    Z77 motherboard recommendations?

    I also use the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4. Great motherboard for the price(got mine for $99 last year). And I overclock my 3.4ghz I5 3570k to 4.6ghz with no problems.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    In every single RPG that allows the option, I always just turn on subtitles and skip the rest of the spoken dialogue as soon as I'm done reading the subtitles. I can read the information probably 5x faster than a character is going to speak it. I'd rather do that and then hurry up and get back...

    Astras are my 2nd favorite blade behind feathers, I used them for months when I first started DE shaving

    I easily justified the price of my $15 a month seedbox from whatbox.ca by not subscribing to premium cable channels. I used to spend $30+ a month just for HBO and Showtime, a seedbox is a bargain in comparison, with obviously MUCH more content at your disposal from torrents. And if you are...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    lol this. An uncle of mine came from out of town for our wedding, wife, 3 kids, the whole family. They live in a half a million dollar house(which is huge here in the midwest) and gave us $35 cash in an envelope. I don't even know how you come up with that random amount. I could see 2 $20...

    Yeah, Chrome on my S4 only takes about a 2 second screen press on any picture before it pops up a menu with save image/open image/open image in new tab options. The default Samsung browser is pretty much the same with a few additional options of copy/saving the image URL as well. Looks like...

    I've heard that on several different forums from some H100i owners. They released a driver update for the pump that supposedly fixed the noise issue for the small amount of people that were having it. Might check out Cooler Masters website for the newest firmware. I really don't have a clue...

    The Cooler Master H-series of water coolers have made rapid progress as far as sound goes. The first H100s were pretty loud, the H100i was a LOT quieter, and now the new H110 is another significant step quieter again. As far as temperatures go, the H100i was a small improvement over the H100...

    Yeah, Cabelas tends to be a little more focused on hunting and hiking whereas bass pro is focused a little more on fishing & water sports. I remember my parents taking me into a Cabelas for the first time when I was a kid, and I wouldn't stop bugging them to buy me a crossbow for weeks. I...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I've never met a single person in my life that wishes they would have spent *more* on their wedding, after the fact. Most people wish they would have spent less, and used the extra money on something much more practical like a home, or paying off debt. Fast-forward a couple years into your...

    I went with a Corsair H100i water cooler not because I could push significantly higher overclocks than a good air cooler, but because it is much, much quieter. Air cooling can easily be just as good, for less money, but you're going to hear it when that fan hits max RPMs. Since I'm able to...

    Tablets

    It's a pretty ingenious money-grab on Apple's part. Keep the iPad mini roughly 1 generation behind the full sized iPad in technology. Then when the iPad goes up to version 4, the next mini can have all of the tech that was in the Ipad 3. Cuts down on R&D/development costs for the Mini, you...

    Shaving

    I've made a horrible mistake. Started using Feather blades a couple months ago, and absolutely love them. Was finally about out of my little 20-pack that I had bought, so decided to go for the big savings and order a 100-pack. Well, on Amazon at least, all the 100-packs actually ship from...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    That's pretty much my mom. My parents got divorced after 30 years of marriage(my dad was cheating). At that point, my mom was almost 60 years old, so she had no desire to try to start a new life with someone else. She's just been single for the last 10 years now. I don't think she'll ever...

    It's basically a better Taco Bell. Think Taco Bueno or Amigos if you have any of those chains in your area. It's like Taco Bell with real beef, yet still almost as cheap. It's damn good.

    Thats my biggest gripe about PS3. I still remember the day MLB The Show 11 came out, my buddy and I went to the store, bought it, brought it home, and weren't able to play it for 3 HOURS. The required full install took like 30 minutes and then the patch took another 2-3 hours. Shit was...

    Theres no perceivable performance difference. The only difference are price(4 will generally be cheaper, smaller GB per stick), but going 2 leaves room for expansion later without wasting sticks by having to replace them, so that's a tradeoff. I guess the only other issues would be using less...

    Smartphones

    The biggest deciding factor for me between the S4 snd the HTC One was no removable battery on the HTC. I like to root my phone and fuck around with custom roms and that was a deal breaker. I need that ability to pull the battery to reset if i screw up and lock up my phone. I also liked the...

    Smartphones

    Pretty much the only phone I've ever used that had what i would consider good speakers was the HTC One. Every other phone has speakers that are varying degrees of crap to mediocre. Even a cheap set of earbuds are going to sound better than 99% of phone speakers out there.

    Several years back a customer of mine came in with his new wife. Total Russian mail-order bride, she was a smoking hot 6-foot tall blonde, looked like she was straight out of a James Bond movie. The real kicker was that in Russia(or whatever Eastern Block, ex-Soviet country she was from) she...

    While true, never at any time in history has it been easier for stupid people to survive, breed, and even thrive. If you're a dumbass doing stupid shit in the middle ages, you aren't living very far into adulthood. Nowadays with all the safety precautions and medical advancements, we can...

    The proliferation of stupidity

    This is the main problem. We have a whole generation of kids who grew up playing sports where no score was kept and everyone got a trophy just for participating, and a lot of the education system has been set up the same way. Did you show up and make an effort? Well, then you pass. Hooray...

    Yeah, no one needs a 1000+ watt PSU unless you have 2 or 3 high-end video cards in your machine. A 750-850 will easily power any system with a single video card with plenty of room to spare. I have a backup UPS with a digital display that always shows how many watts are being used at any...

    I only use internet on my phone when I'm away from my home or office, like in a restaurant or bar or in my car or something. Otherwise its computer or tablet 100% of the time. Tablets are so much nicer than trying to do any web surfing on a phone, you can actually use full websites instead of...

    That 700 recommended watts has to be for a full system + a 7990. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but I don't think any of the high-end AMD cards pull more than 300-350 watts at max load. I'd still probably leave yourself a lot of breathing room and go with an 850 is the price...

    always overshoot your psu estimations by at least 20-30% if not more. You don't want to tax your psu by running it at 90% of max capacity all the time. If your calculations show that you need 450w, go 600 or 650 at least. Running at closer to half capacity all the time is going to keep things...

    Go Seasonic on the power supply. Really can't recommend them enough. Hell, a good 1/3 to 1/4 of other companies PSUs are just rebranded Seasonics. Might as well get it from the source and cut out the middle man/markup. Over the years Seasonic has made PSUs for Corsair and a lot of other...
