Sexy Hardware Close-Up Pic Clubhouse.

56K warning. Hope this is close enough for you.

Took apart my HP Z600 workstation to evaluate the possibility of swapping out the backplate for something not proprietary and junk. (Spoiler: It's integrated in to the processor retention bracket, so basically nope.)

You just made my Sound Blaster E5 and AKG K553 Pro combo cry.
Just about every Sennheiser headphone I've had (HD280 Pro, HD 518, CX 5.00 G, CX300-b). everything from them feels like it's missing a lot of brightness/clarity. Can't seem to EQ it in either. I don't like too much brightness, but I get annoyed when it's missing.

Don't think I didn't notice that stacked fan back there! Did you gut a dead 120mm to make a shroud, or is that two 120mm fans sandwiched together?

Its actually 2 92mm fans,both work.i did it to form a heat tunnel to the exhaust fan since that pc gets zero fresh air

I hate using tablets kn tpu..ughhh

Recently I read that a lot of ppl r having issues with the Qualcomm Atheros Wireless-AC card that Asus provide with their Z170 serie's motherboard that has onboard Wifi in their WI-FI GO! Module and it doesn't matter if u use the newest driver or the one that comes on the driver dvd I kept getting this error in event viewer:

WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped unexpectedly.

Module Path: C:\Windows\system32\ihvmanager\AthIHVManager.dll


The Asus WI-FI GO! Card Module:

The Wifi card is model QCNFA364A as u can read on the picture right above here from Qualcomm Atheros. also in Windows 10 it's called Qualcomm QCA61x4A:

I decided to change the card out with a Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 the smaller one of Intel's two Wireless-AC cards, the big brother is the Wireless-AC 7260 card but this here does well for under half of the price and does support Intel WiDI aka. Wireless Display with dongles for Miracast which the Qualcomm doesn't. (The 3160 can only do 433mbps and 1x1 TX/RX streams where the big brother can do 300/867mbps and have 2x2 TX/RX streams both has 2.4/5GHz):

I paid like $14,75 / £10,14 / €13,08 from one of my distributors I use at work.

The 2 cards side by side (Yes I covered the MAC and more on these cards and ik I didn't do that above but it's covered by wires ):

Wondering if anyone knows about a specific software that makes a picture appear that it is on top of a piece of black glass mirror?

Seems someone in this thread at some point posted some pictures using it and there was a discussion but dang if I can find it.

I took this while playing around with some mayhems laser green UV dye. I removed the purple from the UV light in post and added some split toning so the green is more intense and the shadows are blue.

I had to cool my Asus GTX Titan like that with the stock cooler if it didn't wanted it to throttle even after re-paste and air blowed the cooler it selv clean it still had problems so not really excited about the reference cooler sadly.
