Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
When you mention "Gaming Mode" and "OC Mode", I did a double take at the similar terms used to Gigabyte in their Aorus Graphics Engine software as there are 4 settings in there, the aforementioned two and an additional two of "Silent Mode" and "User Mode". Interesting standardization even if...
I get so sick of self serving snobs hating on everything that comes along and not allowing people to enjoy things. Honestly sad people with sad lives spreading the misery because they can't stand the thought that somebody might enjoy something that they failed to find enjoyment in. Some people...
Yes and no about the excitement part. While it IS technically better in every way then SLI, due to it's nature it will be far better suited for splitting compute loads then graphics loads. Gaming won't benefit much over SLI in the same ways compute does. NVlink is great for HPC, but is still...
This was exactly the mentality that I approached my recent build with is that the 7700K+1080Ti+1440p@165hz+Gsync combo would be extremely well balanced for longevity of high game settings versus performance. 165hz may seem a hair overkill, and later on as new games stress the 1080Ti even harder...
THIS much is true, it's so easy now that if you buy the right parts, they overclock themselves without even any intervention on your part, granted. However, even in the cases where the motherboard automatically applies Turbo clocks of 4.5Ghz to all 4 cores instead of just one as it's supposed to...
Then it might help if you frame them as such instead of framing "opinions" as fact that you don't know.
Edit: Yanno, what? Nevermind the advice, you clearly have it under control. Carry on :)
By reading his input up to that moment, I most certainly could know. He made his lack of experience apparent with his choice of sourcing information. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to infer his lack of experience in the matter. You are completely ignoring the context of my comment.
And what you may not get, or even believe, is that I love Ryzen and what it represents for AMD! And what it represents for Intel users as well! Ryzen's success is success for ALL of us PC gamers, because it will force Intel to price more competitively. So believe me when I say, I will...
Good! That makes much more sense. Enjoy the Ryzen. However, you don't need to justify your preference by bashing Kaby Lake unnecessarily or in the faces of those actually using them when you, yourself, have not tech supported any or dealt with them. I'm not trying to insult you by saying your...
If you are that interested in my job specifics, send me an IM and we can avoid derailment of the thread. However, your assertion of never buying the chip only reinforces my initial suspicion that you were simply here to bash Intel. I'm a big AMD fan from since back in the K6 days, but have been...
Here's where I will compromise with you, Rez, and this is it. No further.
The whole Kaby Lake series DOES run very hot. It runs unnecessarily hot as Intel could have done better in it's IHS to core contact, we all know this to be true, hence I cannot deny that and wouldn't, it's truth. This hot...
