    Can an SSD be firmware locked to a certain chipset or PC manufacturer?

    Most of those HP corporate OEM drives are SED, self encrypting drives. They have firmware level encryption, so if it's been enabled, taking it to another machine it will not work until unlocked

    Best x99 mobo around $300 without tons of user complaints? (what's up with all the toasted CPUs?)

    It looks like a lot of X99 boards (especially ones geared towards overclocking) have some sort of "OC Socket" which uses the "extra" pins on the LGA 2011-v3 socket to route extra power delivery. This of course is outside of Intel's design spec, and seems to result in a lot of bricked CPUs. I...

    Need new phone...Replace HTC M8

    I replaced my One M8 with an Axon 7 and it's been pretty awesome since I got LineageOS loaded onto it. Warranty is really good too

    Plex Server Chokes on 4K Video

    8 Core FX chip here. 9590 (traded my 8370 for one) I can transcode 4k plex just fine. The Plex container only has 8GBs allocated to it as well

    5820k Stock vs [email protected] (Gaming only)

    Underclock your 4770k to 3.3 and play some games, get a feel for it.

C602 boards will get you some decent coin...

    ZOTAC 9300 ITX WiFi with Q9550s

    I ran a Xeon L5420 in one of these. You'd be better off using a Xeon with the 771 socket modification.

    Looks like someone purchased it pretty quickly, sorry. It was a fixed price listing. The time zone is probably off, hence why it says 12:57. It sold 4:43 EST.
