    Google Says It Is Discontinuing the Chromecast Audio

    There is an alternative product called Audiocast M5, witch does the same job sans the optical output (and looks the same). Supports DLNA-Renderer specification natively, so it can be used with a third-party DLNA-aware player. Check it out here...

    Intel Kaby Lake i5-7600K CPU Re-Lid Overclocking Results @ [H]

    In my opinion Thermalright True Spirit 140 Direct is of a very bad design in the CPU-contact department. Termalright must have saved a few bucks by removing the bottom contact plate, but the reduced contact surface isn't going to be compensated by the enormous pressure. A Deepcool Gammaxx 400...

    And that's why I am reading [H]ard|OCP - computer enthusiasm taken to the extreme!! Never seen such a devotion as here. Holly shit, you nearly took apart and reassembled this bastard motherboard just to try this idea! Hats down! Glad you didn't have another cut with that scarry knife :dead:

    Intel Kaby Lake i5-7600K CPU De-Lid & Re-Lid Temp Results @ [H]

    I was wondering if it would be beneficial temperature-wise if the bottom surface of the IHS (which mates with the CPU die) gets polished. Another thing is what would happen if we reduce the Z-height of the IHS by filing a bit the bottom edge which touches the CPU substrate. Theoretically these...

    AMD Radeon HD 7870 CrossFire Never Settle Bundle Lucky Draw

    Most of all I like the driver support! And the performance of those GPUs, especially with 3x Eyefinity.

    Card Crashing in DXVA but not 3D

    I am experiencing the same behaviour with my Sapphire Radeon HD 5850. BUT, i figured out that when I activate denoise (from shaders menu) there are no problems playing HD content using DXVA. Go figure... MB: Gigabyte GA-P55-UD5 CPU: Intel Core i5-750 VGA: Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 (reference...

    Eyefinity 3x24" vs. Dell 3007wfp-hc

    I was thinking if AMD implements bezel management in Matrox' style by cropping the inside part of the side views/monitors (http://www.matrox.com/graphics/surroundgaming/en/product/bezel/) then some games will lose some vital parts of their UI, for example the icons on the lower edge of the...

    Chrome Fades as Users Return to IE, Firefox

    Tried it, of course, and uninstalled it. Speed isn't everything. The comfort of use is more important feature in my opinion. And believe me, Fx is unbeatable in giving the oportunity to the enthusiast user to configure it in the most desired way. So, Chrome, you have long way to go. Glad we...

    Wal-Mart Ends Test of Linux in Stores

    I think you are missing the point Kyle is making. The common WallMart customer is not tech savvy enough to make a difference between Windows and Linux (assuming both of the machines are equipped with software and pre-set to some degree). The chances he has ever heard of a Computer OS (not to...

    Asus P5B-VM Memory Recs?

    Nice try, but do notice the distorted sound at PCIe=125 MHz. I tried it and firstly I got excited about the relatively high overclock, but then noticed poping during music/movie playback... All this is in case of using the integrated SoundMax HD Audio. No idea what happens when using external...
