The Junction temperature max is probably 150C, not 100C. If that is true, it means this is operating 50C below it's limit which is hardly concerning.

I can't even begin to be excited by "15% faster". I'm still waiting for doubling my speed from my 2600k. Guess I'll keep waiting.

This is great news for enthusiasts.... This will surely usher in a new age of lower cost coolers....

What advantageous does rolling my own bring? It seems like it's a bunch of extra work, but I don't understand the benefit. Does FreeNAS have better feature set, or is it just better hardware (CPU/Ram) or what?

So I'm looking to get a NAS. I want to use it as a network drive across 3 home computers. I'd like to be able to use window's allways avaliable even if offline thingy. It would be nice if I had access from the internet into it, but not required. I'd like it to support 2 drives and Raid 1...

I was going to complain about not linking directly to the source, then I found out that Charlie Demerjian thinks his opinions are worth a paywall these days.

Is there a known good source for a legal, (retailed preferred) copy of windows 7 professional (or higher)? I'm creating another machine and I want windows 7. I've tried everything above it, and prefer windows 7. So I've looked on amazon and nothing looks very legit. Are there any known...

298 WN8? Wow....

edit: nvm, guess this is covered above.

This looked really interesting, then I saw the price. I've toyed with the idea of making a mini ITX system, but no way in hell at that price.

If it doesn't double my speed, then it's not worth an upgrade. Taking a 10 minute task to 7 minutes, just isn't that big of a deal to me. Unless it can change a task that takes longer than overnight to something that takes an hour, it's not going to change my workflow. lol30%faster just isn't...

So there's still not a monumental increase in speeds. My 2600K is at 4.5 Ghz and it won't double my performance. Wonder how much of a difference is the CPU and how much is the RAM speeds. Doesn't really matter I suppose as the Encoding benchmarks would have shown it if there was any.

I'm in NA and I'd love a nice big power supply as the basis of a high end build.

I'd much rather have quality game play, than fancy graphics. I actually hate it when people make games 3D that don't need to be. For the same development time, you'll get much better graphics with a 2D game than a 3D. As to why a there are a lot of 2D RPGs that all look the same, it's because...

Looks awesome. I enjoy both real golf and video game golf. They're two separate things in my book. That being said, I really hope real golf simulators come down in price soon. I'd love the convenience of having one, but at the current price tag for ones that do direction & spin, they're...
