When i got my videocard I got asus because it matched my color scheme and was one of the cheapest cards available. Still with i got an EVGA card because 2 weeks later the 900 series came out, and EVGA has that upgrade thing IIRC

i didn't really care for the aesthetic as long as the card was black and not horribly gaudy so i just went with a basic evga for my build

my dad paid for part of my build with the tax returns or whatever. my portion of it was paid with some winnings from a state competition.

There are some that are due for tomorrow on scan.co.uk that you could order yourself, however that's �640 which is more like $940~. You'd also need to know someone in the UK who you trust to mail it to you.

Edit: Overclockers.co.uk will have some in stock on the 26th for the same price and they offer delivery via international courier through DHL

Anyone have any ideas on what material I could use to encase a laptop lcd and the lcd controller I bought, to make a portable external monitor?

I'm a bit curious about my processor. It was an i5-2520M advertised as being 2.5GHz with a turbo freuqency up to 3.2GHz, but in Linux it's constantly going above 2.5GHz. Everything reports it as being 3.2GHz stock.

Even on battery it's reported as being 3.2, and I'm pretty certain it's decreasing battery life. Is there any tools/etc. to keep 3.2 on AC power, but reduce it back to stock 2.5 on battery?

Bisjac · June 18, 2015, 04:34:07 PM

Ou gp into your windows power settings and set it to custom, bd dobt let the computer decide when you use the power.

But a real user who cares about performance, wouldnt ever be running it on battery...

TheBlackParrot · June 18, 2015, 04:35:42 PM

I care about both performance and battery... that's why I was asking...
I'll just google around

EDIT: found what I was wanting

Looking for a new mouse, mine just stuff the bed and while it was pretty good, I'm not quite sure if I should get it again or not.

So which mouse does everyone use? Here's my old one, lasted a decent 2 years of heavy use. Wasn't a huge fan of the LEDs, but whatever.

x86 Or ARM?
