    Blinking blue power light and dead screen... could it be a dead CCFL? (NEC 20WMGX2)

    I've got a NEC 20WMGX2 here, and I hate to throw it in the trash as it's a pretty nice monitor even now. It's about 11 years old now and surely has a LOT of hours as it was my primary monitor for many years, then got handed down since it was still going strong... When I plug it in, the power...

    Is anyone using software cooling (i.e. speedfan) on your skylake board, and which?

    If anyone has a software cooling set up working on your Skylake (LGA1151) motherboard, I would be interested to know which board you bought so I can consider it for my next build. Meaning you can adjust the fan speed in the OS... using either Speedfan or some other software... and it adjusts the...

    SSD "Free Space" performance question...

    If I recall it's good practice to maintain a free-space cushion of approximately 10-20% for optimum performance on an SSD. I understand that this free space could come from either an unpartitioned amount or an unused portion of a partitioned volume. But is this cushion number to be based on...

    Instead of emailing 100 people using "BCC", is there a service that emails indiv?

    Theres various ways of doing it. Mailchimp is the easy way, its an e-mail marketing platform. Of course if you use a third party service like mailchimp, they just spoof your email address to make it look like you sent it, of course it came from their servers. That could lead to filtering...

    Optical Vs. Laser Sensor for FPS Games, what's best¿q

    Laser doesn't handle the pick up as well either. When I had a razer laser mouse, it would still track when i picked it up for a brief moment. Doesnt happen with optical, it stops detecting the surface after 1.5-2mm

    How long do your peripherals last?

    I am not surprised that the OP happens to mention Razer when I clicked on this topic. I had a Razer copperhead and the click sensors started malfunctioning after almost a year. Razer provided a new one. I don't know why they don't seem to last. However the microsoft mice I have seem more...

    Want a good laugh? PC Gamers Top 100 of all time list

    An all-time list is hard to make, so I am not critical of the order in which these games are ranked. No one is going to agree on that... However what really concerns me is what games are on/off this list, namely: Total Annihilation isn't even there, a game that was about 10 years ahead of it's...

    Surprising caching effect in Windows. How

    I just observed an odd scenario where Windows had unexpectedly cached some data, I was very surprised and don't know exactly how it worked. Here's what happened: -I viewed (in VLC, a media player) a 3.5GB video file from a USB device, which only has a transfer rate of 25MB/s. -I then closed...

    Haswell to require new Power Supply?

    These PSU's are especially useful for making sure you upgrade at regular intervals. Once they short out all of your components, it removes that worrying question of whether the latest generation chip is a worthy upgrade and helps you pull the trigger. Highly recommended

    What do you need your CPU for?

    This depends. If you are just going to be encoding a large file and come back to it later, then sure it doesn't matter as much. Only a professional is going to fully realize these gains. But consider these scenarios: Lets say you are working on a video project and need to render a preview of...

    Remember when there was a valid reason to upgrade your CPU every 2 years?

    I replaced my core 2 duo e6600 last month, and didn't really need to. Just for kicks I guess. Even though nothing was wrong it seemed like it was about due. So 2007 to 2013. Fact is, there hasn't been any PC games come out I really like that have motivated me to upgrade. It would have to be...

    When will computer games look completely realistic?

    I actually think we are there with Textures and modeling, and potentially animation-- since animation quality is just a function of time spent, and there is really no limit there. The most obvious weak point in my opinion that gives away CG has always been lighting. Direct lighting is pretty...

    Best CPU fan control software?

    wrong!! Speedfan can alter any voltage or PWM of a fan -- IF the sensor chip supports it!!!!!!! The big problem nowadays is so many mobo mfgrs are skimping on what used to be a very common feature -- allowing software to modify the voltage of a 3-pin header. If you get a good board that can...

    Installing X-Fi makes windows not boot. But can still POST.

    I just upgraded my motherboard/cpu from a gigabyte board and C2D to an i7 and Asrock z77 extreme 4. So essentially a transplant of the motherboard/cpu/ram with everything else the same. Everything has transitioned fine and is working smoothly, except it will not boot windows when I install the...

    [Embarrassing] Any tips for properly using a gaming mouse?

    Generally, if you use claw grip you will tend to use a higher sens, and palm grip a lower sens because you are moving your entire arm. Claw grip tends to use more pivoting around the wrist and less arm movement. Do whatever feels more natural

    Apparently going through 2 switches slows network transfers down considerably

    Also most switches will indicate if the link state is 100mbit or Gbe with the color of the link-lights which makes finding the under performing adapter or cable easy.

    How much do you think piracy is affecting the PC Gaming market?

    Let me just say that even though I have never had trouble finding a torrent of a game, or had problems with the quality of the pirated game, or installation of a pirated game, but it can take some time and effort to do all of that. Steam is so convenient that I don't bother wasting my time with...

    Must haves?

    The Witcher 2 was allright but I thought Dragon Age Origins was a far better game. My main complaint with Witcher was it was very linear, and you have a little wiggle room in DAO.

    EVE!

    Well honestly, to actually get into this game, it's not a huge time sink or grind fest as you imagine. There is a lot to learn initially, but that's just remembering stuff. There is no grinding (if you are grinding missions or w/e, just uninstall the game. It's not fun and there are other games...

    Best and worst CPUs since 1998

    Lot of good ones for 'best' crown: 1) Conroe was the best, there hasn't ever been a chip with that much overclock headroom (even without significant voltage) and longetivity. I could be biased, because i'm still using mine. An e6600 that could go to 3.4ghz on air. 2) Athlon 64 is a close...

    Who here is a huge fan of The Witcher 2?

    The no-hate thread about why Skyrim is bad

    I understand the point of the OP's post. Yes, a game can not be a true the book RPG without making all combat and interaction dependent on the stats of the player. But why would you try to evalulate skyrim in this category when it has an FPS element. Just the fact that the game is in first...

    Silent Ivy Bridge Build

    in my experience, high quality and very low RPM chassis and CPU fans are almost as good as fanless systems. quiet enough to not notice over 3 feet away from the system. If the fans are software controlled and running under 1000 RPM they are hard to hear even and still keep the temps low. also...
