    Celeron J1900 Bay Trail

    In Intel burn test at least, a quad core baytrail running at 2.16GHz was withing spitting distance of my sandy bridge dual core celeron 1.4GHz. If I ran on half the cores, I got half the performance. BTW, the Celeron 1.4GHz is about as fast as the core 2 duo p7350 at 2GHz. So 2 baytrail cores at...

    The referral rewards won't work for you (although if you refer others, there's a different set on bonuses), but the decal codes will.

    Noctua NH-D14 AMD & Intel CPU Air Cooler Review @ [H]

    The thing to keep in mind is that this was only the second dual-tower super cooler, and it came out years ago (Thermalright's IFX14 was first). A year ago I asked Noctua when we could expect a followup. They said "really soon", and then the 14S came out... maybe that is what they meant? But...

    GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs. Radeon R9 290X 4K Gaming @ [H]

    On that note of "can't use highest in-game settings"... have you found AA is still even beneficial at 4K on a sub-40" screen? I'd love to see another angle on this: 1080p gaming with SSAA. I'd be interested to see if 4x the pixels, scaled down, equals the performance of 4x the pixels as-is...

    SilverStone AR01 & AR02 CPU Air Cooled Heatsink Review @ [H]

    Please, PLEASE stop using the True Spirit 120M as reference for the value comparisons. I can't find it anywhere for $30, and for that matter, it's hard to find period. Even the 140M seems to be more common, and usually for the same price (~$40). The Coolermaster 212 EVO seems to be THE cooler to...

    Does Haswell use crappy TIM between the IHS and silicon?

    I posted a youtube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ofY39x0S0Q The vice method is the way to go. The TIM Intel uses is not the main issue, but the thickness of the paste. My first try (with too much paste) I actually got worse temps than before.

    i5-4570 (non-K) tweaking and MSI Z87-G45 gaming review

    Here is most of the dialog with me and Intel (sans the phone calls): === ME === I just tested it myself. You are correct on all points. And you CAN underclock and undervolt (tested it with 4570). That being said, I want to express my displeasure on how Intel has handled the Haswell release...

    i5-4570 (non-K) tweaking and MSI Z87-G45 gaming review

    *This post will be continually updated with new info* I can confirm that both limited multiplier (4 steps) and strap multiplier is not on the haswell non-k processors. And this is for an i5, so the dream of the return of i3 overclocking is dead. All you can do is force max turbo on all cores...

    Microsoft Lampoons Google Chrome Ad

    I have an IT company named "Layman Technologies". I was telling my accountant the other day I want to go after bigger companies. He said he didn't like my name. I retorted that I've had people say they like the name. He recommended tracking who likes it and who doesn't, so I know who to market...

    Attn: All Phenom II Black Edition owners!

    So, the cat is out of the bag... Bulldozer is a flop... but on the bright side, those that are still rocking Phenom IIs can feel safe waiting a bit longer. Anyway, I wrote quite a bit about the Thuban in the last half of 2010 (unfortunately xtremesystems is down right now... where most of my...
