Mini-ITX Z270 Boards

Got an msi 270 - putting it in a first time mini-itx, watercooled build. Threw it together quickly to make sure all parts work. Still have to re-do tubing and cabling, but will probably wait for Asus Z270i to show up until i fix it up. Going to see which board overclocks a 7700k better, and sell...

Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

That's a great quote, it made me laugh. We need to accept that we are reaching the physical limits (that is, the limits imposed by physics) on silicon transistors (we are getting close to quantum effects dominating at smaller process sizes). The next BIG step in computing will either use...

Scientific Linux 7.2 Intel i7-4790 (4 core /8 threads) 3.6-4.0 GHz Base/boost 150 samples. 51.62 sec Windows 7 Intel i7-2600 (4 core /8 threads) 3.4-3.8 GHz Base/boost 150 samples 105.04 seconds Interesting that 2500k @4.5 GHz = 2600 stock.

I can't post a picture, but once you open the AMD blender file, on the right side of the screen there will be a 'Sampling' drop down menu open, where you can change the number of "Samples". Change "render: 200" to "render:100"

My rough pixel counting measurements put Kaby at 9.2 mm from top side (end with notches), versus 10.8 mm for Skylake. And ~13.8 mm from triangle side versus 14.3 mm for Skylake.

Thanks for the pictures. I believe those are the first pictures of a Kaby Lake de-lidded anywhere. I spent a lot of time trying to find some. Looks 'almost' identical to Skylake, but hard to tell about die size... my quick image analysis with counting pixels results in ~124-125 mm^2 versus 122...

Running gaming PC w/o grounded outlet

Just because there are two prongs doesn't mean it isn't grounded. It's grounded, wouldn't work otherwise (or very briefly ;) . I think the problem lies elsewhere. (http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/everyday-tech/question110.htm)

Ivy Bridge 3570K Testing, Opinions, Results, New Bios, 4.5Ghz At 1.236v

Some points to also consider are that heat transfer is not just dependent on thermal conductivity values for materials. There are many other factors that come into play, namely temperature differential, and also clamping pressure of the heatsink to the IHS or die.

As a physicist, I gotta agree with Absolute0, Ferzerp, puppies04, etc. the IHS can only reduce the effective removal of heat generated by the die. Wikipedia has a good write up on interfacial thermal resistance which explains one aspect of it -...

Hi, I'm wondering what the best motherboard is for support/stability that has 3 PCI slots, which could be a combination of PCI-X or PCI? Two of the PCI slots will be used for frame-grabber cards for cameras, and the third will be for a microscope stage motor controller. I've only found 3...
