  1. Question Can image burn happen in LED displays?

    My last monitor was a Samsung C32HG70, a 32" 1440P 144Hz VA panel. I got it back in 2018 or so, so I had already used it with Windows 10 for 2-3 years before I upgraded to Windows 11. Since Windows 11 moved the Start Menu to the center, I noticed that the old Windows 10 Start Menu icon was...
  2. Question Windows 11 installation without Microsoft account

    If you are using 11 Pro, then just use the Domain Join option: If you are using 11 Home, then your best option (aside from a 3rd party utility) would be to install 10 using a Local Account, and then upgrade to 11. When you upgrade, the local account is preserved.
  3. Question is my PSU Going Bad HP Z230 Tower

    HP made multiple versions of the Z230. How old is yours, and what form factor (Small Form Factor or Mini-ATX)? Is the power supply fan the only exhaust fan for your whole system?
  4. Breathing new life into an "old" soundcard. Creative X-Fi Titanium HD

    Here I have my trusty old X-Fi Titanium HD. I've owned it for about a decade now. It has been a great card for me that entire time. For a long time, I used it in my main computer. A couple of years ago I swapped from using the X-Fi Titanium HD in my main computer to using a regular X-Fi...
  5. Question Is there really any need for Intel to keep AVX-512 alive now?

    It still gives them something that they can use for marketing since AMD CPUs don't have it.
  6. Question RTX 3080

    I'm still waiting for reviews that include performance numbers from the games that I actually care about, as well as comparisons against cards that are more than 1-2 generations old.
  7. Question nVidia kills off SLI

    I used SLI and Crossfire many times in the past. Shame to see it go away. DX12 multi-GPU is BS. Everyone knew from the moment they announced it that hardly any game developers would bother with it. Now you have $700-1000 cards (3080) that don't even come with an SLI/NVlink connector anymore...
  8. bee noise in psu

    When was the last time you dusted the unit out? Are you able to determine if the noise is coming from the fan, or something else?
  9. AVC Fans - Why are these fans so different?

    I have this one AVC Fan, model number DA12025B12L that has been a VERY reliable fan for me over the years. I recently had a chance to buy a pack of fans with the same model number for fairly cheap. I like to have spare fans on-hand so I bought them. When they arrived, I was surprised to see...
  10. CPU-Z v1.74 - MultiThread CPU Benchmark

    5820K @ 4.5Ghz, which is what I run daily
  11. Where did my Intel HD graphics go?

    With my 2500k and Z68 board, the onboard GPU also has to be set as the primary display adapter or it is automatically disabled. I use my onboard to handle some secondary displays for 2D purposes. Only downside of having your onboard as primary is that your BIOS and startup info will come up on...
  12. PSU voltage rails

    It looks like you have a 6 pin and an 8-pin coming from each of your 3rd and 4th rails. Each rail is good for 30 amps. Yeah, you can spread the load across multiple rails without issue. You should be fine.
  13. 6 Cores or SkyLake?

    Existing games are limited to a great extent by the way DirectX 11 works and how many games are coded. Regardless of how many cores you have, a great deal of processing is still done on a single core. In many cases it is mostly secondary tasks that are run on the additional cores. You are...
  14. Microsoft Update without Internet Explorer?

    Great idea! Turning auto-updates on or off has nothing to do with whether it's using Windows Update or Microsoft Update. It will simply auto-update patches for windows only. Besides, when I'm trying to get a build done quick, I don't have time to let auto updates do their thing. I had...
  15. Microsoft Update without Internet Explorer?

    I'll give that a shot, although this is a fresh install of Win7, unless IE comes with addons by default, there shouldn't be any.
  16. Microsoft Update without Internet Explorer?

    I just finished a new build (Windows 7 64-bit) and everything is working great except for some reason whenever I open internet explorer, it automatically crashes, tries to recover by closing and opening a new tab, crashes again, and does this over and over again until I force quit IE. That in...
  17. the NBC News website went full retard

    This new NBCnews design is like a bad joke. Funny thing is they made sure not to include any sort of feedback link. I doubt that was an accident.
  18. am I special because I've never gotten into an accident?

    Neither have I. But as a fellow California resident, I think we have it pretty lucky compared to many. We don't ever really have to deal with snow or ice on the roads, at least not to the degree that folks in other parts of the country do. It's easy to avoid accidents during the winter when...
  19. do you eat at Chipotle?

    I don't know about their Burritos, as I don't particularly care for burritos. Their steak tacos are actually really good, it's just that they are no bigger than a taco you would get from somewhere like Taco Bell or Jack in the Box. Only difference is at Chipotle they charge you 5x the price...
  20. BIG Culprit in High Energy Bills!!!!

    Here in California, under PG&E we often have the majority of our usage billed as high as $.50/kWh. 4-digit power bills are not unheard of. Then again we're not exactly the most efficient users. Some of us can actually put our big power-supplies to use. That was when I was...
  21. do you eat at Chipotle?

    I tend to get turned off by their small portions and expensive prices. I love their steak tacos but when I'm done it feels like I just ate an hors d'œuvre or something and I'm still hungry for lunch.
  22. New PC for Rome 2 advice.

    I'm also eagerly awaiting this game. Those specifications look pretty much useless to me. Says Vista/7/8, but then lists a separate lower RAM requirement for XP? Says it requires a Core i5 - but the Core i5 comes in both dual and quad-core variants. If a dual-core i5 is enough, then a...
  23. How many GPU?

    No options for people with 3 or 4 slower/older GPUs. My 2nd computer is running 2x 4870x2 (4 GPUs) which combined still outperform a single GTX680. I know a friend still running 3 Radeon 5870s too.
  24. How often do you guys replace/upgrade your PSU?

    I'm running an Antec Truepower Quattro 1000w from ~2008 or so. I originally got it because I needed something to power my 2x 4870x2s in quad Crossfire. My thoughts are that if it could power that, then it should be able to power just about anything. I'm using Stereo amplifiers from the...
  25. GTX 680 can be flashed to a 770

    I wonder what the chances are of a 680 and a 770 being SLI compatible, without bios flashing one to effectively become the other.
  26. How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

    I'm running 2x GTX680 in SLI and a 2500K @ 5Ghz, I'd be surprised if the PS4 is 1/3rd as fast.
  27. Anyone Have Experience With Smart Response And A Large Cache?

    No one was talking about needing to move folders with SRT. OP started by stating that was something he didn't want his father to have to deal with. Others commented to say that the hassle of moving files around (with a traditional SSD+HDD setup, not SRT) is no big deal. I obviously disagree.
  28. Anyone Have Experience With Smart Response And A Large Cache?

    So basically, take two of the folders he is most likely to use in a real-world scenario and make it so they no longer benefit from the SSD :rolleyes: And you are assuming those two folders represent the only folders on the system that will eventually contain significant amounts of data, which...
  29. Anyone Have Experience With Smart Response And A Large Cache?

    I run 2 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black drives in Raid:0, using half of my 128GB Samsung 840 Pro as cache and half for a few dedicated apps. SRT works very well. Though I would recommend enhanced mode instead of maximized for the best reliability. The main disadvantage compared to an SSD is...
  30. Adding RAM to aging computer; worth it?

    I guess you missed the post a few above yours that has a PDF of the actual motherboard... No SATA ;) And the components in this computer appear to be more ~2003 vintage than 2005.
  31. Adding RAM to aging computer; worth it?

    The Celeron brand has been very widely used. The celeron in your dad's computer is based on the Northwood Pentium 4 architecture from ~10+ years ago. A newer Celeron based on the Core architecture would run circles around it, even at the same clock-speed. It should still be worth it to...
  32. AMD announces Never Settle Reloaded bundle

    This has become as much of a liability as anything for someone looking to purchase a new Videocard. That is because, let's say you purchase the card, and a month later it dies. You would expect to get a full refund, right? Not if you used any of the bundled games.... your card would then be...
  33. Geforce Experience open beta

    I don't like that it says it has a target of 40fps and doesn't take SLI into account. As someone who runs SLI with a 120hz monitor 40hz is not my idea of an ideal "Experience".
  34. GeForce Titan coming end of February

    So if I'm currently running GTX680 SLI, then it sounds like this won't be an upgrade. I think it's also a bit funny that I live only about an hour from Nvidia HQ but have to go to random Swedish news sites to read about rumors. I'm probably going to stick with my current plan and wait until...
  35. 8000 series is a bust, should I skip out?

    The mobile GPU in my old laptop was a Mobility Radeon 9200, which was actually a mobile variant of the Desktop Radeon 8500 (DirectX 8.1 era part). The fact that they had already re-used the 9xxx branding at that time didn't stop them from introducing the 9700 pro and later the 9800 pro, two of...
  36. nvidia 310.90 drivers released

    Funny thing is that I installed these and my main monitor (Samsung S27A950D) will no longer work over displayport. I tried everything I could think of including leaving it as the only display connected, and it still wouldn't work. Luckly in my case I was only using DisplayPort because I...
  37. How does lucidvirtue mvp works?

    There is a setting you need to enable in the Bios. If this setting isn't enabled and you have a discreet GPU, the onboard graphics are disabled automatically. Alternatively you can set the onboard graphics as primary. Your boot info, etc will show up on that monitor instead if you do that but...
  38. Intel SRT

    Ignoring caching, just the difference in performance between the 32GB mSATA drive and the 256GB Samsung would be substantial. The 32GB mSATA drive wouldn't be anywhere near 90% of the performance of the 256GB Samsung even if you were using them both directly, so of course that won't be the case...
  39. Intel SRT

    This is how SRT works once configured and enabled for the first time: You access a block of data for the first time from your mechanical Hard Drive, at which point it is also copied into cache. The next time you access that same block, it will be accessed from cache instead. As you access...
  40. Intel SRT

    Yes you can use anything above 64GB directly. You won't actually be able to use SRT unless you re-install onto your mechanical drive. The speed of anything that is cached by SRT does come very close to being on the SSD directly. It is a very good caching technology.
