Yes! The Bourne trilogy also has this real and gritty quality. It is sort of a Bond movie (not counting the last two), but then more realistic. Even if, when you think about it, Bourne may be even more lucky than 007, it does without all the gadgets and humour which makes Bond a cartoon, instead of ...

I'm not knocking some of the cliches here, but after all... Movies are about stories (action packed or not), and most of all they need to be entertaining. Most typical block-busters are just that, entertaining, some of them are a pastime at best and some are a waste of time. This can go for books as...

Thermalright has an "S-clip" for HR-01, Ultra-90, Ultra-120, SI-97A, and SI-128, which makes it possible to turn these heatsinks 90 degrees.

Just a thought...

Slipstream amperage suggests its motor is much stronger than the Gentle Typhoon, therefor it's easier for the SS to overcome any backpressure from obstacles in the airflow, and hold its target RPM better than the GT.

Lately, other sites have given exposure to folding. Now, Bit-Tech releases an article on how to build the best folding "rig" . Seems extensive, considering motherboard, CPU, case, PSU, OS and ofcourse GPU's. Also some pointers (preferred brand, mixing different cards) when using multiple GPU's for f...

Sheer luck. I was re-reading the article just last week because in another forum, someone asked about anechoic chambers.

So... what did I win...?

Hi, I suggest that you folks (re)read all the old SPCR articles, and comb them for clues... Found a clue (not sure if it was just a figure of speech...): In the article about the anechoic chamber: I'd fantasized about building one like an underground bomb shelter beneath the garage and back yard, b...

I upgraded from 3.0.11 to 3.5.1 today (currently on a netbook) and I do notice an increase in speed. It feels like 15 to 50% faster, depending on what site I connect to.
I didn't have any problems like Shamgar noticed.

Aluminium for case material because it better conducts heat is really not an issue. People have built cases with materials like aluminium, steel, stone, and wood. The temperatures won't differ much from one another if the airflow through the case is "enough" (enough being max 600 RPM). A case is jus...

Thanks for all the replies! Well, I hope I'll be as lucky as psiu, although a completely new install seems to be unavoidable if all else fails (not that I'm not going to try...). The dead motherboard had an NVidia nForce 590 chipset, the new one will have an AMD 790X chipset. In other words, both mo...

I'm about to buy a new motherboard myself and noticed the same thing: CPU and mounting has turned 90 degrees. I think I will buy an S-clip for the Thermalright, so it can face in the same direction as before. http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/product_accessories.html scroll down a ...

I guess the only option is to install the OS clean, install all the programs, games and apps again

My Asus M2N32 motherboard died after 2 years. I'm still looking for a replacement, but I have 1 question: In order to make the new motherboard work, the drivers need to be installed on my current hard disk. From past experience: * Installing new drivers on an old motherboard (to prepare an upgrade) ...

It never occurred to me as a pee contest, just a difference of opinion. I'm glad :wink: Everything about high end equipment is more money for several reasons: True, but at some point (for me) the extra expenses don't cover the quality gained. Many renowned speaker manufacturers have a signature/ref...

I don't want to turn this into a "peeing" contest, and after your post I think we're more on the same line than I initially thought... The original editor of Stereophile said it best decades ago. The quality of the recording is inversely proportional to the performance. Sadly that means the stuff yo...

The original editor of Stereophile said it best decades ago. The quality of the recording is inversely proportional to the performance. Sadly that means the stuff you love the most was recorded in the worst possible way. I assume that was his personal opinion and he wasn't able to back it up with (...

Audio, much more than any other media it seems, is of personal taste. As long as people still have to hear a piece of hardware in order to say if it's any good - as opposed to just looking at the specs - and as long as reviews will only be able to point in a certain direction, it will stay personal ...

In my country, a major online shop sells 1 CD of him every 10 seconds. Usually they sell about 9 a day.
They're now sold out.

In the usual shops, all his CD's are sold out as well.

For those looking, maybe ebay...

You like bulging eyes, then...?

Seriously though, I think most people here are past any babe thread, considering the topics of the threads posted here.

Thanks! Now these numbers make sense.

Olle , how did you find out a 140x60 cm can dissipate approx. 350 Watt? I used the general formula for heat dissipation (DIN 4703-3), coupled with the approximation that the water flow is 3 l/min. (Purmo provides lots of useful info in Swedish that's missing from their UK site. The formulas are on ...

Being heavily influenced by massive demonstrations in the 80's regarding nuclear energy (and armed missiles), I never thought I would say this, but considering all the aspects I am leaning towards nuclear energy right now. Saw this a while ago, still impresses me: F4 airplane strikes a concrete wall

Do you not also think that those who are contracted to study global warming by governments, corporations like GE, and environmentalist groups are also not under pressure to prove it exists? They wouldn't have a job if they proved AGW didn't exist. And then But that is not scientific and cannot be p...

I would cheer and then try to silence that horrible sound.

" The next level ," see business-school catch phrase rant, above. An exceptionally vague and asinine phrase. Usually only serves to identify the speaker or writer as an idiot and manipulator of colossal magnitude. Most WoW gamers will have a totally different definition for this, and to me it sound...

They are orbiting one another. The fact that the orbit of the sun lies within its outer shell (due to its mass) tends to hide this.

Sorry, off topic

Thanks for the replies. Mounting it upside down (or temporarily holding it like that) would make it easier to fill, I'm not sure about degassing it (res2 was already stubborn in that aspect). Not sure if the Purmo (or other radiators) have the surface prepped internally as well, if not: steel and co...

I'm genuinely "intrigued" by the wall radiator concept (I know, I watch too much Star Trek). Personally I think some of the bathroom radiators look more stylish. In either case, I'm concerned what kind of waterpump is needed to provide the appropriate flow. Jipa, do you know what kind of pump your f...

I keep bookmarking these kind of articles for whenever I see a forum thread "what 1000 Watt PSU do I need". Nice article.

Because Guru3D.com's domain was registered 10 years ago, some special articles will be / have been released this week. Today's article is about trying to make the servers "green" by installing 15 solar panels, totalling ~2450 KWh of current each year, in effect saving 1397 KG of CO2 a year. If Guru3...
