How to enjoy watching YouTube Videos

YouTube as Google's video sharing site is like a living encyclopedia for anybody all around the world, no matter what topic they want. Because of the updated, informative, and real-life videos, it is a great way of learning for some and time-worthy for those who just want to enjoy their break time. I personally watch YouTube every day for PC building tutorials and other technology-related guides every day. Because of many people love watching YouTube, it upgrades itself to a more enjoyable form of entertainment and education. If you know and apply those great features, you can enjoy your YouTube time more and more. 1. Large Player - You can actually choose this option in order to watch the video in larger screen size if you don't like to watch it at SMALL CREEN or even FULL SCREEN. Hence, some low-resolution videos will not be enjoyable at FULL SCREEN. You can activate this option by clicking the "Large Player" icon besides the FULL SCREEN button at the bott

How to lessen power consumption with your Phenom II x6

Six-core processors are powerful in multitasking, multimedia playback, and even gaming – but as you use more cores – they also eat us much power. My Phenom II x6 1075T has a maximum thermal design power (TDP) of 125 watts. This means if I am gaming or doing sorts of stuffs with my computer at the same time, I am expecting to empty my pocket for the month because of power consumption. I did even tried to overclock (which is very easy with AMD’s CPUs) my 1075T up to 3.8 GHz. I used the HW Monitor (temperature monitor) from CPUID and found out that at average use, power consumption goes as high as 138 watts. While I do not really care how much I pay for the bills during that time, I just keep on extending the capabilities of my computer. However, I am not in gaming now and I have bought another computer. My wife will now use this six-core rig and I think it is just an overkill to keep the settings up. By the way, she will just use this PC for browsing, Microsoft Office, YouTube and Faceb

Miller of Motherboards.org Youtube Channel Personal Computer Build

A YouTube channel powered by the Channel Pro Network features a personal computer from one of their hosts, Miller. He described it as his best workstation and gaming setup. The first thing that you will learn about the build is that the casing is custom painted. This gives us an idea of personalizing our computer. He named it the Rosewill Red Dawn. In his desk are the CM Storm mouse, keyboard, and mouse pad. The rig really looks like a red racing car with out-of-this-world internal parts. Let us check out the parts: For the Motherboard - He uses EVGA SR-X Classified. This kind of board could support dual XEON E5 CPUs and could utilize up to four graphics cards. This board is just a monster and with a total capacity of 96 GB of RAM, words are not enough to describe the power of this. For the Video Cards – He uses two EVGA GTX 680s in SLI mode. A single GTX 680 alone could make your gaming very amazing. However, this build utilizes two of it. Even the games that are n

Tips to Install Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Cooler

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Cooler has good reviews online but like some other liquid coolers, some users have problems with the installation too. Though the package says it is easy to install and requires no maintenance, real-life experience will always say something different. I believe it is the AMD and Intel socket compatibility that somewhat confuses users in installing this great cooler. To lessen the confusion, I have some tips for you on how to install it. First, you need to separate the parts for Intel and AMD. The manual labels and shows the parts that are only usable by either socket. The fact is that you do not need to use all of them, especially the screws. Use only the parts that are suitable for your processor. If you are using Intel, you should keep those AMD parts away. Second, you need to clear your motherboard from any cables that will come to the way of the cooler. If your casing has no back plate covering the back of the motherboard, you do not need to remove the

Why I like Blogger as the best free blogging platform

After people are getting bored with static pages, which are only updated one or twice a month, they easily jumped to the blogging bandwagon. Blogging is dynamic, updated, social, and became search engine favorites. As businesses and personal users started to create a blog, many blogging platforms sprouted up. Some are free and some are just so expensive that only corporate people could afford. Free blogs are of course the best choice. WordPress, Typepad, LiveJournal, and Blogger are the names on the top list. Tumblr, MySpace, Facebook, and Weebly also started their versions of blogging for their users. Until now, new blogging platforms are rising and the old names are still on the race with their upgrades. Of all this blogging platforms and for almost five years of blogging, I always choose the best for me, and it is Blogger. Why? 1. It is FREE as in NO HASSLES WordPress has a free version but they put ads on your free blog. Some free offers are also so tight that you cannot r
