Livestreamed Childbirth Is the Only Sex-Ed You'll Ever Need
Lynsee and Anders welcomed darling daughter Solveig into the world by aiming a webcam at unmentionable parts of her mother's anatomy and livestreaming her birth, making her the youngest oversharer in the history of the internet.
Unspeakable perverts and frightening hippies will be disappointed to hear there was no spread-eagle shot of little Solveig crowning, but everything else is legit enough to turn horny teens off sex forever, if only because the phrase "birth livestream" is really starting to gross me out. Lynsee is strangely placid as the baby is emerging. (Apparently she got an epidural.) But when the nurse plops a scrunchy-faced, goo-smeared Solveig onto her chest, and the presence of a multi-limbed being that was, until mere moments ago, thrashing around her vagina totally freaks her out. Anyway, here's the video. The excitement starts around 8:30.
And thus, with a grunt, a shriek, and an unceremonious plop, sticky little Solveig outdid every single oversharing ego-blogger on the planet in the first five seconds of her life. Congrats, Solveig, you are the Miracle Baby of Generation TMI. I'd say you'll never live this down, but Spencer Pratt skipped his vasectomy and Nadya Suleman's always a wildcard, so don't count your nanny cam endorsements, just yet.
UPDATE: I— oh my god— apparently witnessing the miracle of Solveig's birth answered none of my questions about how babies are made, because this post originally identified Solveig as a boy. But Solveig is a girl. All I can say is, as soon as this child learns how to type her name into a search engine, she's totally screwed. At least she's adorable?

Hi all,
I can't believe I wrote that much!! I must be off my rocker! Haha. I got a new IPad 3 and I was excited to type on it:)
Does it have a Enter key? If so then maybe you could try going back and making it a little easier for people to read.

For me, I'm happy with the GTX 555's performance in the games I play, such as BF3, WoW, and MW3 currently. I personally couldn't justify the cost of purchasing a new card for a slight performance increase just after I bought the X51.
By the time I would choose to upgrade the graphis card it would be time for a whole new system.
Just my 2 cents.
Lol I did use the enter button to create paragraphs but when I posted the novel it never showed the spaces:). You make a good point faceless but it would be nice just to know we have a nice option if ever we wanted to upgrade. I am perfectly happy with the gtx 555. The only game it has found hard to cope with is crisis 2 with high res textures dx11 with ultra on objects enabled
I think this system has a nice life span ahead of it with a few little upgrades.
Just want to point out, TDP dose not equal to the maximum power consumption.
So far I'm more than Happy with the achievement of this Mods running GPU TEMPS at max 46 degrees is a WoW
Is it worth it? To me yes because I prefer performance then having a machine that those not do what it supposed to do out of the box
As i say in the past I don't like gaming with a card that overheats! I don't enjoy gaming with a Jet Engine sound coming from the PCI fan, never got use to it, it has always freaked me out!
Can this MOD be use in as Home theater on my living room? Yes it definitely can, you will certainly find a way to hide the radiator some were in the back of your home setting
Is my X51 noisy with this MOD? Not at all, not only is not noisy is absolutely COOL & Silent
For a reminder:
The AKA MOD can be use in any graphics card & you must find a way to cool your Video Ram because since you be taking out the original cooler out of your video card, your video ram will be no longer cooled, so u just have to put a blower inside or do like me putting a panel fan
For a detail info on the AKA MOD go here >> http://www.overclock.net/t/1203528/official-nvidia-gpu-mod-club-aka-the-mod
Here below pictures of Alienware X51 AKA MODWill update more soon, the only danger i encaunter here, was tuching the fan radiator, I almost louse a finger, so i must buy a fan grille to prevent an accident

Hi guys.
I managed to downgrade. Here are the steps, please do them under your own risk. Note: This instructions are for Win7x64:
1. Download bios A07 from Dell support site
2. Try to install it.
3. A message will come saying that you have a newer bios. Do not close it.
4. Go to your windows 7 user directory and look for the last folder modified in your temp folder, in my case it was:
There you will find the following files:
5. Copy them to C:\Bios (or any folder but with short name)
6. Close the message, the next pop will say downgrade is not allowed, close it. Finally close the last Window (update button will be greyed out).
7. Open the cmd with Administrator privileges
8. Go to C:\Bios
9. Execute: AFUWIN64 a07.bin
10. Wait until the whole process is finished (about 1 or 2 minutes).
11. Restart
12. Enjoy.
I hope this will help those who were "Affected" by the A10 update. In my case with either update my memory still is 1333 :(
you were very quick in posting the downgrade solution from A10 back to A07. Was about to post the same thing. Cheers mate. As i said, i managed to downgrade back to A07. Don't know how to post screenshot and managed to reuse back my 1Tb but then again i like that my idle temps are now 39 degrees and was at 63 degrees when playing Skyrim. Was 41 idle and 72 when gaming previously.
Well I was getting some hoty temps in the X51 since the last six months, at a point that i did not thr doing Benches since my GPU was climbing to over 95 during those Stress Tests,
And yes I was going to fallow the same route some of my friends here in the forum went with, just buy a new case and recuper what could be recuperable from the x51 and build a new system
But before doing that i wanted to try few more tricks for the fun of it, first I decided to finally do the (right side panel fan Mod) this has nothing to do with the left side panel mod that has been done by Freshy Deff Youtoube!! At all
Doing the left side panel it only helps for making bread your motherboard and if u want to go that route you must say goodbye to your Video CD driver
Here you can see my todays temps after the modification of the right side panel MOD, I was getting in idle between 40 to 50>> now I'm sitting at lovelys 37 and
when I was Benching before the MOD, as i mentioned i was going to the sky way over 95
Today after 3 tries my max temps during BEnches with the highest settings is 85 as u can see
This MOD requires saying goodbye to the original Alienware 1 TB hard disk >> I did that long time ago and i'm using SSD, whose placed on top of the DVD reader & the original hard disk is on usb 3 port outside of the case
Once you remove the original hard disk you will have to remove the cage where he was sitting in and you will end up with a huge empty space and you will see a tiny hole<<<<< THAT is where the cage was screw in<<<< well very simple now !! And that hole is the one u be using as your center point and u will dig right there!!!!!!!!!
Buy an 80 millimeters fan and you will need to buy something that can dig a hole from the interior of your X51 graphics card compartment
I shouse a 75 millimeters one like the one on the picture here below (2 usd)
once you dig your hole through the metal keep pushing so you get the plastic side panel part to get cut as well !!!!
Bingo it was not that difficult, no need to measure nothing, no need to think just use that hole and boom
Then you mount from the inside your fan 8x8 (mine is totally silent and has only one speed, i connected directly to the mother board with the adapter the fan came in right on the dvd connector.
I was lucky to have already the exterior fan cover wish was from an old sound system and it happens to be exactly the size of the fan and the four holes matched the fans holes, i was really lucky
You can just make one yourself or go the easy way buy a square one, there are plenty on the market >>fan filters cages
IN ALL I DID NOT SPEND MORE THAN 12 dollars and I'm very impressed with the results
BTW I own the X51 since over 8 months now and I been running a GTX670 Gainward Phantom 2 fans >> wish I don't recommend because it demanded a lot of cuttings in order to fit in my case
And even i never had shuts dawns, like some here do, I did see very high temps from day one
And in certain parts of some games when it got real hot, i had some lags and weird behaviours >>>well hot is no good for your cards
Now that everything seems almost normal, I will go ahead an buy a cheap PSU (30 usd) for a modular 700 watts just to play with it and see if that makes any differences as many seem to say it!
Thanks for reading stay tuned will come back with the PSU story very soon
★ Alienware X51 Full System Breakdown/ Disassembly; Alienware X51 Case Opening (Gaming PC Build)
In the past Chitagong and some of us worked together to find a solution for the Jet Engine Noise on the X51
After deep testing it came out that the evil fan was not the Cpu but the PCie fan near the Vdeo Card, we then shut off that fan and did some tests and find out even when power off the temps did not raise that much so it was found that by lowering the RMP of that fan the JET Egine noise will disappear!!!
Then Petervan came up with his invention of inverting that same PCIe fan, applies to our discussion as well, and will help some ppl improve their GPU temps.
Originally the front Pcie fan works as an air intake. Notice the dust collected on the grill under the front bezel. Peter removed the fan guard, flipped the fan and reattached the guard. Now it is working as an exhaust fan. There is an amazing 5 degrees temperature drop on video card. Please notice this mod may not work well on video cards with blower fans.
To explain to those who don't quite understand , the fan as assembled originally on the X51s blow air INTO the case. This creates air pressure where the blower fan from the GTX 555/545 can take in colder air and blow it out the back.
Certain fan designs on some 7850s blow air away from the heatsink, instead of into it. So instead of creating more air pressure with the case fan, you need something to blow the hot air out.
So what petervivian did was REVERSE the Pcie fan on the casing, so the hot air from the GPU/casing can blow OUT of the case.
Stock airflow:
Outside air --> Case fan (blow inwards) --> air inside casing --> GPU heatsink --> outside
petervivian mod:
GPU heatsink --> air inside casing --> case fan (blow outwards) --> outside
Now you will be able to reach the two black screws secure the front fan.Where is the T3 screw holding the panel located?It is In the left and right side panels are defined by Dell. Check Chris' x51 parts list.The T3 screw is near the biggest metal cable management clip which holds a bunch of cables. Look carefully.
(It may be hiding beneath these cables).
Here's a picture illustrating the right panel screw location: tHANKS TO @JSCARECROW78

Check out my water cooler :)
Here is after playing metro 2033 for 45 minutes on high settings 1080 res.
The system is all contained inside the x51 chassis, no mods needed with this either. The only problems I have right now is that the fans are just hooked right up to power, so they are on full blast all the time. I need to switch the fans to run off the motherboards fan leads.
Pasted from <http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/p/19485211/20271621.aspx>
Razer blade
Small screw driver
small syringe
Magicool mini radiator (40mm X 80mm)
1/4 clear hose from home depot
Alienware water cooling loop or corsair h50 (other water pump heads will work too, but I have only used the alienware pump and a antec 620)
Distilled water or other cooling fluid (I used distilled water with a little bit of auto coolant)
2 40mm fans
1 fan cable splitter
molex to fan plug adapter
First thing you need to do it drain the alienware system. Cut the hoses and drain the fluid, then remove the pump cover to get to the barbs. There are 2 screws that hold the cover on, they are on the flat sides of the contact surface (you will see what I mean when you look at the pump)
After you remove this cover you can use your razer to cut the hoses off the pump.
Now you need to hook up your new pipes, the barbs on the radiator are slightly larger than the hose so you will need to use some force here, but they will go on.
After both hoses are on the radiator, press one hose onto the pump. Now you can start filling your loop. Fill it till the liquid is halfway up the tubes and the radiator is full. Dont worry about air at this time. Once you have some fluid in there connect the other hose to the pump (DO NOT TURN ON THE PUMP YET)
NOTE: Do not try to fill the system like I show in the first picture, it will not work. The hoses are too hard to get onto radiator to do while underwater.
With the cover off the pump there is a screw on the top, this is a fill screw. Remove it and using the syringe, start filling the system, the hole is small, so you may need to use a poker to get the fluid to get past the air trying to get out.
One you have the lines full turn on the pump, you dont need to put the screw back in to turn on the pump, nothing will leak out of the screw as long as the pump is flat and level.
The pump will start bubbling the water alot at this point, as the bubbles hit the pump, some of them with go back into the loop, some will go into the little chamber where the fill screw is. Keep adding fluid while the pump is running. after awhile you wont be able to fill anymore, but you will see lots of micro bubbles stuck to the lines.
Put the fill screw back in, and shake the radiator and the tap on the tubes while the system is running. This will force all the air back into the loop and into the chamber on the pump. Remove the screw and refill again. Keep doing this till you have all the air out of the system.
Now you can mount the pump head, the pump should be plugged into a constant power, and the fans hooked up to the stock fan header.
The radiator fits just above the IO ports, and all the screw holes line up perfect with the mesh on the back, you may have to adjust a little bit to get them to line up, but they do line up. Screw down the radiator.
At this point you should be ready to go. You can alter the design a little bit by adding a push/pull fan system (add 2 more fans to the outside of the case)
The radiator can be gotten from microcenter $30
Hoses from homedepot $3
Alienware pump from ebay (do some searching, there is a guy who lists them for $50)
Everything else is from microcenter or any other computer shop. ~$30
Questions or thoughts on ways to make it better are welcome, I can answer as best I can.
They sell them at microcenter, they are made by magicool, its a 40mm X 80mm radiator.
With the current gen consoles really showing their age, and no true next generation consoles in the horizon, I decided to make the jump to PC gaming this year. This was largely inspired by the imminent Diablo 3 launch and the introduction of Alienware X51, a PC that looks like a console and is easy for a total noob to upgrade. I have been having my PC now for a few weeks, tweaking and testing it and thought I'd share my experiences with GAF. Alienware X51Alienware X51 is a box roughly the size of the original Xbox. The base setup comes in three varieties - i3, i5 or i7. It's advisable to pick the i5 version because it comes with the 330W power adapter and runs cooler than the i7, which doesn't add much to gaming anyway.Alienware kit is often ridiculed here for being overpriced and underpowered, but I estimated I'm paying some $150 over the price of the components bought separately - which I think is acceptable for the good design, well laid out (i.e. easy to upgrade) internal parts as well as for just avoiding the risk of messing up something in a totally custom build.So I got a device and upgraded it to something that seems comparable to most of the rumors of next generation consoles. I thought it'd be interesting to share these findings with GAF, as this gives us a good benchmark on what to expect from a next generation console. System spec (customized graphics card)
Five hundred ninety nine US dollarsThe cost of jumping to next generation early:£799 for the Alienware X51 i5£193 for Sapphire 7870TOTAL £992 I could probably sell the extra GTX 555 to bring that down a bit.Sapphire HD 7870While the stock Alienware X51 comes with a GTX 555 (right), I decided that I would upgrade to a beefier HD 7870 (left). HD 7870 is a new, incredibly power efficient and cool running card from AMD based on the new GCN architecture.At the time very little was known of whether it would fit in at all, not to speak of heat and power consumption. So I have been doing a ton of research and benchmarking (Prime95 and Furmark) and can confirm the following.
I bought the non-OC version of the card, but for some reason it was clocked at the OC speed, 1GhzScreenshotsI took some screenshots of what gaming at 1080P looks like on this box. I like to play with V-Sync enabled to avoid tearing, so you can see the frame rates accordingly. Generally I found I can play the most taxing games at top settings (but with no AA) at a solid 45-60FPS.Battlefield 3 - 1080P, all settings Ultra, no AACrysis - 1080P, all settings maxed outStarcraft 2 - 1080P, all settings maxed outBatman: Arkham City - 1080P, all settings maxed outDiablo 3 - 1080P, all settings maxed outWii HD - 1080P, 2 x Internal Resolution, 4xAA, 4xAF, locked at 30FPSThe Alienware X51 doubles up really nicely as a Wii HD for me. The Dolphin emulator runs flawlessly, and the Wiimote is easy to hook up using the bluetooth dongle.Power consumptionI have been measuring the power consumption of this box for a while, running benchmarks after benchmarks and noticed it peaks at 203W during Prime95 + Furmark being torture tested for 15 minutes, which leaves a lot of headroom in the 330W power adapter.Prolonged gaming sessions with Battlefield 3 consumee 180W As a comparison, launch PS3 consumed 189W and launch Xbox 360 consumed 172W during gameplay.HeatWith the HD 7870, in an ambient temperature of around 24C, the CPU and GPU temps maxed at around 85C in torture test (Prime95 + Furmark). During regular gameplay the temp for the CPU and GPU was between 65-73C. Idle temp for the CPU was 55C and GPU 35C.NoiseI would say the Alienware X51 is roughly on par or a little quieter than the launch Xbox 360. There is one important thing to note, though. Alienware has set Fan 2 too high in the X02 BIOS. By default it caps at 6000RPM, although it's specced at 4500RPM. It gets really noisy at speed above spec. I found that the system is quiet if Fan 2 is capped at 75% using Speedfan, and this has minimal effect on temperatures.With the new Fan 2 profile the system is really pleasantly quiet. I have still a little trouble understanding how Speedfan works and how to get it stick, though.AccessoriesThere is a bunch of essential accessories a gamer should get for the Alienware X51.
Beta boxClearly the X51 is still a beta product and the consumer is the beta tester. My first box didn't boot, the motherboard was busted. Dell has great service though, an engineer was with me the next day. Also, there is currently an issue of the CPU fan making a very high pitch noise - Dell has promised a replacement fan to everyone. These are the annoyances of completely new hardware. However, even a complete PC newbie like myself managed to survive with the help of Google, YouTube and Dell forums.ConclusionsAlienware X51 got pretty good reviews from CNET, Anandtech and other websites. After my first few weeks, I would mostly agree with them. I have found the Alienware X51 an absolutely spectacular gaming machine. It has decent looks, runs silent enough, and best of all - it has crazy good performance when coming from the consoles. The upgradeability seems sufficient for the time being, and is super easy.Comfy couch gaming is indeed comfortable, with a lightweight Apple bluetooth keyboard and the Logitech G700 mouse that I tend to use against my jeans. Or, with the Xbox 360 controller for some games. I do miss, however, a proper 10 feet UI. It would be amazing to have something that would combine Steam and Plex into one big screen experience.Given that this is my first PC, I found the tweaking and testing part incredibly fun and addictive. I even replaced the CPU thermal paste. The X51 is an easy introduction to tinkering with PCs, I think that should a nice case be available when I need to do a new PC, I'm now more confident of building one myself.Which brings me to case design. The X51 case should be a real opportunity for case manufacturers - designing a console style box this well will certainly find a target audience.Using Alienware X51 as a yard stick for next generation consoles is pretty interesting. The system is entirely unoptimized, yet manages to pack 2.5TFLOPs into a console size box that is well within the power budget of the launch PS3. Given the huge amount of cost optimizations, efficiencies of a light OS and economies of scale, I now believe that 1080P games matching BF3 Ultra at 60FPS are a realistic possibility as a minimum ballpark of graphics we'll see at next generation console launch.Finally, the alien eyes on the console turn red when in danger zone in Battlefield 3, which is pretty cool.EDIT - small correction, I just realized I had my video card model wrong, it's actually a Sapphire 7870 I have been running in my X51. My original post stated 7850, but it is in fact the beefier one that I've used and pictured below. Apologies for the confusion. Good news is that the more powerfu card works fine. >>> By Chitagong
Good news guys, just uninstalled the optical drive completely as there NO WAY of fitting the 1tb HDD with it still in installed (unless you have an ssd). There is no way as a previous user mentioned of locking the HDD in with a bracket or screw. I rested the HDD in the very top right of the case, the right side of the HDD is resting on the "lip" of the case were the cd's come through and the left side sits on a cluster of power cables (very thick and okay to rest the drive on).
Now the only problem i had was routing the sata cables away so i can fit the gpu in. I had to route the sata cables underneath the gpu (along with the gpu power cables). When it stays above the gpu case, the case wont close.
Even as is it was a very tight fit and the sata cables are bending 90 degrees as the push against the gpu case. Not a major issue but i will purchase a cheap 90 degree sata cable to fix this problem just in case. The HDD sits in place so tight that it doesnt even move when i shake the x51 so no cable ties or anything else required.
Results: reference 7850 overclocked core to 950Mhz
Max temp before mod in BF3: 82c
Max temp after HDD relocation: 73c
Very happy with the results, i mean its basically 10c lower at load and my idle temps dropped from 38-39 down to 25-30! At stock clockes the temps would probably drop below 70c but im not going to bother :) In fact i might OC more now.
I really never use the cd drive so this was an awesome mod, thanks to beasty for posting it here :)
Remarks:You may one to try to set Speedfan and see if that helps
By using Speedfan and allowing Speedfan to automatically adjust your fan settings for optimal performance

A lot of folks have upgraded the X51 with an SSD by removing the existing 3.5" HD, replacing the 3.5" carriage with a dual 2.5" carriage adapter, and installing the SSD in the 2.5" carriage.
As far as I'm concerned this is a waste of perfectly good 1TB 3.5" HD and it is pretty easy to avoid. I've left the 3.5" HD in place and physically placed the 2.5" SSD on-top of the slot area of the DVD drive cage. This area is just big enough to hold the 2.5" SSD and it is held in place once the side-panel is re-installed. See my attached photo which shows were the SSD has been placed. The plastic case of the SSD will not short with the case, but if you're paranoid you can simply enclose it in paper or plastic.
I've installed the OS and programs on the Crucial M4 256MB 2.5" SSD and the 1TB 3.5" HD is being used for data storage.
I followed these steps for the installation:
1. The X51 provides a third unused SATA slot which can be used to connect to the SSD. However, the X51 does not come with an extra SATA power connector so this had to be installed separately. As per a web-site (can't remember the URL) I tapped into the existing mobo molex connector (under the DVD drive) to get the SATA power. In the original configuration the female mobo molex connector supplies power to the 3.5" HD and the DVD drive. You'll need a Y-connector cable (P/N StarTech PYO1LP4SATA on Amazon) which has a male molex on one end, and a female molex and SATA power connector on the other end.
Detach the original 3.5" HD/DVD drive power cable from the mobo female molex connector, connect the male molex connector of the new cable into the mobo molex connector, and finally connect the original 3.5" HD/DVD drive power male molex connector into the female molex connector of the new cable. You'll be left with a SATA power connector that can be used for the SSD.
2. Detach the data SATA connector of the 3.5" HD from the mobo to disable it during installation of the SSD.
3. Use a new SATA data-cable and connect SSD to the extra SATA port on the mobo. Also, connect the SATA power cable to the SSD.
4. Place supplied Alienware Windows CD into DVD drive and ensure SATA mode is set to UEFI in BIOS and boot order is set to UEFI DVD - this can be chosen by pressing F2 during boot-up. Using UEFI mode ensures the Windows will automatically make a 100 MB EFI partition in the SSD along with the OS partition. This will also apparently format the drive with GUID (GPT) partition table which apparently is the "wave of the future" as opposed to MBR partition for SATA legacy mode. There is a lot of debate regarding GPT (new) vs MBR (old and best compatibility) and I believe the 3.5" HD is configure as GPT. I know the original HD has a 300 MB EFI partition along with DELLUTILITY and RECOVERY partition, but you will not get these and copying over these partitions is beyond the scope of this installation.
I also tried installing the OS using the SATA legacy mode (non UEFI) and that also worked fine. In that case Windows did not create a EFI partition.
5. Windows will install and you're fee to install your favourite games. Later you can reconnect the data SATA connector of the 3.5" HD to the mobo so that you can access that drive as well.
Have fun

Here below the max power draw for comparability i72600 vs i7-377
BTW the X51CPU can't be OC even with Turbo the i72600 will only oc to 3,5ghtz must provably the same will ocurre to the i7-377
So here u can see that the new Ivy Bridge CPU consumes 19W less in Idle than the i7-2600 & on full load we have 14 w diference
Here below the Vbios Sapphire HD 7850 card take the first one and reflashe!!
Any of these BIOSes will work on any reference design HD 7850 card. You could use the ASUS BIOS which comes with higher clocks & Overdrive limits and enables voltage changes via SmartDoctor, or stick with one of the reference BIOSes in case you are afraid the clocks might be too high.I will describe the method for flashing from within Windows, which is safe enough on these cards because of the dual BIOS feature that enables easy recovery.
If you get an error like ID mismatch or Could not erase ROM, then you'll have to do some extra work in a Windows command prompt (or DOS): Run atiwinflash -unlockrom 0 followed by atiwinflash -f -p 0 bios.binwhere bios.bin is the path and filename of the HD 7850 BIOS you downloaded.

We list the ten best tips we know, from the easiest to the most challenging.
1. Give it some room
Your computer cools itself using air drawn from the surrounding area. Stick it in a corner or even one of those little cubby holes you find in computer desks and you'll end up with insufficient air-flow to keep your PC cool. Make sure there's a good couple of inches clearance around the outer case and check that all vents and fans are free of obstruction.
2. Have a spring clean
Give your machine a regular clean inside and out. Dirt, dust and hair (pet or human) can stop fans working and over-insulate components. Start externally, cleaning out vents and fans with a vacuum cleaner hose. Inside the case, carefully blow away excess detritus with canned air. Don't be tempted to blow on components through pursed lips, you'll just glue the dust in place with spittle.
3. Check air flow
Most PC builders know to fit one or more case fans to their systems, but not everyone knows which way round to put them. It's best to have one positioned at the side, preferably over the CPU, sucking air into the case.
The second can be on the opposite side or the back of the case, venting hot air out. This arrangement should create a constant stream of air flowing over your components to make your PC run cooler.
4. Install SpeedFan
You may know your computer or laptop's running hot. But which components are the culprits? Most often it's the CPU, but what if there's a faulty case fan or hot video card in the mix? Free software SpeedFan will help you identify the hot spots in your machine. As a bonus, it can also control the working speed of your fans, automatically.
5. Add extra fans
Adding extra case fans can improve heat dissipation, but add them sympathetically and don't disrupt the overall airflow. For example a second fan placed next to a inlet fan on the side of your case is ideal, as long as it's pulling air in, too.
6. Cool your cards
Modern video cards can rival your CPU for heat output. Some have built in fans, but some rely on passive methods of cooling - like a simple heatsink. Either way, you can help by installing a cheap and cheerful PCI slot exhaust fan, designed to draw heat from card components. Make sure it doesn't upset the overall air-flow though.
KEEP COOL:StarTech's Case Exhaust Video Cooler fits into a PCI or ISA slot next to your video card, extracting heat from the GPU

Nice information Solrac. Thank you. I was told by an Alienware technical support guy that the gtx 555 can be overclocked. He was afraid to admit it but he said it was possible. Like you say, I wonder has anyone tried to overclock the gtx 555? It is a very good question Solrac
Hello Irishlad147
As i say before I am waiting few more days to get my X51, so it is impossible for me to do so as i dont have it with me.
I recomend you to dawnload Harware Monitor to check your temps while doing test also EVGA Precision X is new and very nice !
You may not need Hardware Monitor as this new release of Evga PrecisionX seems to have integrated monitors (i use the old version)
Ones you have it runing just raise your cloks and see how it goes
Dont expect to get 40 percent more, but if your card is good you can go very high >>> all cards are diferent , some handel that very well and some dont
If you have the lucky one you may go high, ones you know what are best cloks for you, then you can use those settings while in game play and you will have a faster and smother game play

hi i have a question,
I heard all Geforce 600 series is using PCI-E 3.0 is it true? And does our x51 mother board support it? I am waiting for geforce gtx 660 to come out as i heard it has the same performance as gtx 580 but using the wattage of gtx 560 which is 150w.
trying to shove a 7950 in the x51 is asking for trouble down the line if you ask me. I have a HD 7850 oc in mine. just because a larger card may fit doesn't mean its necessarily wise to do so. large house need room to breathe even if they are marketed as running cooler. I doubt the 7950 was tested inside a sff PC like the x51 under load for hours and hours. just be careful, and remember installing large cards like the 7950. may not be so wise.
Hello digitalbrass
You say you have Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC, can you tell me how it works? You are the first person that i know with this card on the X51
Are you satisfy with your Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC? Have you encounter problems in full load while in gaming?
I am very interested in this card if it works with the X51 thanks for your help!
I will be making a YouTube video about the 7850 oc inside the x51 tonight. sub to me on YouTube@ preemz1014 , ill write down some numbers Vs the gtx 555 as well as noise difference.
Im very thankful of your answare and cant wait for you to make the first review on the x51 with the 7850 oc cross fingers this is the ONE!!!!!!!!

Bullying: It's Not Just a Playground Issue Anymore
Remember when you were a kid in school and you did your best to stay away from the Whiners; the Slackers -- and worst of all -- the Bullies? As adults, bullying in the workplace is no laughing matter. In fact, a disturbing report about a recent killing spree at a beer distributing company in Connecticut may have been rooted in workplace bullying.
Research conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute has demonstrated that 37% of the U.S. workforce – or 54 million employees – are being bullied or have been bullied at some point during their career. People who are bullied in the workplace report lower overall well-being, less job satisfaction and less satisfaction with their bosses; and are more likely to quit their jobs.
IMPACT's Workplace Services Division, Symmetry is an expert at intervening in on-the-job conflicts, including bullying; and offers these 4 tips if you or someone you know is the target of the on-the-job bully:
- Find out whether your company has an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) and contact them. EAP services are confidential and often offered as a part of employees' benefits package.
- Keep records. Document the date(s) of occurrence, the actions of the individual and how you responded to them.
- Lodge a formal complaint with your Human Resources department or hiring manager.
- Read up! A good place to start to find other information and resources about workplace bullying is the Workplace Bullying Institute at www.workplacebullying.org.
Symmetry is the workplaces services division of IMPACT that helps organizations target workplace issues to enhance performance, increase productivity and create a culture that fosters a healthier workforce. Experts provide responsive, solution-focused consultation and training to improve efficiency, facilitate effective group dynamics, and build capacity to manage change.

Have to return
"This shoe was delivered to my home but I'm returning it today because it's damaged. The suede has defects in it on both shoes on the outer toe area. Not sure if it's glue or some sort of cut in suede. Shame because I wanted to wear these shoes this week; taupe shoes are hard to find. Frequently shoes labeled taupe are actually camel!"

This week I would like to talk about colon cancer. As a survivor, paying attention to regular cancer screening is very important. Remember that developing a second cancer is possible. People at higher risk for developing colon cancer may have a history of inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
The two most common inherited syndromes linked with colorectal cancers are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome. FAP is caused by changes (mutations) in the APC gene that you inherit from your parents.
Women with HNPCC have a very high risk of developing cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrium). Other cancers linked with HNPCC include cancer of the ovary, stomach, small bowel, pancreas, kidney, brain, ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder) and bile duct.
It's important to know that colon cancer can be prevented with screening and removal of any growths (or polyps) before they develop into cancer. Normally, screening should start at age 50. However, if you have a higher risk or a family history, you may need to be screened at a younger age.
Some of the ways that you can be screened for colon cancer include stool tests to check for blood (fecal occult blood test), sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, double-contrast barium enema and virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography).
Recently new methods of screening, including stool DNA (sDNA) testing, have been discussed in the news. The sDNA test identifies abnormal changes (markers) in the cells that are shed from the lining of the colon and can lead to early detection of polyps and colon cancer. This noninvasive test is still pending approval by the Food and Drug Administration. However, research shows that the test accurately detects colon cancer at early stages and precancerous polyps. Look for updates on the new sDNA test on MayoClinic.com.
Work with your health care provider to find out what your personal risk is and how often you should be screened. What has been your experience?

Is there an age that makes the colonoscopy procedure dangerous?
I was screened about 4 years ago...no polyps (? sp). For the last couple months I have had diahrrea and/or pencil size excretions. I've consulted with my internal medicine specialist who insists I'm adequately monitored at a 5 year interval inspite of the fact I lost my mom to Colon/Liver cancer. I am a 71 year old male who had his gall bladder removed about 5 years ago. Frankly, I'm nervous.
I had a colon resection for a precancerous polyp 5 months ago. My Dr. wants to do a follow up colonoscopy next month although I am not having any problems or symptoms. I am 66 years old, on Medicare. They paid for the original colonoscopy, biopsy and surgery. My questions are: do I need another colonoscopy so soon and will Medicare pay for it? They say they only cover one every 24 months.
I am a 39 yr old female who has been experiencing pain in my rectal area for going on four years now. I have always had irregular bowel movemnts and had trouble with constipation. I was told early on to take stool softeners regularly, eat lots of fiber, exercise, and drink plenty of H20. Having done these things, my condition has worsened. At 35, I began having severe pain in rectal and lower abdominal area that would become excruciating during my period. I would have even greater pain as I passed gas or during a BM. I could not stand, walk, or find a comfortable angle at which to tilt my upper body when I would sit so lying down was best position. 2008, I had colonoscopy and laparoscopy and only revealed internal hemorrhoids and minimal endometriosis. GI doc diagn. me with IBS & prescribed Amitiza with daily doses of Milk of Mag, Raisin Bran cereal, high fiber diet with 1 year follow-up. At that point, I could not pinpoint the area of the pain. Since then, the pain has a specific region, in my rectum! My bowels have changed shapes over the years, and I have shared this with local drs here. It flattened, almost ribbon-shaped. I experience pain now all month long with the worst level still during menstruation. During BMs, I have pains "shoot" up the left side of my back and down my left leg. I am so frustrated with my treatment, or lack of. My paternal grndmother passed from colon cancer and parents are concerned. GI doc says no more colonoscopy til 50, so w
Lyn - Get a colonoscopy! I do not trust CT scan results after my 33 yr old daughter's experience last year. She had two CT scans, and along with her symptoms (nausea, vomiting, elevated WBC, pain on the left side), the diagnosis was probable ulcerative colitis with current infection in the colon. A month later a colonoscopy was done to confirm the diagnosis. What she had was Stage III-C colon cancer. Can I say this any more strongly: GET A COLONOSCOPY!
Lyn, screening for colon cancer may be recommended sooner - depending on your age and other related family history. For example, if you have other family members who had colon cancer at a young age. A special kind of CT scan (CT- colonography) can be used to look at the colon. Talk with your oncologist about your screening plan. You may need to have special considerations made -because of your history of surgery and radiation.
This post is for Kyle and others who may be interested in genetic counseling. It is great to hear that you are connected with a physician who recommended yearly screening because of your high risk associated with Lynch Syndrome. Genetic counseling will help you deal with any other questions you have related to your risks. For those who may be looking for resources, check out the National Society of Genetic Counselors (www.nsgc.org) for testing and counseling in your local area.
Please get a colonoscopy before age 50 if you have family history of colon cancer. I had one at age 35 because my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer that year. I had a pre- cancerous polyp removed then. I continued to have the test every 3 three years with no polyps found.N Then I got lax on getting them. I went 7 years before having another test. My family doctor sent me to have the test because I was anemic. I ended up having a colon resection with two pre- cancerous polyps and a cancerous polyp removed. Be Pro- active about your health. The test is not bad!
My brother who is 29 recently had a tumor and half of his colon removed. He was tested for lynch syndrome and it came back positive. I am 31 and also was tested for lynch syndrome recently and the test also came back positive. I recently had a colonoscopy and all was clear. They recommended my brother and I to have yearly colonoscopy's so that is what we will do. I am thinking about meeting with a geneticist in the near future. Do you think this will be beneficial? FYI- Our father passed away from brain cancer (glioblastoma) at age 47.
Sheryl, had surgery for endometrial CA last year along with brachytherapy and chemo. Have need going back for every 3 month visits where a CT scan is performed. Haven't had colonoscopy..just wondering if these CT scans would find any other abdominal CA?
My Dad was diagnosed with colo-rectal CA @ age 83 so oncologists say the Lynch syndrome would not be something that I would need to be tested for. Advice re: colonoscopy for me
would be appreciated. thanks so much
I was screened by colonoscopy at age 52. Two or three polyps were found and removed. Two were found to be atypical. I had several other tests at the same time and was diagnosed with IBS and lactose intolerance. Had fecal occult tests yearly with negative results (no blood in stool) until age 58.Then had another colonoscopy. A malignant tumor was found and further tests revealed metastic disease in my liver. It was determined to be nonoperable and I recieved 10 rounds of chemo. After 8 rounds I had NED.
Now at 61 I'm on Avastin maintenance and still NED. The new testing method sounds promising! Perhaps it will prevent stories like mine. My biggest mistake was waiting 6 years to be rescreened.It was a matter of dreading the procedure even though I had experienced it before. The clean out the day before was my bane, not the actual colonoscopy procedure. Nothing is gained by hind sight, but perhaps my story will inspire others to get those screenings. There are a lot worse things. And, by the way, I had no real symptoms that couldn't be explained away as normal occasional bowel problems,IBS or lactose sensitivity.
Wendy - I belong to a forum for colon cancer patients and caregivers and I think there's someone active there with this situation. You could post a question out there and see if anyone responds. Just google the colon club or go to http://coloncancersupport.colonclub.com/viewforum.php?f=1.
Good luck, I hope you find the answers you're looking for.
I was wondering if anyone out there who is positve for the Lynch (HNPCC)gene has had a total cholectomy and a gastric bypass procedure? I would like to discuss how they are feeling and if they have notice any physical changes. I have not been sucessful at this point of finding someone who has had both of these procedures done. The gastric bypass surgery was actually done before realizing the risk it would have with the Lynch syndrome. Also who would have thought 5yrs after the surgery you would have colon cancer and end up with your entire large colon removed. I'd love to hear from you if you would like to share. Without very agressive cancer screening and colonoscopies I may very well not be here today. NIH had recommended that I have colon screenings every 2yrs although, I had pushed my MD to re-scope me at 1yr which thank God I did. I was positive for colon cancer. Luckly I caught it very early. Screening and DNA testing has made a huge difference in my life and it has been a gift to my family as well. Let's put a stop to this horrific disease and pre-screen.

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas if it pertains to pet-friendly hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. The Jet Set Pets can't wait to gossip about its recent visit to Sin City to check out the new pet-friendly offerings at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, one of the Strip's few hotels that caters to our four-legged friends.
A special welcome letter, tasty treat, doggy relief bags and an elegantly appointed 22nd floor suite outfitted with eco-friendly food and water bowls awaited Lucy on her first trip to Las Vegas, which hasn't been the most pet-friendly destination but is changing thanks to Caesars Palace, Trump International Las Vegas and the Four Seasons.
But back to THEhotel. There's also a scrumptious, new in-room dining menu, an outdoors grassy relief area called "Barking Lot Lane" and dog-walking services, which means you don't have to get up at 8 a.m. to take Fifi to Barking Lot Lane after dragging yourself back to your room from the casino floor or nightclub at 6 a.m. Both cost extra but are worth it.
Concierge Michelle Love took Lucy for a walk and returned her to the room in time for Marc to deliver the Canine Chop dish (4 oz. seared beef tenderloin with blanched carrots and white rice) to Lucy, who appreciated Marc offering to cut the meat to accommodate her tiny mouth. There are six dishes on the room service menu, ranging from $9 to $17.
And that's not all! The hotel also offers pet-sitting services. The property requires dogs to be properly boarded in a kennel when left alone and even rents various sized kennels through the concierge — for an additional fee.
"Our research showed that there was a shortage of options in the Las Vegas market that allowed guests to travel with their pets, while also enjoying a luxury hotel experience," said Didya Bowser, executive director of hotel operations at THEhotel. "We feel that THEhotel at Mandalay Bay creates the perfect opportunity for guests to travel with their pampered pups not only because of our convenient access and spacious suites, but also because of our non-gaming, non-smoking environment."
THEhotel allows guests to travel with up to two dogs – together weighing no more than 100 pounds – for a daily fee of $50 per canine. With a separate valet, elevators steps away from the resort's entrance and a designated walking area, THEhotel is well equipped to cater to the most discerning dogs.
For more information about THEhotel's dog-friendly suites or to make a reservation, call (877) 632-7000 or visit www.mandalaybay.com/thehotel/

It was the beginning of October, and remixes for Crazy P's 'Changes' began to surface. Amongst the plethora of good renditions that I heard, one stood out more than any other, and it was from a Bristol artist that I had never come across before — Lukas. As I usually do when I find good new music from an unfamiliar moniker, I check back catalogs, social media sites, etc., and after going about this with Lukas I wanted to know more. So I reached out across the Atlantic to see what this producer was up to, and it turned out to be a lot more than I thought!
Click on after the jump to download a mix with numerous unreleased jams made exclusively for GDD™ and check out my interview with the multifaceted producer where we chat about his infamous party Alfresco Disco, the rising Bristol scene, and more. Continue Reading

"You have redefined my concept of aging with Seanol Longevity Plus!"
- Clinically studied Ecklonia cava helps increase healthy HDL cholesterol levels
- Helps promote healthy LDL and total cholesterol levels
- May support healthy circulation
- Provides support for healthy bones and joints
- Provides antioxidant protection for your entire body
- Helps alleviate age-related aches and pains
- Developed by integrative cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra
The healthy aging supplement I'm about to introduce you to helps provide antioxidant protection to help fight free radical damage and premature aging so that you feel healthy and vibrant every single day.
My research team has formulated a unique healthy aging supplement with ingredients from the sea, the earth, and the sun. And the result is Seanol® Longevity Plus, a three-tiered healthy supplement so powerful, not only do I recommend it to every one of my patients—I take it every day.
1. Ancient secret from the sea provides potent antioxidant support
One of nature's most powerful healthy aging antioxidants was discovered off the coast of Korea over 2,000 years ago. And thanks to a $39 million research project, research suggests that this brown seaweed extract may provide optimal antioxidant protection to help fight the effects of aging. I believe this extract may just provide optimal support against premature aging.
Based on laboratory tests, the potential antioxidant activity of this seaweed extract may be as much as 100 times that of green tea. I believe that the higher the antioxidant value, the greater the protection against oxidative stress, which is related to premature aging.
2. Fight Premature Aging with Resveratrol
Resveratrol, a potent antioxidant, found in the skin of red grapes, helps support a healthy cardiovascular system and provides greater antioxidant support to fight the effects of premature aging.
And the resveratrol you'll get in each daily serving of Seanol Longevity Plus has a clinical study that suggests it provides support not only for healthy aging, but also for cardiovascular health - in particular, support for healthy blood pressure levels.
3. The Importance of the "sun" vitamin
These days we are warned to limit our time in the sun out of fear for its effects - but the sun helps produce an important hormone which we know as Vitamin D3. Beyond bone health, vitamin D plays an important role supporting overall health including bone, heart, mood and immune health. It also helps fight oxidative stress which is important in promoting proper inflammatory response.
That's why I made absolutely certain that we used vitamin D3 in Seanol Longevity Plus. Vitamin D3 is my preferred form for this vital nutrient, and it is important that you look for a supplement that provides this form.
So why wait? Put Seanol Longevity Plus to work today—to promote health aging by fighting back against free radial damage.
If you aren't thrilled with the results, simply call us within 90 days for a prompt and courteous refund.

Next Generation Sports Tape KT-Tape is a revolutionary sports medicine solution for treating and preventing common sports injuries such as ITBS, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, knee pain and more. Ultra-light, elastic, and strong, KT Tape is highly effective at providing pain relief, stability & support, & faster recovery for injured or sore muscles and joints-without sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement. KT Tape is simple to use and easy to apply. Most common injury applications require only two strips of tape, and each box of tape comes with step-by-step instructions. Injury-specific video instructions (1-2 minutes long) for common applications are also available on the KT Tape website. It's designed for Professional athletes, Olympians, and active people world-wide who take health & fitness seriously and who refuse to stop training, playing, or living life active and free. The design is minimalist, the results are magic. Technical Features For years, trends in technical performance gear have generated lighter, faster, and stronger products that free athletes from heavy or bulky gear, providing them with greater range of motion and superior performance. This innovation trend now extends to athletic tape. KT Tape looks simple to the untrained eye, but its tensile strength and durability are the result of considerable engineering and precision in the design and manufacturing of kinesiology tape. KT Tape is Perfect For Common Sports Injuries: Neck Elbow Upper + Lower Back Ankle Knee Lower Leg Foot Upper Leg Wrist Shoulder KT Tape Key Features: UltraLight MicroFibers KT Tape is made up of reinforced 100% cotton sheathes designed to provide durability and increased strength. These cotton sheathes are embedded into weft yarn to provide uni-directional elasticity- allowing the tape to stretch in length but preventing the tape from stretching in width. These fibers ensure KT Tape will provide stable support without restricting motion. Matrix WeaveMatrix The Matrix is a mechanical mesh weave designed to provide precisely 140% bilinear elasticity along the length of the tape, and no elasticity in the tape's width. 140% elasticity is critical because it is the same elasticity as human skin. By matching the exact elasticity in skin, and stretching lengthwise, KT Tape flexes and moves comfortably with the body's tissue, releasing and recoiling like a rubber-band. KT Tape's unique Matrix Mesh also allows for moisture release which is critical for comfort and wear-ability. The more porous the tape's weave, the better it releases moisture caused by sweating or being worn in the water. The design provides more breathability and release of moisture so that it is comfortable to wear for up to five days at a time without itching, irritation or reactions with the skin. Second-skin Adhesion Go ahead- beat it up, swim with it, wear it on your feet during sand volleyball, or your 100 mile mud run. When it comes to medical adhesive, stronger is not always better. The key to medical adhesive is stick and release: the adhesive must stay on, no matter how punishing the environment, but release when it's peeled off without causing pain and bleeding. The KT Tape product design team spent hundreds of hours in R & D developing the perfectly balanced adhesive- SecondSkin. weaveSecondSkin outperforms lesser quality adhesives in initial tackiness, shear, tensile, and peel strength. It is a latex-free adhesive that is applied in a specialized wave pattern on the back of the tape creating a gentle heat- activated bond to the skin. The result is superior performance. KT Tape stays on longer, provides greater comfort when worn for 3-5 days, and greater support- especially in the shower or pool. And because SecondSkin is so thermally stable, it will work as well in the winter as it does the summer- so go ahead and clear the ice- because now you're ready for the Polar Plunge. How Does it Work? KT Tape is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons (soft tissue) to provide a lightweight, strong, external support that helps to prevent injury and speed recovery. KT Tape works differently for different injuries. KT Tape can lift and support the knee cap, holding it in place for Runner's Knee. KT Tape can support sagging muscles along the arch of the foot, relieving the connective tissues for Plantar's Fasciitis. And KT Tape can lift the stress off of shin splints to allow pain release and give the body a better opportunity to recover. Depending on how it is applied, KT Tape supports, enables, or restricts soft tissue and its movement. By stretching and recoiling like a rubber band, KT Tape augments tissue function and distributes loads away from inflamed or damaged muscles and tendons, thereby protecting tissues from further injury. By applying KT Tape over affected tissue, athletes experience an external support which helps to prevent further injury and allows the body's damaged tissue to rest and heal naturally despite continued activity. KT Tape also reduces inflammation and increases circulation which prevents muscle cramping and lactic acid buildup. Kinesiology tape, treatments, and application techniques have been used by healthcare professionals such as orthopedics, chiropractors, physical therapists, and athletic trainers for over thirty years. KT Tape is the first brand of kinesiology tape ever to be offered to consumers through local sporting goods retailers, and to be widely adopted by healthcare professionals and teams. The development of KT Tape was a highly collaborative effort that included Healthcare Professionals, our Medical Advisory Board, elite and everyday athletes, and our product design engineers. Together they developed the most advanced sports tape ever offered. Not only is KT Tape the best tape out there, but it's also the least expensive. Thanks to patented manufacturing processes, KT Tape is available for much less than any other brand. We are highly committed to continued innovation so watch for new colors, features, applications, and products in the near future. Kinesiology what? KT TAPE is an abbreviation for Kinesiology Therapeutic Tape. It is a strong, elastic athletic tape that reduces muscle pain, increases mobility, and enhances athletic performance. KT TAPE is pre-cut so that it is fast and easy to apply. Just tear off a strip and apply it to the injured area. KT TAPE provides relief and support for muscles and joints and can be used to prevent or treat hundreds of sports injuries.

Now she uses KT Tape to continue to stabilize her shoulder after coming back into tournament play following the birth of her first child. It has become an essential part of her game-time equipment. USA Water Polo Accomplishments Both the Women's and Men's Teams won Silver in the 2008 Beijing Olympics Women's Team ranked #1 in the world (Aug '09) Men's Team ranked #4 in the world (Aug '09) How do they use KT Tape? The USA Water Polo Teams rely on KT Tape to enhance their performance before, during, and after matches. Because KT Tape is waterproof and has a stronger adhesive than other brands, USAWP Teams can trust KT Tape to stay in place even during the toughest competitions. Water polo players use KT Tape particularly often in the shoulder area. Mike Bridges Strongest Man in the World Trains with KT Tape 14 time World IPF Champion ASAPL National Champion IPF World Record Holder 2009 Pan Am Games Champion of Champions How Mike Uses the Tape: Mike finds that KT Tape not only relieves pain, but allows him to train at a higher level than ever before! With the help of KT Tape on his lower back and arms, he has smashed through more world records.
