Both heatsinks are the same price on my lists. I already own the Xigmatek model, but the processor it is sitting on doesn't push it enough to tell wether it's good or very good. I know Handruin owns the Cooler Master and likes it. In theory, the Cooler Master should offer a superior cooling...

I quickly searched on google, but most of the results were from sellers in the UK. Thanks for the finding.

You mean GreenPois0n?

Is there a place like www.partsurfer.hp.com, but for Toshiba? I need to replace the scren of a Satellite L300-0h9, but I don't know where to look for it. eBay is a no go. I want to have a warranty on the part, be it only 30 days, but I want one. I haven't find a compatible screen locally.

I thought you were a bit older than that.

Will we be granted with another picture from Mr. Fingerman? :mrgrn:

Looking at many other pictures on that page and MaxBurn now has an official nickname : Mr. Fingerman :mrgrn:

I'm opening a new store and untill it opens and starts to bank in money, I'm bleeding cash big time. So in a way, yes, I'm in emergency and unless a volcano burst out of the ground between me and my suppliers, I'll be on the road to get all the missing stuff I need to open the store. Today was...

But we recently lost a position to Tributar something :sad: Around 3 p.m. this afternoon, when I was stuck in the middle of the snowstorm, searching for my lost set of keys which vanished in a snow hill, 3 of my 4 computers rebooted for no reason. The only one that didn't was my otherwise...

Well, I'm sorry to hear about your little gust of wind, but here it's been the Apocalypse. We've had close to a foot of snow and the roads were like a freshly waxed bowling alley. I had to drive about a hundred kilometers with a rental RWD van that couldn't drive straight passed 60Km/h. To...

Congratulations from here too. If he had won the GTX 560 Ti, he would have been incredibly hard to catch up at the FAH game.

I just read was Time linked and all the measures are in Km/h and the like. Mooner, what have you been smoking again?

It's because they love her Majesty so much that they keep using the imperial measures. ;-)

Bunker? With all the rain that's coming with it, underground is the last place you want to be.

??? You're posting here from work or what? Why no Internet connection?

With the recently found bug in their chipsets, I wouldn't be too eager to buy one. Intel is supposed to ship revised versions of the chipsets by the end of February for the laptop version. How much it will affect the arrival of the mobile version, that I have no idea.

Today, iPad's protection jackets appeared on my price lists. So the toy must be fairly easy to scratch.

Oh and it was a while since I checked your sig and it's crazy how insane you are. There's more than enough money across those four computers to buy a small nice car. Insane, I tell ya. When I find an empty spot on my floor, I put a computer running the FAH client, but it seems that when you...

I thought the 7.5 was for your work computer, hence my confusion about the score.

I became curious about Windows 7 scores when I read that Ddrueding's memory score was only 7.5 on his most powerful system. Somehow, for 12GB of 1600MHz DDR3, that seemed a tad low. So here are the scores of a few of my computers : Core i5 2400 with a kit of 4GB (2x2) Kingston 1333MHz...

Sometimes, a system that is stable for a few hours isn't necessarily stable in the long run. For instance, my damned i7 950 completed three big units with the FAH client (that's more than a week time), but it froze at 97% (more than two days of work) on the fourth one and then it started...

Between 38C and 42C with 4 cores at 100%. More realistic, but it still shows that the SD1283 was overkill. Oh well, at least it was easy to install and it's quiet. 30$ for tranquility isn't that bad.

Well, regarding MY i5 2400 experience, I hope Speedfan readings are erronous because if they are right, I wasted good money on a third-party heatsink. With all cores at 100% (Folding), Speefan reports temperature between 23C and 27C. Apparently, the retail heatsink would have been just fine...

That's the score I get with mecanical hard drives (not Raptor, plain WD Caviar Blue and vanilla Seagate 7.2K rpm). What's wrong with the scoring?

One of the nicest motherboards for Sandy Bridge is the Asus Sabertooth P67, but the design is made for a top-down cooler. I supposed it is more at risk of over-heating with a tower heatsink. It is a standard ATX motherboard. Personally, the Asus P8P67-M would be enough and it as a µ-ATX form...

Wow. If your hair is that thick, just shave it.

You mean order a new one? There's no sending it back ; it's custom-made. The thickness mistake is from me. They did what I told them to do. I'll order a new one and I'll use the one I have for a display desk. I would only need to bend the frame for another 2mm for it to fit, but I've...

Fitting a thickness 5 glass into a thickness 4 metal window frame requires a LOT of will.

Not all CAT5 cables are able to achieve gigabit speed. The cheaper ones or those with poorly made connectors will let too much noise interfere and the network will drop down to 100Mbit. If you want to be sure, replace your cables with CAT6.

Hiren's boot CD. The last version is 13.0, but my favorite remains 10.6 because after that one, they removed many useful (and not free) tools like Paragon Partition Manager and Active Password Changer.

Congratulations everyone, last week was our first week to produce over a million points! My third system is down again. It hang Thursday at 97% of a P6900 unit (~67000 points) and when I restarted it, it flushed the current work and downloaded another. I shut it down for a day and yesterday...

One thing I wonder about this place is how can you eat and not fall sick in a place without any kind of hygiene or salubrity? The locals may have built system immunities but visitors from other countries sure don't.

I forgot the Nanga Parbat, but it is not close to the other four. I would not do it by foot.

I'm not that interested to go to Nepal, but at this time of the year, I'd like to try to climb any or all of the four +8000m summits of Pakistan (K2, Gasherbrum I and II and Broad Peak). No one has ever reached the top of any of them in Winter. I would be famously remembered as the sickest...

Doing all those abs really pays off. That laptop has a 90-pack.

You are ambiguous. While we may help find cures for diseases, we won't ever find any cure for deceased.

May 3rd, confirmed

Welcome to the newest member of our team : sdbarwick.

I imagine a frozen Santilli on his surf board, stuck in a giant ice wave.

Use the equipment each side of your head. If you're satisfied with the result, then wether it is downsampling or not is of little importance. Like Merc said before, if it goes out of a cheapo integrated sound chip (what the Realtek is), the audio has been molested. Do you have a dedicated...

265lbs for each speaker and 134lbs for the subwoofer. Definetely not for Lunarmist.

Done.

We should be extinct a good 4 billion years before the Sun morph into a red giant. Even if we find a way not to kill ourselves before, life on Earth will only be possible for maybe another 500 million years or so. After that, it will be far too hot and dry.

Why upgrade then? Do you absolutely want to give perfectly good computer parts to the poors of your area?

That would be a very different case because there isn't a history of Californian superstorm. Insurance conpanies would all go bankrupt if it was to happen. They always offer flooding insurance in places not supposed to be flooded so when those places are flooded, they have to pay. A...

On the other hand, it's not like it never happened before. If humanity wants to live in a place that get flooded badly every thirty years, it has to build infrastructures in consequence. Sure, the recent flood was worse than the one in the 70s, but from what I read on the Net, such flood...

Another hit to the theory that we were all created equal.

I used to have a Thinkpad R50p with a 1600x1200 15" screen.

Surrender ;-) No, in fact that's the last thing I want him to do. What's important is that every member contributes to his best and that's what he does.

Pick your certificates quickly. I might not host them for long. You can get them later from Stanford's web site, but the date won't be good (Tea's certificate is one day late).
