Lately I've been toying with the idea of getting a used PS3 and wanted to get some feedback whether what I'm looking to do is actually doable of if I'm chasing unicorns and wasting my time...
My main motivation for all this is to get Rock Band (my group of friends still bust this one out at...
I like the Sony 'compact' phones but doesn't the 810 eat through batteries and have overheating issues? Maybe the implementation in this phone is better than the phones reviewed on this site, but I got the impression that the 801/810 era is a shit year for SoCs where they may have gained a bit...

Taller by 0.6mm = same in my books, but the 0.3" difference in screen size is definitely noticeable. My brothers have the 5 and in their cases (and my phone in a case) they are the same height, which is the only dimension that...
You must've also skipped over the part about bezels and overall height. My S4mini is the same height as the the iphone 5 generation (same as SE?) and fits a 4.3" screen where the ip5 only gives you 4". And my s4m has a big top bezel and average bottom bezel.
The older iphones and the current SE...
Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some input on updating my dying S4mini. I'm pretty tech savvy but don't really have time to keep up with all the different SoCs being released, much less individual phones.
I'm only looking at small-ish phones (mine is 125mm tall) that nobody seems to release...
Like the title says, I'm looking for a GTX760-caliber card that has its power connectors anywhere other than the top edge of the card and is otherwise less than 130mm tall. Does anyone know of a company that makes one?
Failing that, are there any other cards in the $200-300 range that do, while...
Anyone know of any utility/app for Win7 that can log disk activity? What I want to do is find out how much time in a typical usage session the disk is idle vs. busy.
I'm looking to upgrade the SSD in my laptop (currently a Corsair F120), but do not want to incur a power usage hit with the...
Thanks for the input, though it never has problems powering up/POSTing which is the high load situation you describe. I have a Watt-meter and while I haven't tested this system's draw, based on the draw of my 2 systems, I'd guess it idles at around 65-85W and peaks between 150 and 200W, so 380W...
How are your vid card temps? Try monitoring them in something like GPU-z or RivaTuner. Visual artifacting is pretty often caused by overheating video cards.
Hello all. A computer I built for a friend is acting up intermittently (but often enough to be bothersome). The obvious symptoms are background app/process crashes usually right after boot, and BSODs (esp while shutting down - the "Windows is Shutting Down" screen). Basically it's a lottery...
Anyone hear anything about when the 1gb 4870s will do a real launch? Also, I've seen the ones on a few sites like ncix and directcanada, but they're a complete and total ripoff. I hope they plan to readjust their prices when they get released.
I wouldn't either. 10-15% is as much premium as I'm willing to pay right now. But if they keep the prices up I may just have to cave. I've already had an otherwise complete system collecting dust for the last 2 or 3 weeks and my patience is wearing thin.
Thanks for the links, dennilfloss. I didn't notice that directcanada put up some 1gb cards, it seems that they're getting closer to release! If only they didn't carry a $100 premium over the cheapest 512 version...
With a GTX260 for only $240 after rebate, I'm almost tempted pick one up rather...
Thanks for the follow-up! I think I read the same review a few months (?) ago about the 9800GX2, and was wondering if there have been any recent developments with their 200 series and the die-shrunk 9800... I'm baffled as to why this kind of stuff gets no mention in almost every review I read-...
Has anyone heard any updates on AMD's PowerXpress for desktops? I was hoping they'd mention it in their 48x0 release, but no such luck...
On the other side of the fence, does anyone have any experience with nVidia's Hybrid Power? Does it actually work (and the fan on the card turns off) and is...
