I've been out of the loop for a while since I left the semiconductor industry. I though the Ryzen 2xxx would be current for a bit until I got a google alert 30 minutes after making the deal about the new Ryzen CPUs. I traded a Dell 7577 w/1060 6gb for the desktop in sig.
Am I SOL on future...
Hello everyone,
I just got a Thinkcentre M73 Tiny USFF that has an i3-4130T. My main goals with this PC is to keep it working as an HTPC and an extremely casual gaming setup and hopefully cheap as I bought this for $45. I use my Thinkpad X230 for casual gaming on the go and would like better...
Hello everyone,
Just picked up a Dell 7577 with the 1060 6GB Max-Q installed. The performance has been great but I was wondering if I had made a mistake going with the limited version of the 1060 6GB. I looked at GPUz after gaming and didn't believe the numbers I saw. It denotes it as being the...
Hello everyone,
My system only has one 8GB stick of DDR4 in it. I was wondering if I'm not using it for 3d gaming does dual channel help out?
Also, I'm thinking of adding in a 4GB DDR4 stick to stave me off until a 16GB stick becomes relatively affordable. It still runs in dual channel with...
About to move and thinking about going all laptop to save space. Is the GTX 1050 4GB as fast or faster than my 270 (270 with OC right below 270x) I'll be pairing this likely with an i5-7300HQ (4c4t 2.5-3.5). On a budget but also want it to last a while, hence not going with MX 150 laptops...

Hey everyone, I just looked at GPU prices and dropped my jaw through the floor. How much money am I looking to get a 50%-100% performance increase? My R9 270 is factory overclocked, really close to 270x levels.
Just curious, what was a good deal that you got on something? I keep finding myself getting really, really lucky on things and looking back prices are outrageous on the same things.
I'm happy you fuckers are here. When I get bored with the people in my circles and want to read about current and upcoming tech news, help with cars or to talk shit about each other in the nef thread, I come here. I appreciate those of you still posting. Every other forum I frequented as a...
I try to use everything that I buy and sell or gift away things that I do not. I cannot for the life of me encourage myself to use my Kindle after my first few weeks of owning it. I've had it for a couple years now. I also cannot seem to part with it.
What's your piece of tech you don't seem...
My wife and I were just rear ended by an SUV while in our Honda Fit and will be getting a check for it shortly. We're thinking about a pre-owned volt. As this car is a hybrid/electric w/ electric drive is there anything special I should be aware of? I have a 110v outlet in my carport that I can...
What the hell happened to cops going for real shit? I see people being busted all the time for fishing without a license, yet we have people able to drive without a license or insurance and total people's cars (at fault no less) with no penalty.
TL : DR Got rear ended at a light, guy going...
Hello everyone. I have a 16GB M.2 SSD to put in my X230 Thinkpad. I already have a 1TB SSHD with Windows 10 that I still want it to automatically boot to without a prompt. I want to put Linux on the 16GB M.2 drive just for coding.
What is the exact process to do this? Do I disconnect the SSHD...

With the reemergence of low TDP chips coming back into style, cooling a modern processor doesn't require much these days. The simplicity of swapping out CPUs would lead to more CPU sales in comparison to motherboards as people could upgrade far easier. Reusing motherboards with newer generations...
I'm just curious. When I look back I remember lurking for years before starting an account. I wanted to know things like why did my Pentium 4 play music files better while I was gaming than my Athlon, what video cards to avoid, and cheap deals.
Why did you start coming to AT?

Since my laptop (A10-4600m) has a faulty fan for the second time I went on eBay and bought the top model Thinkpad X131e. It'll be here in a bout a week or so. They're going for $95 these days and seemed like a solid compact laptop. I've never owned a mobile "i" variant CPU before. I have a...
They are absolutely terrible. If you're an adult sized male they chafe the inside of your thighs like sandpaper if you're doing anything other than sitting at a desk. No one should be subjected to that. Nylon boxer briefs let you climb a mountain and then play a basketball game before giving you...
Does anyone else have experience with BLU phones? I started buying them when my Note Edge (Note 4) eMMC failed out of warranty. I can only buy unlocked phones and prefer dual-sim phones due to traveling abroad for work often. I initially bought the Life One X (2015) but the touchscreen on it...
Hello everyone,
I just bought a Verizon branded Galaxy Note Edge from ebay that didn't say it's unlocked. I thought all Verizon LTE phones were unlocked. Is this the case? I have metroPCS (T-Mobile).The ESN should be clean for this phone. It's a seller that's sold thousands of the same...
Hello everyone.
I just switched over my both of my iPhone 6 to MetroPCS from Sprint but during a sale I got two Samsung Galaxy on5 phones for free, which it turns out I really like the customization of Android again. Here is the spec page at GSMarena. It's a quad/1.3Ghz/a7 based/5"...
