Asus recently announced a mini version of their GTX 960 for small form factor builds. I’m not surprised to hear Asus releasing a mini version of their GTX 960. The company previously released a mini version of the GTX 970, and Gigabyte already made available their GTX 960 Mini-ITX. Just like the company’s GTX 970 Mini, the Asus GeForce GTX 960 Mini Overclocked (GTX960-MOC-2GD5) shares the same type of cooler and physical design. It sports 1024 CUDA and comes with factory overclock settings of 1190MHz base and 1253MHz boost. The speeds are a tad slower compared to the Asus STRIX GTX 960, but more or less it is still a GTX 960, less the benefit you get from a STRIX graphics card. Check out the rest of its features, specification, price and availability below.

One of my computers has been suffering from a slow or long shutdown time, around 4 to 5 minutes. That happened when I upgraded its operating system from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Well, at first it shuts down and restarts properly. But later it took forever for the system to shutdown fully. I recently installed a new Windows 8 64bit copy using Plextor’s M6 Pro SSD. Then as usual I upgraded the OS to the new Windows 8.1, since it is a free upgrade if you have the Windows 8 full version. After I have successfully upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed all the necessary drivers, I tried to shut it down. To my surprise, the freshly installed system is also suffering from long shutdown time. I knew it wasn’t a hardware problem and it has something to do with the OS already. I tried every solution I saw on the internet. I tried tweaking its registry, specifically the “ClearPageFileAtShutdown” – it didn’t work. Then I tried fixing the Bluetooth by updating to the latest possible drivers, since there were users saying that it was the problem. But it wasn’t and it didn’t work for me. Then I tried this and that and this… But none of them worked for me. Of course I won’t try to do a fresh install (again), since I already did that. Finally, I read something about “Hybrid Shutdown”, and it has been causing problems to some computers running in Windows 8, or freshly upgraded to Windows 8.1. By disabling that feature, I was able to finally solve my problem and fix the slow or long shutdown time of my computer. How? Check out the solution from the source here.

Bleach 351 manga chapter is up next. The next chapter is going to be an exciting chapter. We are expecting to see a battle between Isshin vs “the eerie shadow” that looks like Ichigo’s hollow form or Vasto Lorde form. It looks like a powerful and speedy Vasto Lorde, that most probably has the same power like Ichigo. Well I for one would be shock if it suddenly unleashed an attack similar to “Getsuga Tenshou”. Anyway, can Isshin defeat the Vasto Lorde? Find out in Bleach chapter 531.
