I've ordered a replacement cooling system (arctic closed circuit water something) after seeing the prices on those faster cards. Until then I'll run a couple R9 290X I still have kicking around.

Fan just quit on one of my original Titans. Card runs fine so long as I don't load it up and keep the airflow going, but that is not optimal. Am I reading it right that the current nVidia Badass is the Titan Z? I'll be getting an aftermarket cooler for the Titan (suggestions welcome), but could...

I'm 6'3", so it should be an entirely achievable goal. But I've spent less than 5% of my adult life within 10% of it. Something to work on. Merc seems to be nailing it.

180 is my target. I'm 70lbs away at the moment. Congratulations.

The cheap universal fit ones. Not the ones they sell now (600S), but some previous iteration in the $400 range. Had them for years.

The trailer is very far from Aero; it even has an orange flag that I have up when riding in town. I'm back up to 250lbs, and many hills in the area are quite steep. My normal route includes a 1 mile climb that has 600' of ascent, most of it in the first 1/3rd. On my old regular ride the leg...

Yeah, maybe 100W. I ordered Monoprice 12ga in-wall. Probably going to go with Logitech Harmony for remote control. Thanks!

If you needed to run speaker wire over 100' from the amp to the speaker, what speaker wire would you use? Shielded? Larger Gauge? What if they wanted a volume control on the wall much closer to the speakers than the amp? Is there something that can control an amplified signal? Ordinarily I'd...

Interesting. I wonder how they compare to my Ultimate Ears or Bose QuietComfort 20.

There is a seller on Amazon called "Computer Upgrade King" that sells Lenovo units with the RAM and CPU maxed, SSD swapped in, and Win 7 Pro downgrade already applied. Also prime eligible on some units. I've bought quite a few of these without complaints. 5 more sitting downstairs right now.

We have this discussion every few years. Every time we pretty much settle on leaving it as-is in order to make sure no-one can change the meaning of a post after it has been read or responded to (we used to have more politics).

I got a new cassette as well, but mine is specifically designed to help when towing a 50lb trailer that has knobby tires. Went to an 11-32 and a long-cage rear derailleur. I really underestimated how much additional power towing would require. According to my Garmin Vector pedals, 15mph with the...

I didn't think the post went at all, it crashed out completely.

My wife is a doc, and her professional medical opinion was that I should have some stitches, but she wasn't adamant about it so I think I'll be fine ;)

Did some of the local holiday parades with a giant piece of construction equipment on a trailer, the whole thing covered with 10,000+ lights that blink to music. Last time we did it was 3 years ago, but last time I didn't manage to injure myself this badly. Jumped backwards off the equipment...

I order direct from Lenovo, but I would be worried about how long their inventory has been sitting around for a laptop of that vintage. I'd probably turn to BatteriesPlus.

An 80" screen viewed from 10' might benefit from being curved. Of course, that is so different from the view the director had in mind I can't imagine the experience optimal. Maybe for 3D?

I really like that. Same as Lunar, it would need to be bigger and higher res to get me to jump from the Dell 30" or 32".

These two need to go here. http://youtu.be/f66kEastC58 http://youtu.be/Wpd2VaFt5iY Video tagging is broken for some reason.

Nice watching all the AMG GTs running around the last couple weeks. http://youtu.be/th9YqxWnCXE

That's fun. Typed in my two favorite shows just for kicks: Grand Designs: "not available" Match of the Day: "not available" The UI can be much cleaner without any data.

Yup. Lots of drivers. Windows update had one, HP had another. Both of those allowed normal printing (PDFs and such), but plotting from ACAD errored out. The workaround for that was to specify a similar HPGL plotter inside ACAD and their "plotter manager" application. Tried most of the plotters...

I'm afraid it has already sold Santilli, next time ;)

Frankly, I think they had the time and I could have gotten it going. I think the tech looked at ACAD 2015 and decided he didn't feel like learning it.

Next up is suspension. I don't need it lower (the Ti handling pack already lowered the car ~1" from standard) or all that much stiffer (not tracking the car). But better damping would be nice. Lighter would be nice as well.

Home finally. That was the biggest train wreck I've been part of in a long time. Everything was going perfectly until the user experienced an issue plotting from AutoCAD 2015 to their (ancient) HP Designjet 500. Everything else was working, even printing PDFs (or anything else) to that beast...

Nope, that outright sucks. For now I am happy with what I have, just had a recalibration of the clutch and all the driveability issues I had are gone. 99% stock for shifts and it feels very fast indeed. I'll have it properly dyno'd at some point, but it is keeping me happy.

I find myself trying to get his old install of XP (32bit) running on this hardware. All it took to boot into the OS was to change to IDE mode on the controller, but drivers are proving....difficult. Are there really no X99 chipset drivers for XP?

Merc: Another reason to come out to CA.

Kerbal Space Program is my new all-time favorite. Accessible, easy to start, tons to learn, totally creative and open-ended. Available on Steam if you like.

Not at all, if someone was going to find out it would be you. Just the huge nudge was funny.

One of the things that amazed me most about my car was that the paint straight from the dealer was not perfect. Some orange peel is to be expected, but there were hairline scratches and a couple minor pits straight away. Interested considering my car hadn't even been washed by the dealer yet (I...

Hilarious. I haven't seen this kind of lead on here. Was almost expecting Handy to reply "Nope...nothing to see here...." Did you end up moving your mods to the new car and putting the stock bits back on before sale? Congrats on the new purchase!

When I only need one WAN port I use an FVS318G, they also have one with WiFi included, as well as units with 2 and 4 WAN ports. These can handle 99% of implementations. The only place in my control where that wasn't enough we installed a Barracuda Firewall (8 ports) and Content Filter.

Parts from stock. Shouldn't make that much of a difference. They ended up dropping "Workstation 2" on my recommendation, just putting the SSD in their existing machine and installing the new software to see if that is enough performance. Added a bunch of UPS for everything at their request...

What you want to do is possible, but Merc and Chewy both know loads more about it than I do so I won't bother with that. What I do is use routers that support VPN directly. I really like the Netgear ProSafe series. Router-Router connections are insanely easy and do all the things you want...

Thanks! Just bid the following: At the moment the total for hardware & software is $10,922.55 including shipping and tax. Not bad considering the crazy power involved.

Can anyone confirm that standard Socket2011 coolers will fit these new boards? Looking at the Noctua D-14 2011

Useful for those working on 4k video, but games are having a hard enough time on normal 4k res.

I haven't tried to run one outside the other. I just use the Origin client to launch the games (same for Steam). I can try to close out the Origin program and see if a game will load? Or would you like me to try to uninstall Origin and see what happens to the games?

That just about nails it. I still would be playing CivV, but appreciate the slight variations to keep it fresh. The graphics aren't that much better (Ultra@4k@29Hz) I have Origin for SimCity, Battlefield, and FIFA. It isn't awful, just limited. Mainly annoying because it is *another thing*.

That statement is really confusing. I have no doubt that it is as concise and clear as possible, as your grasp of English exceeds mine on many levels. I still can't figure out exactly what it means.

The screen shots of TORCS make the graphics look very....open source. ;) I've been playing Sid Meier's Beyond Earth since it came out Friday. It is just different enough from CivV that I haven't mastered it yet (I logged nearly 5,000 hours on CivV according to Steam). Fun, pretty, and...

My guest bedroom has a computer with the display mirrored to the TV and read-only access to my media files. My guests so far (in-laws, one at a time) haven't been the most tech-savvy, but have managed ok.

I've ordered one of these, along with the break-out cable. If it can pull in the component directly I might not need to strip HDCP.

Thanks for that. Any suggestion on the capture card itself?

I have a server running at home and the client installed on my phone, but I may have used it twice? At home I have a PC on every TV/Projector, so I just play the media locally. When I am away from home I usually just find something entertaining on YouTube. Similarly, Pandora has been good...

Wouldn't I want one of these instead? (Provided the HD Receiver supports component out?)

So I use that to pull component and SPDIF from the DirecTV receiver and feed the HDMI to a capture card so I can play it in a window on the computer monitor? This bypasses the HDMI protection (HDCP?)?
