Cooler Master Hyper N520 is defective on Intel motherboards by John Doe[_9_]
The conglomerate of reviews on Amazon for Cooler Master heatsinks is misleading. The Cooler Master Hyper N520 is being sold with a defective attachment plate. The screws are permanently fixed in the wrong direction for Intel motherboards. There is a video on the subject on the Tube... Just...

AMD X2 4200/5200 vs E6850 by Flasherly[_2_]
Looking over prospects, if I want, $14 to update an AMD from 2.2 to 2.8Ghz. Rough benchmarks 1/5 or a sixth more umph. Nowhere in the same league as similarly priced Intel (I just updated and stuck in a different MB a week ago): Intel's 4G cache is killer, instruction sets, pipelining methods,...

Questions about writing to flash drives by Charlie Hoffpauir
Here's the situation... I have 1.5 GB of files, PDFs, Html, text, etc to write to multiple flash drives. I have as many as 5 USB ports available on my computer. I'll probably be using 2 GB USB 2 flash drives for this. Each copy from my hard drive to a test USB flash drive takes almost an hour. I...

OT Head trackers like the TrackIr 5? by John Doe[_9_]
I see a jillion glowing reviews about the TrackIr 5 head tracker. But I don't understand why it's such a good thing. When turning your head, don't you have to keep your eyes on the monitor? If you make it sensitive to a tiny amount of head movement, then it's more likely to mess up? Or am I...

new conroe-4m by Flasherly[_2_]
30 minutes to swap, take the vacuum cleaner and trim brush to that mess around a 212 thermaltake monster after couple years with a D805. Quick, real quick application of Artic Silver, and four screws to secure back the HS. Fired up the second time at 9x333. 65watts and conroe is 7F degrees hotter...

anybody getting dodgy e-mails to update your Coolermaster login? by [email protected]
I got one stating that forum system was upgraded, so I should update login information. When I hold mouse over the link it has another URL starting with app.sendstream.com So I did not click on link in e-mail. It was addressed to "community member" instead of my name, so I always think not...

New battery in wireless mouse by Jax[_4_]
I put a new battery in my wireless mouse and although it shouldn't make any difference it seemed to make the it more responsive and focused. Is there some reason this would happen? -- Jax

can't believe I'm defragmenting a flashstick by Flasherly[_2_]
My binary W7 OS (5G) - multiple volumes got corrupted when I added another, later OS binary files into the same directory. Name conventions and probably a DOS mistake (should have moved them apart and into directories). Had to reinstall W7 (off a flashstick, as a result, which is nice - very,...

Cooler Master Hyper N520 by John Doe[_9_]
Anybody have a Cooler Master Hyper N520? Anything I should know before installing it? I wonder if mounting a monstrosity like that on its side like in a tower case is really a good thing. Thanks.

Strange W8.1 boot problem by Rebel1
I've been having various oddball problems with W8.1, 32 bits. So I bought a new hard drive and had someone do a clean install of W8.1, 64 bits. The computer now has two hard drives, with the second one having the "flaky" version of W8.1. I have the BIOS set to boot from the new one. If I do a...

new ssd anticlimactic by Flasherly[_2_]
put another one, ssd in dos native transfers - no gain, if not pain, between ssdssd but it is a semi-intensive compression thingy I'm working with on sector-to-sector binary transfers ssd's are great, don't get me wrong, but at a certain point of efficiency, they're redundant. Once the OS and...

Bootable w8.1 disc or flashdrive by Rebel1

Last Look at W7 by Flasherly[_2_]
Had to give up the idea of my boot arbitrator over NT Loader. On the same partition. By physically removing drives prior to the install, it's possible to come back and boot into W7 from another non-M$/NTL loader. Which I'm doing, having tried both my platter drives for the fastest speed vantages...
