    SSDs Could Get Cheaper with Samsung's Cutting-Edge Tech

    Nope, they charged more for their 3D Pro drives, they'll charge relative to those. Maybe after the first generation or two there will be significant declines... Samsung consistently charges more than Micron, but at least with 3D Nand they have a reason to.

    Blue LEDs Given Nobel Prize in Physics

    Do you even give a damn about whether birds are dying? If you do, you better be a vegetarian. Fossil fuel also kills birds. Not to mention damaging an entire ecosystem when something breaks. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill wasn't that long ago... LEDs save money by using less and lasting...

    ASUS R7 265 DC2 & GTX 750 Ti DC2 OC 1080p Review @ [H]

    The 750 Ti I have boosts to 1320Mhz out of the box on a single fan small cooler and it barely warms up. Something is really off on this card.

    Intel Xeon L5639 Hexa(6) Core LGA1366 Price:US $79.80 Used Ebay Seller

    No program is the same. I've also found IBT starts losing Gflops when you aren't completely stable but stable enough to not crash. I get [email protected] no HT. HT might lower the score a bit. I was getting 90 when I was trying to see what the chip could do at 4Ghz+.

    Intel Devil's Canyon Core Processor Presentation @ [H]

    The only thing a Devil's Canyon review needs is old i5/i7 OC vs DC i5/i7 OC on some decent air cooler or perhaps water. Hexus tests stock with stock cooling with a bunch of irrelevant tests. The only thing semi-useful was the power consumption.

    Google Self-Driving Car: A First Drive

    I hate driving for the most part. City driving sucks, nerve-wracking with all those cars. Long stretches of highway is boring. The only places I find it enjoyable around here are windy mountain roads where if I make a mistake I fall to my death. I would enjoy a self-driving car... I do not...

    i7-920 idle around 60 C, stress hits 100 C

    There wasn't anything wrong with the stock cooler, was there? That should've only been using the crappy but works push-pins(though using the CM212 system when the screws don't fit quite right is a big pain). Sounds simple enough if it's just the bracket though. Hoping to hear the results.

    i7-920 idle around 60 C, stress hits 100 C

    It sounds like there isn't any solder between the CPU and IHS or something like that. I used to run a [email protected] on the stock cooler. Idle 40C/Load 70C in 21C ambient. And you put a Kuhler on it for only a 5C drop just makes me think 'air gap'.

    Intel Xeon L5639 Hexa(6) Core LGA1366 Price:US $79.80 Used Ebay Seller

    I keep flip flopping back and forth on it. It makes sense that it would be all of the uncore and the Dram voltage is for the DIMMs only(but still has an effect on Intel's controller?). I always assume the CPU is limited by switching speed instead of switching strength so I'd agree with...

    Intel Xeon L5639 Hexa(6) Core LGA1366 Price:US $79.80 Used Ebay Seller

    Oh, I was specifically talking about Primetime's overclock. I forgot about faster mem speed. Yes, DDR speed higher than 1600 will need more VTT because the L3 will need to be faster. 12MB of L3@4Ghz would be quite the feat.

    Intel Xeon L5639 Hexa(6) Core LGA1366 Price:US $79.80 Used Ebay Seller

    I'd be afraid of killing my chip using those voltages. I have found a stable spot at 200x20 with decent voltages. Memory is at 1603. My qpi voltage is 1.225. I haven't tested lower yet. I'd be surprised if you need 1.3V for any Westmere at 200bclk. This is the Uncore voltage, which is...

    Intel Xeon L5639 Hexa(6) Core LGA1366 Price:US $79.80 Used Ebay Seller

    The P6T series might not be able to change PLL to lower than stock. My V2 will only let me go to 1.8V, otherwise I would for the sake of power. One of my limiting factors would be the Coolermaster 212 I'm using, though staying under 70C in IBT@4Ghz is nice.

    Intel Xeon L5639 Hexa(6) Core LGA1366 Price:US $79.80 Used Ebay Seller

    I got the X5650 today and popped it right in. I was able to get a quick and dirty score at 4Ghz of 911 in Cinebench, but I need to use it tonight so down it goes! I'm limiting myself to 1.35V without load line calibration, but I'll do my best to beat you.;)

    AMD Phenom X3 720 -- Very Hot Under Load

    Steam Hardware & Software Survey: April 2014

    I just want to be sure. There haven't been any boards with problems accepting these, even if the Bios cpu support list doesn't have them? Asus P6t Deluxe V2 could use an X5650?

    Why don't reviewers analyze cards better?

    Any decent cooler must cool the memory and VRMs too, even reference cards cool them. It's difficult to find reviews that point out the cooling on the important components.

    Verizon Seeks Payment For Carrying Netflix Traffic

    I look at it like this. The tennants are paying for the 5 parking spaces the big rig is using up, so the apartment manager shouldn't have a say in it. I think the real problem is, nobody knows how much data costs, so there is a disconnect between paying $xxx for xxMb/s. I really think...

    Titanfall - Respawn Entertainment's first game

    I'm really interested what the gamers today will think of Half Life 3 when/if it's released. I think what is taking so long is Valve wants to be 100% sure that they don't receive the hate much of the gaming industry receives today. It may never live up to the hype. It's too bad most...
