    EA Forum Ban Prevents Game Access?

    This is nothing but bad planning, and inexcusable regardless if you are pro/anti-DRM for the simple fact that it's a single player game. I wouldn't go so far as calling it draconian, mostly because of the groan worthy pun, but it's definitely resulted in much ill will from their customers. To...

    Has your dealer contacted you about the Sandy Bridge recall?

    Canada Computers posted a bulletin on their front page. Two options for Sandy Bridge mobos: 1. Full refund on a SB mobo starting now 2. Replacement for SB mobo starting mid-March through mid-April It doesn't spell out the replacement option, so one can only assume they mean they'll swap...

    Super slow HD writes/reads; Asus P8P67 Pro the problem?

    @Meatsauce Sorry for not getting back with my results like I said I would. My HD Tune results were markedly not as red. However, just the other day I started moving around SATA connectors. Currently have my Vertex 2 120 gig and Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB (replaced the 500 gig drive I...

    Asus P8P67 Pro - Can't properly hotswap eSATA

    Never mind. It decided to just start working without notice... >shrug< >>>> I've got a Nexstar USB2.0/eSATA hard drive dock hooked into the top-most eSATA port on the back of my Asus P8P67 Pro. JMicro settings in the BIOS are all enabled Installed the JMB36X driver from the ASUS support...

    UFO Caught On Film by Multiple Cameras

    Not trying to be condescending, but we really don't think that someone couldn't splice this relatively low-res footage together in a day or two? When you take a look at the recent fan made Black Mesa videos, or the fake-reality FPS/big guns video, I would assume that the immediate reaction to...

    Super slow HD writes/reads; Asus P8P67 Pro the problem?

    I am having the exact same problems... only started noticing it the other day. Tried to copy from P8P67 Pro build to a laptop over wireless N and got a transfer rate of something liek 2MB/s, estimated time of transfer: end of the next ice age. Thought it was a network issue, so I plugged a USB...

    What sandy bridge models are affected by the recall?

    Jumped here as soon as I saw the post, too: http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/31/intel-finds-sandy-bridge-chipset-design-flaw-shipments-stopped/ It's a problem with the chipset, not the CPU. So the question is... who's going to pony up for replacements if needed? The mobo manufacturers or Intel?

    Asus P8P67 PRO Total Memory Amount

    Have been using the out-of-the-box BIOS for the past week and was having problems getting my sticks recognized. I actually had to remove all but one chip to get Win7 to install. For reference, what I've been doing in the meantime is: - Turn on system - Watch for RAM amount - If only 8...

    Asus VE278Q

    Picked this one up over the weekend. I thought it was busted at first as I was playing Fable 3 on it and it was ghosting all over the place. Turns out that excessive blurring is "art style/design choice" rather than a problem with my monitor. Critique Prepare to be blinded if you are looking...

    Asus VE278Q

    Can someone post a picture of the input rack on this monitor? All of the stock photos on ASUS' site only show the back of the monitor. Thanks in advance!

    How hot is hot? (southbridge overheating)

    @all: Thanks for all of the suggestions. @SlowCobra: Tried doing that, but I couldn't seem to crush them down enough to get them back through the board... anyhow, I had snipped them before you mentioned this. So after replacing the NB/SB with new heatsinks (SB has a crappy fan on it, too)...
