The "Quick Questions that does not Deserve a Thread"...Thread. V3 - Hardware & Software

But it's gotten louder, in the beginning there was way less to zero.

Run furmark on it overnight or something and let it burn in more, if it's still an issue, email the manu.

MSI doesn't do RMA. They don't even have warranty.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;37736919]MSI doesn't do RMA. They don't even have warranty.[/QUOTE] Uh, Austria is a EU member state and as such has a two year minimum warranty on all electronics.

I didn't see an Apple thread so I guess I'll ask here, I'm still on an iPod touch Gen 2, would it be worth it to upgrade to gen 4 now or wait for Gen 5 this October?

[editline]20th September 2012[/editline] And then sell me your 2nd gen for cheap cause I need a new iPod...

Anyone know any good desktop skinner like rainmeter, but that allows you to edit skins on-the-go? I really want a nice looking note skin but the ones for Rainmeter requires you to open a file to write your stuff down and then save it (probably because that is how RM works anyway).

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37736990]Uh, Austria is a EU member state and as such has a two year minimum warranty on all electronics.[/QUOTE] Well I looked at their page and it says there that they only do warranty and RMA for business customers. So IDK. Also I don't think the shop will necessarily accept coil whine as a reason.

[editline]20th September 2012[/editline] This is 7 workdays from receiving, not shipping.

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;37736534]How would I go about finding whether or not my Windows Product keys are valid or not?[/QUOTE] I need an answer to this pretty soon, I don't want to order parts for a PC that I don't know if I can license properly I would feel stupid for selling a PC with linux or a trial Win7 on it.

Okay, so I just bought my new Samson Meteor Mic, I plugged it into my computer and it said: "USB Device not recognised.", can somebody help me out with this please? Would be really nice!

[QUOTE=tratzzz;37734695]Click on the link and then right click. The javascript is for full-screening the pic.[/QUOTE] That's what I tried in the first place, it didn't work. It just opens some slideshow thing, and right clicking that gives me the javascript thing.

need a new graphics card, nvidia, under 200 any ideas?

[QUOTE=kaukassus;37738714]did you install the driver thats on a CD that came with your mic? if not, then download the driver from the internet (newer version) and install it.[/QUOTE] There was no CD in the package, and I tried searching for the drivers but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Anyone got a Corsair K90, They look sexy as shit and all but has anyone got and lived with one?

[QUOTE=Matt W;37739187]Anyone got a Corsair K90, They look sexy as shit and all but has anyone got and lived with one?[/QUOTE] I've had one for a few months. I love it. Feels great to type on. I sound silly but, it feel more mechanical. Like it's made from something real, not gummy like my G510. It looks amazing as well. The wrist wrest is rather low, but is made of a nice rubber/plastic hybrid that looks new after like 3 months and cleans well. It has no key basin so it's also very easy to clean. It's also very bright, but the extra membrane keys are not as bright. The G keys are white LED backlit.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;37739440] [B] I sound silly but, it feels more mechanical.[/QUOTE] [/B] Well, Maybe its cause the keyboard IS a mechanical keyboard? Nah nevermind, that would make too much sense.

I think your post gave me brain cancer. I was explaining the sensation in typing on something with structured, engineered parts. Not the fact that it's a mechanical keyboard.

YouTube buffers really slowly since reinstalling windows why :(

I bought a TI85 for $5. Is there something cool I can do with it? I already have a TI84 so it doesn't matter what happens to it.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;37739654]I think your post gave me brain cancer. I was explaining the sensation in typing on something with structured, engineered parts. Not the fact that it's a mechanical keyboard.[/QUOTE] I don't see how but I get your point. Also what the hell do I cut plexiglass with?

I just got a wifi router from a friend for out in my garage but it doesn't have the antennas...it has space for three but if I use one will it be fine? [editline]20th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zerokateo;37740309] Also what the hell do I cut plexiglass with?[/QUOTE] With the right blade you can use almost anything...I used a circular saw for cutting a quick plexiglass window for my old truck

[editline]20th September 2012[/editline] Well at my disposal I have a skill saw, table saw, jigsaw, reciprocating saw and a shitty dremel. With the right blade you can use almost anything...I used a circular saw for cutting a quick plexiglass window for my old truck[/QUOTE]

I'd use the jig saw....but drop by a hardware store and make sure you have the right blade...you'll need a starter hole unless going from the edge of the sheet of plexiglass

I'll see if the hardware store will cut it first but if its too much or they don't do it then I'll use a jigsaw.

[QUOTE=trotskygrad;37738707]need a new graphics card, nvidia, under 200 any ideas?[/QUOTE] The GTX 550Ti is a great card to start off with if your needing something for Games. It's held me off until I got my GTX 570HD yesterday. I'm think that you could get a GTX 560 (Maybe even a Ti). I'd pull it up myself but the internet now is running slower than a Mexican Donkey.

560 ti is under $200 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127616[/url] Heres a list [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=560%20ti&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20[/url] I highly suggest this one though [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127594[/url]

Whisper quiet and rock solid performance, even in a black case in the morning sun on a 30 degree day under full load with some minor overclocking. That particular non reference cooling solution has earned it's merit badge in my books. Several times over.
