It really depends on how you plan to play them back and what quality you prefer. I prefer uncompressed audio and video for my home playback and have built my environment to support that. My go to is Plex Media Server, as it is a very capable platform and can support any number of different...

It is not recording everything and uploading it. As the reddit post points out, it listens for the keyword to do anything. It would easily be proven by now if it were recording everything, which can be done by anyone that knows how to view network statistics on their connection. I can see that...

I'll give you one example out of several where power delivery is important for Coffee Lake. Take a look at 8700K overclocking with the ASUS Z370i, which appears to be limited to less than 5GHz in AVX workloads. This is significant as it has the same power delivery as the Z270i motherboard, which...

You should consider a 5775c. 8700k gaming performance without the need for a whole platform upgrade. Throw in a 1080ti and you'd be set for another couple of years. Or just sell all your stuff (sell me that board....so hard to find one that isn't priced to the moon) and upgrade for not a whole...

Interesting (encouraging) performance gains there. I have a feeling AMD is going to need to make it rain CCX's to keep up.

The default fan profiles on motherboards (and CAM) are too aggressive for the 7700k. The annoyance is the fan speed differential. If you decrease the differential between idle fan speeds and load fan speeds it will be much more tolerable. If you have an AIO cooler, you don't need to have the...

Still have your receipt? RMA! 3 year warranty on the Deluxe and it launched in August 2014. That said, I really like my ASRock X99 Taichi and the price is very nice.

I disabled core 0 in CPU affinity for the Forza executable which has helped smooth things out. It wasn't terrible on my main system but was not quite right for the FPS displayed (75-90fps). No more dips in framerate. I also have a Skull Canyon system connected to a 1080 stuffed into a Razer Core...

The article is lacking how it was measured. Horsepower in a gas engine is a calculation. Torque output@RPM / 5252= Horsepower. An electric motor produces torque based on load, the more you load it, the more it produces. You cannot simply throw a Tesla on a dyno the same as you would a gas...

I can confirm that the bclock is limited on non-K. You might be able to get 104-105 before crashes.

Selling some parts to recover what I spent to get Skylake all set up. Everything is in perfect working order with boxes, manuals, etc. I can post pics later. Intel Broadwell Core i7 5775C. - $400 Shipped. Hard to get your hands on one but I managed to do so. CPU has not been overclocked. It...

Article was updated with the above information. This was already known, nothing to see here.

You all do realize that MC will match Newegg as well as "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" prices? Also the 6700k has the same $20 bundle discount.

Keep checking. New inventory doesn't show up on their website until the next day. It will also depend on when they get their trucks in. You will probably need some luck, last Friday the St. Louis store got thier first small number of 6700k that were all sold before 3:00 so they never showed up...

Microcenter in St. Louis has nine 6700k in stock as of 2:15.
