    Corsair RAM RMA

    I think the companies say that modules from different kits even with the same specs still shouldn't be combined. I think Corsair will tell you that, too. I am skeptical that is true but I'm not going to personally test my doubts in this case. Confirming all the modules match enough to make a kit...

    misthreaded motherboard screws

    I did unscrew everything. Though, still sharing your ideas for fixing this in case anybody else is looking for more ideas is ok, of course. Below is a quote of when I stated I fixed it in case anybody missed it. That worked for me but I didn't have a wide variety of tools to work with. The...

    Corsair RAM RMA

    One of the modules in my 16GB quad channel Vengeance kit went bad. I can't remember if I asked Corsair if I had to or not but I did RMA the whole kit. Otherwise there was no guarantee a single replacement module would match the timings of my other modules well enough that I'd still be able to...

    misthreaded motherboard screws

    Cold shrinks. I tried that, too, with needle nose pliers. Even with teeth gripping the hexagons the pliers didn't stop the standoffs from spinning. I did this but I didn't have a drill that was as small as you recommended. Keeping the drill bit centered on the back of the standoff was a...

    misthreaded motherboard screws

    I'll think this may work- drilling out the brass standoffs from the backside of the motherboard tray. Drilling may strip the threads in the holes of the motherboard tray for the standoffs but I may be able to find some little nuts and lock washers to secure new standoffs if I want to keep using...

    misthreaded motherboard screws

    Some chuckle head (not me!) used screws with the wrong thread to fasten a motherboard to the brass standoffs that are fastened to a steel case. I suspect a powered screw driver was used, too. D: If I try to remove the screws from the motherboard they and the brass standoffs just spin together...

    Do I need to load Intels RST

    Skibo2012, Back when this caching feature was new there was something about it that confused me for a while. It was Intel's use of the acronyms IRST and ISRT. Intel Rapid Storage Technology is what we were discussing in this thread and it will help improve the performance of your computer's...

    Do I need to load Intels RST

    Hi Skibo2012, You didn't mention what motherboard you have. Though, maybe that doesn't matter so much. For my ASUS motherboard ASUS has a recommended version of IRST for certain versions of BIOS. Other motherboard manufacturer's probably do something similar- pairing a version of IRST with a...

    I want to add to the cutout in the motherboard tray.

    Right, that's what I expected and everything seems to be working OK. :) Oh, I forgot to mention that the True Spirit 140 was a little less heavy compared to similar coolers. Sometimes I take my computer to a LAN party or something. I don't want to worry about a deep pot-hole jarring my car...

    New Seasonic X650

    I thought my case was of fairly good quality but maybe it isn't. I have a Lian Li PC-7FN. I don't remember there being any rubber grommets in the box that the case came in except there are grommets for the cutouts that would be used to route liquid cooling tubes from inside to the outside. Hehe...

    I want to add to the cutout in the motherboard tray.

    The following is an update in case anybody is interested. I bought a Thermalright True Spirit 140. There were some reviews that mentioned how it was quiet and still cooled well with some overclocking. After installing it I still think the cooler is OK but there were some things about it that...

    New Seasonic X650

    I recently installed a new Seasonic PSU that has the ribbon style power cables. There was one issue that I noticed. The somewhat sharp edges of the interior of the case where the metal was cut can chew away at the plastic, or rubber or whatever the stuff is that was used to cover the wires for...

    3 x VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ's: One of These Drives is Not Like the Others.

    You can zoom-in on a lot of pictures in advertisements from sellers to read what's printed on the label of a drive. I've seen firmware versions printed on drive labels but unfortunately it looks like WD doesn't print the firmware version on the labels of WD5000HHTZ. If the pictures are important...

    3 x VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ's: One of These Drives is Not Like the Others.

    BrightCandle: "I let WD know and they actually replaced both drives ... under their raid swap program and gave me two picked next to each other in the production line ..." That's interesting. I didn't know WD would do that. I think the slowpoke that I purchased wasn't a left over from cherry...

    What's a good powerline network adapter? [see 3rd post]

    In case anybody is interested Newegg is selling a pair of the ZyXEL PLA407's for $40 right now. You need to use promo code EMCNJNB67. About a week ago I bought a pair from a seller on Amazon for $52 and I'm kinda annoyed with myself right now. Though what I paid isn't so bad compared to Newegg's...

    3 x VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ's: One of These Drives is Not Like the Others.

    Thanks for you replies. I expect that WD will tell me something like what BFG10K stated. I sent their customer support a message about this, too. However, I posted about this here because sometimes companies aren't as helpful and quick at figuring out what's going on. Yes, this one drive was...

    3 x VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ's: One of These Drives is Not Like the Others.

    Hello, I recently acquired three VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ drives. Each one has firmware 04.06A00. I downloaded and installed a disk benchmarking program, CrystalDiskMark 3.0.2 x64. I'm sure there are other programs that do more things but I doubt I would know what I was looking at if I used...

    AHCI Vs. RAID

    andrewboon, What are you doing with the SSD, now? Are you using it as a cache for the hard drive or do you have Windows installed on it and you're using the hard drive as a slower kind of storage? Or, is Windows installed on the slower hard drive? Are you using the SSD as just a backup drive...

    What's a good powerline network adapter? [see 3rd post]

    When I bought the TPL-307E2KIT I think I used PayPal and they have something for paying return shipping right now so I guess if I can't refuse delivery then maybe PayPal will pay for the return shipping. I bought a ZyXEL PLA-407 two adapter startup kit from Amazon for $52. I think there was a...

    What's a good powerline network adapter? [see 3rd post]

    Ok, I finally figured out that HomePlug AV means the adapter is compliant with IEEE 1901. I was reading the specs for a lot of the powerline network adapters (technically I guess they are bridges?) and not seeing IEEE 1901. I thought that maybe that standard wasn't commonly supported yet but...

    What's a good powerline network adapter? [see 3rd post]

    Hi JoeMcJoe, Earlier I was researching some of the Zyxel products- the PLA407 and PLA401v3. The user manual for one (or both?) of those specifically mentions that the device has a chip that helps filter out disruptive frequencies to improve the connection and there was no mention of other...

    I want to add to the cutout in the motherboard tray.

    I want to be able to remove a non-pushpin type heatsink for whatever reason and put it back on or be able to put on a different one without needing to take the motherboard out of the case. No, I don't have plans to do that frequently. Unfortunately to modify the tray I need to take out the...

    What's a good powerline network adapter? [see 3rd post]

    I think I've used some FCC databases a couple times but I doubt they would keep track of a product's compatibility with the HomePlug standard. [leaves AnandTech forums, does some Googling, comes back] Hehe, which FCC database? I tried searching for TPL-307E here but I didn't find anything. I...

    WD Velociraptor still worth the premium price?

    Hi Upgr8er, I could be wrong but I think the WD3000HLFS and WD3000BLFS are the same drive but the BLFS doesn't come with the IcePack (the big black heat spreader thing that adapts the connectors and mount points of the 2.5" VR drive to a 3.5" drive bay and helps cool the drive) and the HLFS...

    I want to add to the cutout in the motherboard tray.

    Eureka, you mean something like this [link to Home Depot], correct? I'm leaning toward Kenmitch's suggestion to use a drill. First I would make an indentation at the center with a point of the spot I want to drill out to help keep the drill bit centered. However, I recently watched a video on...

    What kind of antenna connectors are on this WiFi adapter?

I contacted a couple other people who work on laptops and have seen some different antenna connectors. They told me they weren't sure...

    What's a good powerline network adapter? [see 3rd post]

    In case anybody is wondering.. I contacted the TRENDnet Helpdesk and was told the chip set in the TPL-307E is the Atheros AR6405. After researching the product I'm not sure I want it. Looks like the QoS feature isn't configurable and I may not be able to switch it off. Plus I can't tell if the...

    WD Velociraptor still worth the premium price?

    New Seasonic X650

    Yup. I didn't see that earlier on my new power supply. I opened my computer's case and looked. There is a tiny little superscript 3 at the end of the model number. Though the older and newer SS-650KM both say Acticve PFC3 after the model number. The 3 on the end of PFC3 kind of increases the...

    Are cotton buds safe to use?

    I've always been told to never use a vacuum cleaner because the moving parts in a vacuum can actually generate static electricity. Colliding particles as they are being sucked up can do the same. Though, apparently you two don't have that problem with your vacuums. I've heard stories about...
