I never actually removed the RAM from the packaging. I opened up the padded mailer and said, "Nope."
I just put everything back in the padded mailer as it was, and then put inside of another cardboard box I had lying around from a previous Newegg order.
Yes, I joined in 2009 to secretly...
Well, I guess I bit into my temptation.
I do cycle my computer a lot since the sleep function in Windows 7 never cooperated with my hardware. Hell, even my monitor backlight is starting to flicker a lot when turning it on. (I think my monitor has at least 60,000 hours.)
I bought a Seasonic...
1) I don't have speakers at work.
2) I read those already. The FAQ specifically doesn't mention anything about including an RMA notice inside the packaging when returning your items.
I'm returning some memory I bought because I made the mistake of ordering the wrong configuration (4x4 GB instead of 2x8 GB) of the same make/model.
I received the memory in a padded mailer with a simple packing list.
For return procedure, should I just place the memory (still unopened)...
I'm currently gathering components for a new build. One thing I had planned to reuse from my existing rig is my PSU.
However, I'm starting to have second thoughts. What's a safe lifespan for a PSU? My current Seasonic PSU was purchased in January 2007. I've never had a problem with it but...
I actually spent most of last night researching various Z97 boards and I ended up settling on the ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark2 for $165 at Newegg.
PSA: Anyone considering a CPU/Mobo upgrade should consider this board right now. You can get both the i5 Devil's Canyon chip and the motherboard for...
So, I just paid for a new i7-4790K. I couldn't pass up the $30 savings currently.
How scary is de-lidding for the first time? I hear that Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra is the best stuff to apply between the IHS and die.
Now, I'm trying to sort through Z97 motherboards and I have no idea where...
That's reassuring.
I think I'd like to OC the Devil's Canyon chip, in which case it would definitely be worth it, but there are varied reports out there. Some reviewers are struggling to hit 4.8 GHz stable on air after Intel claimed you could hit 5 GHz easy. Others, over at XS, have hit 5...
I knew you would highlight this monitor in particular. In sounds great except that it's plagued by a lot of defects, according to reviews:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824136126
Hence my little disclaimer.
Unfortunately I have yet to find a monitor with the trifecta:
1) 24"+ with 1080p/1200p
2) 8-/10-bit IPS or VA for viewing angles/good color
3) Little or no input lag
If you know of a monitor with those qualifications AND don't have significant manufacturing defects, please let me know...
I didn't know that. I thought they were omitted entirely.
I'm sticking with my mouse and keyboard (Logitech G5/G15). My PSU is a Seasonic S12 Energy Plus 650W (overkill at the time, but I wanted to be safe and have future proofing).
I'll probably need a new CPU cooler to replace my Zalman...
Yes. I believe the E6300 was a little cheaper at the time (~$180) but there was enough performance delta to warrant the marginal cost increase.
Over the years I had considered doing a small upgrade to something like a Q6600, but I could never find it for the right price.
I know Photoshop is...
My Newegg invoice from January 2007 says the CPU was $223. The only reason I didn't opt for the E6600 with 4 MB L2 cache was because it was around $350 IIRC.
I have a full-time job, and enough savings to be able to afford to splurge a little bit. I would never spend more than $400 on a CPU...
Are you referring to GPUs? If so, it depends on what's available or soon to be available (in the case of Maxwell). I usually like to go for value, in which case a mid-to-high end (but not top end) GPU will be suitable (<$400).
Typically, how do iGPUs and discrete GPUs interact with each...
Hi, guys. I'm looking for some advice.
I've been following the Broadwell debacle for months with the news of its release changing all the time.
I'm sitting on an old computer. Really old! I built my computer in January 2007. I have a Conroe/Allendale E6400 and GeForce 450 GTS (lifetime...
