I can't go catless either, but still will ;)

Just head over to Youtube to hear your car with different exhaust setups. Just take note that any minor differences will change their sound like CAI,...

Haha suep up the T-Bird, that's funny.

Yea, Ford 4.6s are really easy to work on and deal with.

What kind of sound are you going for? Flowmaster 40 series is kind of like a growl where as...

They should just be clamped on. Just take the sensor out, unbolt, put new in, bolt new clasp in, done. Should only take 2 jack stands in the front.

If your exhaust isn't rusted you could have done those. If it is, blast the crap with PB Blaster.

DDR4 is rather close. Late 2014 and 2015 should start showing signs of DDR4 product. I don't expect DDR3 prices to lower again between now and then. Maybe fluctuate and go on sale, but that's about...

Had to sell it. And I think I fixed my problem by messing with settings in the CCC. I'm also considering selling my G930s, not because I need to, but because I want to. I may go with the Corsair...

Well, a lot happened in the past week. I now don't have the rig in my sig anymore. Everything except the RAM and 2 HDDs is gone. I was using an 8400GS (that crashed, a lot) but a friend of mine who I...

That's games install. My 2TB drive is a games storage drive. As in, filled completely with nothing but ISOs and a folder full of no cd cracks, patches, trainers, mods, ect. I can't risk something...

RAID 5 has a parity drive so you don't lose your data if a drive goes down. You just replace it and the array is rebuilt. The only downfall is you lose the space you may have had in a standard setup...

Of course I know that, or else I wouldn't say I would use it.
The only reason I would ever use RAID 0 on my storage drives is if I wanted to combine 2 drives for a higher total storage for one...

The fact that I have to take an extra couple of minutes to setup the array in the bios, then show Windows the drivers, ect ect is too much for me. When I'm talking storage drives I don't need RAID...

I have my picture collection backuped up so that isn't a big deal. RAID is too much of a PITA for me to deal with so I avoid it and my friend who copied 6TB of data from me realized this while he was...

I wasn't saying you should do it, as I'm opposed to RAID for storage :p

Even though, in RAID5 you have a parity drive. If one goes out, just replace it and rebuild.

For movie and TV storage I...

Indeed. That's why my friend bought 4. He bought 2 at regular price then saw they went on sale and bought 2 more. Must be nice.

There is only a 50 dollar difference between a Seagate 3tb and 4TB currently on Newegg. That's cheaper than a single 1TB drive.

I pretty much told him it's retarded because he is missing out on about 6TB of space, but whatever floats his boat. I'm not a fan of RAID either.

I'm now learning the ins and outs of MSSQL. Yay :rolleyes:

Just helped my friend put together a 16TB RAID 5 array with 4 4TB Seagate drives (~10 usable). Having every single WD drive die on me and every Seagate one work flawlessly I tend to go with them....

I'm glad I haven't had to worry about that for 7 years now :)

I only had enough milk this morning for one cup of coffee. Heads will roll.

WHQL for 7990, and I'm guessing betas keep rolling for that latency issue.

So as I posted in the game forum, a new Descent reboot project is in the works called Sol Contingency. I'm happy to say I'm now a part of this by donating CPU time.

No, not that I'm aware of. I'm just talking about over the course of the past year or so. A lot of important threads got deleted over time due to inactivity like the benchmark threads and such (minus...

Yea I think it was Victor who deleted the main OT thread on accident and a few other dead ones. I think the rest the forum auto deletes.

Started out being called Descent to UDK but the official name is SOL Contingency. It's basically a team making Descent in the UE3. It will be new, and not a remake of the older games from what they...

Idk. Back in October I made a thread about the Descent reboot and it got deleted. Have more info on it but figured why bother?

Mr thread deleter went through and deleted a lot of threads lol.

I have a feeling I'll still want to be that way in my 50s like my dad.

Yup. I want to make a new thread but I'm afraid it'll get deleted just like that last one I made with the same topic :o

So I have a really good friend. His first day on the job at Medhost (he quit NCR) he was poking around for positions to put me in. Should receive more info on NCR today.

NCR is back on peeps. Their 2014 fiscal has been approved and I'll be getting an interview from a manager who has a whole team that wants me on, and is as straight forward as I am. Maybe I won't have...

What he linked before was insulating foam. It's used on sub-zero cooling setups.

I wasn't aware styrofoam was anti-static. I thought it was always just a cheap common sense packaging material and the bag was the anti-static device since it covers the product.

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&ie=UTF-8#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=july+22&oq=july+22&gs_l=serp.3..0l4.17910.18946.0.19169.7.7.0.0.0.0.78.413.7.7.0.crnk_rr..0.0...1.1.8.psy-ab....

No he's talking about that styrofoam type substance they use under the motherboard in the anti-static bag.

IMO Bank of America is worse. I can deal with ****ty games, I hate it when banks steal from me. Yes, I had a very bad experience with them.

That is incredibly disgusting.

Never worth the trouble IMO. It would be my luck somebody decides to say my cards don't work and try to screw me over.

I wish my 580s would sell. I found a couple 7950s for sell locally, 250 a pop.

Sounds like you're good to go then. Still getting the belt chirp?

Where is the needle at? Should be half way mark once it's warmed up.

Needs to go the other way. Water cools better than anti-freeze. It's what I was trying to say before.

By hotter, what do you mean hotter? Needle should be anywhere around 195-210.

I appreciate what you're trying to do. I'm afraid proper product reviews get washed out by all the brainless idiots who post nonsense on there.

My Facebook post is relevant to that, and what I'm about to say.

Dijiorno pizza is overrated BS.

You can make bank doing this, easily.

I have a friend who makes bank off HDDs from EDS (Electronic Discount Sales, small business here in the DFDub). He goes and buys enterprise drives that are a...

Thank you!

More like, maturity, compromise, and lots of talking. All of those will equate to the best time management. I have seen some young parents literally make excuses to not change their kid and make the...

Yes. That is why every single SSD tutorial says to turn them off. Search, Indexing, pagefile, offline files, ect. Anything that can do a ton of read/writes in a short period of time will do it. Older...

We had fever and upset stomach last week. It wasn't pleasant. I suggest getting with the wife to form some sleep schedule so you can both get sleep while maintaining watch and the kids.

Are you disabling services/pagefile and all the sorts for your HTPC like you would your main rig?

Yea, just posted locally. Wont ever happen, but figured I'd try. Both my cards for a single 7970 lol. Realized all I play anymore is emulators, old games, and Skyrim. Skyrim likes AMD, so figured the...

THe only Powercolor cards on Newegg are the GHz Tahiti LE cards.
I've actually been considering selling my modded 360, and my i5 setup to get a pair of 7950s. Skyrim likes AMD better it appears,...

I'd give up my 580s for a couple of 7870 GHz edition.

LOL well bottom line, 2 cards should max the game at good FPS.

There are many different types of AA. SSAA is super sampling. A common type. Another type normally used is MSAA which is multi-sampling. It taxes the GPU harder than SSAA. Then you have FXAA which is...

Looks like it'll fit, and it's the other way around even though they do have 16xAA most games only support up to 8x. Let me reinstall and check to see if my FPS number was for 2x or 8xAA. You should...

If you got another one you would be doing 60+ FPS. I am with TressFX on.

The little assassin says Happy Easter to all!

I do believe he was being sarcastic about the picture on my dekstop. Btw, that's not my hand :p
The plastic bag had the 6 pack my Smirnoff came from.

LOL you can't even see anything on that picture though. I've had worse desktops at LANs before hehe.
I should mention, this pic was taken when I was still single.

I used to have a plastic Nvidia cup that I used all the time. Not sure exactly where that went.
This one.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v701/pp_mguire/DSCN0311-1.jpg

Yea, those hoses on the intake are the same area where the oil build up was on the Cavalier. Obviously different car, but same thing. She went 50k miles without an oil change and it tossed oil into...

Lol AMD cup.

Actually those you pictures are quite obvious. Oil blow by can be common when an engine isn't cleaned and maintained regularly. The first hose pictured is coming right off the valve cover, and the...

Normal for buildup like that over time on an engine that hasn't ever been cleaned. At least that's what I've been told.

Which game are you referring to? If BF4, then no. It looks almost exactly like BF3 with minor differences. There are some serious graphical issues they needed to work on and could have fixed with the...

Yea like I said, it's double slot.

Well what is sad for me, is the Battlefield series (not the spin offs like 2142 or Bad Company) is one of my favorite FPS games. The difference between 1942 and 2, then 2 to 3 were all huge. Obvious...

Yea it's going to be their carry over until the next gen. I like how it's still double slot, but reference is triple fan to keep it cool.

Well if I'm going to be the only one to actually take care of her then we wont be a pet owner for very much longer.

Am I the only one who realizes this is the exact same BS as BF3 and that EA/Dice is turning it into the new CoD?

I predicted that with less than 2 years worth of development that the graphics and...

A stomach bug, and Ezio got it last night. I had to stay up all night to make sure he didn't choke on puke. While all this was going on our new puppy decided to forget all of her potty training. I...

Yup.

Since the screenshot thread was deleted I'll just post this here.
...

Almost.

That is due to the current Intel PCH only supporting 2 SATA3 ports natively. Boards with more on them have another controller.

Or it could be falsely reporting and nothing is actually wrong.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly
So if I recall correctly PCI devices and any devices that share IRQs can cause latency issues. I heard some reports of certain PCI wireless adapters causing higher DPC....

I've been sick. This sucks.

I worked DirecTV for a few months and swapped out a few cable boxes. I never saw a box with firewire on it.

I can't help you there as I never look at mine ever. IIRC PCI devices and any IRQ sharing devices can cause high DPC as well.

People claim different things, I've seen different things. Every car group has different preferences like getting specific brands for Mustangs and whatnot. The people with severe engine problems from...

Specific plugs aren't required on cars, just certain cars run better on certain plugs. That goes all the way down to the classic cars too. I had to run Autolite double plat in my old 68 Mustang...

I guess it depends on your year and exact model, but the belt tensioner for a 2000 Accord EX is 26 bucks more than for the 4.6. Sparks are the same, belt is more on the 4.6, but it's also for a V8...

4.6 Ford? Parts are stupid cheap man. 2 bucks a pop for spark plugs, 17 for each pulley, hoses are a couple of bucks if you just cut them yourself.

Thing will run a ridiculously long time if it's...

Honestly, I would rent the pulley tools from Autozone (if you don't have them) and replace the idler and tension pulleys together.

+1 to tensioner.

Currently trying to get more achievements on some of my 360 games but I just get bored trying.

Actually, that's limited to boards that support the 45nm chips. The e5400 is Wolfdale so any board that supports the e8400 will support it.

Like I said, much better.

Faster P4 vs slower e5300.

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/92?vs=98

The e5400 is much better. It's based on Core 2 arch, dual core, runs cooler, and higher IPC.

Handbrake uses more than 1 thread for me, but it doesn't use the CPU fully.

360? Should be on PC.

You can always just use an object command and spawn a bunch. I did that in Oblivion and put a ton of watermelons in somebodies house.

I've been on another old school kick since I got the new...

Yea, because nobody uses trains anymore.....owait.

Playing Freespace 2. Finally got a new joystick so I decided to actually finish this one. I never did before because it got ridiculously difficult to finish missions properly on the hard setting. I...

Mechical drives by themselves can't even saturate SATA1. 2 in RAID0 will be 100% fine on SATA2.

Even SATA3 SSDs on SATA2 ports are rather quick still.

Touch your case.

Recap:
0.5 Mechanical Pencil for pin straightening.

That's about as far as we got lol.

Had something to say when I came here the last time but forgot what it was.
