    Windows users... will you upgrade to Windows 8?

    Post your SSD life here

    Why? I use 'Crystal Disk' to check multiple SSD on my system. Whereas using SSD Life, I can only check one SSD. :shadedshu Edit = I have to pay to SSD-Life Pro just to see all SSD drive. But, 'Crystal Disk' doesn't...

    560 TI 2GB vs 7850.. what specs won't tell you.

    Seriously, that is why I always consider MSI / ASUS / XFX / Sapphire / Zotac / EVGA. These brand are better, professional and straight with quality assurance.

    Xigmatek Dark Knight SD1283 VS Venus XP-SD1266

    Thank you Norton & micropage7 for helping out! :) But, guess what? My buddy got pissed off that I didn't want to sell my heat-sink. :D If I were to change heatsink, I will need to buy alcohol (95%), anti-static cloth (x6) and thermal paste to replace the heat-sink. It will be a pain in the neck...

    Corsair Announces Force Series GS SSDs

    Just a thought... How stable is Sand-Force? Any improvements??? If not, I will stay away from Sand-Force chip and continue using Crucial and their M4 SSD for another 3 years.

    Xigmatek Dark Knight SD1283 VS Venus XP-SD1266

    WTH? 160W from Dark Knight SD1283? That must be the fan... Anyway, after doing my research, I am going to skip buying the "Dark Knight SD1283" edition. Why? My Xigmatek Venus provides '6 x 6mm copper pipes' to dissipate heat while the Dark Knight only provides '3 x 8mm'. That is a bit of...

    Xigmatek Dark Knight SD1283 VS Venus XP-SD1266

    Hi everyone. A few hours ago, I was planning to upgrade my heatsink from Venus XP-SD1266 to Dark Knight SD1283 for better cooling and performance. HOWEVER, the thing is... how much better is the Dark Knight SD1283 Heatsink? :confused: If there is performance and better cooling, I will take out...

    EA to go 100% Digital, Calls NPD 'Irrelevant'

    EA This, EA that... Seriously, I stopped buying their product 2 years ago (accept burnout paradise). They are blabbering like gits with their mouth open for flies to lay their eggs. Need For Speed is getting crappier everyday, accept for burnout paradise. I still play that game... Need For...

    Switching your IP to OpenDNS. Best move I ever made, pros and cons inside.

    I did that way before you did... :D It's the best DNS client - better than Comodo Secure DNS!

    [HELP] Installing Firepro + ATi Radeon in one system...

    Yes, it will work. BUT, there is a hitch... ;) 1.] Your Dual-Boot partition: 'System Reserve' needs to be extended from 100MB > 230MB. Why? We are dealing with 2 x Windows 7 OS (64-Bit). 2.] Your 'System Reserved' partition needs to be on it's own. You cannot delete that partition and stick...

    [HELP] Installing Firepro + ATi Radeon in one system...

    Oh really, really? :rolleyes: If you have 2 copies of Windows 7, you can use Acronis to create backup of your dual-boot (reserve partition) and EasyBCD to run both without hassle... EasyBCD (Use it when there are 2 copies of Windows 7) "Add an Entry" > Windows Tab > Vista/7 dropdown >...
