I purchased a Sandisk 240 GB SSD when Amazon had it for a good price at the end of August. I knew when I bought it about the TRIM issues but after reading the TT article I felt that Sandisk was going to release the updated firmware soon. I waited a few weeks and listened to the chirps of...
That's a good price on the M4. If you want to get it you better jump on it soon because the Amazon price will probably go back up now. Buy.com was selling them for $159.99 - $10 for a new account. I snagged one earlier at Buy.com for $149.99 shipped + FatWallet cashback but they are all sold out...
Yea, kinda ironic that their morality or lack thereof is always a one way street. When the shoe is on the other foot the story always twists and turns to how "da man", "da system" or "big corporations" screwed them over and how they should've been done right rather than wronged.
The fact that you are on here asking what to do should give you the answer.
In case it's still not obvious on what you should do, contact Newegg to offer to send it back to them.
Personally, once a drive starts acting up, even if corrected, then I never will fully trust it again. Unless, you can narrow it down to an anomaly or cable issue, etc. If you got a RMA number, then I'd send it back, IMHO. Of course, you'll probably end up with a refurb drive.
Well, hopefully the OCZ will work great for you, since you ended up buying it. Unfortunately, for all of the reasons mentioned above between reliability issues and inconsistent housekeeping performance keeps me away from OCZ. I ended up buying 3 of the Kingston drives mentioned in your original...
Personally, it depends on what you need from your mobile CPU. Your essentially comparing a 3rd gen i5 dual core vs 2nd gen i7 quad core, which is not a straight up comparison IMHO. If the onboard GPU graphics is important then the 3rd gen i5 is better. If raw CPU power is more important then the...
I gave in and bought 3 of them for two desktops and one laptop. Now I need at least a 240GB SSD for the final laptop. Hopefully, someone will put a Kingston HyperX on sale soon.
I'm too lazy to look up which model is what but one model is 7mm tall and another is the standard 9.5mm and the third one is a kit with software, cable, etc.
The drive itself is the same.
A good router for a fair price. I've bought several of these over the past few years and used them for a few relatives and myself. They've been reliable and definitely worth the money.
That's about all they're good for. There are some rough reviews on Newegg for this drive. If the 512GB M4 or 830 hits sub $300 then I'm all over it. Until then, I'll have to wait it out.
Don't worry about the 4-pin issue.
I'm using the motherboard you linked in my wife's recent build with an i5-2400 overclocked 4-bins. It has been rock solid over the past two weeks and she is liking it.
I'm using the Z77X-D3H (next step up) and it is a 4-pin powered board as well. I fretted...
Depends on what you think stable is?
I'd check out this sticky and try the tests in there. It won't find those annoying idle instability problems.

This is my experience using both on an i7-2600k.
1) Yes the Zalman spinning at 1350 RPM cools as well as the Hyper EVO at full speed (1950 RPM). If you don't use the resistor the Zalman's fan spins up to around 1850, then the Zalman cools better than the Hyper EVO.
2) The Zalman with the...
I like it a lot and I'm overly sensitive to high speed and loud fans on my PC. I have my desktop PC sitting on my desk near my right ear and the Zalman is fairly quiet with the resistor attached. I can notice the fan at full RPM's with the resistor (1350 RPM). But it's the highest spinning fan...
That was hard to read but I'll try to answer.
I own both the Hyper 212 EVO and the Zalman CNPS10X Performa. The Zalman is bigger than the Hyper.
On my i7-2600k The Zalman with the fan resistor attached (1350 RPM) is quieter and performs about the same as the Hyper at full speed (1850 RPM)...
I think the (2x USB 3.0) is a no-go at $150 or probably $200.
If you can live with one USB 3.0 header, then this motherboard has eSATA, power & CMOS button on motherboard with LED, PCI-E x16 slots (x16/x8). You can catch it with free shipping if you aren't in a hurry...
Most will tell you that if you want bang-for-the-buck to go with ASRock.
Between the two you have listed, usually you'll get more bang-for-the-buck with Gigabyte than Asus.
