    New Build Completed -- i5-8600k @ 4.8ghz, 1.275v + Overclocking Guide

    Did not even attempt 5ghz with higher AVX offset after noting the 8c temp difference for 10 millivolts and 100 mhz speed difference from 4.8 to 4.9 with 3 AVX on the mid size U9S cooler. Perhaps with a better cooler, it *might* be achievable but not worth it to me just for bragging rights...

    New Build Completed -- i5-8600k @ 4.8ghz, 1.275v + Overclocking Guide

    Good day all. Just an update after ~ 6 mos of use with this build. It has been flawless to date and the overclock remains stable @ 4.8ghz, but I have tweaked the voltage by 0.005 and am now running @1.28v (vs 1.275v previously). This was done to increase the overall system responsiveness...

    New Build Completed -- i5-8600k @ 4.8ghz, 1.275v + Overclocking Guide

    I just finished stability testing over the long weekend of my recent i5-8600k build and believe I have settled on the sweet spot for speed, temps, voltage, and overall system responsiveness. This was my first build in almost 7 years, and probably the easiest overclocking situation yet. Here is...

    Overclocked i5-760 + GTX 1070 Ti @ 1440p Bottleneck Question

    Appreciate that U&T. Got a bit of a chuckle as it's actually far worse than I expected, ha. Been a good system, but It's time... 7 years is an eternity in technology. Thanks again.

    Overclocked i5-760 + GTX 1070 Ti @ 1440p Bottleneck Question

    Hi All. Can anyone ballpark for me what kind of a bottleneck I’m looking at pairing an overclocked Sandy Bridge i5-760 @ 3.8ghz with a modern GTX 1070 Ti for 1440p gaming ? This aging box is also running Windows 7 too, so I’m well aware of not having access to DX12 without Windows 10. Just...

    How will we know that Desktops are dying? What will be the signs?

    You know, I've been hearing about the imminent death of the desktop PC ever since I did the last few builds for our family and relatives nearly 7 years ago. And when my wife bought a 2nd gen Ipad, I actually thought then that there might be some truth to that given how convenient and useful...

    First New Build in 6+ Years... Excited!

    Yes it does! It also has 3 5.25" drive bay slots (I still like having an integrated DVD burner handy) and one day while cleaning years back, I accidentally vacuumed up one of the filters that protects the empty bays. The CM case also has an interesting interleave of plastic that makes it...

    First New Build in 6+ Years... Excited!

    Thx. Yeah, I love the look of the Lian Li with its side window and quality parts, including many numerous thumb screws and slick black aluminum finish, but the Cooler Master is also an awesome case at about 1/2 the price, with better cable management options, better airflow, and ability to...

    First New Build in 6+ Years... Excited!

    Thanks for the reply. I deliberately chose the smaller U9S because I prefer a smaller look in the case. I did the Tuniq 120 and a few other large coolers many many years back. They were extremely heavy and looked a bit ridiculous, tbh. My two dated PCs, including the OC'ed i5-760 I'm typing...

    First New Build in 6+ Years... Excited!

    Hi folks. Back on the forum after a long time away. Had largely retired from PC gaming years ago shortly after BF4 came out, but now my son, who's a young teen, is getting into computers and I thought it would be a great experience to show him how to build a PC. Something fun for Dad and son...

    IMF admits it got the effects of Austerity wrong

    Exactly correct. As Eagle and others have stated in this thread, the 'surplus' was a 10yr forward projection (as all projections are) based on then current, but unsustainable cap gains tax revenue driven primarily by an unsustainable internet bubble. There was no Clinton surplus. And absolute...

    IMF admits it got the effects of Austerity wrong

    I seriously hope you are joking but if you're not, it is exactly this kind of selfish attitude that is punishing future generations with, among other things, the crushing national debt obligations we currently have.

    "CEO To Workers: I May Fire You If Obama Wins"

    While a bit unusual, I actually find this guy's candor somewhat refreshing. 'If Obama wins AND taxes/regulations go up, I will downsize the business.' And yeah, I'd rather know going in that my position might be in jeopardy and have time to plan / look for other work, as opposed to getting...

    IMF admits it got the effects of Austerity wrong

    Take it down a notch. I've had it up to here with both parties and their holier than thou stances on 'no new taxes ever' (Repub) and 'more govt is the solution to our lives' (Dems). I don't want to crash the economy. But how can that be avoided Phokus? We are nearing the point of no return...

    IMF admits it got the effects of Austerity wrong

    Except... we NEVER do. NEVER. Because what will happen when someone says "now that the economy is humming, we have to raise taxes to pay for the debt we incurred during the recession," BOTH parties will say..."No way! You'll kill the recovery!" Keynsian economics sounds great on paper, but...

    IMF warns on U.S. economy

    Keynsian economics would work if we had politicians that weren't morally bankrupt and a citizenry that didn't expect free shit all the time. But the fact is that we DON'T raise taxes during good times to pay for the government spending/stimulus we incur during bad times... "You can't raise...

    French kick Sarkozy to the curb - Hollande to tax rich at 75%

    How have austerity measures 'proven to fail' all across Europe?? It's only been like 1 year of trying!!! You mean the whining lazy spendthrifts can't take cutting back on eating out 4 days per week with no job? Austerity means just that: Cutting back. Getting your financial house in order...

    [POLL] Is Ron Paul fit for Presidency?

    Sure he's qualified. But NO I don't want him as president. His isolationist (err... "noninterventionist" bfffshhh, yeah right) foreign policy and desire to cut the military budget more than 50% automatically disqualify him in my eyes. And yeah, that military industrial complex means jobs (which...

    Obama recess appointing Cordray

    You are talking about 2 different things. 401k performance is linked to whatever investments you happen to be in at the time. And if you have a strong equity bias or aggressive growth bias, you are going to take a hit when the stock market hits the skids. These people you claim to know...

    Obama recess appointing Cordray

    Was about to post this. Wow... really going to pour gasoline on the fire. Okay, bring it. We won't know if people agree or not until Nov. My bet is that this is the final step in his demise. We have a stagnating economy and the goal seems to be to grow government with the wrong type of...

    Wow do you really want to go there, Craig? 95% of your posts defend or suggest a view of "support Democrats right or wrong for the sake of it." I can't remember the other 5% (but I'm certain they don't support Repubs ():) )

    Obama recess appointing Cordray

    Psst... your Dems get plenty of contributions from Wall St too genius. And Barney's Frank was dead against any reform of Fannie/Freddie as the bubble was getting bigger and bigger in 2003-2004, because Fan & Fred were significant contributors to Democrats. Yes, I am against this agency...

    Obama recess appointing Cordray

    Exactly. The Dems started this nonsense when 'W' was in office and now that they are having it done to them, they don't like it very much. So Obama goes ahead and makes the recess appointment in direct violation of Congressional rules/precedent that would block such appointments. He wants to see...

    Another record month of gun sales in DEC

    I share these sentiments exactly. Before anyone gets to shoot at the range with me, borrowing my guns to do it, they get a safety tutorial from me which thankfully, the few good friends I have taken to shoot have followed to the T. Most of us who learned to shoot properly at a young age take...

    U.S. rejects Chavez's cancer statement

    Chavez grows more delusional by the day. But delusional or not, what he has done to that country... taking it from a promising democracy to an inflation-wracked poverty increasing socialist shithole is nothing short of disgusting and sad. He can't die fast enough.

    High End TN Monitor?

    Another vote here for the Dell U2412M IPS panel... for $317 shipped when they go on sale, it's hard to beat. If you're not playing FPS, this is likely the best all around choice for the money. Moot point, but I'd recommend the TN panel in my sig if it was still made (19x12, 4ms, zero input...

    Being pro-life is utterly untenable and stupid
