    Radeon RX470

    ^This Get an RX 480 instead. It will cost more, but its performance is pretty good for the money. That being said, I would suggest buying the MSI variant.

    I've finally found the keyboard for ME

    I believe that its best feature is the wrist rest. I have actually tried it because there was a Razer showcase in one of the malls in my area. It's actually more comfortable than any of the wrist rests I've tried. I just don't like the Razer switches, though.

    The inventor of Li-ion batteries is developing a vastly superior battery technology

    This is a grand idea and I am looking forward to it. But, it will probably take 10 years from now to really see it being used in almost all portable devices. Still, I think this is a promising invention.

    M2 SSD vs older SSD for OS

    Those high-end M.2 SSDs are only great if you're dealing with volumes of data. But, if you're just using it as a boot drive, you really cannot tell the difference. If there is, it will just be a couple of seconds faster, but still not that much.

    BIOS updates for AM4 motherboards

    Thanks for this! Will definitely try to update my BIOS as soon as I get home.

    TIM for new Ryzen build

    I used to change the included TIMs in the AIO coolers I've used in the past but when I bought my NZXT Kraken X62, I wanted to try the pre-applied thermal paste. To my surprise, it did a pretty good job in cooling my i5-6600K 4.4GHz at 1.34 vcore. Temperatures never exceeded 56C in heavy loads.

    Thinking of getting a Ryzen 1700

    GamersNexus said in in his review of the said AMD CPU that it is the best in terms of price to performance. That being said, you're not going to be overclocking this pretty high (at least, for now). But, I would say, go for it man. This chip is promising. You just need to wait for a couple of...

    My case fans don't start :(

    Definitely, check in the BIOS if the fans are detected. If they are, try fiddling with the fan speeds and see if that solves the problem.

    AMD Ryzen 1700X CPU Review @ [H]

    Hmm, it is disheartening that the R7 processors are somewhat "weaker" than Intel's CPUs, but let's not forget that most of the games that are out today have been tuned for Intel's offerings. Let's just wait until everything's patched up and we might see slight/huge improvements.

    Titan X Pascal - Abnormal boost clock behavior?

    This is common behavior. Nothing to worry about.:)

    Why not buy premium, expensive motherboard?

    I think that most people prefer cheaper motherboards because they just don't need the features that are present in the more premium ones. Yes, the motherboard is a very important computer component, but as the saying goes, "different strokes for different folks". I bought the most inexpensive...

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    I am eager to wait for Zotac'x implementation of the GTX 1080Ti. In terms of performance, it is a bit better than the rest. Although, I guess I have to have enough case clearance considering that the current AMP edition 1080 is more than 12 inches long!

    Got my 7700k to 5Ghz

    If you haven't delidded your CPU yet, then you're going to get some impressive overclocks with that chip! Congrats dude!

    Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura Boot_Device_LED on after sleep

    I guess that the company's busy with their new AM4 boards and they forgot to fix the issue plaguing their Z170 mobos. Maybe ask for a BETA bios that has supposedly fixed the issue?

    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Evaluation Thoughts

    Although this card may not be able to output more than 60 frames per second on 4K, it is interesting that Nvidia is now going to crush 4K in the near future. If either AMD or Nvidia can release GPUs that are powerful enough, we might see 120+ Hz Refresh rate 4K monitors in, say, 5 years' time.
