They've been saying this nonsense for years now. Good luck competing against TI, NXP, Infineon, STMicro...you know the companies that have been doing this stuff for decades. It's going to be hard switching from fat margin $5000 Xeons to $0.30 micro-controllers...
For the short time that I had my 6700K with a Gigabyte Z170X UD5, I noticed the same thing. CPU-Z gave me ridiculous voltage readings and HW-Monitor also had wrong voltages in the top section. I believe this is due to not fully supporting the Z170 chipset yet. HardOCP noted the voltage readings...
Why not just grab something like this for him? http://www.costco.com/HP-Pavilion-550-127c-Desktop-|-AMD-A10-|-Windows-10.product.100223966.html#
Sometimes building just doesn't make sense.
I actually didn't know it was type 1. I've tried using Hyper-V but graphics support is quite poor. Modern distros need some type of 3D acceleration for the UI. CentOS 7 for example runs terribly in it and while I do mostly use the terminal, I still need a GUI for looking at image outputs. I...
I am a graduate student in Computer Science and use Linux for development. Some of the algorithms I write take a long time to complete, especially if they aren't vectorized. Using x86 virtualization extensions, I read that the performance penalty of running in the guest vs the host is nearly...
They're both digital so no, visually there won't be a difference. I would like to get the XL2420G however it is too expensive for what it is. I really want it though :P.
Have you taken a look at the LG 24GM77? 144Hz with true 8 bit TN and DisplayPort for $282...
Apparently ASUS will have a mobo with Alpine Ridge in a month or so: http://www.overclock.net/t/1568154/asus-north-america-asus-z170-motherboards-q-a-thread/90#post_24277357
Hopefully they aren't talking about the $400 WS edition.
Yeah, I think the only advantage to the Z170A is its looks. I've had and seen bad experiences with Gigabyte but their Z170 mobos look solid with the Intel Alpine Ridge controllers. MSI is also a another contender.
These motherboards are within $5 of each other but the PRO GAMING looks like the obvious winner. It has heat sinks secured with metal screws, more USB 3.0 ports, better onboard audio, and comes with more accessories. Am I missing something as it seems like there are no advantages to buying the...
I was always under the assumption that it was the motherboard. I had my 920 at stock settings most of its life with two different motherboards. The first motherboard was a cheap MSI X58 PRO that failed after a couple of years. Then I got an ASUS Sabertooth X58 that lasted a couple of years...
I had the same problem with my i7 920. Random BSODs and restarts. I've had it since 2008. Several months ago I finally got fed up with it, went to Microcenter, and got an AMD 8320E with mobo for $150. Also replaced the power supply just in case. It has been rock solid ever since.
Skylake looks...
Hmm you might be right. From KitGuru:
Intels decision to leave them running without a heatsink implies that the SSDs controller is what is drawing the bulk of the units 25W power consumption.

Who cares about stupid carrizo, stop making every single thread about Intel vs AMD!!!! AMD isn't competitive, get over it and move on. Find something else to be fanatic about. It is a chip for pete's sake. So tired of every interesting thread derailed by the same people that have nothing to do...
Do you have a source for that? Legit Reviews claims it is both the controller and NAND: http://www.legitreviews.com/samsung-sm951-512gb-m-2-pcie-ssd-review_161689/3
Wouldn't it make sense that the controller throttles the speed to decrease the temps of the NAND packages?
I believe the overheating is just a consequence of the NAND working at those speeds without a heatsink. Intel has a heatsink on both versions of the 750. This might be remedied by a geometry shrink later on but for the moment these chips need some sort of cooling.
Yep. The M.2 form factor isn't really ideal for desktops and has overheating issues. SATA Express is limited to 2 PCI-Express lanes which isn't a huge deal but limits its potential. U.2 is clunky and nowhere to be found on boards under $350. That leaves good old PCI-Express as the only viable...
Actually, you might have trouble driving the monitor at 1440p@60Hz without using DisplayPort. You can try using HDMI and see if that will work. People have reported being able to drive that resolution over HDMI by setting a custom profile in the NVidia control panel.
I hope not...I'm sure some motherboards will have it. Intel already has a drive with it. High performance M.2 drives have thermal throttling issues. Keeping the drive in a 2.5" enclosure with a heatsink makes sense.
