  1. The Wink home automation thread

    It's here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075RWFCHB/ref=ods_gw_d_jl2_sr_ml?pf_rd_p=fc77bb63-8359-4273-a138-59bfd44c0446&pf_rd_r=Q4P914Q4KXKZ88066ZVS Amazon's Echo Plus with built in hub, $150. Game over, Wink and Smartthings? Looks like it might be Zigbee only...
  2. The Wink home automation thread

    And surprise... it's AsRock that's come out with the next HA hub! http://www.anandtech.com/show/11767/asrock-announces-x10-iot-router-wifi-and-zigbee While this product probably isn't going to take off, one thing's for sure: Amazon will take over the market from ST and Wink within the next two...
  3. [News-Hardware.fr]Sudden "shortage" of Pentium G4560

    Latest reports are that Intel is cancelling it due to cannibalizing of Core i3 sales. Not surprising since it was such a great chip, and Intel isn't really into providing fantastic values. Source...
  4. Are you using (or planning to use) Crossfire or SLI?

    To add some cold hard facts to the discussion, I thought I'd offer up my recent GTX 1080 Ti SLI benchmarks at 4K. I've been publishing SLI benchmarks since the 980 Ti SLI generation, and scaling is definitely getting worse, but it's a whole lot higher than zero. For comparison, here are the...
  5. 1080 TI Causing High CPU Temps ?

    A number of factors are involved. Yes, the 1080 Ti uses more power and generates more heat than the 980 Ti, which was already a hot card. Yes, your CPU is working a bit harder. But most importantly, that case simply can't be used for the setup you have. It has next to zero airflow. If you'd like...
  6. I need case suggestions

    Most nvidia cards include backplates, as do many radeon cards. A 160mm-long power supply will hit this backplate if mounted in the Core 500. Either buy a card without one or remove it before installing.
  7. I need case suggestions

    The Fractal Design Core 500 is your best choice for those particular parts. Ideally, you would not have purchased the cooler and PSU before the case, as much is dictated by the case itself. A 160mm will just barely fit. You will need a video card without a backplate. You can see my step-by-step...
  8. Battlefield 1 released!

    Hey, thanks for that - I should have looked it up! ;) Obviously no helis in 1914, but I think that makes it harder for squads to move around quickly on maps. It's just a limitation of the time period BF1 is set in. The slow tanks is another example of this problem.
  9. Battlefield 1 released!

    LOL, I agree with so much of this. I personally really miss the transport helicopters. Also, why is it that I'm at rank 20 or so and haven't picked up a single new gun? Maybe I'm missing something about how upgrades work, and I could probably google an FAQ, but honestly, I'd rather spend the...
  10. gtx1080 ti

    OP, you're fine. You won't even come close to the limits of that PSU. How do I know? Because I tested it. 437 watts at maximum overclock on a 4.3GHz Core i7-6900K, which uses twice as much power as your CPU.
  11. 27 game shoot out: RX 480 vs. 580 vs. GTX 1060 [tpu]

    While I respect the work Steve puts into his GPU reviews, he really made a big mistake in testing all these cards at their factory overclocked levels and then not listing the specific cards and clocks in the graphs. It basically makes the results meaningless. Putting aside the red vs. green...
  12. CF RX 480

    Very nice setup, guskline! Did the Crosshair VI Hero actually provide better overclocking than your B350 board? The C6H sample I received had a failed DIMM channel, so I switched it out for a Gigabyte B350 board. AMD has provided competitive options with Ryzen, and hopefully Vega will also...
  13. Dell 30" 120Hz 4k OLED display...

    Hate to say I told you so a year later, but this was entirely blown out of proportion with false quoting of a 120hz refresh rate. Furthermore, at this point, the price drop does not impress me. The entire OLED market has changed dramatically in the intervening time, and my new 65" LG OLED 4K...
  14. NVIDIA Pascal Thread

    Interesting tidbit for any EVGA owners thinking about stepping up to the 1080 Ti. As of now, EVGA is only planning on including the 1080 Ti FE in the Step-Up program (which is how I got mine). While EVGA just announced custom models, none run at reference clocks, and EVGA only includes...
  15. NVIDIA Pascal Thread

    I don't think the three way bridge will work the same as two single bridges. I believe it's wired so that each of the card's SLI fingers are split - each finger "talks" to a different card. This is hinted at the fact that the J1-J6 numbers are not in order. I'm not positive about that, but if...
  16. NVIDIA Pascal Thread

    Have a look at these benchmarks I published on the HB Bridge using GTX 1080 SLI. If you're talking about HB bridge versus a standard single bridge, absolutely - you'll pick up another 2-3% minimum. But two standard bridges used in tandem will have the same effect, so if you have at least one...
  17. The Wink home automation thread

    The bundle of white wires with a red wire nut appears to be the neutrals. In that case you can go with the Leviton Smart Switch. But there's no reason not to go with the Caseta, since you're already familiar with it and it's generally superior in terms of aesthetics and functionality (the Pico...
  18. i7 6700k Stock Fan Temperatures?

    A new cooler can help, but it looks like the actual problem is that the voltage is set way too high on that chip. And for what it's worth, you can easily run an overclocked Skylake chip on the Intel boxed heatsink, let alone a stock chip. I know because I've published a review doing just that...
  19. NVIDIA Pascal Thread

    EVGA is offering a one-time "step-up" to the ICX version of your existing EVGA card for $99, free shipping both ways. Seems like a pretty nice deal for the upgraded cooling. EVGA even throws in an additional 90-day step-up in case you'd like to then move your card up to the next level, to say...
  20. mATX or mini-ITX H270/B250 motherboard?

    That's good news, although you're always taking a chance with motherboards released prior to the CPU. New firmware only became available in December, so old boxes sitting on the shelf could cause users a lot of frustration.
  21. mATX or mini-ITX H270/B250 motherboard?

    You'll be able to build your own STX PC with the G4560 within a month or so. That will become the new must-have combo for SFF fans. You have to be patient though. The CPU isn't even available yet, nor are any STX boards that would support it.
  22. mATX or mini-ITX H270/B250 motherboard?

    Be careful - those are two different classes of SFF systems. The Cubi 2 Plus uses desktop CPUs and the STX format. The Cubi 2 is simply a NUC clone, and uses laptop CPUs. While the Cubi 2 Plus is interesting for fans of STX, the Cubi 2 isn't all that compelling. It's more expensive than the...
  23. mATX or mini-ITX H270/B250 motherboard?

    The Core i3 NUC is about $280. Roughly speaking, if you go with low-end MicroATX components instead, you can get twice as much computing power at the same price (using the Core i3-7100). Memory, SSD, and OS costs are constant. So the performance per dollar winner is clear. But these aren't...
  24. mATX or mini-ITX H270/B250 motherboard?

    Do you need 4K output at 60Hz? If so, get the NUC. While Kaby Lake is supposed to support 4K/60Hz across the board, so far all B250/H270 motherboard manufacturers I've checked are listing their HDMI outputs as 1.4, which doesn't cut it. Intel's Kaby Lake NUC does in fact have HDMI 2.0.
  25. Trying to get get above 30hz at 4k on my R9 Fury on my 4k tv/monitor

    You need an active adapter, which means the Club3D product. A cable alone isn't going to do it for you. In fact, as the specs mention, it only has 4K resolution support up to UHD 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz.
  26. 4k 144Hz GSync Monitor!!!!!

    I interviewed Nvidia at CES about this monitor and learned a few interesting things about how G-Sync is used, and how the monitor hits 144Hz at 4K despite the fact that DisplayPort doesn't directly support it. You can read more about that here. Also, the point of this monitor isn't to run at...
  27. Radeon Vega Architecture Preview Thread

    All I was told was that some of the features work on hardware, while others will either require driver or game developer support. Scott even hinted at another effort like AMD's Mantle, but focused on Vega.
  28. NVIDIA Pascal Thread

    MSI shared some critical info with me yesterday at CES. Turns out the 1080 Ti does exist. I've added some details regarding the conversation to my coverage of the NVidia Keynote: http://techbuyersguru.com/ces-2017-nvidia-keynote
  29. Radeon Vega Architecture Preview Thread

    I chatted with Scott Wasson and other AMD reps yesterday at CES and have published my coverage here: http://techbuyersguru.com/ces-2017-amds-ryzen-and-vega-revealed While Scott provided me the full rundown on the architecture, I was able to glean a bit more on Vega based on demos and a bit of...
  30. AMD Zen - Key Dates and Information

    I interviewed AMD reps yesterday at CES and was provided a lot more information on Ryzen, some of which hasn't been reported anywhere else, as far as I have seen. Might want to add my article to the OP: http://techbuyersguru.com/ces-2017-amds-ryzen-and-vega-revealed
  31. NVIDIA Pascal Thread

    I warned you guys! And no, there won't be additional announcements. I'm here at CES and know that Nvidia isn't even booking media booth tours. It's just a show-and-tell booth on AI and automotive, not focused on gaming.
  32. Need to inject a few thousands in my setup

    FYI, tri-SLI is no longer supported, so you won't be able to fully load that 1600 T2. ;)
  33. NVIDIA Pascal Thread

    Nvidia's presence at CES is focused almost exclusively on AI and vehicle tech. I visited their booth last year and I don't recall a single video card being on display. In fact they are located in the automotive section of the show, and this year they're right next to Volkswagen (and have nearly...
  34. Budget gaming build

    Great build there - you'll be very happy with it! You sort of "overbought" on RAM and PSU with regards to the overall budget, but you made very good choices with each, so consider those high-end upgrades to an otherwise mid-range PC.
  35. 4K TV won't display 4K resolution when connected to PC

    Cable does matter actually. An old cable (prior to 1.2 I believe) won't work. I know because I've tried it. OP - getting 4K/30Hz should be automatic, getting 60Hz takes tweaking. If the system doesn't default to 4K/30Hz, get a new cable. Your GTX 970 is perfectly capable of 4K/60Hz/4:4:4...
  36. Budget gaming build

    One tip regarding the 6600K: unlike previous unlocked processors, it does not come with a cooler, which was Intel's way to increase prices without actually charging more. Add a minimum of $25 to your budget to buy one if you want the ability to overclock. The otherwise identical Core i5-6600...
  37. Budget gaming build

    The bigger budget gives you a lot more options, but I have four thoughts on that build: (1) You should get DDR4-3000 RAM, as it's the same price as DDR4-2133, and will boost performance by 3-5%. Also consider dropping down to 8GB total. (2) With this kind of budget, you should really consider...
  38. Budget gaming build

    You should use the motherboard, CPU, and memory from your current computer and buy a cheap combo for the kids. Frankly, if BF1 is your game, a dual-core CPU is totally the wrong way to go. Your 2500K will be significantly faster. And given your budget, you don't have enough room to get a CPU...
