    HyperX Cloud Alpha

    Can't seem to make a final decision on which one to get... these or the Sennheiser GSP 301 From the review these look like something from another planet compared to everything else. In Portugal the Sennheiser GSP 301 can be had for abour 70€ while the HyperX Cloud Alpha are not for sale yet and...

    SSD problems

    I don't get bad sectors on the new drive, and surprisingly after the secure erase windows chkdsk doesn't detect bad sectors either. I am now using the old OCZ Agility 3 on my 7 year old laptop (with SATA 1 lool) with a fresh W10 install for 2 days and nothing has gone wrong so far. I don't...

    SSD problems

    Thank you all for the replies! I tried different SATA cable and the problem was the same, BSODS, hangs, all the bad stuff. I already updated the firmware to the latest one, I have no more updates to do. I did not secure erase though... As for PSU, I don't think it's the problem, since I have a...

    SSD problems

    Hey guys! From time to time my 3 year old OCZ Agility 3 would freeze and refuse to appear on the BIOS. It could only be awaken by cutting the power from the wall and starting the computer again. It all was "fine" until I started to get some weird hangs doing stupid tasks like browsing the web...

    Advice: Real Benefit from Faster SSD?

    man you seriously need this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onetab/chphlpgkkbolifaimnlloiipkdnihall whenever you click the button it collapses all tabs into one list, and you can have multiple lists of tabs. I for one was like you, but my memory was complaining a lot, so i found this...

    Microsoft to Revamp Activation System with Windows 9

    You sir made my day. THIS! I would totally love to migrate from windows to Ubuntu... but no one wants to support gaming on that, all good titles stuck in freaking .NET that are a pain to port properly to linux based systems. And even if you make it, then some update comes, and it starts all...

    KingSpec 2.5 GB/s PCIe SSD Detailed

    I was impressed with Fusion-IO when they showcased this beast last year bragging about their 1 million IOPS. EDIT: the price is also ridiculous -> 100k for the 5TB model and 130k for the 10TB one :eek:

    AMD Posts Catalyst 13.8 Beta, Fixes CrossFire Frame Latency

    Oh that is a different story then. It would be nice if someone using this driver with X-Fire can confirm the overheating you are experiencing.

    AMD Posts Catalyst 13.8 Beta, Fixes CrossFire Frame Latency

    It happens to me also, but my XFX card is so buggy (don't know why) that the fan goes mad every driver/OS change. In the experiments I have done, two things can happen. Or the fan doesn't spin higher at higher temps and stays at 50% all time or it spins higher at higher temps but too slow to...

    AMD Posts Catalyst 13.8 Beta, Fixes CrossFire Frame Latency

    Hardocp review is useless and has no rep, at least for me. They measure the latency in fraps (which was explained by many people has being totaly misleading in frame latency measures), and they should measure it with FCAT as provided by Nvidia to some reviewers. I let you have a good read at...
