Well in this season... It's over. One of more mosfets on the Taichi have blown out on the VRM. I was running it bone stock, poking around between the web and apps. The system died like it lost power. Turns out it did lose power, my Seasonic Titanium went into short circuit protection. Turns...

So guys we got to this point... Newegg wouldn't do anything, so now I'm making things work. The TaiChi has some truly evil capacitors placed in bad places. So I took a page from AHOC and moved/replaced some capacitors. The factory input caps sit 2/3mm too close to the chokes to fit a VRM block...

So guys... Newegg is in the we fooked up, just deny and pretend he doesn't exist mode. So I have a motherboard in it's box and I have never opened it yet. Do I open it and start to build something out of it or do I hold out and see if Newegg suddenly flips and takes it back? Yes it's a Poll! 8-)

So guys I've got a second gen Xbone Elite Controller, so it's the white one, and I have had it for a year and some. Unfortunately due to a workplace injury that can't be fixed, I simply cannot hold the normal Xbox One controllers without it being incredibly painful in short order and leaves me...

I have to look at upgrading CPU time... I can hack my bios and stuff an 6C/12T Intel cpu Or I can go Ryzen but because of board costs I can possibly swing the 2700x or the 3600x. It's weird seeing Z390 boards, good ones for sizeable amounts of money less than the comparable X570 board. Then...

Well I hope you have a current Apple account configured on the latest iOSX.... I had to fight a system that a person has mostly had just sitting around, so it had 10.8... On Windows it's easy but not so on iOSX... God, does Apple make things needlessly difficult. Want to update, well better...

I have gone through hell these last few years. I was told I was a second class person. That because of how I am, and since I don't act like a normal honest person, all of my words have to be taken with less value than a normal person. I have had my professional reputation destroyed, been turned...

Just looking for opinions before ordering some tie rods for the RSX. I have to overhaul the steering system on my car, it's started to have some real issues, with the rack binding, loss of power assist at times, and the tie rods are factory looking, no play yet but the boots are starting to...

I have finally found my password... I could never reset it... lucky it didn't actually reset it... LoL So what's doing? Manches! :drool:

Guess it's been awhile... Nov 12, 2015 according to the forum... Place still looks the same... So what's been happening? Cheers!

Hello everybody... I just got back from seeing the specialist, and he gave me the 'sometimes we can't fix it' talk. Basically put, I got myself hurt at work, protecting another employee. So I managed to end up, with some rather bad damage to my left arm/shoulder. I have complex regional pain...

So the S6 went full derp *cough* clone *cough*, high res screen, tiny battery, lost the micro-SD card. It shouldn't be the only one with it's own thread, because it'll sell just like Apple, it'll sell because people get them irregardless of what else is out because it's what they had before or...

Well I've not much experience with recent AMD toys, but I've got a MSI 970 Gaming ATX motherboard. I'm water cooling the whole deal. I've got the NB cooling and Mosfet/VRM cooling sorted. I'm just wondering if it's worthwhile to run the loop down to the Southbridge. The stock cooler is bug...

I figured this would be a good way of keeping track of this stuff, and allow for us to have a quick reference point: I used Antutu Tester, and it's battery test mode to arrive at the score. It's a small free app, with no insane permission requirements, it's compatible with Lollipop, and so I...

So guys, my mom wanted something with AWD that got something of reasonable fuel economy. Subaru is out because the closest dealership is over 300km away. :( Suzuki... :cry: GM is out, because she would love to get a recall notice with the paperwork. :lol: Hyundai/Kia is out, because of all the...
