So, I can install Windows 10 left and right until I'm blue in the face with no problem. However, Windows 10 Pro requires a user name and password to get to a point where I can toss on any additional software or drivers...
So, how do I easily install Windows, drivers, and software on a system...
Greetings all.
With the startling number of bad reviews on the ASUS boards on Newegg.com (and having encountered issues with the Asus X99-A on previous i7-5820k build), I am questioning my default choice for a new i7-6850k based build and would welcome input.
My must haves:
- Support for...
Howdy all.
So, I'm back in retail land (still) while searching for a job that pays a living wage (three degrees later), and I recently came across Intel's Retail Edge program. Sure, it's chock full of (often misleading) PR rubbish (Intel HD graphics are "eye popping!") intermixed with sometimes...
So...
Time Warner Cable has a local monopoly in the state capital of South Carolina. Their service is pretty awful. It's gotten to the point where, if I want to have them address any of my issues, I generally have to put in 8 to 12 hours of work, troubleshooting, and diagnostics (on my end)...
Howdy,
I have a crappy roommate. One of the many crappy things he does is hog all the friggin bandwidth (streaming TV while playing LoL while loudly talking over voice over IP). I'd like to be able to limit the percentage of bandwidth he's allowed to by device(s), IP, or (even better) MAC...
I've been surprised to find that, thus far, I've been unable to find a place to purchase and legally download 1080p tv shows or movies that I can play a file on any media player or any device I own using whatever software I want. I don't want a damn disk.
I want to throw money at the people...
Howdy.
So, kinda a dumb question.
I'm running the good 'ol Asus P8 Z77-V Pro with a Core i5-3570k, with My Geforce 670 GTX cards in the 1st and 3rd PCI express 16x slots. I was curious to see if I tossed in my old ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 series PCI express card in the 3rd slot, if I could use...
Thanks for the suggestion on the case. Yes, I planned on operating the two SSDs from the motherboard. I only planned on using the RAID controller for the HDD array. What sort of cable would I need to run from the Intel controller to a back plate like that and/or where could I find out that...
So, I've been going insane as I've spent over 2 hours trying to figure out what CABLES to use to connect 8 hard drives to a RAID controller for a RAID 10 array in a desktop computer case (they didn't want a rack mount).
a potential client wants a RAID 10 array in a desktop computer (despite my...
I'm starting to wonder if SAS is a bad call... I've been flabbergasted that retailers of hard drives and RAID controllers don't provide the connector types. Being unable to clearly determine what friggin' CABLES I need to connect the 4TB WD RE SAS drives (model WD4001FYYG) to a RAID controller...
The short:
I'm having trouble finding reviews and information on PCI-E hardware RAID controllers capable of running 8 drives in a RAID 10 array. The array is for storage of video in a dedicated video editing workstation.
The long:
I may have bitten off more than I can chew. (Especially...
I'm having a lot of trouble finding good articles about why a Quadro should be purchased for video editing over a Geforce... especially considering that NVIDIA's Quadro vs. Geforce document is almost entirely about 3d and CAD optimizations, not video.
Has anyone seen any good write ups by...
Heyo.
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with Steam in-home streaming. In the process, I discovered that the Marvel Yukon NIC integrated into my old Asus P5B Deluxe won't show up on my fairly new ASUS RT-N56U router's client list, in addition to being unable to see the computer I want to...
Short version:
What the hell do "HEUR/QVM10.1.Malware.Gen" and "HEUR/GVM36.0.Malware.Gen" do? I can't find any information anywhere about what these files that my AV software (360 total security) flagged as malware actually DO. Where can you easily find out what a specific virus / malware does...
Hey all. I'm going to extreme measures to test / burn in a new near silent gaming rig for a family member. While doing an unrealistic usage scenario (simultaneously running Intel Burn Test 2.54 at maximum stress level, BOINC with 100% allowance on GPU and CPU, FurMark 1.15.1.0 stress test with...
But as I previously said, you can't BUY an overlord... I've been on the mailing list for months. Not a peep. :(
I've emailed the company directly. I'd not be surprised if one can't buy the 120 Hz IPS from Overlord until June. :(
-edit- holy crap... they have some listed right now. when the...
I'm building the new SLI rig for a close family member, so no, I won't be giving them my Yamasaki. I need a new monitor for the build. Their crappy old 20" is grossly inadequate for what they want from a new gaming computer.
My old Yamasaki is only "okay" for gaming, and was largely acquired as...
The Short:
I'm building a new high end gaming system for a close family member and having trouble finding a solid monitor for a reasonable price. What's the best 2560x1440 27" to 30" gaming IPS available for under $600 that can be purchased now (or at LEAST by month's end) in the USA?
The...
Howdy all.
The short:
running a Athlon FX 8320 system with 2-way Geforce 280 GTX SLI on my older 625 watt Enermax Modu82+ PSU. That should be enough power, right?
The Long:
I recently did a partial rebuild on a computer, powered by a 625 Enermax Modu 82+ 625 watt PSU...
I'm not sure if this is a windows issue, or an issue with the toshiba satellite u845w...
Much of the time (though not every time) when I left click something using either the built in trackpad or a plug in USB mouse, it seems like the click is registered as a click and hold, rather than a...
On BOINC, I recently broke into the top 5,000 for US position, and 15,000 for world position using my core i5 and 2 x Geforce 670 GTX cards and an old Athlon 64 x2 (socket 939, woo!) with 2 x Geforce 280 GTX cards.
Yes, I'm on the Anandtech team :P
Howdy all.
I recently broke the top 5000 in the US for BOINC rank, as well as breaking 15,000 in the world for contribution to BOINC, and it occurred to me... I have a number of older GPUs sitting around and would be tickled if I could put some of them towards some GPU computing, even if they...
Howdy all,
I'm having trouble finding a driver that's stable for my Geforce 280 GTX 2-way SLI set-up. The default driver that windows 7 64-bit loads only sees one of my graphics cards. If I download the latest driver from NVIDIA, it's difficult to get it to install (even if I do a clean install...
Well, it would seem one of my sets of Klipsch Promedia 5.1 speakers died... I've had them for about 8 years.
The big question now is should I replace them with A - High end surround sound headphones (must be super comfy!), B - find someone to repair them (I already found this thread on the...
Howdy all,
I'm struggling to figure out the best bang for the buck in terms of getting a motherboard and processor for 2-way SLI. I'm looking at both AM3+ and LGA 1155 options.
Are there any decent SLI capable motherboards for $100? What's the best bang for the buck SLI motherboard available...
The Geforce 280 GTX is a little faster than a Geforce 550 GTX Ti. That and you can find them on sale for about $60.
I'm using the old card because it's the fastest thing with an s-video out port.
The problem I'm having on the AMD side is figuring out the rather confusing motherboard chipset...
Howdy all.
Been doing some upgrades to older systems. I've found my now rather ancient Athlon 64 x 2 is bottle-necking when paired with a Geforce 280 GTX.
What would be a good CPU to pair with two Geforce 280 GTX cards in SLI... without breaking the bank / that wouldn't be grossly overkill or...
Howdy all,
I'm looking to upgrade my quite dated TV system (a socket 939 Athlon 64 single core) and could use suggestions. The top priority is to have something for smooth playback of HD video over my network, netflix, and hulu. The secondary goal is to have a backup system that could also do...
I have two Geforce 670 GTXs in 2-way SLI in my main rig.
The parts I've listed are all parts I have and want to put to use. I'm back in school after getting laid off and only recently was able to even obtain part time work... so, yeah. Not spending more money I don't have when I have parts...
As the title asks, which is the more powerful graphics solution?
Two "XFX PVT71JYHE9 GeForce 7950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support HDCP ExTreme Edition Video Card" in 2-way SLI mode
or
One "XFX HD-467X-ZDFR Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP...

All the other benchies and games I've run were just fine. Admittedly, it's been awhile since I've looked at any FPS number (at least a month or two).
Tossing ENB mod back in skyrim... it looks like it's effectively halving the FPS. bleargh.
been keeping vsync on since I've heard of some weirdness occurring if it's disabled. As for mods... that's one of the reasons I like games like Skyrim so much. With Oblivion, you could make the game entirely different. People are still making new stuff for Oblivion.
K. Deleted local content and .INI files. Redownloaded and installed. I've only tossed on a few mods, listed below. I may have discovered one of the big variables: disabling the anistropic filtering entirely in the game and doing it via the NVIDIA control panel. Hanging in the 40-60 FPS range...
Hey all,
I started playing Skyrim again recently and added the SoSENB to it. I play skyrim on my 2560x1440 27" Catleap Yamakasi 2703. I have an old 24" 1920x1200 dell in portrait mode also hooked up / powered on. In NVIDIA control panel, it\'s set to "maximize 3d performance" and SLI is...
So, I'm trying to get a torrent tracker to see me / be connectable / be able to upload. I've looked at guides on the site I torrent from. At the guides on other sites. I've set up utorrent to be open on a non-randomizing port in the 50,000s. Windows 8 firewall has all ports open for utorrent...
