    Who ran Haswell-E for a long time or is still running it?

    My 5960X is still rocking at 4.4Ghz at 1.25v. It runs as a back up rig on the home LAN and now cooled with a Corsair AIO. Back in the day it was on a custom loop at 4.6ghz. Its still a strong rig that crushed video edit, and paired with a 1080 Ti games very well.

    9900k or 3800x

    I have to agree with this. When I was younger and gaming and overlocking were my only real uses on the PC I always went with the cutting edge. If I had to tinker with issues or work around bugs it didn't bother me. Roll back about 20 years ago when the PC market was being stormed by Athlon...

    Epic Games Denies Client Spying Accusations

    Why is it that anyone that dislikes Epic's approach is labelled a Steam Lover and/or Epic hater? Is it not a legitimate point of view to see Epic's client scrape the Steam's Friends List file without permission as distasteful? I think it is. Folks that make excuses for that kind of behavior...

    ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula Z390 Motherboard Review

    The VRM issue is way over hyped. I agree with Kyle. This was a marketing blunder. Asus should been confident enough to announce and explain it's VRM approach but instead they felt like they needed to keep up with the Jones's in the phase count war. Huge mistake. All things being equal, more...

    Is it worth it to upgrade from 7700k to 9700k for gaming?

    Depends on the games. Higher thread counts seem to be on the rise.

    Who here Pre-Ordered i9 9900k thru Amazon?! Please post in here

    This long ship delay is going to have me rethinking the 2700X again. I haven't run an AMD rig in years and the time might be coming. I'm not too worried about the 9900K pricing....it is not value conscious,. but I AM certainly concerned with availability. Paper launches are ridiculous.

    Comcast Quietly Fired Hundreds in Direct Sales before Christmas

    Yes sir, we are. We are a privately held family owned business. We are not a large publicly traded company. Compared to Comcast which has 153,000 employees, or ATT with 246,000, yes, we are quite small with 800 employees.....especially when you consider that we have 600 drivers, 80 mechanics...

    Comcast Quietly Fired Hundreds in Direct Sales before Christmas

    LOL... No worries. I didn't come back here for days to even bother checking the this thread because I knew that those poor souls that have bought into the victim-hood role the far left wants folks them to believe in would have something negative to say regarding my post. I've worked this job...

    Comcast Quietly Fired Hundreds in Direct Sales before Christmas

    You sir, have NO idea what you are speaking of. How you presume to know what I make only demonstrates your ignorance. This is a FAMILY owned company and my salary comes no where near what number you decided to blurt out. Stop being brainwashed by the media. Oh, and by the way, I took my pay...

    Comcast Quietly Fired Hundreds in Direct Sales before Christmas

    I'm not going to get on here and start political bantering as it serves no purpose. I will say that what most folks don't get is that a majority of Americans are employed by small business, not mega corporations. I'm the CFO for a trucking company that has 800 employees. In a capital...

    Tesla's Electric Truck Aims for 200 to 300 Miles on a Charge

    We've in business since 1979 and currently have about 700 tractors on the road. 100% long haul moving primarily NAFTA freight between the US, Canada, and Mexico. We run many driver teams and these tractors never stop. I can tell you unequivocally, electric trucks have a long way to go before...

    The Top 5 Worst Motherboards of All Time

    What's the chance I had 2 out of the top 5 bad boards. LOL. The DFI NF4 and the EVGA 680i. I remember back at the time I used to say things like "these are tuner boards" and "not for beginners" and the like. I was able to nurse some serious clocks out of those boards in the day. But I...

    Accused of Underpaying Women, Google Says It's Too Expensive to Get Wage Data

    Whether Google has the information readily available or not is irrelevant. And whether or not Google makes a hefty profit or not is irrelevant. The point is that this is yet another government over reach. Extending it's claws into private enterprise yet again. The DOL, like every Federal...

    Certified AMD Catalyst 14.4 Windows and Linux Drivers Now Available

    I'm still getting black screens on my Sapphire 290X cards in cross fire. Been happening for months. Both cards do it. RMA proved worthless as the cards run 3Dmark11 for hours and would not qualify for RMA. But they crash under heavy games like Far Cry 3. My only solution was down clocking...

    NVIDIA Responds To AMD's Free Sync Demo

    Forgetting all the heated debate about what is proprietary and whether Mantle is open and whether green or red has the bigger e-penis, the real point is that I cannot imagine anyone being happy about having a specific monitor attached to a GPU in order to enjoy functionality. That is much...
