CIPWTTKT&GC v0x14 (v20): Turning it off and on all day every day - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;37156990]It's surprisingly useful actually. Apart from volume control, i got backward on media players (mostly spotify), audio mute and one unused. Mic mute got a separate button[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=latin_geek;37158818]And using buttons on the outside of your headset looks cool as hell[/QUOTE] Are we talking about the G930/G35? I have a G930 and it's the best headset I've ever owned, although the fake leather on the earcups started to crack about a month ago (16 months after I got it) so I opened a Logitech support ticket and asked for replacement pads, but they wanted to replace the whole thing (but they covered shipping via a prepaid UPS label), so I sent it off and just got the replacement Tuesday, the whole process taking under 2 weeks. I'm on vacation now so I had a friend grab it for me until I'm back. [editline]9th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=ProWaffle;37159030]Wait, what's wrong with the stock cooler that Intel ships? I get good temperatures on mine.[/QUOTE] Because a $30 aftermarket one will drop your temps by another 10-20 degrees C (more if you're really pushing an OC and use good paste like MX-4)

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;37158848']I wonder what it would be like going from a q6600 at 3GHZ to a 3570k[/QUOTE] I went from a stock Q6600 to a 2600k. [img]http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/joshnf/joshnf0902/joshnf090200013/4332477-young-boy-being-blown-away-by-high-speed-air.jpg[/img]

I went from stock Q6600 to 3570K. Doesn't make much difference than going from a GTX 460 to GTX 670.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;37158848']I wonder what it would be like going from a q6600 at 3GHZ to a 3570k[/QUOTE] I dunno, but going from a Core 2 Duo to an IB i7 is pretty fucking sweet.

Athlon XP 2000+ to a Q6600. It was quite awesome. Soon I will be going from a Q6600 to either an Ivy i7 or 2x SB-EP Xeon. It will be quite awesome.

[QUOTE=David Tennant;37159614][img]http://puu.sh/Qg2v[/img] Ok steam whatever you say.[/QUOTE] How...

[QUOTE=David Tennant;37158965]Is it 2011 or 1155 that's now 'dead'? I thought it was 1155 and 2011 still had the 22nm 6 and 8 cores coming out soonish, but someone said otherwise. On another note, we should get a H&S post yourself going, I'd like to see who I'm speaking to, it'll probably end up with loads of pictures of BRT though.[/QUOTE] 1155, I too thought about getting a 2011 3930k which has 6 cores. Im going to buy one later maybe.

Noone embed terapixel BRT, It'll crash my tethering!

Someone should attempt a yottapixel BRT. My 6GB of ram and triple core athlon II barely managed the terapixel one.

benchmarks in the future will just be "does it run ntapixel BRT yes/no"

Speaking of benchmarks, I tried to run that Nvidia demo ([url=http://www.geforce.com/games-applications/pc-applications/a-new-dawn]A New Dawn[/url]) today. Seems to run at about 10-15fps, even at 1600x900. Granted, I didn't expect to max it out, since it requires dual GeForce 670s and I've just got a single 660M. I sort of wish I could turn the settings down on it besides just dropping the resolution.

Anyone else want more RAM just to fill their memory slots so it feels more full?

[QUOTE=David Tennant;37161579]Anyone else want more RAM just to fill their memory slots so it feels more full?[/QUOTE] Yes, not that I'd really have a use for all the RAM, so I wouldn't end up buying it. I want to though.

I have 12 empty slots and each one can take 4 GB. It'd take a while to fill all those.

[QUOTE=David Tennant;37161579]Anyone else want more RAM just to fill their memory slots so it feels more full?[/QUOTE] I want 4x8GB so I can just drop something like World of Warcraft on a RAMdisk and go through a portal to another continent and spend less than a second on the loading screen. Just bought Guild Wars 2, I can imagine the loading screens if I had the game on a RAMdisk. Oh god, chunk loading in Minecraft, that would be glorious.

[QUOTE=David Tennant;37161579]Anyone else want more RAM just to fill their memory slots so it feels more full?[/QUOTE] I had 16GB on my old mainboard, (4x4GB). Now I have 8 Slots. How could you not want to fill the other slots? I have good use for more RAM.
