    Why is the Seagate Barracuda 120 SSD called the Barracuda 120 SSD and not a Barracuda SSD??

    The short and sweet is that the 120 is the new version. The technical spec differences are below. Barracuda SSD - Toshiba's 64 Layer 3D TLC NAND, Older controller (Phison S10) VS Barracuda 120 SSD - Kioxia 96L BiCS4 TLC or Micron 64L TLC, Newer controller (Phison S12)

    Fans that look good on the exhaust side

    I've been looking around for fans that looks good on the exhaust side. I found: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LB0GJAI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but they're damn expensive. I did end up buying a few and so far they look good and sound fine on low(they sound...

    Atari E.T. Video Game From the Alamogordo NM Landfill Dig

    The link for the $1.2 million above is my brother. He put it up as a joke, but he'd sure as shit sell it if someone actually gave him an outrageous offer.

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    I'm using the bios that was issued after release that had the UEFI fix. Other than that I usually just updated drivers every so often. I have yet to have a black screen in 2 days so I'm thinking that installing the original drivers for the card and then upgrading through the versions has fixed...

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    I saw that on reddit yesterday and checked it out. My registry was already configured like that before I rolled it back to the beginning drivers. Thanks for the pointer though.

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    I've only tested this for a day now so I'm not going to give this the seal of approval yet but: I did not have any issues with my card until I had to reinstall windows. After the reinstall I installed 20.2.1 and had blackscreens almost every other time I'd start a modern game. Had issues even...

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    Doesn't really apply to me in any way as I said I use a water block. The issues did not occur until had to reinstall drivers on a fresh windows. Literally one day everything fine and dandy on old windows install with fairly up to date drivers, next day reinstall windows using the same drivers...

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    Never had issues with my Radeon VII until I had to do a reinstall of some stuff. Installed the same drivers I had been using and card was black screening every time I maximized a video (youtube, amazon, netflix). Every time I started or exited a modern game I had a chance of either a black...

    Epyc Engineer Sample: 2S1905A4VIHF4 Testing

    For anyone that might be curious about these. They are first gen Epyc Engineering samples that have been floating around on eBay for a while. I bought one about a year ago just to play around with and test. Understand that regardless of what I say below, I am not recommending you run out and buy...

    Ryzen 1600 AF or 1700x

    I'd stick with the 1600af for gaming. You should be able to get a decent memory clock to hold as well as the cpu clock and those 2 things combined would offer a much better gaming experience. That also means you can sell the 1700x unused to put toward something else.

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    I have 2 computers here with the x470 Aorus boards. In my bios under peripherals I have the baked in RGB Fusion, when I select an option it changes MB and RAM together to match. I just remember the nightmare I went through trying to get my color to change using the software and the RGB software...

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    I'll load it up when I get home from work today. It's been a while since I set the color for my PC but I kind of just remember doing like an apply to all in the RGB Fusion options in the bios.

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    Having used RGB memory on my gigabyte board not too long ago, I had a similar experience. The trick to fix it was to get rid of the software and set the color in the bios.

    Radeon VII for $500

    To give my experience, I use mine for both gaming and productivity. It does run extremely hot with the stock cooler and can be loud if you don't have good airflow/ambient temps. It pulls a lot of power so you do need a decent power supply. I did put mine on water and it now sits at about 50c...

    Ipmi in non epyc boards?

    I have the epyc asrock epycd8-2t that has it and was bought off newegg directly. If I remember correctly it was announced about 6 months before it actually dropped online for sale. That x470d4u board was only just announced so it might drop in somewhere between now and august. Edit - as a...

    Four days after launch, AMD's Radeon VII is still not widely available

    Well, another update for you guys ordering direct from AMD, my card that was ordered on launch day, and didn't actually reach FedEx until Monday night and was scheduled for delivery today is apparently stuck in MN due to weather. No estimated time of arrival at this point.

    Four days after launch, AMD's Radeon VII is still not widely available

    Just a forewarning some of us that bought through AMD on launch day are still waiting for AMD to send our cards out. A couple of threads have already started popping up on reddit of people complaining. I'm "supposed" to get my card tomorrow but according to FedEx and some people that have...

    Well, Newegg Sold out of all their XFX ones in like 30 seconds flat, but they went up around 11pm EST ahead of schedule, few people on reddit said they got their order in. Also a side note, Newegg posted the XFX cards for $599. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150820

    LawBreakers is now free on Steam, least till the servers die in September 2018

    This is the standard MO for the Nexon (the publisher). They push out and charge for early access games, then move them free to play to avoid certain legal problems regarding taking down the servers, sell as many loot boxes as they can, and then sunset the servers and call it day. They've done it...

    28 - Core Intel Demo Questioned on Cooling

    Paul's Hardware gives a nice close up of the components and the mobo. Correction* 32 (4x8) pin power for the cpu. Apparently 32 phase power delivery. Absolutely insane.

    1st AMD build in a long time!!

    I got the same mobo and its been working good for me so far. I recommend turning on fast boot in the bios as the stock bios screen lasts forever. Also make sure you put the newest bios version on a fat32 formatted USB because it comes stock with an old bios revision. The XMP and EZOC(or...

    New AMD Ryzen 2700X Build Help Request

    I got a decent deal and got a set that has Samsung b dies. While I'm not running them using the xmp profile I did get them perfectly stable at great timings at 3200 (14-14-14-30-44-1t). I am perfectly happy with what I paid vs the performance I am receiving. Sometimes you can't just take the...

    New AMD Ryzen 2700X Build Help Request

    https://valid.x86.fr/qg4jpm I still need to run some stress tests but I was able to get much better timings and so far it has been stable. The processor isn't overclocked, that's just the speed it sits at most of time due to xfr. The video card is also a stand in until I can get a decent deal.
