    I can't believe what people are paying for 2500K and 3570K combos

    There are a few low profile video cards available, from a 1030gt GDDR5 version (avoid DDR4 versions) single slot low profile, 1050 and 1050ti dual slot low profile, and rx 550 or 560 dual slot low profile. Some SFF have wattage limits and poor layouts that limit you to a 1030gt or shorter...

    Win10 activation question

    If you upgrade the windows 7 to 10, even cloning to a ssd before the upgrade it will attach to the motherboard. If you take the ssd and install a fresh windows 10 and not input the key you can run un-activated. If you can still use a windows 7 key to activate 10 by then is unknown.

    Is there a way to protect against reversed payment scam for digital key on ebay?

    I'd send the code through the ebay mail system from your account to the buying account, then ebay can see you sent it to the winner. They cannot say they didn't get it, but they might say it didn't work.

    Will the new Radeons on 7nm compete with Nvidia?

    Rumors are rumors, but it would be a nice shakeup if AMD is planning a price upset. I am interested in the $130 3300G 6/12 15 APU and $330 3700X 12/24 CPUs and the $250 3080 GPU and the $130 3060 without external power connector.

    Epic Games Sues Yet Another Fortnite Cheater, Alleging Copyright Infringement

    Copyright is a stretch, it isn't code being changed, it is memory values. Windows crashes with a program on a memory error are you going after Microsoft? Cheating in multiplayer is foul, but single player I loved my game genie which I am sure galoob won a copyright case against nintendo so...

    Intel's i9-9900K Is Only 12% Faster than AMD's 2700X at Gaming, but 66% Pricier

    No, remember when Athon 64 was better than Pentium 4? AMD went to asking Intel prices. I agree they had to raise their profits, but they were budget before and I believe they priced themselves out of gaining marketshare. Currently though, to be within 12% for a 66% price savings there should...

    G4560 noticeable from G4400?

    G4560 is essentially an I3-6100. 2 cores 4 threads and uses slightly better ram 2400 vs 2133, but gives up 200 MHz and AVX 2.0 instructions. No big loss for a gaming box. I would think it is an upgrade over a g4400. May be able to sell the G4400 for $30 to $45 judging from ebay. Makes the...

    Samsung Expected to Slow Memory Chip Output to Maintain Market Pricing

    What competition? Last price fixing had five makers, and two have been bought by the remaining three. Only threat coming at them is China beginning to make their own. Does anyone else still believe in a 'free market' with all the collected data so makers of anything know how to manipulate...

    Steam Accused of Objectifying Women after Approving Uncensored Porn Game

    Ryzen / Ryzen 2 - Best Budget cooler?

    ASUS AREZ No More

    If you read Kyle's article, GPP wanted the gaming lines exclusively tied to nvidia. What nvidia said publicly was damage control. Republic of Gamers (ROG) for instance is a premium ASUS brand. Nvidia didn't want their own brand, they wanted all existing gaming lines of all brands to host only...

    NVIDIA Pulling Plug on GPP

    How are people not getting this? GPP wanted the gaming brands tied exclusively to nvidia. Then raedon becomes a graphics card and not a gaming card. When the uninformed consumer wants a gaming card they will only get nvidia. AMD didn't ride on nvidia's coattails on Republic of Gamers, Asus...

    does mining really lower the lifespan of GPU cards?

    Seriously miners, is 24/7 stock or under volted core over volted memory month after month truly less taxing than gaming loads? Who games 24/7 all year long? I've been on 72 hour weekend LAN sessions.... but every single day? Don't sell used cards as new or like new or used gently. You know...

    Samsung Electronics Estimates 56% Jump In Profit

    Supply and demand is a joke. Larger groups have been buying up smaller makers for years, then manipulating the supply chain to keep demand inflated. Since there are 3 or so big players they can agree to keep prices high. Think they had done this before with 6 groups last time they were...

    Why does my i7-7700 say Max Turbo Frequency 4.20 GHz

    I5, I7, I9 and Xeons have a Turbo boost feature. They run at a reduced rate and ramp up to their max speed automatically under load. Mining is probably using all the cores/threads so you get the 4.0 Speed. If you had a single thread application you would see that 4.0 go to 4.2. All non K chips...
