Coffeelake thread, benchmarks, reviews, input, everything.

Any leaks on what the turbo rates for 8700 non-k are? There's no way the TDP is honest if they didn't neuter those hard compared to 8700k, but I'm hoping for near performance parity at stock, not power savings.

Who's buying a 6 core Coffee Lake CPU? (Poll Inside)

If my 2500K system blows out I'd still be looking for a quad core. It is frustrating that they don't offer smaller core count processors with high stock/turbo frequencies.

Random BSOD's that are getting worse.

It's going to be the CPU. I ruined a semester at college trying to figure out random BSODs on the rig I built over winter break. Nobody in the dorms was willing to let me borrow their CPU for testing. After replacing everything else and reinstalling Windows, different BIOSes, and different...

Smartphone for Mom

I don't know, because I couldn't get it working due to the SIM. http://smartphones.wonderhowto.com/how-to/cut-your-sim-card-down-mini-micro-nano-size-0149154/ That site describes it as "SIM Card - Not used any more; about the size of a credit card." That is opposed to "Mini-SIM Card - The most...

Smartphone for Mom

So, I went to good ol' Malwart yesterday, and got a 'new' phone for Mom. Besides taking a while, it came in the usual condition from there. There were no other ones available there, but in hindsight, I should have just gone to Target and got it price matched. I cut box down some so...

Smartphone for Mom

I am very frequently available. I find it funny how some people think they know my mother better than I do after living with her for more than 25 years. I will be moving soon, but our businesses share the same campus.

Smartphone for Mom

So, I have been doing more research, and it appears that we may have a crappy family plan contract still. I have been using my work phone for a year and gave her that Razr V3 as an upgrade a while ago. They are still paying $153.57/month for 5 lines, 4 of which seem to have 500MB and one with...

Smartphone for Mom

She has only ever owned used phones, but the real issue is that she wouldn't want me to spend a lot of money on one (cost of data should be included). There is no budget limit for me, but if she knows I am going to end up spending more than $200 for this, she will be unhappy. She is a bit...

Smartphone for Mom

I would like to get my mother a smartphone for Mother's Day but don't know much about them. She has a really old v3 razr on T-mobile that is severely lacking. The phone should work with T-mobile, and I am wondering if it makes any sense to get a used phone with no mobile data. She is around...

Which Cherry MX Switch Feels Most Like A Traditional Dome/Membrane Keyboard?

I have a BlackWidow brown at work and have tried it side by side with BlackWidow blues, and they felt the same to me. I also use a K70 with reds at home and it is not difficult to adjust to. I feel like the reds are the best for gaming (double taps supreme), and browns best for typing unless...

BF3: Confessions of a hacker...

I haven't bought a FPS game since the latter of the original CoD and Battlefield 1942 (except Crysis). Whether cheaters or having poor or no matchmaking, player imbalance in MP matches made me despise MP FPS. Starseige Tribes was the only MP FPS I really enjoyed for a reasonable period of...

Recurring computer freeze + crash. Need help.

It should not, but I suppose it is possible if the system checks the SSD first and it causes the check to fail and skip any other devices.

Newegg: XFX 6950 2GB $191 AP AR

I'd say the choice lies in your experience/preference with MIRs. In which case I would have chosen the 6950 w/ rebate over the 480 until my experiences over the past year :( Screw MIRs. 480 still has slight performance advantage while the 6950 has power/noise advantage. The usual features to...
