    Would it be possible for the forum software to automatically strip the IMG tags from post quotes? I note that previous threads have been posted in Help and Feedback regarding auto resizing which is deemed unnecessary, the alternative suggested is to report nuisance posts but that sometimes...

    IN WIN H-Frame Kingsize: it's €1290! or approx $1450!

    The latest In Win special edition has been listed in retail at a few German and EU stores priced €1290 inc. VAT :eek: That's just over £1100 for the UK, and if you take off the 19% VAT, then convert it works out as $1450 for the USA! I believe that's more than the Thermaltake BMW Level 10...

    Windows 10 to be a full cloud OS (rumor and speculation)

    The article from WinBeta: Alleged Windows 9, Windows 10, Windows RT and Windows Phone details emerge (rumor) Without really knowing the implications I find the idea quite repugnant and my gut instinct is if this happens then Windows 9 (or maybe even windows 7) will be my last Microsoft OS - as...

    Crucial M500 reviews?

    M500s are in stock and shipping from various stores (in Europe at least) but I don't see any reviews yet. I would've thought at least one of AnandTech, or StorageReview would be quick to publish, anyone know if there is an NDA that has to lift before reviews are published? any other websites...

    EIZO CG276 & CX270 input lag / latency?

    Has anyone tested either CG276 or CX270, or seen a review that uses SMTT to test? Prad tested the CG246 and measured 10ms latency (excluding pixel response times.) Not bad for this type of display with all the image processing going on, but it's more latency than ideal. Perhaps the 27" are...

    Interest in Seasonic modular, fanless/semi-fanless SFX PSU? are you buying NCASE y/n?

    The objective of this poll is to try and extrapolate from the NCASE M1 popularity how much interest there would be in a premium quality SFX PSU if it were manufactured and sold by Seasonic. If it were an equivalent quality to Seasonic's ATX Platinum, Platinum Fanless or X-Series I think it would...

    LG EA93 2560×1080 21:9 IPS with 4-way split screen function

    LG press release 99% aRGB might be the only downside, but could this display offer bezeless 'multi-screen' gaming? will the odd resolution(s) be a problem? I can see the 21:9 ratio appealing to some gamers, particularly racing fans, but maybe it won't be so interesting for those who prefer...

    3840 × 2160 28" IPS display for ~$50K. Also a 32" 'mode2' LCD?

    Before anyone says "how ****ing much?!" I'd like to point out that these are very high end broadcast/mastering monitors and the price is absolutely typical of these types of display. If you take into account inflation these are 'cheap' relative to the old Sony 28" 1000 line CRT mastering...

    Ivy Bridge Turbo Boost - motherboard makers implementing Intel spec?

    iirc some boards/brands didn't follow Intel's specifications for implementing Turbo Boost on Sandy Bridge motherboards, and 'cheated' on performance by always using the maximum boost possible. There may be arguments for and against this, but I'm wondering if there is similar manipulation of the...

    PLS displays - input lag and other questions

    ELSA Gladiac 560 Ti Mini : 170mm long graphics card

    ELSA Gladiac 560 Ti Mini is much smaller than the reference design, which should prove very useful to some people. The downside is I don't think ELSA sell much outside of Japan and Asia these days? but the design looks good, so maybe other brands will follow. TechPowerUp report ELSA product page

    memtest errors: always because of faulty RAM? or too high OC?

    If memtest shows errors at high speeds around the maximum the RAM is rated for, but is fine at 'normal' speeds (1333-1600) does that suggest that the RAM is definitely faulty at its' rated speed? or does it suggest that the OC is too high for the CPU's memory controller? How would you prove...

    Intel DH67CF mini-ITX: is CPU undervolting an option?

    Intel boards seem pretty good for power efficiency, and DH67CF is one of the few mini-ITX with DisplayPort. However, does it have a BIOS option to undervolt CPUs? do any of the other (ATX or µATX) Intel H67 motherboards undervolt?

    SATA III - is the Marvell 88SE9172 an improvement on the 88SE9128 controller?

However there are now some motherboards available (some Gigabyte Z68) with a different Marvell controller, the 88SE9172. is this new 88SE9172 a worthy alternative...
