Re: AMD Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 CrossFire Video Card Reviews

Nice write-up, but I'm not very impressed with the card. It's a good thing I'm not in the market for a new card quite yet! At $369 the AMD Radeon HD 6970 is priced to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 and we have to say the two cards traded blows. Why did you say the cards "blow" a f...

Re: WD Caviar Black 1.5TB Issues.

One last thing that I noticed. The transfer rate from my Seagate to the WD is now improved significantly! I'm transferring all of the data that I previously put on it, and it's going at roughly 85-100 MB/s. Yay!!!!!! I'm happy once again!

Re: WD Caviar Black 1.5TB Issues.

If anything this sounds like a controller issue to me. What southbridge does your computer have? Have you tried looking for updated chipset drivers? Here is what CPU-Z says about the chipset: cpuz.jpg There is only one chipset driver from 9/18/09, and I'm pretty sure it's what I have installed even...

Re: WD Caviar Black 1.5TB Issues.

I actually did update the BIOS, thinking that was my issue w/ the POST lagging when trying to detect it, but no dice. I'll try a full reformat in a few moments. I'm just moving the data from this WD to a Seagate for the time being. My ultimate goal is to have: 1x 60 GB SSD - OS Only Drive 1x 1.5 TB ...

Re: WD Caviar Black 1.5TB Issues.

Skier, I'm honestly not sure. I wasn't really watching the benchmarks. hehe This is all on a 100% fresh install of Windows 7 Professional, which I installed on my 60GB OCZ Agility 2. I have no performance issues on any of my drives, but the WD Caviar Black. It jumps up and down so bad, and I don't f...

WD Caviar Black 1.5TB Issues.

I'm having some troubles with my new HDD. I picked up a 1.5 TB WD Caviar Black from NewEgg, and it was a pain in the arse to get the BIOS to see it. Well, it's seeing it, Windows sees it, I can read and write from it. But I've noticed performance issues... I decided to run HD Tune and see what was g...

Re: ADATA S596 128GB JMicron JMF612 SSD Review

Interesting write-up. I've been highly interested in an SSD for a while, but I don't think I want to pony up the cash for one quite yet. This would be a contender of my choices, though!

Re: Project: Water Cooling

I have spent the last hour reconfiguring everything, and discovered my main problem that I am amazed I did not see: the pump was not positioned properly, so the coolant was being pumped against gravity. Now, the coolant is flowing as it should, and the CPU is running at about 45 C. Again, thank you...

Damn, I must be getting too into this whole married thing, but those were some of the least attractive booth babes I've ever seen. If these were the hot ones, I'd hate to see the rest. On a side note, good layout though. lol... yea, they weren't the best that I've seen at E3 or any other convention...
