I need a 9900k, but since they're perpetually sold out everywhere, I noticed SiliconLottery has them in stock for $499. My concern there is its not going to be a sealed, boxed CPU (and therefore an unscratched lottery ticket) but one they've already binned as the worst performers that they...

Look ma, no Windows 10!

Hey guys, I completed a VCP 5.5 certification course recently and need to sit for the exam now, haven't scheduled it yet. I've gone over the Blueprint but I still feel like I'm not 100% prepared and not sure why. Perhaps its because I've read of other people using things like braindumps to...
