Does the LED that illuminates the HyperX logo on the USB dac supposed to be on 24/7? It's on even when my computer is off. Is this the way its supposed to be? It kind of bugs me.
Heres some background info:
linksys e3000 with latest tomato firmware
1 wired pc
1 wireless pc laptop 5ghz
1 wired mbp
1 mba wireless 5ghz
2 wireless iphones on 2.4ghz
1 apple tv wireless 5ghz
1 ipad mini wireless 5ghz
So my issue is regarding the apple tv and the ipad mini. They...
so i'm trying to oc my ram which has a default voltage of 1.35v but everytime I turn off the computer and turn it on the voltage gets reset to 1.5v. In the settings it is still set to 1.35 but it shows as 1.5. Anybody else have this problem? I googled and did not see this result anywhere
so my stock i7 3770k fails the intel burn test sometimes. I am stock with a super mega cooler and dual ap-15's. Temps never get higher than 63 on the highest temp core and 58 on the lowest temp core. Any ideas?
I have some older SATA cables and they say 1.5gb/s, but wanted to know if they were like hdmi cables meaning if it works it works. are they "forward" compatible?
which would you choose? i purposely posted in the amd forum since i have more experience with ati/amd. I don't like the fact that the sapphire uses 3 slots but i do like 2 mini dp
so what is nvidia's version of eyefinity? I know i can run 4 monitors from the 670 but can i game with 4? i've been an ati/amd user for over a decade and this might be my first nvidia purchase in a long time. are there any differences? I do like having 1 dvi and 2 dp but i don't think its...
So which card should i get if i want a cool quiet card? sapphire 7970 oc? looking to buy in the next month or so. Not really interested in getting the highest fps, a few fps slower won't bother me as much. Or maybe I should wait?
Is the 3770k worth the extra 100? price isnt the main issue, as is availability. At microcenter getting the 3570k + gigabyte ud5 will save over $150, while the 3770k isnt even available, let alone the extra $50 discount on the mobo
so i read hardocp's review, and they seem awesome. super quiet, competes with the best, and cheap, but where can I buy it? I saw it on amazon but theres a $13 markup, that seems steep
just out of curiosity, what are the higher end boards? the ones i've seen in stock / available are around 180-260. I want to see what else I can get for more money :)
So i know with pcie 3.0 x 16 can handle 16GB/s, but how much can a 7970 use? I'm asking for future proofing, in case i want to add another or upgrade thus moving it to a x8
So I was contemplating using 4x4 samsung's because they over clock well, but 1. I don't know if 16 will be enough, and 2. I don't really need oc'd ram, just 1600 will be fine. What would you recommend If i wanted a 2x8 or 4x8 GB setup?
oh and no corsair
Currently i'm running some old altec lansing mx5021 hooked up to the onboard sound. Lately over the course of several months a hissing has developed. I tried replacing the speaker cables and the connector from the computer to the sub and it still hisses. I am building a new computer and was...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
I plan on using it for games (10%), general usage(50%), video processing/converting(30%) and some coding/programming (10%)
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Flexible, but would like to keep it...
So I plan on cannibalizing my current computer to give to a friend and wanted to know of my windows license stays with the motherboard? i plan on keeping the ssd that is currently being used. Can i just unplug the ssd and install it into my new build? I plan on doing a clean install. I do...

So lets say I add a folder with 4 files inside (pictures) to the server from my desktop. Once the folder is transfered and i right click on properties it says 5 files and the folder size is larger than on my desktop. why is this? I disabled shadow copies. When I transfer the same folder back, it...

so is it worth getting a premade nas such as a 4 bay synology or qnap? I'm not too worried about electricity usage (although if its a huge difference I might). Should I just build one? I know little about nases and will be doing a lot of research. I figure I could build a decent i3 computer...
This is just a curiosity question. I just picked up 2 3tb hitachi's and am currently doing an error scan on hd tune (should i do it thru explorer as well?) and was just curious as i have a long ways to go on the opinion of how many bad blocks is too many? is 1 too many?
so i have an evga x58 e758 (older x58 mobo) and a 5870 on it which takes up 2 slots (not physically, but it takes 1 slot and blocks another. the specs are 1 x PCIe x16, 1 x PCIe x8/x16, 1 x PCIe x8. Because my motherboard doesnt have usb3 and I need more esata connections (it comes with 1 but...
So i currently have a normal xfx 5870 and just bought 3 dell u2412m which run at 1920x1200 resolution. I'm pretty sure I wont have any problems doing normal things such as web surfing and what not but how will it handle games? If it has troubles, can i just have it play on 1 monitor? I dont...
So i picked up a 13 mba 256 (thanks amazon!) and i was thinking of either giving my laptop to my brother, or selling it. Either way, what do I need to do to prep it? I want to make sure the data is securely wiped. Also, do i need to register it like i did my mba? I do not plan on installing...
so my mobo only has sata 2. i've been itching to get into ssd. Is it worth getting a sata3 ssd? or should i get a sata2 ssd? Or should I not even bother and wait till I upgrade my comp
So I currently have a 32" lg tv with ips as my main screen. I am leaning towards getting an eyefinity setup. I dont need great response time or super high quality color accuracy or viewing angles, what I am looking for is good bang for the buck and hopefully cheap (250 ish per monitor). I was...
so I know the mx holds a heavier monitor, but is that the only difference? I currently have a 32" lg as my primary and want to add my 24 but this would clutter up the desktop and was thus looking at the arms, but wanted to know if there were any differences. I ask this as the lx series seems...
So heres my dilemma. I have a silverstone ft-02 which holds 5 hd's. I also have a 4 bay sansdigital tower. I have 2 samsungs 1tb running raid 1 and 2 2tb greens in the silverstone, and 4 1.5 tb wd greens in the tower. I need more space. whats the cheapest way to add more hard drives? get...
