I'm in love with my Brother. . . DCP-L2540DW

I'm the same way, no skimping on batteries and power in general. Get's to be some expensive peripheral casualties when they go sideways. Worst case basis with a laser printer is new drum and toner cartridge. Nope, no chips. Seems Brother isn't into playing those games and they have decent...

If you're not looking to get any certifications, the Scott Mueller book is pretty good but there's a newer (22nd Edition) out that includes newer hardware up through Haswell it looks like. http://www.quepublishing.com/store/upgrading-and-repairing-pcs-9780134057743 The CompTIA books are more...

I'm in love with my Brother. . . DCP-L2540DW

I agree, it's a great printer. I've had this model for about 6 months and no issues whatsoever. It's printing @ our house via Windows 7, 8.1, Android and Linux Mint 17.3 wirelessly. The Android printing suffers from the availability of at least a half dozen different Brother print apps and a...

TAS-member thread for December 2008: A race in WCG

Just wanted to drop by and give you guys the final updated stats spreadsheet. It was a great race! Not because HardOCP won but because we had a good time, got to trade a little banter with another fine team and had the opportunity to compete with Team AnandTech. I was very impressed with...

Thanks for the detailed stats update Peter. Here is the updated stats spreadsheet. Life would be much easier if Rapidshare would overwrite a file with the same name. Oh well. I'll backtrack tomorrow morning and update all the old links to point to this one. But I wanted to get this up tonight.

Thanks for the info. FAAH does too. I'm trying some HPF2 as well as the HCC to see how they do. RICE stinks on Linux though. It claims higher and scores lower than my other 2 quads running it.

Now THAT'S funny! Not to mention pretty appropo as I'm sitting here waiting on a CEP core to finish so I can take a system down and do a 64 bit Linux install and get it back to racing. 3 hours left to go. It's like watching paint dry.

The xigmatek 1283s as well as an Enzotech Ultra-x both fit the UD3P, so no reason it shouldn't fit the R as well.

Good Utility software that monitors CPU temp.

Another vote for Realtemp. I use it on 3 systems crunching WCG 7x24 and it helps me keep an eye on temps while being very lightweight on resources.
