    Why hardly any pink LED fans?

    It's also a hard color to get just right in LED. My rig is purple and green on the inside (green front intake fans, purple exhaust fan with purple LED strip to light the main portion of the components). The purple has the same issue...it looks cool, but it's a bit of a bluish purple. I'd...

    Noctua NH-U14S and i7 6800k

    I'd imagine you'd be fine. I (like the first poster who responded) have the NH-U12S, and it cools my 6700K @ 4.5GHz very well. The 14 should cool better, and should handle the 2 extra cores just fine (Noctua notes it as 'medium OC capability' on 2011 processors. You probably won't be able to...

    Deus Ex: MD has poor low/midrange CPU perf. What Graphics options will ease the CPU bottleneck?

    I saw a comparison a bit ago (not sure exactly where) that shows a HUGE performance jump backing away from Ultra preset to High. (from, say 40fps to around 85 fps), with fairly minimal difference in detail and effect in most situations. The Ultra preset starts with 4x AA, while high is...

    Deus Ex MD - CPU Thread Scaling and performance

    This is pretty remarkable CPU scaling...

    Is i5-750 as capable as the lastest i7 in gaming perfomance? Should I upgrade my CPU? Lets find out!

    That score will certainly indicate that you can game well on that setup. However, you are definitely bottlenecking that card quite a bit. My FireStrike score is almost identical, and I have an RX480...a card half the price of your 1070. (Also, this run was with the GPU at stock speeds)...

    Win 10 upgrade, clean install, still no action plan given ?

    This sounds like a major pain. I was hoping to do the Windows 10 install and buy a new 500GB SSD to replace my 128GB SSD at the same time (thus keeping my Win 8.1 drive clean in case there's some big issue...I could then swap the old drive back in and have a working installation. It sounds...

    4TB Hard Drive issue

    I can certainly try this. One of the issues, though, is that when it's installed internally at the moment, I can't seem to do anything to it (can't delete partitions, etc., or access the drive for formatting or the like...it sees the drive exists, but I can't seem to do anything with it.)

    4TB Hard Drive issue

    Copied data. I'm a photographer...this drive is my photos drive and nothing more. It's pure data. I copied all the data (yes I still have the other drive intact...it'll eventually be moved off-site as a backup) to the new drive in my USB enclosure. It was formatted using GPT. When in the...

    4TB Hard Drive issue

    Probably a stupid question, but I recently bought a 4TB hard drive to replace my filled 2TB drive in my machine (not the boot drive, one of my 3 data drives). I've been using a 4TB drive in an external enclosure for some time as a backup drive, and the new drive arrived the other day. To...

    1st Experience with Windows 8

    I really like it too, and I thought I was going to hate it. I even like the Metro stuff. It's fast, sleek and works well.

    What's the most reliable 512GB SSD for ~$300?

    The difference in loading times in most games is a few seconds. Performance in the games won't matter at all. Is it really worth $2,000 to have ALL your games load a little bit faster?

    Are hard drive prices coming back down to normal levels?

    I just paid $99 for my new 2TB drive. I wanted a 3, but I'll be adding another HD in the next year, so I figured I'd wait on the 3 and just get that later when they've dropped a bit. The first HD I ever had was 80MB, and I remember when we upgraded to a 250MB drive and we thought that was...

    New SSD and Windows 8 Installation

    Easiest way is to download the EXE...and then you can create a bootable USB or burn a DVD from the installer. (it's very easy). Reboot, install on your SSD (remove other hard drives to make it easier...I did this for Win 7, and didn't for Win 8, and had fun wrangling boot stuff for a...

    Had my first (potential) Hard Drive failure in more than 16 years of PC ownership.

    Yeah, I have been lucky. I have a cloud backup with Crashplan of all my important data (1.8 TB worth), so I always have a current backup, since it updates automatically and uploads any changed or new files. I also have several off-site backups from old hard drives, and an external hard drive...

    Had my first (potential) Hard Drive failure in more than 16 years of PC ownership.

    I got my first computer (that was truly mine), in the summer of 1996. I've had probably 20 hard drives over the course of time from then until now, and none had ever failed. Some even lasted for 8-10 years before I retired them due to speed/size. And, well, it still might be OK...but I'm not...

    Win8 Start button options

    Start 8 is awesome. The developer isn't greedy..it's a reasonable price for a VERY well written piece of code. Why the heck should it be free? The developers worked hard on it, and deserve to be paid for their work. There are ton of options with Start 8 to help tailor the Windows 8...

    Overclocks don't stick on Windows 8?

    Windows 8 Thoughts: A Necessary Evil.

    To get out of a Metro app, you just click at the top of the screen and pull down to close it. Not intuitive at all at first, but you get used to it. There are going to be a LOT of people lost when the first get Windows 8....the Metro stuff is a completely new interactive paradigm. Some of...

    Google Chrome and Windows 8

    If you run it from the desktop, it should run in desktop mode. If you run it from Metro, it loads the metro version.

    The Official Windows 8 User Thread

    Well, one day in, and it's actually been somewhat frustrating. When in Windows 8, it's been fine, but I've had more headaches with this install than any I can remember. Boot issues, followed by some odd problems here and there with my OC. And now, even though it's great and fast and smooth...

    The Official Windows 8 User Thread

    Holy crap, I think I like Metro. Not for everything, certainly, but there are some really nice apps and some nice things about it. I think the average user will be completely lost at first, though.

    Overclocks don't stick on Windows 8?

    I went to stock to install Win 8, just to be on the safe side. My machine's been at 4.5 for the past 8 months, and when I went to reenable my OC, I had a BSOD during boot, which then caused all sorts of fun until I could get the machine to boot again. I'm at stock for now, and will leave it...

    Windows 8 boot issue

    Success! I had a little bug in my ear from about a year ago when I first installed my SSD with Win 7. It had issues when installing with the other drives active on the machine. While that prevented me from installing Windows 7, it didn't with Windows 8. But, I noticed that during my first...

    Windows 8 boot issue

    I installed Win 8 fresh today. Install went fine, and was moving around and tryi g stuff out. I installed Avast, but quickly realized it causes issues, as it crashes the system when installing anything, so I uninstalled and that fixed that issue. However, in the process, I realized I can't boot...

    Please help my friend: Heat issue with 2600K under water.

    Your load temps are fine, but your idle temps a bit high for water cooling. (And even the load temps might be high for watercooling, but they're certainly not high in the grand scheme, so you don't have to worry about it). I just have a relatively small CoolerMaster TX3, and I idle at around...

    Anand says Apple A6 is an in-house ARM core design, not A15

    For those curious about Linpack - here's one data point. Linpack on my iPhone 5 (500 size problem, 20 runs) = 560.23 avg MFlop/s. On a 200 size problem/50 runs = 866.7 avg MFlop/s On a 1000 size problem / 10 runs = 395.8 avg MFlop/s. What's the 'standard' Linpack problem size that is used?

    Dead Asus Notebook

    Thanks. We did not have any trouble returning the unit. We did end up going for a direct exchange. This is my first experience with an Asus laptop, and, well, it wasn't great so far, but still, it's got a great set of features for the price, looks to be well built, and such....so let's hope...

    Dead Asus Notebook

    My wife is the prime user on this, as I use my custom rig for my stuff, and don't really need a laptop. Her ancient Dell laptop died last week (backlight on the display went out), and it's not worth it to fix that, since I think it was built with vacuum tubes. :) Anyway, we went looking for a...

    TIM that's easy to work with?

    I'm curious about the 'size of a pea' thing that people always say. That's a LOT of thermal compound. When I've done the small dot method, the size is much closer to that of a BB than a pea, which is about 5x the amount paste I've ever used. One thing to note here that hasn't been mentioned...

    Some questions about stability testing

    Why would you bet I'm not good? It's not like my volts are super low for 4.5 (1.32V). 19 days now and not a single application crash or hiccup...with heavy photo editing and some gaming. I don't frankly care to waste electricity running useless benchmarks for days on end. System or apps never...

    Some questions about stability testing

    The best stress testing is to use your machine. When I settled at 4.5 GHz, I made sure it passed 10 passes of IBT on high, then ran P95 for about 4 hours. When no issues, I just used the PC as normal. Gaming, lots of photo editing, etc. I did that about a month ago, and my last reboot (for...

    2500k stock vcore is 1.36 in BIOS. WHAT?!?!

    This isn't a problem with your board, it's part of the chip. There are frequency / voltage tables hard coded into the chip, so that 'stock' voltage at higher frequencies increases. 'Stock' voltage at 4.0 GHz is higher than stock at 3.3, and stock will be higher still at 4.5. Offset is the...

    Intel Admits That Ivy Bridge Runs Hotter Because Of 22nm Shrink

    It's been like this forever. 386 chips didn't even have a heatsink if I'm remembering correctly. I remember the stock heatsink on a 486 DX2/66 was about a quarter inch high and the same size as the chip. When I was getting the top of the line heatsinks for my Athlon XP, they were solid copper...
