I got to my second batch of steamed eggs yesterday. I steamed three eggs. One for 14, 15, and 16 minutes respectively. I ate the 14 minute egg for lunch yesterday. The yolk was fully cooked and consistent in texture all the way through unlike the 12 minute eggs. No dark ring in the yolk...

My buddy got two of them for stereo sound. They're decent enough in the quick listen I gave them.

Well, if it's a turd Canon will have to cut the price or revel in low sales if it really misses the mark. I don't really see the issue.

Well, why didn't you just say that before?

Someone wrote a piece about the list: http://thefederalist.com/2016/08/25/5-movies-critics-love-actually-complete-garbage/

That's not a very nice thing to say about your mom.

That's exactly what someone working for the CIA would say.

That's the CIA for you...

System Basis Chip?

Which is the same price as the 5D3 when it was introduced. Personally, I'm done buying DSLRs unless I have a significant change in my life situation. I wish the Nikon DL24-85 would launch already though.

So, the egg peeled easily, but so do most of my wrongly cooked eggs. The yolk wasn't quite cooked all the way through. The center was a bit orange and gooey compared to the outside of the yolk. There was no dark ring in the yolk. I will try steaming for 15 minutes next time as opposed to 12...

eBay or another forum, like Hardforum.

Yeah, buy a steamer. :p I have a steamer insert of sorts for a pot I have so I used that tonight to make 4 eggs. I'll take one for lunch tomorrow and see how it compares to my usual boiled in water (put in cold water) egg.

Well, the 4.5W TDP doesn't help. I'm not sure what percentage of video in a browser hardware accelerates under Windows 10.

I usually eat a hard boiled egg as part of my lunch. I decided to do a little internet searching to see if my cooking method was correct. Turns out I was doing it all wrong. I'll see how steaming compares.

Since I know everyone cares about the ideal way to cook (boil) an egg, I'll leave this right here: https://www.cooksillustrated.com/articles/168-easy-peel-hard-cooked-eggs

So I'm pretty sure I know why the Intel Core-M processor was a big goose egg for Intel. I've been using this Yoga 3 Pro for about 9 months now. It can't even play the typical web video back smoothly full screen. It's kind of sad really. Only videos that can be hardware accelerated play...

That's a good idea I hadn't really considered before. Clocker suggested the same. Yes, there is some room for that in the case. I'm not entirely sure where to put it for the lower rear exhaust fan, but I have some ideas for the top front one.

This is the thread for Time to flood with his wisdom on building a silent GTX 1080 based in a mini-ITX case so he can stay out of mine.

What did you think you were going to get when you drop in and try to tell me I'm doing it all wrong and am using the wrong case for the job? I didn't start a thread looking for blank slate case ideas, but I started one just for you. Here you go. Accurate, but totally non helpful. It still...

I watched Chappie over the weekend. I had only a very rough idea what the movie was about. Still it wasn't what I was expecting. I did enjoy it, but I'm not sure I'd say it was really good.

So you recommend me two mini-ITX cases that won't hold my gear. Perfect. Lets ignore that for a minute though. The Fractal Design Core 500 was slightly noisier, the SSHD and MB were considerably hotter, the GPU was 1C hotter, but spun the fan slower. The BitFenix Prodigy was slightly...

Uh... This is one of the best quiet cases for GPU thermals out there per SPCR. It was the best they tested that had optical drive bays, which I need. It's measurably better than the Antec P180 I started with and the GPU doesn't bake the CPU. I'm keeping the GPU under the throttling threshold...

I swapped the fans and did a little more testing. Some of the fans seem to have much more focused airflow. When using the fan with the most focused airflow up top in the front blowing in the GPU temps barely seem affected by the speed of the lower exhaust fan (no more than a 1C swing from...

So I got my 3-pin fan speed controller yesterday along with a few more 140mm fans. I did a little more testing late last night. With a different fan blowing into the case in the top front position I found no appreciable difference in the GPU temperature with the lower rear exhaust fan running...

My Fostex TH-X00 PurpleHeart headphones were delivered to my house yesterday. I brought them into the office to listen with. Generally speaking they sound good and are pleasant to listen to. They have more low end kick than the Audeze EL-8. On some tracks they can sound a tad boomy. I...

Only the ones that seem like they're about to break.

I was deemed unqualified to work in the Computer Services (IT) department at college, while other people I knew who were much less knowledgeable about PCs had no problem getting jobs. :rofl:

The backplate of the video card is just above the bottom of the top fan, so... The top one, no. The bottom one, probably.

So my work computer, a Yoga 3 Pro, installed a bunch of Windows 10 updates yesterday, including the anniversary update (I think). Now it won't shut down. :cursin:

No, I don't have a wind tunnel either.

Should I do that in C, Java, or Pascal?

That might be a viable option if I had a clear side panel. Running it with the side open so I could see the smoke would totally change the results.

I haven't seen the Anniversary Update on any of the Windows 10 machines I have. Hah! My work computer running Windows 10 Pro somehow hasn't even checked for updates since 12/2/2015.

Well, I did some testing with different fans in different locations. I can only say that PC cooling is not even close to intuitive. :dunno: There are spots for two 140mm fans in the front of the 600Q. There's one spot in the back on the bottom for a fan. The best GPU temps are achieved with...

Congrats, and it's a suite.

Just MPC-HC. I thought I read the developer of DSPlayer was taking a break which leaves using madVR in Kodi in limbo.

So I finally got around to watching Interstellar last night for the first time. I'm still a bit undecided on it. Aside from the obvious giant paradox plot hole I was dumbfounded by plot inconsistency that their spacecraft had to be launched into Earth orbit atop a large multistage rocket, but...

He got a 2013 A4 Allroad according to the link in the thread.

I just put my phone in the cup holders. I generally don't use it while driving. It's just resting there.

So I've basically achieved success. Asus GPU Tweak II can control the fan speed on the card. You can't adjust the fanspeed below 39%, other than off. However, it's effectively inaudible from my seat at 40%. After 30 minutes of running with the TY-147A as a case fan blowing across it the GPU...

I thought you could just find someone to pass you for a little extra under the table money?

I wouldn't say that. There are some headaches related to getting everything separated, but I can't agree.

So the Asus GTX 1080 Strix runs about 20C cooler under load, but it spins the GPU fans about 200-250rpm faster than the Zotac. I'm not sure how audible they are or aren't because the case is all open and apart still, but I imagine they're not inaudible. The good news here is that I now have...

Well, they do. All you have to do is look at the actions of the elected leadership and related organizations. They're attempting to drive God from society and eliminate the Judeo-Christian foundation the country was built on by any means necessary. Courts, legislation, fear of personal...

Sam, I knew I could count on you for a totally intellectually vapid response. Considering Christians aren't participating in any sort of organized, or even unorganized effort to kill people who don't follow their religion anywhere in the world I don't have the slightest idea from what imaginary...

The idea that we make more terrorists by killing terrorists is silly. Their ideology makes terrorists. That said, I don't think nuking them is the answer. However, we should get much more aggressive in the fight against them. Unless we're willing to face the reality of who they are and what...

So I did more testing. I put two 140mm case fans on the front of the system and ran them blowing into the case. I ran 4 test permutations. Fans at 50% with the side closed then with the side open. Fans at 100% with the side closed and the side open. The fans RPM on the GTX 1080 was...

Well, I'm not adding more case fans. I'm looking to maximize airflow for a given number of fans (only 1 blowing in) by trying different fans. However, your point is not lost on me. I noted with the Antec P180 case that running it with the sides off didn't improve temperatures much with the...

I've ordered a few more 140mm case fans trying to focus on high airflow, low noise fans. I don't have a whole lot of expectations of any significant improvement though.
