Ehh, I have had crappy luck with Samsung SSDs as have alot of people who used the 840 series. The SSD wasn't bad but they ruined them with awful software.

I've never had a problem with any of the Samsung SSDs that I have owned. Both of the 840 Evos that I have are still running pretty solid.

My 840 Evo suffered the "firmware update" problem. I haven't even installed the software for my 850 EVO and I've had it for like 6 months. :lol:

Irritating; I can play GW1 pretty smoothly on Scrooge, but PVZ (1), which is all I'm likely to have time to play during the week, jitters. This is even overclocked to 2.3GHz (shows 2286MHz). I could take it to 2.4GHz when I installed some DDR3-2100 (?) in it, but not with DDR3-1600, even if I slowed the memory down some. It probably needs more playing. I'd rather put the faster RAM in Minion.

I don't know how RAM works. I recent switched form 12gb running in dual channel of 1600 CL9 to 12gb of 1333 CL9 because it matched my build better and I had it sitting around, and I actually GAINED 1.5fps in Unigine Heaven and Valley. Makes no sense.

That's funky. Wasn't it the Common DDR DRAM Myths Debunked that actually said dual channel is not always better? That was a great article, I'll have to go back and check it out.

DRAM Will Run Faster With All Slots Filled
Running two sticks of DRAM puts less stress on the memory controller than four. Less electricity is needed, the memory controller needs less voltage to remain stable and, while it isn’t noticeable, the DRAM runs ever so slightly quicker (generally). The same holds true for tri- and quad-channel motherboards. Part of the misconception is that four DIMMs (often sold as a quad-channel set) will always run in full quad-channel mode, even though a dual-channel motherboard doesn’t support this feature.
Dual-Channel Mode Doubles The Data Rate, Or Is Twice As Fast
This is another misconception. The DRAM itself is DDR (double data rate), so it runs at double the clock frequency (800MHz DRAM has a 1600 MT/s data rate). When you put two DIMMs in dual-channel mode, the DRAM goes from operating as an individual 64-bit device to working together and being seen by the MC as a single 128-bit device. Theoretically, that would double the bandwidth, but in actuality, it provides a performance boost of only 20 to 50 percent on Intel CPUs, and a little less on AMD rigs.
That's what I was looking for.

I saw an i8 a few weeks ago. They look pretty cool. I have a little over $1000 saved up..saving....maybe for a down payment on a car. (458 ,911, or LP-760 -4 SV)...Dunno
😛 JK about those cars but I am saving up for a down payment, Maybeeeee.....

or y'know, A server for all the photos...
Or more Hard Drives..
Or food in my case... I have this bad habit of getting really hungry in the middle of classes and run to our club funded student store, get my officer discount, and get snacks... Then I run back to class... You'd think the running would cancel all the calorie intake, yet here I am, fat as a pig?

Right, but I had 3 sticks running in dual channel in both circumstances population the same slots.

Last weekend at the grocery store I took this photo of my hooptie next to this 996 Turbo. It was clearly a daily driver. Filthy interior, all manner of junk in the rear, random stickers on the rear window, dirty wheels. Loved it. Love when people actually use their cars.

It really irks me that people who buy expensive cars just keep theirs in the garage. I sorta understand if it's a Veryron and you get 8-15 miles to the gallon... But you should drive the thing rather than have 1 mile on the clock and it's sitting there in a showcase...
It also irks me that people are forced to sleep in their cars in college due to monetary issues... and the amount of homeless we have in the world.

I agree with you d34th.
Bossy , You fasting today? Im so hungry and thirsty D:
Tiny, what are some nice, reliable, good looking german cars I can get (used) I prefer german steering..not Japanese or whatever
..
Forgot to mention, my Uncle let me drive his maxed out 2015 M4 😀 It was amazing. LOVED THE HUD, Raw sound, steering, and I wouldnt get it convertible, but even though his was hardtop convertible, he put it down and I made the engine roar ;D

Wow, it's been a while since I have posted here.....again lol.
Decided to give AMD a try a few days ago, and bought myself a MSI R9 390x. Nice card, but I've been getting software problems, like crashing in Direct X11 games, and blue screens. Returned the card after 2 days of use. Going to continue using my 770, but wow was that card a headache to use.
Mirakledba - Why a used German car? They don't tend to be reliable if you don't take care of them well. Used, older Japanese cars, like a Honda Civic, or a Toyota corolla are pretty reliable, and they have a huge aftermarket, so repairing them is pretty cheap.
Tiny - Really? My 840 pro have been pretty solid to me, and continues to be fast. I think the evo's have been getting the prooblems.

Speaking of cars, I recently got a 2015 Civic LX in modern steel metallic (dark grey). It's no lambo but I am enjoying it and love the design 😀
Pics to come later this week since I have been busy with school.
FWIW my friend bought a used BMW 335i (iirc) with 90k miles. Broke down in the first two weeks and literally sat in his drive way for the entire past summer since he was trying to do the repairs himself.

Nice, congrats! Yup, but that v-tec kicked in haha. The new 2016 looks pretty nice.
People tend to think that they're getting a nice deal on a older BMW, or a Mercedes, but they have a terrible resell value, and they require more care to own. Of course, they can be good cars, but that's if you keep with the maintenance, and that can be pretty expensive after a while.

Does high horsepower mean higher torque? Because if someone talks about their card going 160mph for instance, it's obviously highly dangerous to actually to that on a road. So I'm guessing when people refer to "fast" cars they usually refer to the torque that is more important to them.

Bossy - I have been gone for a while too....back and posted one thing yesterday.
Cars ... Yeah I like german cars...USED? Of course I DONT WANT a used car but I have to probably...I think...Maybe, that is what Ill be getting...a USED car. I have to pay the down payment and maybe part of the payments.

Just buy a Camry or Corolla and be done with it. That's the SENSIBLE thing to do. But during this time in our lives, we have a calling to do crazy things, such as mixing Doritos and Mountain Dew for the "Ultimate MLG drink". That wasn't me... Mountain Dew makes me sick... I'm game for the standard Red Doritos though
