    Build goes from fine to won't post to fine to won't post

    Installing windows - the ASUS Motherboard noticed the CPU fan was not reporting its speed, but I can tell it's on, so I told it to ignore. Upside of all this is I didn't want to lose data on the old SSD so now I have a Samsung 960 EVO M.2 drive. I guess I'll order a replacement fan...

    Build goes from fine to won't post to fine to won't post

    Done. Direct to wall in office / Hallway / Living room. (Reset CMOS back in office) Same. I have an unopened Z270 Motherboard from a nearby shop. Is that a reasonable next step? I also picked up a 900W UPS because I do think funkiness with power / electric was part of the story here.

    Build goes from fine to won't post to fine to won't post

    Surge protector power strip with just the system and a monitor plugged in. Graphics card is out, PCI-e wireless adapter is out. Only thing in USB is keyboard. One stick of RAM. Power on, all fans turn on. Red "CPU" light on steady. No post, no signal to the monitor. Tried with monitor and...

    Build goes from fine to won't post to fine to won't post

    All components listed in first post of this thread. (Vid card upgraded to RX480) The system has been doing fine. Then one day I power it up and it never gets to the BIOS. CPU light on the Motherboard is lit red. First thing I tried was swapping out the PSU with a new 1000W model, same series...

    What non-gaming Virtual Reality applications are you most interested in?

    Education - virtual Labs that are too dangerous/ expensive to conduct in meatspace. Also job simulators designed to help teens narrow down career preferences rather than just entertain. Some balance between getting a sense of what it's like being good at a trade as well as an authentic feel for...

    Help me decide on a new case, I'm eyeing the In Win 904 Plus

    I just finished a build with a Fractal Design R5 - there are variants with windows. Definitely fits the bill for quiet (I found it when researching for a modern update of the p183 - someone described the Fractal cases as the "spiritual successors" or "what the 180 line should have become if...

    Do you use Siri? What do you use it for?

    "Call Joe" (with Joe being someone who doesn't have a quick select button on my car's dashboard, wife and favorite burger joint). That's pretty much it for me tbh. My 5 y/o and 3 y/o ask Siri all sorts of random questions and break out into uncontrollable giggling when she answers.

    Performance per Watt optimized gaming system - now vs. next cycle?

    Quick update before I order parts. Non-K 6700s are only $20 less than a 6700k right now (no free shipping). I also happened upon this SilentPCReview article: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1481-page5.html According to their power use measurements and calculations the 6700 is best for...

    Performance per Watt optimized gaming system - now vs. next cycle?

    Ok, so I could make a board with 2 fan headers work using a splitter. It seems like every motherboard under $200 with wifi only has one slot, precluding ever doing SLI (not that I think that's likely vs a 2 GPU card). So my search is units with 2 x16 slots and one additional slot for the WiFi...

    Performance per Watt optimized gaming system - now vs. next cycle?

    Some good food for thought, thanks! I do want at least 3 headers for case fans which rules out a couple of those MoBos. With the dust in the office I want to be sure to maintain positive pressure inside. I'm also concerned about leaving flexibility for future GPU upgrades. A single dual...

    Performance per Watt optimized gaming system - now vs. next cycle?

    Agreed on the i7 6700 over 6700K. My brain is hurting researching the Z170 Motherboards. Tweaktown has power usage data for the Z170 Extreme4+ here: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7295/asrock-z170-extreme4-intel-motherboard-review/index10.html (edit: under standardized conditions: 79W...

    Performance per Watt optimized gaming system - now vs. next cycle?

    Thanks guys! I appreciate the voltage optimization comments Ken_g6. Forgot to mention that I have an optical drive for Windows instillation that I'll remove after (for airflow) or I may just attempt to install from USB. That and I guess I'll get a new 10 Home license so the old box can be...

    Performance per Watt optimized gaming system - now vs. next cycle?

    Yet another "now or later" post, though I'd prefer now if the performance per watt next cycle isn't likely to be significantly better. Can also be a refresh everything but the GPU upgrade. Already looking at Fractal Design R5 for the case but other components I'm looking for suggestions. 1...

    iPads or Laptops or Windows Tablets for a school district?

    I would also suggest looking into whether Chromebooks could meet your needs. You get the price range of a tablet with a physical keyboard, plus Google has some back end support for education (http://bit.ly/l72a9h , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yYFVXhEX88). From the first link (2011 - not...

    Its March 19th 2012....

    Jumped on Newegg's Sapphire 7850 OC. Figure it might be a reasonable performance boost from a 4770 for the ~50W higher idle load. Plus, it might be nice to see what the latest crop of games looks like on settings higher than medium. :)

It boils down to picking a map with islands and relocating to two defensible islands while seven zerg AI beat each other up, then...

    When you build a new system, what do you do with your old parts?

    I'm now looking at reusing some old parts for a system for my brother in law who has been using a workstation with integrated graphics for "gaming". Not sure whether to try to pass a 7800GS AGP card onto him though, I was mostly thinking of passing on the XP license, DVD-RW drive, and the case...

    New build, <$1000, gaming and programming, some image/video editing

    There is a review of the Corsair 650 HX Syran suggested here (translated from German), and the 80+ testing data sheet is here. The review's acoustic test was pretty sloppy, but the 650 HX only added about 2db above the ambient noise, which means practically speaking their test unit was pretty...

    New Gaming System - Low Power/Noise. Alternate part suggestions please.

    Thank you for the replies. The SilentPC forums scared me off of the ENERMAX PSU (lots of owner complaints). Switched to a similar (newer model) Corsair PSU - a 7 year warranty is nice. Was also considering the Seasonic X650 Gold, but the price ($170) feels a little high for this build. I...

    New Gaming System - Low Power/Noise. Alternate part suggestions please.

    I am finally looking to upgrade from an AGP system with an Athlon64 3200+ processor. It runs Dragon Age Origins on the lowest settings, and I find the experience acceptable, but there appears to be some (likely age related) issue with the power supply, memory, or motherboard: the system has a...

    Intelligence VS Experience

    A certain level of intelligence is necessary, but not sufficient. Due to the Einstein, Gates, etc. phenomenon, you really can't assess whether someone has the necessary level based upon college grades. There's a minimum age to run for president, and by that age, there's always more current...

    iPhone App Store

    I wouldn't be surprised if the carriers (AT&T in the US) get a portion of Apple's 30% cut from application sales. It's pretty standard practice. Bandwidth isn't such an issue when there's (potential) revenue attached to its use. Apple probably refused to give a cut of iTunes store sales to...

    Does anyone STILL think the Bush tax loans were a good idea?

    Tax cuts "paying for themselves" is completely debunked at this point, even by the most conservative supply-side economists. On the other hand, the premise that a $1 tax cut doesn't cost the government the full $1 due to compensating revenues is pretty accepted (though who knows if it's $0.99 or...

    McCain on gas prices: "I don't recall, and frankly, I don't see how it matters."

    Not a McCain fan, but it's pretty clear he's referring to the "last time you pumped your own gas" part, and the potential to link his answer to gas prices is simply him not being careful in how he answered the question. This sort of "gotcha" politics does show the potential danger of pushing...

    Louisiana passes first antievolution "academic freedom" law

    U.S. drops even lower in educational measurement rankings

    I can't wait to see some data from the high teacher pay charter schools.
