    AMD Takes Aim At Exceptional Content With New LiquidVR Technologies

    Looks like it's the Wild West for VR technology again. Everyone's getting in on the action, making their own products. Do these things even follow any standard? Will one game or program work for all? Are we stuck with being stuck with one particular device due to hardware differences? This...

    EA Sued For Shutting Down Online Games

    Wouldn't it be more convenient for players to be able to run their own servers like in the olden days instead of having these publishers control all the servers?

    US, China to Cooperate More on Cyber Threat

    Wow, how gullible can the USA get? Has the government ever once wondered just what benefit China gets if they cooperate? They're the ones that's successfully nailing our countries and we can't do anything to stop them. We don't have the defenses, and they just laugh their heads off when we...

    FBI: We Need Wiretap-Ready Web Sites -- Now

    I bet the Chinese, seeing as how keen they are on cyber warfare, probably already has the capacity of some form to spy on everyone already on the net. It's plenty sad that the US government needs to rely on back doors to as a handicap to get these data. We're so screwed if WWIII happens, can...

    P6T - Triple Channel a must?

    Hello, I've got a P6T mobo and I've been wanting to upgrade my RAM for a while now. Is there any actual advantages in buying triple channel RAM, or does it not matter if I only bought a set of 2x / 4x sticks of RAM?

    I see, I guess I'll start dabbling with overclocking then. Thanks again everyone!

    i7 920 at 52 degrees celsius

    Yes. I've done it again just now, ambient room temperature is 27C and IntelBurnTest load temp maxes out at 52C Is it safe to use the penny mod without lapping my TRUE-120? This will be my fourth time reseating this thing and I'll be using the pea sized AR5 in the center of the CPU this time...

    i7 920 at 52 degrees celsius

    I see that my max load temperature is 49C after running IntelBurnTest, but it's also a cool 20C outside right now at the moment as well. See this is what I don't get. We're both using the TRUE-120. I've set my vCore to 1.01v, the 920 is 2.8 ghz, and yet we're sitting at identical...

    i7 920 at 52 degrees celsius

    Thing is I don't even know if this temperature is good due to the fact that I'm not using a stock HSF.

    i7 920 at 52 degrees celsius

    Maybe I should pick up a 4 gm one of the MX-4. People seem to be raving about that. Should I get my TRUE-120 lapped and use the penny mod as well? I'm still sitting around 38-40C. I don't think my TRUE-120 is having a serious dent on the heat dissipation.

    Is My P6T SAS Port 0 Fried?

    I've been using the SAS ports entirely due to lack of knowledge. Anyways ASUS gave me a P6T <Green> replacement for my P6T, but they said they weren't able to detect any problems on my P6T regardless so in the end I'm grateful to them and everyone in here. I'll need to test out the SAS...

    Ok, I'm going to uninstall the EPU-6 and TurboV program. These things are making automatic settings for me and from the sounds of it, they're doing a horrible job at it. As for the 200 hours, it's what I gleamed from over there. If you think that's ridiculous, that's fine. I'm perfectly...

    i7 920 at 52 degrees celsius

    I'll be honest here, I'm a total newbie at this. I just plugged the CPU, attached an aftermarket heatsink and started the whole thing up. I didn't even go into the BIOS to make any changes to anything except the boot order of my HDDs. My motherboard is a P6T. The only thing the might even...

    i7 920 at 52 degrees celsius

    I'll go with your suggestion right away. I've been using the line method that I saw people mention a while ago. Also I've let the BIOS do the auto settings for my CPU, the only thing that changes my computer settings at the moment is the ASUS EPU-6, and I -think- that only affects my...

    Device Finds Child Porn on WiFi

    That does seem to be the trend these days. I'm all for nailing child porn, but we're not all fools. We've been burned enough times, we're familiar with the political dance routine and it's only a matter of time before this also mutates into something that completely violates civil rights...

    Device Finds Child Porn on WiFi

    No kidding. I wonder when they'll take this from just purely "thinking of the children" to blowing the lid wide open on this technology and some more blind men gets taken to court by the media industry for sharing porn.

    Is My P6T SAS Port 0 Fried?

    Well at this point I'm totally in the dark. I tried to do some research online myself, I've gotten from some sources that SAS are perfectly backwards compatible with SATA HDD and DVD Drives. The thing is right now I've sent my P6T to ASUS for RMA, and I got a call back from the receptionist...

    P6T SAS Port 0 problems, insights appreciated!

    Hello, I've been using the P6T SAS Port 0 for a SATA HDD use and one day when I booted up my computer it said it couldn't detect my HDD anymore. It just so happens that HDD is where my OS is installed on. Switching the HDD to another SATA port worked. I tried to plug in my DVD Burner into...

    Is My P6T SAS Port 0 Fried?

    Maybe I should rephrase my question. Is it true that the SAS Port 0 can't be used to run a SATA boot HDD or a DVD Rom? Is it normal for windows to not be able to detect any SATA HDD or DVD Rom connected to a SAS port on the P6T?

    EA Says Steam "Too Restrictive" For Battlefield 3

    This isn't an excuse. There is truth in EA's press release statement. Basically what they mean is that they want to cut Valve off from DLC profits even though Valve is advertising and providing their community base for EA. EA hasn't changed, they're just as greedy as hell as they were...

    EA Says Steam "Too Restrictive" For Battlefield 3

    Some of the people on the EA forums have got to be delusional, what with their logics and reasonings. Of course Steam deserves to get a cut from DLCs and add ons. They're bloody well advertising it as well. Business is supposed to be able mutual profits, not one side getting everything...

    I use HWMonitor and PC Probe 2. Right now my house is 28 degrees OC, no AC on, windows are open and it's 31 degrees OC outside. At the moment PC Probe 2 is saying that my CPU is at 45 OC, HWMonitor is showing temperature for all of my cores and it's fluxating between 50-52 degrees OC.

    Well the IntelBurnTest says my system is stable. And it looks like my high temperature was a result of yesterday being really hot and I don't have AC on, only open window. My cores sits around 46 degrees celsius right now. It still seems a bit high though, judging by other people's...
