  1. Need tripple monitor wall mount.

    That's a desk stand. And from what I can see in the reviews, 27" might be pushing it (won't fit).
  2. Need tripple monitor wall mount.

    I'm pondering the change of my setup to a trio of the new 27" ASUS VG278HE gaming 144Hz monitors. But I want them wall mounted in the nice arc on one mount so they don't get independently moved around. Mount must also have a nice extension from the wall and some move-ability (while mounted, not...

    WINNERS ARE ANNOUNCED!
  4. Christmas-Core Giveaway: Win $125

    I've given away used benchmarked CPUs for almost two decades... Last year I decided to give away cash instead... The turnout was tremendously more popular; So I'm going to continue that route as long as I can afford it. This year the prize is going to be: $125! To enter, just fill out the...
  5. Policy on selling Steam games

    If you're thinking about selling your old games that you own in Steam; you can't. Steam won't let you. If you're selling new coupons for games to be registered through Steam; Anandtech won't let you from what I gather... They don't want to be liable for bad sales and that's a very easy way to...
  6. Stolen bandwidth

    If you have a wireless router that is unsecured then it is entirely possible someone is leaching off your internet. Lock it down.
  7. rattling sound only when case cover is on

    It could be as simple as an imbalanced fan or a PS connector very close to the case side. Check for the simple things first. The faster the fans spin, the more they tend to vibrate if they aren't perfectly balanced (few are really). So a connector close to the case side, with just the right...
  8. Is Linux and Unix essentially the same thing?

    Front end yes, but in the big business, I rarely see Windows as the full backend... For Oracle servers, Web servers, etc. Various flavors of Linux or deticated UNIX servers (SUN or HP) are what I see most often for the backend in medium to large businesses. The only windows backend we currently...
  9. Gigabit ethernet very fast...in one direction

    Did you see my above thoughts? Also, have you tried this with any other system or HDD on the slow end? It is possible the read speed of that particular drive is simply failing all together. Or that that particular system has an issue of it's own.
  10. Gigabit ethernet very fast...in one direction

    You might have some caching going on with the drives that doesn't happen when reading. For example, even writing to my slow green 5400RPM conventional patter drives, (normal ~ 80M/sec write sustained), I can move a few G file from my SSD to one of those drives and it moves at 500MBytes/sec or...
  11. Motherboard design question, and overclocking.

    Heat Pipes allow you to conduct heat away from a surface. Instead of one large heat sink, the pipes transfer heat to sinks not directly atop the item to be cooled. It doesn't cool better necessarily just because it has heat pipes. Motherboards use the pipes to space out the sinks so they don't...
  12. HTPC build vs. alternatives

    Uhh.. so what? For ~$200 your SSD might be able to keep 2 or 3 BR ISOs on a 120G drive since they are between 18 to 40+ Gig each?!?... It's not going to be a storage drive. Only a completely loaded (rich) moron would even consider that. So to get the cover art, you'd have to first find the file...
  13. Sold my 5770 which 69xx do I get?

    And you're calling someone else names?!? Wow... Very civil... I'm all about the best bang for the buck.. and at ~80% of the price (260 vs 320), potential for 2.1FPS slower, I'd call that a win in any book, I don't care who or what but that's a win with both of them over 60FPS anyhow. It's not...
  14. Sold my 5770 which 69xx do I get?

    The 6950 and 6970 are basically the same card (reference design). the 70 just binned out stronger. Many people have had great success flashing their 50's to 70's... And if by chance it didn't handle it, it's just as easy to flash it back. Anyhow, that would be a 6970 for the mid to high...
  15. 2600k not detecting 8 cores w/hyperthreading UPDATE: FIXED!!!

    Something is turning off your cores. Even task manager there only shows two cores (four threads). Otherwise there should be 8 CPU windows because threaded, it's 8 logical cores... One CPU Usage History box for each thread. 8 boxes...
  16. 2600k not detecting 8 cores w/hyperthreading UPDATE: FIXED!!!

    Did you transfer an install of windows to the new board/chip or did you do a fresh install? I've heard of issues with transfers with turbo (or even just adding a turbo chip to an already existing board with a previously non-turbo chip). Don't know if it's related but... anything bad is possible...

  18. 2600k not detecting 8 cores w/hyperthreading UPDATE: FIXED!!!

    Turbo should be turning off cores to ramp up fewer cores to a higher performance level. If that's what you're asking...
  19. 2600k not detecting 8 cores w/hyperthreading UPDATE: FIXED!!!

    CPUid has been known to have issues with Intel's new chip. As with the other tools, it's likely something to do with chip identification methods they all use. Still it sounds much like a 3rd party problem which would be more accurately directed toward them.
  20. Help pick me a PSU please :D

    I have been buying only the Corsair supplies lately. Seasonic is my other choice but more $ involved so... I have a gross of Corsair units from the 550 through the 1200 (a lot of 650's, 750's and an 850). They are all rock solid units and I would recommend them absolutely. However there are...
  21. New gamer build - No video on 1st power up

    Ditto. Glad I could help! :)
  22. New gamer build - No video on 1st power up

    First thoughts; do you have the PCIe power connectors from the power supply to the video card? Without it, it will not likely power up. Also the 8-pin 12V supply to the motherboard along with the main 24 pin power? The video card is in the first PCIe slot? (first full-sized one closest to the...
  23. dropped laptop, how much to fix

    That's a nice find Lanyap. Glad you got it fixed Jets! Always good to hear a success story!
  24. HTPC build vs. alternatives

    Ya, that's the catch. The software. As formentioned, older versions of PDVD work just fine unless you want to bitstream. PDVD 10 is probably the best single option out there but it's stupid expensive with a lot of features we don't need. We're all waiting for sly-player. ATM is popular but I...
  25. x8/x8 vs x16/x16

    I did some testing with this myself a while back and only saw up to a 6% difference at extreme stress levels (res and toys). Now that test wasn't with 6xxx series cards but. Still I doubt it would be much. The PCIe link isn't the limiting factor in Crossfire. And the 6x series is so much better...
  26. HTPC build vs. alternatives

    I may not have been clear... Let me try to iterate a bit better... With DVDs on a computer; simply clicking on the menu parts works for selection. This is not the case with blu-rays though. However simply using the arrow keys and enter keys does work but mouse clicks themselves don't. It's a...
  27. HTPC build vs. alternatives

    The biggest problem with set-top BluRay players is that none of them currently play 100%. Honestly the best set-top box would be the PS3 if that's your goal for just a Blu-Ray setup. However any Blu-Ray capable HTPC is that good or better. You can update your firmwares if necessary, softwares...
  28. HTPC build vs. alternatives

    Ahh.. Well that would make a difference... There are Laptop-type slot-load BR drives. But they would tend to run up a few bucks. They do make 5450's in the slim card and cooling won't be an issue unless you try to game with it. Encoding won't heat em up. Still I see and understand your post...
  29. HTPC build vs. alternatives

    For $40 or less, a 5450 can get you full bitstreaming 1080p capability. So can the 4xxx series cards but they don't do bitstreaming is the only catch. If you wanted that functionality that is...
  30. Dual band router question

    Think of it this way; it doesn't matter if you have a wired computer, an old B laptop, a G laptop and an N of each flavor connected. They can all talk together. The different protocols just allow each individual box to talk to the switch/router. The Router then controls the communication between...
  31. HDMI Audio Question

    Borrow a dremel with a cutoff wheel and grinder. Remove all of the components to protect them from shavings. Then tape off the area and cut and grind to clean. Pretty cheap tool a lot of people have (or you could buy one for ~ $20 if you needed to) that will do a professional-level job if you're...
  32. HDMI Audio Question

    As aforementioned; The HDMI output itself has the audio you need. You'll have an HDMI audio driver. You should not need any other audio hardware.
  33. HTPC build vs. alternatives

    That's a really cheap excuse... and not entirely accurate either... Your Antec case is anything but silent... If you want a silent setup, you have to build one. Even if you put all your wish list parts in that case, it's going to be no better. You need a case designed for quiet and/or a cooling...
  34. HTPC build vs. alternatives

    I agree; dump the SSD. It's not going to gain you anything in an HTPC. Even a low 5400 RPM drive would be just fine. But myself, I've used smaller WD Blues for this particular issue. Cheap and large and silent and cool, all at the same time. Also, sticking with uATX can save money over mITX...
  35. Sandy Bridge Wafer Question

    Nah, actually, some manufacturing problems can be focused in the center causing fallout in that area. The best die on a given wafer can be anywhere. The very-edge die are most common fallout die but the bulk of the wafer, if properly manufactured, should test successfully. There is really no...
  36. Tri 6950's or 580's in SLI?

    The AMD HD5xxx Series Crossfire sucks compared to the HD6xxx series. They seem to have finally figured out how to pair up cards after all these years. The 6 series is the first to scale really strongly in a multi-card setup. Hence the strength of the CFX 6950 setups.
  37. AMD is no longer world fastest cpu?

    And as for my knowledge, I know a ton more then anyone here would care to admit. I used to work for one of the big two itself and still work in the semiconductor industry directly in areas of design, testing and engineering. I know more then most of the public ever will reading third-party...
  38. AMD is no longer world fastest cpu?

    Comparing the Gulftown to 'mainstream' is like racing a ferrari against a bicycle... Hardly even close. But since as I said, I built my entire system which does everything I need for less then the cost of just that CPU, I'll stick with my AMD. Sure if I had endless pockets, I'd love a...
  39. AMD is no longer world fastest cpu?

    That's not true. A lot of productivity software and things like encoding tools have an excellent execution comparison compared to similarly priced Intels. IF you're trying to compare stronger i7's vs AMD, ya; duh, they're faster. We know... But my 6-core OCs easily to 4GHz and does what I need...
  40. dropped laptop, how much to fix

    IF that's all that's wrong... You can probably get it replaced at a notebook repair shop if you can find one. Around here we have 'Mr. Notebook' which does some of that stuff. But even a simple fix like this can run $100 just for the labor. Depends on what your laptop's really worth, it might...
