    Zen release date announced!

    I love me an AMD comeback story. I'm hoping for the best. I still have some Vishera chips in use. I have a Devil's Canyon build too, as well as a Sandy Bridge still knocking about. I like both manufacturers. I use an FX-8320E in my main rig, yeah it doesn't benchmark as high as an i7, but for...

    ISO - Decent quality Android TV Stick / Box / Mini PC

    It's on my shortlist. Just wondering if I should get one of these beefier android tv boxes with a better GPU for the kids. I might try both actually. They're cheaper than a PC that's for sure.

    ISO - Decent quality Android TV Stick / Box / Mini PC

    I've been looking at the Fire TV box, I shop at Amazon frequently and have Amazon Prime, there are actually shows my wife and I watch on Prime so the Fire TV would probably be very easy. Does it play video files from a thumb drive? And if so how versatile is it in terms of codecs and containers?

    ISO - Decent quality Android TV Stick / Box / Mini PC

    I've been looking for days and there's all sorts of options, but I've never heard of any of the brands, they all seem to get mixed reviews. Except for the Minix M8 @ $160 seems to be well respected. But I was looking to spend more in the $100 range. It looks like the Amlogic S812 and Mali 450...

    So you walk into a Micro Center and......

    The UD4H is pretty solid, all of them are really, but I'd snag the UD4H as first choice.

    [First WC Build] Seeking advice and opinions

    Yeah this is true. I got rid of one reducer, there is a 3/8" barb on my CPU block going to my VRM block. I still have a reducer going from VRM output to reservoir because my only 90 degree fitting is a brand new Bitspower that I wanted to use. Next time I order parts I will likely get the 3/8"...

    Distilled water. Which i5? 2500K or 3570K? What voltage do you need for 4.5GHz?

    [First WC Build] Seeking advice and opinions

    Might add a GPU eventually. Mostly I was looking for the best CPU cooling performance possible for my mid tower case. I tinkered with the loop today. Added some new fittings and set the sequence up so the two rads cool in series before the CPU. Temps while folding

    GTX 670 HDMI Output Issue.

    I have the same problem using a Gigabyte 670 and Panasonic 32" TV. It's weird though because this has never happened to me with an AMD card. I had 6970, 7950, 7970, no problems at all. But with my 550ti and 670 I have this problem and its really annoying. Might go back to AMD. Or just get a new...

    ASUS P8Z77-V CPU Socket Cover, Help Needed

    I liked this new socket cover design. I thought it was much safer than snapping the one down under the locking arm. Well done ASUS. Unfortunately when I bought my P8Z77-V PRO all the BIOS versions were a PITA and had several glitches. I got fed up with it and sold the board. Well actually the...
