    Any advantage going from OC SB i5 to IB i5?

    I'm actually building it for my brother, and giving him my old board (I've since moved to m-ITX, this board is full ATX). I'm at school, about 12 hours away, so I can't really loan him my CPU to update the bios, and we don't have any other 1155 systems.

    Any advantage going from OC SB i5 to IB i5?

    Thanks for the replies, I was sorta guessing that it wouldn't be much of an upgrade. I can however, think of one other reason to swap with my friend: they will be using an older board (z68) and I think those boards need a BIOS update to use IB, right? They will not have access to an SB processor...

    Any advantage going from OC SB i5 to IB i5?

    I'm building a gaming rig for a friend, and they already have an nice 1155 board (sans CPU). I also have an 1155 board in my machine, and I'm wondering if I would see any speed increase (games, windows, CPU folding, etc.) if I buy myself an i5-3570k and sell them my 2500k (to save them some $$...

    Wii U Hardware Investigation

    Because of the games? How many games that actually matter (eg., AAA titles that are commonly played by the general public) are PC only? Or maybe you meant the other way around? I cannot think of a better reason NOT to use consoles than their horrid input devices, it's why I only game on PC where...

    External SAS Enclosure

    I totally failed on the RAID level, meant to say 1 (mirroring). 2 backup drives in RAID 0...well that'd be quite the paradox. OP edited to reflect the proper level. Thanks for the reply, that's kind of the conclusion I came to...they seem to start at $250+. PM sent about the drives. Good find...

    External SAS Enclosure

    I found a great deal on some Seagate constellation 2TB hard drives, but only after the fact did I realize that they are SAS drives. After doing some research, I discovered that SAS drives are incompatible with SATA contollers, so I'll need something special for these. I got them with the...

    Connection Dropping Intermittantly

    While I am not sure as to other students experiences, I do have a laptop that has the same issues. I also have an Android phone, but it seemed to do alright. I really haven't tried other areas on campus, though I suppose I rather ought to. I have in fact done this, and pretty much got in...

    Connection Dropping Intermittantly

    Hi all, I am having a very odd issue and thought perhaps the community might have some ideas. I am currently living at school, and of course using their wireless. It's a relatively large school, so they have all the usual network hoops to jump though (eg, several networks, one only for initial...

    1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

    Haven't tried doing anything like that yet, but I'm pretty sure what's happening with that setup is that windows media center is transcoding your .mkv on-the-fly to (most likely) .wmv. While something like that negates the need to convert videos in the first place, I am avoiding needing a...

    1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

    The MediaEspresso Xbox format is .wmv (wmv 9) @ 1280x720 with wma audio. It defaults to around 8mbs (which produces a 3x bigger then original file :o), but by using a custom profile I can get it down to 3mbs, which is close to the original bitrate of 2200kbs. So while the Xbox can play 5.1 with...

    1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

    Finally found a relatively decent solution. Went and got the free trial of Cyberlink MediaEspresso 6.5, and converted the video with that, using the Xbox preset. Came out flawless, smooth, great quality, good audio. Not sure yet if it's only stereo or if it kept the 5.1 surround, but at this...

    1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

    Thanks guys. It looks like I've already found all of the few possible ways to do this, and none are optimal. I did something similar to this, as laid out here. I ended up with horrendously out of sync audio, see my above posts. I may try again, but I don't know of anything I could've done...

    1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

    Currently, AVS Video Converter. I also tried Xilisoft, but it created blank videos and all sorts of issues. I've heard good things about Handbrake, I may try that and see what I can get. And, of course, when I followed the guide I used whatever they specified. :)

    1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

    The computer was actually where I noticed the delay (I tested it before uploading it the server and streaming it). I don't know if it would be any different streamed to the 360, but I wouldn't think so. On an unrelated note, anyone know how to add a subtitle file to a video? I have a .src file...

    1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

    Interestingly enough, I actually found and followed that exact same guide. The video quality was top-notch, but the audio was horribly out of sync (5 seconds behind the video). I'm not sure if I did something wrong (I certainly followed the instructions correctly, but several of the tools used...

    1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

    Hi all, I've recently made my first foray into home media with a FreeNAS server and an Xbox 360, and I'm still new at the whole media formats thing. I have a very high quality (2200kbs) 1920 x 1080 .mkv movie with full 5.1 AC3 audio. Which is great, and it plays beautifully...on my laptop. The...

    Scratch Build: The Ultimate Computer Desk

    Just finished reading this thread, nothing short of breathtaking! You do beautiful work, the time and effort you put in really shows! Almost makes me wanna do something like this, too bad dorm rooms are slightly space-constrained.. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing the finished...

    The eternal Antec 380 EarthWatts question

    Thanks for the hands on info, I look forward to trying it out! Thanks, I haven't gotten a chance to test mine but I'm thinking it'll be fine. Got all my parts together, only to find that my cooler (Zalman CNPS11X Extreme) will not fit my motherboard. Ordered a CM 212 EVO, but now I gotta wait...

    Ah. Hadn't noticed that before, but I see what you mean. They flattened the tubes, and I dare say it looks pretty durn snazzy.

    Cooling a Bitfenix Prodigy

    After thinking about it, and finding a few builds using the exact same case and mobo (to guarantee fit), I decided to go with the CM 212+ EVO. It won't cool as well as an H60/80, but I'm really price constrained at this point. Thanks for the help, I will most definitely be going the full water...

    I've been out of the game for years... Please help rate my "enthusist" build!

    Link does not work. (or at least unless I'm missing something). Try using PC Part Picker

    Cooling a Bitfenix Prodigy

    I believe a Hyper 212 would fit, as the Zalman nearly fits, but the heat pipes are a tiny bit too wide. The 212 looks like it is significantly narrower, as far as the heat pipes go. It would appear that an H60 best fits my needs, but might be a bit small. I'm not adverse to downclocking a bit...

    Cooling a Bitfenix Prodigy

    Hi all, I'm in the process of building a gaming rig in a Prodigy, and I've run in to a bit of a snag. current specs are: ASUS P8Z77-I ITX MB i5-2500k @ 4.5GHz/1.34 volts HD 6850 @ 925/1100 MHz, stock volts 8GB DDR3 1600, G'Skill Ripjaws-X 1 x WD green 1.5TB 2 x Intel 320 series 80GB SSD, RAID...

    The eternal Antec 380 EarthWatts question

    I checked out the Corsair, looks good....but I did a bit of snooping, and the ODM is CWT, who does not seem to be quite on par with Delta & Seasonic. I also have read in a few places that the Corsair is a bit overrated, and the Antec may be slightly underrated. Since all my parts came today...

    The eternal Antec 380 EarthWatts question

    Hmm....now I'm beginning to have second thoughts. I did take a look at the NEO ECO 520, but its 10mm longer then I want. The EarthWatts 430 appears to be now defunct (as far as newegg is concerned at any rate), but the 500 doesn't look too bad (and it's the same size as well). I also saw the...

    The eternal Antec 380 EarthWatts question

    Thanks for the input lehtv, I think I'll see what I can get on stock volts (better for the chip anyways), not much that I do is even close to CPU bound. I can always crank it up a little for the infrequent bout of video transcoding anyhow. The GPU is most likely gonna stay the way it is though...

    The eternal Antec 380 EarthWatts question

    Hi all, I am in the process of changing my rig over to ITX from ATX (HAF 932 -> Bitfenix Prodigy) My question is thus: since my old PSU (Antec 750w Gamer) is far too long for the new case, I have an Antec 380 in the mail. I've done a bit of research, but I am getting mixed signals on how...

    Lockware Systems.....just new, or scary?

    I was going to, they were my first choice (on account of their free shipping and general legit-lookingness), but the site currently lists a wait of 5-8 weeks before they are in stock. 'Twas a sad day indeed. I'm just hoping they are for real, as they have yet to give me a tracking #.

    Lockware Systems.....just new, or scary?

    Hi all, I recently bought a Bitfenix Prodigy from Lockware Systems, and was wondering if anyone has had dealings with them in the past and if so, what your experience has been? I've looked on the 'net, but haven't seen much...I believe they are a very new company and don't have much press...
