Some of you may have read about the latest Ebola outbreak in West Africa. This time it's in cities, and difficult to control. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/140703085807-ebola-virus-map-story-top.jpg The official information is that there is no treatment available, but my superficial invest...

Tesla open-sources all patents, bold move by Elon Musk (and so un-american):

Review at Guru3d, it's passive in idle (nice!), but IMO not SPCR-quiet under load, and the VRMs get too hot:

I wonder how well it will perform compared with a conventional design, no such info yet.

Not directly related to the 750Ti, but this (bad?) news is concerning both nVidia and AMD: no 20 nm GPUs this year.

Intel to launch its Haswell refresh products May 10th 2014:

However, these do not appear to include the Devil's Canyon version(s), which may be launched in June.

Should SPCR forum members change their passwords, since they may have been compromised due to the OpenSSL heartbleed bug?

New info (from Techpowerup): At GDC, Intel announced a backpedal from its plans to eventually reshape desktop CPUs into components that come hardwired to the motherboards across the line, by announcing three new CPU families. It includes the Haswell-E HEDT platform, Broadwell performance platform, a...

Beats all other competitors in performance / watt by a large margin. Overall game performance is close to a Radeon 7850. This could be cooled passively with the ...

Since the OP seems to not have gotten ideal results and there still was some talk about modding, I'll add my experience from about 1 year ago. I got a standard evga gtx 670, with that horrible cooler but with a nice heatsink on the VRMs, that I kept. Put an Accelero mono plus on it, but found that t...

The company (Industrial Heat) that has aquired the IP rights to the Rossi reactor revealed itself with an official press release:

In my old computer I have a Mugen 2, and I've been using the method number 2, first catch the fan then put the clip into the ridge.
The Mugen 4 seems to have a similar fan clipping design. Haven't bent any fins IIRC, I did this many times in 4.5 years of dust cleaning that HSF every 3 - 6 months.

How does nickel = nuclear bomb? the goal of fusion is taking stable elements and combining them into other stable elements, and extracting energy from that process. the goal of fission is taking inherently unstable elements and doing a controlled split on them. neither one will produce a bomb. Late...

andyb, I hope you are right, although I never bought and never will buy a Sony or MS console. But you being right would imply that Sony and MS are run by engineers, while they are rather run by bean-counters. IMO the best that can happen is that when a process shrink will be available, within the sa...

Link to article at Guru3D: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/nvidia_g_sync_review_guide.html I posted it here, because I believe that it's going to be important for quiet gaming. With G-Sync gamers should be able to get a similar experience as a ~250W card (with V-sync on) from a ~150W card (with...

Considering that you can't upgrade the GPU in the console, but you can always add external stuff
if you'll need it (for a price, of course), get the PS4. They won't build its successor for about 7 years.

I have a HR-02 Macho on i7-3770k, stock clocks and volts, just turbo all cores to 3.9. The temperature difference between running with a 14 cm fan at 600 rpm and passive is 4 degrees at load. That's while running Prime95, so unless you plan to run Linpack, IMO you should be fine with a passive HR-02...

I have a HR-02 Macho in a P150 (white Solo) and it fits with a few milimeters to spare.

It appears that a German security researcher, Karsten Nohl, has found a way to hack into some older SIM cards, link: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/161870-the-humble-sim-card-has-finally-been-hacked-billions-of-phones-at-risk-of-data-theft-premium-rate-scams So if you have an older SIM in your...

I hope you mean 98C before delidding.
Would you mind telling us which TIM you used, maybe CLU?

Saw that delidded IB-E and wanted to post a link here, but Spoon Boy was faster.

There is hope that for Ivy Bridge E Intel will use solder, since that will be a larger die. But the die area occupied by the iGPU (in IB and HW) is about the same as the area that would be occupied by 2 extra cores and the extra cache, in IB-E. So it's possible that Intel will use TIM for IB-E, whic...

Actually, since the post came from a fellow inhabitant of Bucharest, the reasons for NOT opening the window should be:
- car noise, especially at night, illegal racing;
- ferral dogs barking, also at night;
- screaming 'music' (manele) from a gypsy party;
- fireworks;
- temperature of +35C outside.

It has been reported, but not confirmed yet, that the retail Haswells run hotter than the review samples.
It is unclear if they use more power or the IHS to die space is larger than in the review samples. Buyers beware.

Haswell uses TIM under IHS, link to pictures:

For those interested, it's already available in Germany:

I am not interested, since it comes with only 1GB VRAM (wonder why didn't they implement the full 2GB).

I never had a cordless mouse and probably never will. The Cyborg RAT7 is too ugly to sit on my desktop. The Roccat Kone(+) is not available to buy in Bucharest. For now I bought a Steelseries Sensei RAW rubberised, for only about 52 euros. There is no whine or other constant noise coming from the mo...
