    Update your bios, get free memory performance

    With the new bios for ryzen 2 thread rippers I was able to bump my memory clocks up quite a bit I was able to boot into windows at 3800mhz 16 18 18 38 and 3266mhz 14 14 14 34 where before I would insta-crash at those clocks, it looks like the 3800mhz isn't stable, but so far so good on 3266mhz...

    Just spent a bunch of money :p (Need a cooler I suppose)

    So I finally pulled the trigger on my next gaming PC, my current one was built like Oct 2011, which is a pretty good run compared to how it use to go. It started with buying the case at work, then the PSU at work, to complete mind disconnected impulse buying when I got home. Here's the damage...

    FS: AMD Bulldozer FX 8150 w/hsf $160 obo

    Hello, I have an FX8150 that I want to sell, nothing is wrong with it, never been overclocked (sad I know), and it probably hasn't seen much use as I've been busy with work and my comp has mostly been off for the past couple years. I'm kinda wanting to buy an FX9370 since they are cheap, but...

    Crazy deal?

    I just went to pickup bf3 premium from best buy and decided to get these batman 1 and 2 steel book blu rays for $10. When I checked out they gave me *two* 5 dollar gift cards, one for each DVD which I'm assuming is a screw up as they are normally $30 without the black Friday discount. May want...

    BF3 doesnt start

    I have a relatively old system, when I try to start BF3 from the web interface, it starts a BF3 window that is solid white with the bf3 icon in the center, sits at 100% cpu and about 55% ram usage and nothing ever happens. Is there any way I can tweak configs or something to lower the...

    Ie7 for x64

    Just saw this on the inq: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=31274 I tried it out, installs both 32bit and 64bit binaries in Xp64 and *gasp* they made the icon on the desktop open the 64bit binary by default instead of 32bit. Which hopefully means 64bit plugins are finally "required" forcing...

    Playing dvd's without the disc

    I know that I can use dvd decrypter to get an iso image of the dvd itself, but I have more dvds than hd space. I figure that since mpeg2 is pretty old it should be possible to recompress it into a newer lossless format and do the same with all of the sound tracks as I'm sure they're uncompressed...
