So Asus released a bunch of R7260X-DC2OC-2GD5 cards that failed to return from idle mode (black screen issue), crashed, and had artifacts in games. They then released a bios which "fixed" the problem by disabling all the power saving features and making the card run at full speed even when...

Or, possibly a better title would be "**** you Asus" So, I got a Asus R7260X-OC-2GD5. OC edition? https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/R7260XOC2GD5/ "overclocked for performance that's up to 75MHz faster than reference" Overclocked??? Actual clock speed? Hang on a sec? Isn't the...

http://www.techhive.com/article/2895908/yes-asus-cheated-the-fcc-fined-the-router-maker-last-year.html I got an Asus RT-AC66u partly because of it's excellent wireless performance. Turns out they were cheating, using illegally high radio power. Where is the tech press on this issue? How many...

An example: I was looking at 260X cards. Spotted the Gigabyte GV-R726XOC-2GD from a local supplier. No ram speed indicated, so I went to the gigabyte page. They are now up to revision 3 of the card. Now the original 260X spec is with ram at 6500Mhz. The Rev 1 card comes with ram running at...

Yes, that's 230 HP from a 3 cylinder, 1.3 litre engine... Plus the electric drive train. Great scot! l5I6xuhNgVg How many race cars have that kind of capacity to HP ratio, let alone a road car. That's really taking turbocharging all the way.

Sergei Prokofiev - Dance of the Knights E0Mt6X2bRzI Richard Wagner - Ride Of The Valkyries GGU1P6lBW6Q Star Wars- The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) -bzWSJG93P8 That's three most obvious ones I could think of.

Hit a skippy, which sorta rolled down the side of the car after hitting at the front right corner, damaging every panel down the side. :( Then two weeks before it was due into the shop for repairs, got rear ended while stopped to turn across the road into a driveway, by a 17 year old chick...

Finally a good copy is up on youtube! f-jWIBRRRdA :D One of my favourite Aussie songs. Great shame that so many people were stupid enough, that he mostly stopped playing it.

So, Ive got an old lenovo core2 based laptop with gigabit ethernet I'm using as a low powered file server. I've got USB drives attached as storage. One on the internal USB2 ports, and one USB3 drive on a USB3 expresscard adapter. Both drives work fine, but I can't get them to spin down. They...

Great look at local racing in my part of the world. rQToqwGBEPk hehe.. go the little Escort!!! Go you good thing!!! and something about going across the finish line backwards being a purely stylistic decision.... c3926CsQpyA u3gviFqV2kU 1w0TBWav3dk CukfwhOpyJ0 vert vert vert vert vert...

Am presently listening to Karma Koma and loving the bass. Best damn speakers I've ever owned. lol, response from 30somethingHz to 30Khz. 48Hz to 20Khz +- 3db. Crazy bits of gear. :D I'm gunna be listening to a lot of music in the next few weeks. edit: woohoo, better choice, I'm now listening to...

Seems great so far. 4 speed auto box is the nicest I've had in any car I've owned. 2.5 flat four is a great motor. Stacks of torque for a 4 cylinder. Approx 170 hp and 170 ft-lb. It's turning 4 wheels, and lugging a fair bit of weight around, so it isn't super quick, but is more than enough for...
