it up. When I boot, my USB devices take several minutes to start working. Now, it's not all of the devices, only some of them. Doesn't matter what port they're plugged into. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Right now it's my keyboard and my...
  40. Clicking and popping sound

    It's not the speakers. If it were a speaker issue, why would restarting the audio service get rid of it? o_O Besides, I use headphones 90% of the time anyway. I'm using the latest Windows 7 drivers right off HT Omega's website, onboard is disabled in BIOS. Incidentally, I had clean sound...
