Good list from Anandtech.

Emphasis added by me.

Basically, the new platform and CPU will enter a new extremely low power state if the PSU can handle it. (Apparently older PSU's can fail if the load on them drops below a certain threshold.) ]]> General Hardware James http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?326521-Haswell-compatible-PSU-s Are optical SFP modules cross vendor comptiable? http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?326507-Are-optical-SFP-modules-cross-vendor-comptiable&goto=newpost Thu, 09 May 2013 16:32:17 GMT Just wondering I have a Netgear ProSafe GS110TP Ethernet GigE Switch and it supports 2x SFP modules for fiber.

Just wondering I have a
Netgear ProSafe GS110TP Ethernet GigE Switch

and it supports 2x SFP modules for fiber. I checked around and those module for the netgear are $300+

At work we have GigE single and multimode SFP that are for Fujitsu multiplexer and Cisco ONS multiplexer that are used for service drops to customers.

With our contracts those SFP are cheaper than the netgear ones. Anyone know if SFP are cross vendor compatible?
I'm just wondering I didn't unpack my switch yet and don't want to mess it up by putting SFP from other vendors in if it potentially damage it. ]]> General Hardware rimmerchant http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?326507-Are-optical-SFP-modules-cross-vendor-comptiable Adobe heralds subscription-only future for Photoshop and Creative Suite http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?326491-Adobe-heralds-subscription-only-future-for-Photoshop-and-Creative-Suite&goto=newpost Mon, 06 May 2013 21:15:17 GMT http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/05/06/Adobe-kills-perpetual-licenses-as-creative-suite-moves-to-creative-cloud-cc BBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/05...ative-cloud-cc

There is my validation overclock. Ran stable with wprime (wd 1024) 3x with no blue screen.

Tried 4.2 ghz but failed. Just wanted to post that I am am so stoked to have learned how to overclock and properly build a pc.
Can't wait to get pics up to show you guys. I love this rig and built in 2009! the only upgrades so far were the GTX 580 and SSD.

Here is my setup:
i7 920 OC 4.0 Ghz

It's a 8port POE switch. all ports are PowerOverEthernet

going to use it for my network IP cameras and they connection via a single POE/network cable

I've never dealt with POE stuff before but can I assume it is safe to uplink one of the POE ports on the switch to my regular router?

Basically, everytime I am using the printer, or the shredder, or if I walk away with them still on my head to about 10 feet, they get fuzzy. It's extremely annoying.

Does anyone know of a good pair that is better than this pair, that is around $100?. I am willing to buy a better pair with a higher frequency of wireless than 2.4ghz... are there DECT 6.0 headsets out there or what?. ]]> General Hardware voodoochild16 http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?326445-Best-Gaming-Headset Is now a good time to build a new system (IE anything BIG coming up soon?) http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?326421-Is-now-a-good-time-to-build-a-new-system-(IE-anything-BIG-coming-up-soon-)&goto=newpost Mon, 22 Apr 2013 02:55:01 GMT Sorry, I don't keep up with hardware news that much. I do know that I think its time to put together a new machine because I think my mobo might be failing...getting BSOD's on almost a daily basis now.
Before I dive in, I'd like to know if there is anything huge coming up on the horizon that would be worth waiting for rather than plunging in now.

Right now, I'm leaning towards a Intel Core i7-3770K based system...would be my first Intel since 1999 :p (AMD seems to have fallen way behind Intel, no?)

Anyway, thanks to anyone who might offer advice :) ]]> General Hardware BoaConstrictor http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?326421-Is-now-a-good-time-to-build-a-new-system-(IE-anything-BIG-coming-up-soon-)
