Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

On the bright side, I noticed that the i5-6500 uses 65 watts compared to 84 watts for the i5-4570. At least I know my i5-4570 will be good for a while. :)

25% CPU usage, Windows 10 update?

I just used ATF Cleaner, TDS Killer, Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes and Avira and haven't found any viruses or anything. I may have to go to techsupportforums. The only "new" things I've done is get a new Internet Service Provider (Bell modem) and installed Razer Deathadder mouse. But both did not...

25% CPU usage, Windows 10 update?

Well, I just used that tool and now I feel like a tool myself lol. I may have to re-install Win7. Why? I clicked on that program above to re-enable updates because I decided I wanted to install the latest updates out of curiosity. So, what happened? It seems my Windows Update is broken...

Does anyone know the date a new low-cost model by Samsung is coming out? All the info I'm finding relates to their flagship phones. I liked the video samples I saw on Youtube for the Samsung phones so...

Is competition making displays "cheaper"?

I just checked out some questions and answers on amazon.com to confirm what I suspected. The HP 22xw monitor I bought has a rigid stand. (For whatever reason, it says it's tiltable from -2 to +25 degrees.) Then I looked from the side and thought I had maybe a film on the screen I had to...

1440p: 25 or 27 inch screen?

I know this may sound a bit extreme as a test but here's what I did. As stated above, I already have a 25 inch HP 25xi and recently bought an HP 22xw 21.5 inch monitor. Before buying the HP 22xw, I cut out and measured the approximate screen size for the HP 22xw and HP 23xw. To do that, I...

This may be premature but does anyone know if any of the new Pascal series will feature a standard PCIe connector?

What happened to 16:10?

Doesn't that mean TV shows in 16:9 will appear with black bars?

Low end Maxwell 2 coming? 950/950ti

About 45% more powerful than a 750 Ti? I'm impressed enough, though waiting to see what's available. :)

Low end Maxwell 2 coming? 950/950ti

From the video link above, it says it can be detrimental to not have enough VRAM. Is there actual harm from having "too much"? I'll wait for GTX 950 (Ti) reviews because I have a hard time believing there can be "too much" VRAM.

Low end Maxwell 2 coming? 950/950ti

How could that make a difference? I mean, RAM is RAM right? EDIT: OK, I just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utv144XeHag on VRAM. At one point in the video, he says not enough VRAM can be detrimental. However, he did say a lot of VRAM requires the horsepower to use it...
