    AMD, Roy Taylor, the Nano, and the Press @ [H]

    Man, this is really sad. Poor move on AMD's part, but it's times like these that [H] shines. Piss off Kyle, and it's scorched earth. This no BS article is a breath of fresh air and I like how he has no filter and no patience when it comes to stuff like this. Been reading for over 15 years, and...

    Best computer for single threaded work productivity

    Well, BOXX only sells workstations for the creative professional and they make a big deal out of the overclocking as it pertains to single threaded applications, like Solidworks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NSv18EKTMM

    Best computer for single threaded work productivity

    If you absolutely have to buy it pre-built because work won't let you build your own, here's a pre-overclocked system from BOXX that will maximize single threaded performance: http://www.boxxtech.com/products/workstations/single-socket/3dboxx-4150-xtreme

    Funny Mac Pro vs. BOXX Commercial

    BOXX has next business day on-site support. That's kinda the thing about buying a BOXX. Certified systems, support for professionals, measurable ROI and lower TCO. The video was in good fun. And do you think BOXX would ever had made the front page of HardOCP in any other way? ;) /BOXX...

    Facebook Is Still Failing Marketers

    I hope Mantle fails miserably.

    SMH Mantle IS, in essence, the low level API present in DirectX 11.x found in the XBONE. DirectX 11.x is a SUPERSET of 11.2. What else is included in 11.x besides the 11.2 subest? The freakin' low-level graphics libraries that allow close to metal programming for GCN cores, also a subset...

    AMD Radeon R9 290X Video Card Review @ [H]

    Great review Brent and Kyle!

    Mantle is PC only and will not be in consoles.

    Clever semantics by Microsoft. Of course the PC-side marketing name for the low level API we're all talking about is not supported by the XBOX One. But what do you think DX 11.x is? It's not going to be available on the PC, and that's for a reason - it's close to metal. What metal? GCN...

    ASUS Debuts “Powered by ASUS” Systems

    Out of curiosity, what level Intel channel partner are you? You must realize that this is a volume based game. Sell more product, get more attention. That, and marketability. Make a splash in the media and you might get some attention. So obviously people do care about these companies or...

    ASUS Debuts “Powered by ASUS” Systems

    ASUS Debuts “Powered by ASUS” Systems

    Well, then that makes sense. All of the above companies are nationally known and advertised, and are seen in mainstream reviews. Not sure what the ROI would be for Asus to try to reach out to every mom and pop builder out there...

    Maingear's Epic T1000 TIM

    Try a reflow before you do anything. Go through the process again, this time screw down the the two screws on the side that had the thicker part of the ETI - the part of the horse shoe shape that would have been the thickest. Do this WHILE the temperature is high and you have the pump...

    Modern Warfare 3 The Vet and the Noob Trailer

    After carefully watching this video a few times and comparing the graphical quality, I'd say that Battlefield 3 still has better graphics.

    On Bulldozer: If you're building a gaming PC, this is going to be the way to go.

    Not trying to argue your points, but I did want to mention that R10 is terribly optimized for that many threads, you should use R11.5 for reference.

    Turnover in the Tech Industry Marketing Department

    And to clarify - most marketers that have influence over roadmaps/features are "technical marketers" and they are the ones with EE's and MBA's. So blame them for over-promising and under-delivering. Or just do what everyone does in a crunch, and blame TSMC.

    Corsair Hydro Series Liquid CPU Coolers Now Available

    The ECO 240 was available directly from CoolIT pre-Corsair. The model in that graph is the ECO II head (same cold plate/pump used in Corsair units) matched to the ECO 240 radiator, which was reused for the H100. So thermally it has the same profile as H100. CoolIT is selling directly to the...
