That's some odd hardware.... why the Corsair VS350 350 Watt PSU? That's fine for CPU load, but don't plan to install a full GPU into that system ever at that low a wattage.
As for the motherboard, B85M is a business chipset. Don't pay extra for the motherboard over other 8-series boards unless...
Different workloads stress different things. As Ian points out Prime95 isn't a blanket stress test, just because a chip is stable under Prime doesn't mean it won't crash doing something else.
I have a degraded 4770K that passes hours of AVX Prime95, it can even pass 4 runs of Memtest86+. But at...
It shouldn't be slowing down during a game, that's odd.
Speedstep (EIST) is the main setting that downclocks the CPU, you can try disabling that but leaving C1E enabled and see if that helps. C1E is a low CPU power state for when the system is idling.
So I've been reading around and realized the next year of NVIDIA GPU launches was going to be a little more complicated than what I thought.
I'm sitting on an older GTX 480, but I want to hit the next sweet spot since I'll hold onto the next GPU I buy for another five years. I'll also hold...
Headfoot, thanks for the post. So I used the wrong terminology, it's a copyright dispute, but it still comes down to who actually had the rights.
And yet Unwinder took EVGA's suggestion and used it to improve a competitor's product instead. So apparently he doesn't have much in the way of...
And yet, it's the same core program and same Rivatuner backend that they contracted for and that's existed in Precision for what, 18 months now?
If the contract specifies EVGA owes licensing fees, then they owe fees for continuing to use it. Otherwise, the contract means they can continue to...
So basically, this is a contract dispute?
It depends on the contract if they bought their own copy of the software versus if they were simply licensing the software from Unwinder... If it was only a license then EVGA's in trouble. But if EVGA bought their own copy then they're entitled to keep...
Interesting, and plausible. Was wondering how steep the frequency drop would be between the 8 and 6 core models, and 500Mhz is actually less than I figured the difference would be.
I will second this. A hex-core chip at quad-core prices, with the same L3 cache as the next higher part would...
Abit. Sorry, you didn't say they had to still be around. ;)
I will only buy GB or ASUS for my main rig as I perceive them to have less issues than other brands, but neither one is a favorite of mine.
Both GB and ASUS are not capable of designing proper firmware/software for their products and...
NVIDIA and Techgage have partnered up to give away five copies of Watch Dogs!
Looks like the giveaway is just for three days, ends Friday! http://techgage.com/news/giveaway-nvidia-and-techgage-hack-ubisoft-free-copy-of-watch-dogs/
Strange, most of the Walmarts in Texas stock Diet Coke Splenda in 2 liters. When they aren't sold out of them anyway. If one Walmart stocks it I figured all of their stores would.
Install only one stick at a time and verify the system can boot from each module, because if the BIOS can't see it then it's either not seated fully or just dead.
Glad you're sticking with Verizon, you're probably better off for it.
TWC may or may not work fine for you, it is always a gamble with cable internet. You likely would run into initial problems you'd have to sort out first as well, that's almost a given... TWC runs fibre-to-the-node, not to...
Given that Snow Leopard is four versions old I don't have a problem with their choice.
Yeah, but Microsoft doesn't give OS upgrades away for free either, while Apple actually made it their current policy.
