    The Top 5 Best CPUs of All Time

    Don't forget the PIII 550-E as a good overclocker. I got a stable overclock on mine to 860 with an FSB bump.

    Introducing the Moto Z2 Force

    I have an original Z Force and love it. However, the screen does scratch easily since Shattershield is a plastic top layer. I have a tempered glass protector to compansate. Other than that one problem, the phone's been outstanding! It's very fast and I can go two days without plugging it into...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    I will say that the Z800 is definitely a great system to be a hypervisor. I love mine. You can start relatively small with it (a single E5540 and 16GB) and upgrade it for cheap (bought two x5650's for $150 on eBay). It cost me about $800 to outfit it. It's not a deep pizza box so I don't...

    Seasonic Snow Silent 750W PSU LUCKY DRAW!

    I've used Seasonic power supplies in all my builds after buying a X-650 for my gaming system. Since then I've purchased a S12II-350 for my VMware host, a Platinum 400 for my wife's system, and another Platinum 400 for my parent's system. The quality of the cables is top notch. I love the...

    Corsair Hydro Series HG10 GPU Liquid Cooling Bracket

    $39.99. But remember, it's just a bracket that cools the VRM and RAM and also allows you to mount one of their water cooling units. And yes, you will need a stock cooler because it does reuse the fan.

    I Need Your Old Computer Hardware!

    I'm sending Steve a DL360 G6, so I don't think he'll have any problems with another server. Don't forget to write the system and shipping off on your taxes. Also, send it UPS Freight. It's slower, but more cost effective. Steve, is there a specific name we can use on our taxes to write it...

    Prolimatech Geneis and Fenrir Titan CPU Cooler Review @ [H]

    [Constructive Criticism] It looks like the amount of thermal compound used for your tests is way too much. In the pictures posted in the article, it looks like a layer of cake batter which tells me it's too much. Correct application should result in a very thin (extremely thin) layer of...

    2012 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Performance Review @ [H]

    Driver updates and driver stability were the two main reasons why I upgraded from an AMD 6850 to a nVidia GTX 660ti. Even though performance is roughly on par for the two (for me), I had quite a few crashes in my games with the AMD card. When I switched out to nVidia, all my games just worked...

    Surveillance System Scans 36M Faces in One Second?

    Seasonic Platinum-1000 Drawing

    When I was researching for a new PSU to upgrade from my PCP&C TC850-SSI, I looked at [H]'s review of the Seasonic X Series and decided to buy an X750. It's definitely the best PSU upgrade I've ever done. It's so much quieter then my old PCP&C unit, and I like that it's a modular PSU (my first...

    World of Tanks MMO

    KV: In the Beta, I played the KV and hated it so much that I skipped the KV's tree in the live game. I converted the free experience from my Marder's wins. Consumables: Once thing I do with every Tier 6 and up tank I own is put on a small repair, small medkit, and 100 octane gas (or lend...

    World of Tanks MMO

    I'm going to chime in and say that most of the opinions here about what tanks to use are pretty spot on. Each tank in the game is starting to really flesh out to certain playing styles. A great example would be my Marder. I still play with it even though I own higher-tiered tanks. It's...

    Non-Tech Related Video of the Day

    I live in Baltimore, too. It's illegal for bikes to ride on the sidewalks, and skateboarders can only skate at a skate park. I understand why people were shoved off their rides. But, I will say that Maryland drivers do not give right-of-way to any bike or skateboard in the street. It's...

    Windows 8 Video Preview

    Did MS come out with a Service Pack 3 for Vista to integrate all the Win7 features? Did MS come out with a Service Pack 4 for XP to give users the Vista UI and features? Repeat ad nauseum for each preceeding version of Windows.

    Windows 8 Video Preview

    This. It sounds like alot of the people posting have never touched a tablet PC after Windows 7 was released. When you install the OS, it detects if you have a tablet or not. It's a simple process of detecting hardware (you know, that thing called Plug-N-Play?). Take this into Windows...
