I've asked a similar question before but this year it is once again relevant. Microcenter is running 7700Ks for $279.99 and my 2500K is looking a bit long in the tooth.
I am currently running a 2500K @ 4.5 GHz on a P67 board. With microcenter selling 6700Ks for $259 the upgrade bug is starting to bite. I've read a lot on this board about how kaby lake and the Z270 platform is coming soon. Given my situation, is it worth making the jump now given the price or...
I posted a couple months ago in the general tech forum about a power cycle issue and the consensus was that the most likely culprit is my almost 6 year old HX850. That said, I'm looking for a replacement PSU that can power an OCed 2500K and 295x2.

To those who know more than I: I have a potential problem.
In various games, my 295x2 does not run at full core clock in crossfire. In some, both GPUs will be throttling down from max, or sometimes one will run at max while the other throttles.
ULPS is disabled in afterburner and in the...
I recently purchased a Sapphire HD 7950, Did some minor overclocking, had it running rock solid at 1200/1600 @ 1.25v. Temps never went past 65 C. It was running this way for about a week now. Started up today, had major artifacts in all 3d applications I tried (Crysis 3, heaven). Reverted to...
Hello all. Recently purchased a Gigabyte GV-R797OC-3GD 7970 and promptly returned it after discovering it was voltage locked. Doing some research I am lead to believe most of the 7970s in production at the moment are voltage locked. As such, I have turned my attention to perhaps a 7950, which do...
