A friend of mine gave me a roll of these LEDs. http://www.amazon.com/SUPERNIGHT-16-4ft-Waterproof-Flexible-Multifunctional/dp/B00BMHLWSO/ref=sr_1_8?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1425499250&sr=1-8 I was wondering if I could safely plug them into the 4-pin Molex connector on my PSU. IIRC, the yellow is...

I might go ahead and give both a try, and see which one performs better for my usage. I'll have to wait till I get my Enthoo Pro for Christmas though, cause my current case is micro-ATX and the Intel motherboard is ATX. XD

I've already decided I want to upgrade to an i5, not another AMD CPU though. I'm probably going to stick with the FX for now though, like you suggested.

First of all, I'm PRETTY sure the FX-4130 is going to be better, but I want to double check. My brother bought a Celeron G1820 to update his BIOS so he could use a Haswell Refresh CPU on an older Z87 motherboard. I'm currently running an FX-4130 with 8 gigs of RAM and an overclocked R9 270...

Ok, that puts my mind at ease. I have a new motherboard ready to go (don't worry, i tested to make sure it works because of loss of warranty while waiting) when I get enough money for an i5.

Just got an SSD, and so far, I've noticed a noticeable speed increase over my 7200 RPM HDD, but it's not quite as big as I was expecting. I don't know if I just had my hopes to high, or is my 3 Gb/s ports on my cheapo motherboard limiting the speeds of my SSD? Here's a screenshot of my tested...

So, what with it being Cyber Monday, and me using a cheapo $5 mouse, I figured today would be a good day to pick up a new mouse. I want it to have at least two extra buttons, but more wouldn't hurt. I was looking at the 6E 4000 DPI verison of this mouse...

So, what with it being Cyber Monday, and me using a cheapo $5 mouse, I figured today would be a good day to pick up a new mouse. I'd prefer to not spend more than $20, but if there's nothing good at that price range I can if I must bump it up to $30. I was looking at these...

Mission success! Motherboard is working, and nothing went wrong! :D

Okay. It occurred to me briefly the other day that the outside might be conductive, glad I decided to ask. :P Anyway, really the only thing I need to concern myself with is static, so if I avoid touching the motherboard while things are plugged in as much as possible and make sure I'm...

So my plan is to have the motherboard sitting on top of the static bag, with a stick of RAM and a Celeron in it to make sure it works before I pack it away for a while. So is it safe to just have it sitting on my desk (it IS on carpet, but I can wear rubber-soled shoes if that helps), just...

No one? :o

My dad is looking at getting a new laptop, and I was wondering which on of these CPUs will offer the best performance? Go with the AMD E2 6110 or Intel Pentium 3558U? Not entirely CPU related, but does anyone see any reason to go with one of these over the other...
