Some Asus mootherboards have a low fan RPM warning which you can either set to a lower number or disable.

I would recommend RAID10, the RAID5 rebuild time on a 3TB disk can approach 24hrs, during which time a)your entire array is at risk, and b) performance is severely degraded. The same applies for RAID6, although you can obviously lose an extra disk, but the parity calculations are even more...

I work for an Architecture practice, The most important thing for AutoCAD performance is CPU power, you're definitely best off with an i7 if possible. AutoCAD tends to prefer professional grade graphics such as quadros but you'd be looking at more than a grand for a dell/HP mobile workstation...

We've had around 6-10 OCZ Vertex 2's fail in work laptops, probably around 50% of the SSDs we rolled out. Most have just died randomly and left all the data unrecoverable, some have died after being removed from a perfectly working machine. All the drives had cold boot problems with certain...

If your Uni uses Turnitin or something similar, be warned that they are quite hard to fool.

An Argentinian Steakhouse on the riverside called "Meet", best steak I've ever had!

Poor UARS, I got pretty familiar with it and used it's successor AURA while I was at uni a couple of years ago. Amazing how long it was operational given that it was only designed to last 3 years.

I'm afraid not, according to the manual only the CPU Fan can be controlled on your motherboard. The other two will run at full speed all the time.

Pretty much all the top tier pastes will perform within a few degrees of each other, which won't make much difference when overclocking tbh. I would say the best performing paste would be mx-3, but it's also more difficult to spread out evenly than most of the others. You could also go the...

Look underneath the routers, they should have a Model number on them. If you post this people can find out its capabilities and help you better.

MPhys Master of Physics with Honours in Physics (Edinburgh) Physics (It was an Undergraduate Masters) Another year to decide about my future, to carry on student lifestyle and to call myself Master of Physics (none of which are good reasons I know) Student loan Not really, as I want to...

I graduated in June with a Masters in Physics, and for the last 4 months have been applying for IT jobs. I barely heard back from anyone (probably due to only having 3 months experience in an IT role) but last week had an interview at an architecture firm, had a 2nd interview on Monday and a job...

If they go bankrupt, do their MEPs have to stand down?

You can make good money tutoring in various subjects, although of course that depends on your education. Going rate is usually around £20 per hour.

You could phone VM up and say you want a refund for the month for which you won't actually be able to use your internet. That should get some kind of reaction.

If you're dead set on wireless, I would recommend an internal card, but buying an aerial base to move the aerial away from the EM interference of your pc. They cost about a fiver, but greatly improve signal and speed in my experience.

TRIM does not currently work in RAID, depending on your choice of SSD this may be important for long term performance. Some drives have automatic garbage collection which has a similar effect to TRIM.

I was under the impression that supermarket fuels contain less additives/cleaners/lubricants than Shell/BP etc. So using supermarket fuels over time, you can get buildup of gunk in your injectors and other parts of the engine. Is this accurate?
