Just my opinion - 2017 has to be the biggest letdown of all time.
Here is a list:
Crazy Ram prices
Insane used GPU prices
Vega letdowns... well long wait anyway
SKL-X sidestep in perf. from Broad-E
RGB as the biggest feature
Z370 needed for Coffeelake
Agree, disagree? Any I missed?
I really want to get an asrock itx am4. The specs look very close, but I was wondering if the x370 has an edge compared to th3 b350 when overclocking such as more bios options. Just wondering if the x370 version is at all worth the premium in price.
Ok, maybe not very exciting but still intersting:

So it looks to be basically Ryzen with a few security features. Will it support ECC? Will it have higher binned chips akin to XEON in the past?
If...
So I really want to go sff. I already have a e3-1245 v5 and just saw an ITX board for it. It seems that the e3-12xx v6 (kaby) will use the same mb. Do you guys think there will be a good chance that this board will work with v7 (coffee) as well? It seem Intel doesn't screw with the Xeon guys...
So i decided to download the newest bios for my m/b since it claimed it has expanded memory support. I was hoping for higher frequencies for my APU. Anyways, I tried uploading it in the bios from my usb drive, but it said it could not read anything. After that, i checked it in windows, but...
I recently picked up a 7860k for my everyday computer. I had an 860k before this, but wanted an APU again since they make my o/c Tahiti more stable when GPU folding.
System Specs:
A10-7860k @1.54 volts (all other volts were stock)
A88XM MB from MSI
2133 Mhz Ares Ram from G.skill
I used 3dmark...
So I recently purchased a referance HD 7970 for $100 on ebay to do some DC. The
card worked great, but even at 925 MHz core, the gpu got up to 85*C at 50% fan. Using
60% fan, the card stayed sub-80*C, but it was SCREAMING. I knew my wife wouldn't
tolerate it so I had to do something...
Ok, so I am using a A6-6400k with a stock fan and a crappy MSI ITX board with no cpu voltage control.
Start: [email protected] ghz (turbo), Ram@1866mhz and iGPU@800 mhz NB@1800mhz
End: [email protected] ghz (turbo), Ram@2200mhz and iGPU@988 mhz NB@1770mhz
After doing some tests, it was often the NB that...
I didn't see an intro thread, so I figured I would use a new thread to introduce myself :)
My plan was to return to folding after a 4 years with used hd 7970 or recently ordered, but after reading through the forums, I realized that PG is not worth supporting.
Anyhow, I plan on using...
