Threads are being deleted? :/ I can assure you its not me... I haven't been online on this forum for a while, just came on today to see what's going on.

PM_DMNKLR, I did my best to get you what you won. You received two packages from Kingston already. Still didn't get one prize you were suppose to get, but still got more than what you were suppose to...

Yeah, there is no real reason why not to use Windows 8. Now with Start 8, or "classic shell" out along with many other free based start menu implementations, you can turn your Windows 8 into a...

PM_DMNKLR, I'll try to check on the issue, but first I'd like to see what those other three guys got to see if there was a mixup.

I heard it has some weird elements to it, like it was shot at 48FPS, instead of 24FPS standard, so it looks very smooth and more unreal and easy to notice fake scenes and such. What did you guys...

In all honesty, I'm not 100% sure how the last prize is suppose to be given away, because there are apparently 3 flash drives and 3 other flash drives that are for friend and family, but I don't know...

probably clicked the wrong download link? I constantly check my system, nothing got infected, and no spyware or malware to be found.

I'll let them know. Don't worry, you'll get it. :) They must have forgotten by accident.

Don't let me unleash my overclocked system, and the 3960X!!! :P

Slapped that into the test bench, and using the 3820 in my main system that I don't mess around with that much.

It's ok, I'm just running a stock i7-3820 right now with no OC to any part of my PC.

Specs for the results:

Intel Core i7-3820 (Stock)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 2GB (Stock)
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX...

I'll give this a try, looks interesting!

Haha, Merry Christmas guys!

So the two lucky winners: Pablo54, and CDsDon'tBurn.

CDs is our first winner to be randomly picked again. He won earlier on November 14th. Lucky bas*ard! We have one...

I'm a bit late here, but Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays as well. I hope you guys are having fun and enjoying a little bit of the break from all the work throughout the year.

And she also got Bronchitis! :P

Who's ready for the winners!? Haha. :)

Very nice, now to complete the system, you need an SSD.

You should watch it. Go on Watchseries.eu, you can stream from there. Not the bests quality, but its fine. It's SD quality. BTW, if you haven't played "The Walking Dead" video game on steam. You...

I'll have the alcohol ready. Ready to drink the pain away. :P You know what I mean.

Congrats Cody_Irwin! Santa picked you as the lucky ramdom winner of the SVP200S37A/120G – V+200 120gb SSD. Hope everyone's Holiday Season will be full of joy and nice presents! :)

Still three more...

LOL, PC... F consoles!

It's nice to see some of you guys posting pictures about the prizes you guys won! We can all be thankful for Kingston being so nice and sponsoring this giveaway with Bjorn3D this year to bring a nice...

And the last lucky random winner of the year for the Diamond Multimedia Contest is: Najiro. Congratulations! Hope all of you guy's Holiday Season will be full of love and happiness, even if you...

Congrats son the baby! :)

And no idea about Blacksmith, he disappeared.

Our latest winner is PM_DMNKLR! Congrats, you have just won the SDX10V/64GB – Class 10 SDXC Card 64gb and FCR-MLG3 – MobileLite G3 3.0 Reader.

And the lucky winner for the TAB360B is James86. You lucky bastar*, the second contest this month! You know the drill to claim the prize. Congrats!

Good luck guys, keep entering, there is still a...

Congrats Brokenwave, Aoshi, and Goliath182. You guys will all get two prizes (DTSE9H/8GBZ and DTSE9), one to share with a lucky family member or friend. :)

As far as the contest goes, we just...

Just like the Kingston Contest, I'll announce the winners sometime today in the afternoon. Have a final today that I'm still catching up on, and then we'll choose a lucky winner. :)

Hey Guys, I'll announce the winners tomorrow afternoon. Finals week this week for me and lots of materials to cover, but after tomorrow afternoon, it should be better, because I have Wednesday off.

He's running 64GB now. That's the difference, but yes, that's the system in the sig.

I actually did was a legit Intel OEM board with a Pentium II processor still in it under water, but since that system was so ancient anyways, and was super dusty too, I figured, oh well. I'm not...

Exactly!

Very nice system, just needs some tidying up, like you said! :)

Haha, alright James86. :) Stay a good boy! :P

As far as taking care of hardware, I wonder how many of us would try this:...

eh, some people look at hardware as if they were a holy grail of some sort. I look at it as an valuable object that you have to take care of, but not necessarily pamper. As long as there is no static...

technically you can get oils from you skin on the gold contacts and deteriorate it over time as certain sweat like chemicals can corrode the contacts causing failures or problems in the future. You...

yes, but the filter is weird. :/ Oh well, Congrats again James86. Don't disappoint Santa!

because it could be interpreted as a cus word. I guess...

Hoo Hoo Hoo... European Santa is here (For those that don't know, Santa comes on the 6th in Europe, instead of Christmas), and he chose one good boy to give away the Kingston 120GB HyperX 3K SSD to....

We get review products and we work hard to bring you guys reviews. We put days and weeks worth of work into a single review to just keep that single product we get. :)

And the winner of the 120GB HyperX 3K SSD is peti1212. Congratulations peti1212, you deserve it!
Just kidding. :P I wish I could win that SSD, but I'll announce the winners sometime tomorrow. :)...

Congrats TehYoyo. You just won the BVU195, USB External Video Display Adapter from Diamond Multimedia! :) Send me a PM or email to contest1 (at) bjorn3d (dot) com with your full name, address and...

Competition is still open! Will choose winners shortly!

That is pretty sweet and I like the fact that it can be any monitor and doesn't have to be specific to the other ones. I will have to give this a try in the future, though the game support is very...

Neither of those options... nuff said!

Lol, calm down guys. While it's amusing a bit to read this, lets try to keep the trolling down. :P

LOL, haha

On another note, I've heard of some people, including my friend who had the exact same problem. It was just gone, and you couldn't use it.

Exactly. APUs, and apparently ARM based processors... ARM is still new and they are working on it, but we'll see in the next few years.

werty, I don't think it should be a problem. I'll talk to them and see if they can substitute. As far as I know they shouldn't have a problem with it. Congrats

Yeah, CDsDontBurn is only a few miles from Kingston so that's why he got it today. I say most of you guys will receive it by the end of the week. :)

Either way, Congratulations to werty316 for...

Eh, I don't really care much about the startup performance. I like my applications to load quick, which is why I have both the OS and applications on the SSD, and everything else on a HDD.

They won't! They already gave up competing with Intel and are heading a completely different route.

Hey Guys,

I have a few coolers I will be testing in the next few weeks. What do you guys want me to test about them, when it comes to cooing potential and performance, what benchmarks to use? etc....

Do any one of the new members want to share their systems for fun? :)

Intel SRT is usually used with small SSDs, such as 20GB-64GB SSDs, just because it would be hard to put an OS on such small SSD, it will just cache the most used files onto the SSD over time and...

He did reply yesterday, just for those that were wondering.

Ok, got confirmation from Kingston that they shipped out all the prizes till now, today! Stay tuned, and enjoy your prizes. If you'd like, we'd like to see some pictures of the prizes you guys have...

Yep, Humble Bundle's are awesome. I signed up for their newsletter about a year or two ago, when they first started it and I've been getting every bundle thy put out since. Fun games!

Congrats Khangdan1992 for winning the SDX10V/32GB – Class 10 SDXC Card 64gb And FCR-MLG3 – MobileLite G3 3.0 Reader! I'm jealous. I want more SDXC cards. I have Kingston's oldest 64GB SDXC card, it's...

I know several people that used to work for EVGA, and they do not work for them anymore. They used to be in other departments, not technical support, and one of the people that I know that still...

I'm actually forwarding the information today/tomorrow. Hopefully we'll hear from today's winner and then I can forward it with that information.

Drum roll please!!! :)

Congratulations to sifter and adrail for winning the MSPBT200B, Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speakers!

Please check back here and email me your information so we could...

Yeah, stupid stuff. I don't believe it, just like to make jokes with it. :)

Thanks guys for the current submissions. I'll choose the winners as soon as I have a little breathing time today. Crazy stuff I have to deal with, max unit extensions at my university because I will...

"This Holiday season, I’d really love to win a prize from Diamond Multimedia, because I'm a bauss." Man, wish I could enter, some sweet prizes, but good luck to you guys! :)

Congratulations goes to Joshua_Mahr for winning the WID/64GB-A – 64gb Wi-Drive.



You never know Saryn, you might just be the next winner? We'll see, it's randomly chosen from all the active...

You guys see a trend here with EVGA cards? And this is why they don't do reviews nowadays, only with certain sites. They say "people know us, why spend money on samples if its not required", though...

Hey guys, I'll announce the winner sometime today. I'm super busy all day, with new semester starting for me at College and having to register for classes, having a test, needing a haircut, etc. So...

Here is mine: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2331246895.png

The higher speed is due to Turbo Boost, cause I'm only paying for the 10Mbps Down and 1Mbps Up.

Torchlight II or the other game? Torchlight II doesn't have crazy graphics. I'm playing on triple monitor setup at 6040x1080 maxed out without any lags, but I'm running on a GTX 690. Either way, you...

haha...

James... oh my gosh... I have some time to play right now due to Thanksgiving and man, Torchlight 2 is awesome! I have 5 hours on it right now and i'm hoooked! Thanks buddy!

Haha, I am proud of my Tower Wars achievements, I got 16/19 at the moment, and 2 of them I believe that I don't have are the "Defeat the developers" type achievements, because I'm never teamed up...

ah, so you did actually use your real picture as your avatar. I thought that monkey pic was just a random avatar of yours. :P LOL, please don't take my joke seriously. haha

Congratulations to ryandigweed for winning the SVP200S37A/120G – Kingston V+200 120gb SSD. :) ryandigweed, follow the instructions in the main article about the contest to send me an email with your...

That is pretty cool. I kind of want some!

Umm... a tablet, but probably won't cause I don't have money, but otherwise... foxmobouser's signature pic describes it well. :P

http://img1.jurko.net/avatar_13683.gif

If you know what I mean!...

I tested DP with Surround and it works without a problem with just a standard display cable.

I never fully got why you need an Active cable for eyefinity while Surround works with just about any cable you can find in any combination. Anybody know the answer to that?

If you win, you will need a US/Canada address.

I do. I don't care whether its Metro or Start Menu. I know shortcuts to both and how to navigate quick, and organize. It actually helps me keep my most used software organized and it helps me keep my...

That's right! Bjorn3D just teamed up with Diamond Multimedia to bring you yet another fantastic Holiday Giveaway! This cold...

I think PP is smoking the grass again... Just kidding PP... if you look closer the tubing goes outside the case, so he could have a dual or triple rad there.

Congratulations goes to foxmobouser, who just won the HyperX red - 8GB (2x 4GB) Memory Kit - DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMM.

Next up is a 120GB V+200 SSD that one lucky winner will take away this upcoming...

LOL, I'm surprised the baby did not come out black. :P Hopefully I did not insult you PP with that joke. :P

From all the testing I have done my list is bellow numbered by how I would choose if had to and while it is important to stay unbiased in reviews when checking out hardware, here is my ranking from...

As far as I know you cannot use a x86 (32-Bit) key on a x64 install. Even if you would torrent or get x64 through some legal way, I don't think you could activate it. Only reason why I'm saying this...

hahaha

Damn, I kind of want it just cause it's so cheap, but would I use it? :P That's another question.

yep, FRAPS is free, but limited. Full version is not limited.

ryan, a high-performance SSD, like the one I'm using, the Kingston HyperX 240GB 5K with no additional hardware or anything that would slow the system down can get you into Windows 8 in about 15-17...

You're right!

CONGRATULATIONS goes to CDsDontBurn, you won the Kingston 32GB Wi-Drive. Enjoy it man! :)

Up next, we have a KHX16C9B1RK2/8 - HyperX red - 8GB Kit (2x4GB) - DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMM...

You are one super strange looking person Scott.. :P jk.



They are all asian because the show is held in Taipei, Taiwan. Sometimes you can see some white girls there as booth babes, but it's...

Its OK, most people will not find them appealing, well at least here in the US. I had a few Asian girlfriends just cause I happened to have a click with them, and ever since there has been a yellow...

Oh Man, COMPUTEX.... best show from the shows I've been to! You've been around for a while, might remember my booth babe articles. :P lol.

I really want to go as well, we'll see how it turns out...

Shannon is here, he just hasn't realized the awesomeness of the close friends we got here at Bjorn3D. :P So he hasn't posted much. We should get him on here. :P

I've known the dude for a bit...

Haha...

Haha, nope, I'm not Shannon Robb, he's our extreme overclocker. :P I'm just the guy that gives sh*t to everyone in our staff. :P. I'm Peter btw.

Edit: Oh man, CDs. I just realized I actually know...
