• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Sprint Set To Throttle Unlimited Data Hogs

    From internal Sprint information today, technically it isn't a hard throttle. It's like a QoS policy that turns on after 23GB of used data that reduces the priority assigned to you by the cell tower you are connected to. As long as you aren't on a congested tower, you won't even see any...

    Sprint Launches 'One Up' Early Upgrade Plan

    Considering the other carriers give you no discount on your bill or charge you a finance fee (vzw), that $15 discount is pretty sweet on top of not needing to pay anything down on a phone except tax.

    FCC Approves SoftBank Merger with Sprint and Clearwire

    About time! This should be great!

    Dish Secures $9 Billion Financing for Sprint Bid

    Lots of talk within Sprint regarding changes being implemented now in preparation for the Softbank deal moving forward, with zero changes or discussion around the possibility of the Dish deal.

    System Freezes for 2min and Recovers

    I updated the drivers for my DLink PCIe 802.11n card, and disabled onboard ethernet. My system hasn't frozen since! I'm hopeful that this problem is now gone for good. Thanks for being a great PC hardware community with great suggestions!

    System Freezes for 2min and Recovers

    Thanks, Liger88! I haven't actually tried the drivers that came on the disk from EVGA. I will add that to my list of solutions to try! Edited for grammar ;)

    System Freezes for 2min and Recovers

    I use a DLink Wireless N PCIe adaptor. I haven't tried connecting through another method, though I have updated the drivers. I think this may be part of the problem though. I did try the adaptor in a different PCIe slot. I have an identical adaptor in a Vista box downstairs but all of the...

    System Freezes for 2min and Recovers

    Thank you for the suggestions! I have run SMART and everything checked out, zero errors. I did have an external USB 3.0 HDD hooked up and I disconnected it. I encountered the same error again after a mix of running games and web videos. I haven't yet tried testing with a single hard drive...

    System Freezes for 2min and Recovers

    The Problem: Temporary system freeze with audio stutter. The system recovers 30sec - 2min later. Key presses made during freeze will execute after system recovers (ctrl+alt+delete for example) Usually, but not always, I see an error message in the system tray and I do NOT experience bsod...

    Cool Morphing Touchscreen Keyboard

    Fixed! I've worked in the wireless industry for 9 years. If you are still using a blackberry because you think the keyboard is superior, you really need to give a swype style keyboard (touch screen) a solid test drive for a week. Much more efficient and enjoyable to use for the vast...

    Apple Revenue Falls Short Again, iPhone Sales Disappoint

    I'm not going to get into this with you, but here are some basic definitions. Your statement is misleading. Greed: Intense and selfish desire for something, esp. wealth, power, or food. Capitalism: An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by...

    The Portal Turret Song

    Played Portal 1 and 2. Great games! Haven't played Mirror's Edge but was always intrigued by the trailer and demo. Never came back around to it yet.

    SLI 680 w/ 955 OR single 680 and i5 3570k Upgrade

    And yes, CPU upgrade over a 2nd 680. No question in my opinion.

    SLI 680 w/ 955 OR single 680 and i5 3570k Upgrade

    That was actually a pretty interesting review, however it still seems that the largest benefit of going with that chip is if you plan on streaming your gaming sessions. If you don't plan to stream your live gaming sessions, I'd still go with the Intel i5 3570. If you DO plan to steam your...

    Corsair GS500 enough for GTX 670?

    Optical drives, case fans, lights, etc, can also put stress on your PSU. However, as others have said, what is important is your 12v rail and its available amps. I'm assuming you have at least 1 optical drive though these run off your 5v rail. Case fans however run off your 12v rail when they...
