    Overclocking apps broken after Meltdown/Spectre Windows Patch

    7700K on MSI Xpower +3600 TridentZ Opinions/advice

    Hi folks, I just recently built a new gaming rig, consisting of a 7700K, GSkill TridentZ 16GB (2x8GB 17-18-18-37-2) RAM and MSI Xpower Titanium board. I put a Kraken X62 on the 7700k given it's a thermal reactor by itself, and have now installed a 500GB Samsung 960 that will host the main game...

    Dropped MSI X370 Titanium for the ASRock

    After laying a preorder for the X370 Titanium by MSI, it occured to me there are a number of problems in their marketing - 1. they don't advertise a backplate, which the Intel models (Z170/270) have, the VRM pictured certainly don't seem to be the same as the "Ti" branded ones on Intels and it's...

    Zen hype getting over the hill now

    Call me a flamer, but don't get me wrong because I'd be glad if it turned out to be true, but some of this hype from certain sites is getting a bit "over the hill". I just spotted this while reading the news this morning: AMD Zen: A serious Challenge to Intel And it ain't even from WCCFtech...

    Where art thou, Rampage 4 black edition?

    I've done a bit of searching over the last couple days, but I can't seem to find any of these for sale at a reasonable price, brand new. My R4E is starting to have headers die on it, namely some fans and the USB3 header is damaged leading to 1 port not working at all (even noted in device...

    Samsung GS7 likely to stick to Micro USB

    So, 1 day out from the announcement it's looking more and more concrete that Sammy won't be jumping on the type-c bandwagon for the S7. Having highly anticipated this phone myself for quite some time, this is a real feal breaker for me, as much as I love the idea of waterproofing and the new low...

    Intel 520s showing nearly 1M hours on time

    Just a quick question, but my Intel 520 drives (one 480GB owned since May '12 and one 120GB since Sep '12) are showing 930,000+ hours of uptime in NZXT CAM, and my newer 240GB one only 10,000. Between 2013-2014, my rig spent much time i storage with no power on, so how can this be the case? Do...
