  1. Objection! You haven't finished watching Psycho Pass because season 2 is airing this winter (3rd episode already aired).
  2. I didn't do preset overclocking, my motherboard allowed custom voltage settings and memory clocks. So I manually cranked up the GHz in increments of .1 - .2 GHz through the BIOS settings. Then I checked how hot the CPUs ran under load with the specific overclock settings.
  3. Noctua NH-D14 air cooling with Arctic Silver 5 Polysynthetic Silver. I last repasted the CPU before attaching the Noctua heatsink (I don't remove the heatsink at all).
  4. @angerthosenear, do you have any plans to watch the animes of this summer season?
  5. I don't think he'll answer, most of new members on this forum don't revisit.
  6. Depending on the laptop, you might not be able to support 3 antennas as several wireless cards would require for optimal performance
  7. It should be streaming on CrunchyRoll on July 5th, 2014 (here).
  8. First episode of Sword Art Online Season 2 will air on July 5th, 2014 (here) in Japan.
  9. The DLC mainly comes from EA, DICE didn't even offer most of their Battlefield 4 DLC (grenades, shotguns, pistols, dmrs, etc) until a few months after Battlefield 4 was released. I recently got an update for Titanfall and there wasn't any noticeable changes except an option to purchase DLC in-game.
  10. At this point regarding the current anime season, you might as well refer to random curiosity's spring 2014 season page (
  11. The CPU is paired up with a Gigabyte X79-UP4 motherboard. I'm using Kingston HyperX 1600MHz RAM sticks, checked for ram errors with memtest86+ (no errors found). Fortunately, the system almost never freezes (I would be more worried if it were more frequent). UPDATE (5/21/2014): I ran my i7-3930k @ 4.2GHz with 1.224 core voltage. I found the max temperature to be 78 C, which is significantly higher than stock clocks (62 C) and Tcase (66.8 C) as noted by Intel. I suppose I'll stay away from overclocking this chip for now.
  12. I agree that enclosures aren't always preferred. Aside from the actual costs that go into the making of the enclosure, there is no actual competition for cheap solutions on the market. MSI's GUS II was announced 2 years ago (in January of 2012 The Verge briefly showed it), but we still don't see it on the market (people speculate it to be ~$150 or more). I recently came across one of your old posts (here), and I would go with a hwtool's recalled TH05 if I could (the product page doesn't exist "anymore" but here). Also, Thunderbolt hasn't been widely adopted by most laptop manufacturers. Dell has yet to announce a mobile Precision with Thunderbolt and HP has pretty much left the laptop PC business (Elitebooks with/without Premiercolor). I would wait on a cheaper eGPU Thunderbolt solution or just go with an expresscard/mPCIe solution.
  13. Impressive work squinks! The whole eGPU setup cost more than $2000 , that costs more than the computer itself! Assuming you can attach another eGPU to the other Thunderbolt port and successfully utilize it, the costs would total to $4000+! That isn't a cost anyone can come across and acknowledge as necessary at home. Higher tier CUDA products (NVIDIA Quadro line) costs more per GPU, pushing the costs even further!
  14. I think he's referring to a external drive configuration like this (specs here). 24x CD read is actually 1/9 the rate of 24x DVD read. DVDs would read at ~33.36 MB/s and CDs would read at ~3.707 MB/s (here).
  15. Selling it together will net one sale, for less though. Less headaches. Parting it will net more profit, but much harder. You might not be able to sell all parts and can take months. You could sell the GPU for £200 as you originally planned, but keep the other parts somewhere safe in the house so you can service you new computer if something goes wrong (RAM, processors, and WLAN card are probably the only ones compatible).
  16. Have you considered the costs of the branding "Quadro" and the actual hardware that goes into the Quadros? Recent desktop Quadros use ECC (error correcting code) chips not found in the usual GeForce series. ECC is necessary for preventing computational errors from occurring (read about ECC memory here). As Tech Inferno Fan pointed out, you could probably trick a GeForce GPU into believing it is a Tesla (Quadro). But I wouldn't expect the same as NVIDIA also nerfed the computational abilities of double precision of GeForces.
  17. I have been using an i7-3930k @ 3.2 GHz (stock), had a few sudden freezes (mouse wouldn't move until I rebooted the computer). I'm not sure if it has something that is related to the fact that 4 of 8 DIMMs are occupied.
  18. Do you have a spare PSU that can even power the external GPU? You probably have to take out some money out of your wallet for some special parts. I agree with rhx123 about posting this question to the eGPU subforum.
  19. From my own experience, the page file can be set under limitations by the file's size. If you set a limit to the page file and your programs exceed both RAM and page file limitations, the memory respective to the applications currently running are subject to crashing (ie. Google Chrome crashed on me for excessive amounts of tabs). You can read the following tomshardware thread (here) for instructions on how to change your settings.
  20. Which FMA anime? Some people have varying views regarding the old and reboot version that follows canon (manga). I would recommend Cowboy Bebop as a classic and FLCL for bizarre character development. There are other animes I would recommend, but it mainly depends on what your perspectives are regarding animes at the moment. Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt has quite the humor (sometimes NSFW humor).
  21. Are you talking about 3 way SLI gaming on 1440p? A single GTX 780 is enough to play most games at 1440p (referring to GTX 780 benchmarks here).
  22. Hi guys, I'm from NBR (although I'm kind of late in joining compared to the wave of members that joined 2 years ago). I joined NBR a few months after my Dell Inspiron 1525 died (physical frame failure). At that point I started using a Thinkpad T61 along with a Dell tower (nothing too crazy); overtime I helped people troubleshoot and gave advice when I could. When I'm on the forums, I usually spend time reading the threads instead of posting (the main reason why my post count is low). At one point, I started the BOINC team (inspired by DR650SE's F@H thread for NBR's team) for NBR and it was quickly forgotten (I helped compute 1 million points alone before I stopped). When I asked for advice regarding issues I had with my computers, few members bothered to reply and left me on my own to fix my problems. When it came to certain discussions, some members chose to belligerently reply (some of these replies weren't even logical). My intentions of my posts are to share information of my problems or contributions so others are informed of their choices.
