    How to set up a PC gaming / audio streaming setup with sidetone using pro-audio gear?

    Hi, I've never really cared much about PC audio, because I guess I had different priorities. But these days, as a professor and gamer, I find myself streaming a lot, and not for games. And, being stuck at home the whole day, I wouldn't be against updating my audio setup, for both gaming and...

    Question Recommend a high end mid-atx case for this old timer

    So, I've been building systems for years; my first being a Pentium Pro back in '96. Unfortunately, I'm not a kid anymore and I haven't been able to keep an eye on the case game, so I came here looking for some recommendations for a new case. Specifically, I need an understated ATX case with...

    Older OC'd CPU still running strong: GPU upgrade worth it?

    Thanks for all the help guys. It sounds like this CPU is 5 years old and thanks to the end of Moore's Law, it's still great! :)

    Older OC'd CPU still running strong: GPU upgrade worth it?

    Hi, I've got an i7-2600k OC'd to 4.4Ghz, 16GB ram, and a GTX 465. It's powered by a corsair AX850. It's been great for SC2, which is basically the only game I play, but I'm thinking of upgrading to a 1060 or 1070 to play more modern games like Doom and Overwatch. Is my CPU going to be a...

    Scientific Visualization and GFX cards

    The Geforce market is more competitive. It's basically the same hardware. Why would they give up driver performance on the consumer level?

    Yup, thats exactly how I'm sending triangles. I thought the quadro was the same as the gtx etc, except iwth different driver support? I'll have to look into it. Brian

    Scientific Visualization and GFX cards

    Hi All, Long time gamer, long time scientist. My scientific code has taken many twists and turns over the years, but a consistent aspect of my work includes rendering surfaces with a huge number of triangles. These aren't fancy textured, shaded, etc triangles. It's just a loose bag of...

    The state of PCIE-SSD boot disks

    Can you explain why not? I'm not interested in regular desktop use; I'm interested in HPC uses that require low latency high performance disk. The benchmarks indicate approximately 3x the read/write performance over sata3.

    The state of PCIE-SSD boot disks

    Hi all, I've long had a crush on PCIE SSD boot disks. But they always seemed to have interoperability issues; they dont boot right, etc etc. I've noticed that the M2 connector (which is apparently PCIE-based) looks like an interesting evolution, and since they are used for laptops, they...

    Sennheiser HD-360 at Amazon 70% off ($45)

    I've owned and continuously used a pair of Sennheiser 545s for almost 14 years. I've replaced the ear cups and headband cushion twice. Aside from that, they sound better and better. There is an argument to be made for quality, and you can find it in Sennheiser's line. Where this pair falls...

    Dell Ultrashap 30" (30% Off) $655 Wow (Refurb)

    I've seen that before. It's a bandwidth issue on DVI generally; the 30 inchers push that cable really hard. If you get a DP cable (dell loves DP for some reason <snicker>) the issue goes away. I imagine this is true for HDMI also, if it has the port. Lots of people will not know or...

    Bizarre dog-slow SSD

    Wow the samsung 840 pro is amazing. Just wonderful. So much better. Their migration software wasted 400 megs on a partition in the front, no idea why, but I kind of dont care. Shit this fucker is fast. I'm actually working with a Z77 (max gene V) board. Not sure if it matters, but there is...

    Bizarre dog-slow SSD

    Trim is enabled. see driver comments above. SSDlife reports 95% life, and overall healthy. It seems the issue is either the misalignment or the slightly old controller driver, but any and all suggestions would be welcomed.

    Bizarre dog-slow SSD

    I recently built a rig by moving my old system SSD (a sata2 samsung PM800 from 2010) into an ivybridge system on a maximus V gene mobo. I sysprep'd the OS, moved it, and got windows 7 activated. But the PM800 was dog slow, by any standards: sequential read (500MB): 186 mB/s sequential write...

    Power Supply Advice

    Dear All, Last night, my desktop shut off suddenly. No unusual noise occurred when the desktop shut off. Attempts to turn it back on cause the PSU to click twice and do nothing. When I attempt to power it on, nothing turns on: no fans, no post, no nothing. Here's a sketch of my system...

    *HOT* Dell 24in 2405FPW LCD $879.20

    I wasnt following hot deals on the 2000FP -> 2001FP; does anyone have any idea how much the presence of the new 2407 should depress the value of the 2405? I mean, unless the specs on the screen are significantly different, an extra card reader and an aluminum stand arent worth that much...
