I didn't do a fancy write up but this is my recent build: https://www.veeshanvault.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=26595 I did read that. I would love to be able to get a 3950. Cost is definitely a factor for me. The lesson the X58/i7-920 system has taught me is that replacing video cards every...

This thread was a major reason for my current system, so I thought I'd reply to it. =) This spring, my Asus P6T mobo, Core i7-920, and DDR3 6gb system will be 11 years old. I'm on my 4th video card; the original GTX 285, then GTX 750, then GTX 960, and now GTX 1660 Super. I bought myself a 4k monito...

Zimmerman didn't chase him down. The opposite occurred.

Zimmerman's neighborhood is a safer place.

You are correct, Kyoukan. Troll and retard.

Stonie

In your last few posts, you've gone from this being less about Zimmerman's guilt, less about an angry black pothead kid's desire to beat up an armed neighborhood watchman, and less about white guilt; to being more about Zimmerman getting off on reasonable doubt. Thanks for answering my first questio...

Stonie

First part "picking fights" is speculative. Exactly. Which is also no more or less speculative than anything your opinion is based on. But to hear you say it, it's not about how the chain of events started. To you, it's only about white guilt and an angry drugged black kid. To you, it's n...

You can't go around picking fights with innocent citizens, kill them, then claim self defense, no matter what vigilante fantasies you have. Sucks for the angry young cop wannabe that he chose to murder someone.

The best way to be sure is to low-level format your hard disk and re-install a fresh OS.

Stonie

I have the predecessor to your router, Asus RT-N16. I bought it because the flash memory size allowed the full version of DD-WRT open source firmware. They are truly amazing once you put DD-WRT on them.

More than 3 years out of that build! (with SSD added after initial purchase) I bought almost your identical system, including a GTX285, in April 2009 I didn't buy an SSD for it until January 2012, though.

I played it in first person, too. I just can't remember what made it so hard or undesirable to play it in 3rd person.

Plus my current MB uses Marvel for the SATA III controller and from everything I read that is bad news. It's only bad news if you don't like AHCI and TRIM support for your SSD, or do like sporadic data corruption and poor driver support. Marvell is great for NICs, shitty for storage controllers. I ...

Stonie

I think all I did was move the page file to a spinning disk. It's safe to leave the page file on the SSD now, thanks to TRIM support. The key is having FIXED page file size. I've been setting my page files to 1gb. You can probably get away with no page file or smaller than 1gb, if you have enough p...

I don't know the answer to your Vent problem, but have you looked into using Mumble? It's open source and free.

http://mumble.sourceforge.net/

Stonie

At least now you know you still have a good backup power supply.

Stonie

Now that you've changed the power supply and the noise is still there, do you think it might be a bad capacitor on the motherboard? Several motherboard forum posts I've read had a sound very similar to what you are describing, especially under heavier load, and it turned out to be a capacitor.

if I want to upgrade the stock CPU cooler and overclock. If you don't increase the voltage, you won't need better cooling. I upped the voltage on my I7-920 a tad bit on a copper air cooler.

Does that negatively impact the service they are offering?

Stonie

I can get 6mbps for ~15 bucks more/mo. I usually start my queued downloads before I go to bed anyway, so I just don't need the extra speed and money is tight.

Forte/APN also has an unlimited plan and it's still cheaper than Giganews.

Stonie

How are their speeds and reliability? That's what makes giganews awesome. I max out 26.5 Mbps whenever I use Giganews. I pulled a Fairweather and downloaded a 20 GB Blu Ray rip of Avatar that other day. Took a little less than two hours. BTW, 17K+Kbps Avatar looks very nice on an iMac 27" scre...

Stonie

Hmm, Agent News (APN) has a 12gb free trial. I think I might have to test them out. The 25gb/mo plan is the same limit I currently have with Giganews, but APN has free SSL and is ~$6/mo cheaper.

Thanks Aslanna!

Stonie

This is a pretty common problem with X58 boards. If CPU-Z detects all memory correctly for both size and slot location, this is a good sign that the motherboard and memory are not defective and your BIOS settings are probably to blame. If CPU-Z shows some missing, some people fix it like you did by ...

AMD's unlocked multiplier 955BE looks tasty too, at 1/4 the cost of a Core i7 965:

The overall cost difference between going AM3 and Core i7 is very tempting.
