I initially thought the same thing. For the Ryzen 3000 series, the only reason I'm looking at the x570 over the older boards are turnaround time with the AGESA / BIOS updates. Yes, you can pop in a Ryzen 3000 chip into an older mobo, but who knows what type of priority mobo manufacturers will...

Interesting. I'll wait and see what they say. It should be RMA'd, but if they give me any issues, I may go that route. What ended up causing blockage. Sediment build up? I wonder if there's a way to unclog without taking the tubes out. For instance, holding the radiator a certain way or...

I'm thinking the same. Especially not something I can fix. I've already emailed corsair support. I am. The fans and pump seem to be flowing at correct RPM's, as well as the fans. I even had pump in performance mode, didn't make a difference. (2000 or 3000 RPM I believe?) Yeah one tube...

I'm comparing temps between a Corsair H105, and a Corsair H100i V2. The H105 has a 38mm thick radiator while the H100i V2 has a 30mm thick. Both are 240mm The rig consists of these core components in question: -Asus Sabertooth x79 -Intel Core i7 4930k overclocked to 4.5 GHz on all cores with...

Unless something goes horribly wrong with launch, will most likely finally be upgrading my 6 core i7 4930k to the Ryzen 9 3900x.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated. I was leaning towards that way.

Just wondering on peoples takes with Simulated vs Pure Sine Wave UPS's. Currently my home server has a Pure Sine Wave UPS (Cyberpower in particular), however my Gaming PC has a Simulated Sine Wave (APC) Battery Backup. I'm contemplating changing out/upgrading the APC and getting another...

I see where you are coming from, butt am not woried for several reasons. 1) I took less than a grain of salt with the 16C leaks. I don't see how a 16C/32T would have even been remotely possible with a 4.3 Base Clock on first round of 7nm at 135W TDP, Let alone 2nd or 3rd round. IPC...

Me being a techie geek and owning an Android Device, I was impressed and surprised Apple is giving battery replacements for only $30 including parts and labor. Some of my non-techie friends who own iPhones are saying they'll never buy an iPhone ever again. I told them I am surprised by their...

I have a Seagate Ironwolf 8TB. No issues after a year so far (knock on wood) HGST if money isn't an issue. Not a fan of Western Digital's speed/benchmarks.

Correct. Some drives are noisier than others. It honestly depends what kind of click. CrystalDiskInfo is the best option to see if those clicks mean anything.

In the AMD Control Panel, there should be a way to change what apps specifically will use dedicated graphics. For instance if you have dGPU for nVidia and Intel onboard, you can make the changes in nVidia control panel. Usually just browsing around Windows, in web browsers, etc... dGPU will...

Hey guys, My "ASUS Assist" fan is acting up (the one near the rear I/O Panel). I believe it's actually called an "I/O Cover Fan". My 5 year warranty expired about a half a year ago. I'm a bit nervous to just completely remove it, in case there's some sort of heat sink under there. I looked...

Just a FYI, Android Auto was officially updated to 2.8.5745 on 11/28/17 https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/android-auto-2-8-5745-release/ May not have rolled out to everyone yet, however you can install the APK manually if you really want to test it ASAP. On the official...

Yep. My nexus 6P cable came with a USB C to C cable, a charger brick, as well as a short USB A to C cable. Pixel 2 XL only came with the C to C and charging brick, no USB A to C. Not sure what Google was thinking, especially when a USB A to C cable is needed for 99.8% of computers to transfer...

Would like to post a follow-up update regarding Android Auto issues (For my Pixel 2 XL). After closely monitoring the official Android forums - Specifically purchasing an Anker PowerLine+ USB 3.0 cable, I am not having problems anymore - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3NB6FB/ The cable...

Holy crap that is awesome. That is through the AIDA app on Android communicating with the Aida App on PC?

Mushkin has great customer service too. One of the few American companies left. I'd say you *might* get close to $200 if there are Visa Checkout coupons, Amex coupon, cash back, or whatever 3rd party coupons you may be able to find. Edit: I have a 500GB 850 Evo i use for gaming. I honestly...

Yes, 240v generally will generally increase (even if its slight) over 120v. Newer power supplies lessen this gap, but still 240v is more efficient. Give thanks to the US of A for rebuilding all the European countries from the ground up after WW2 with 240V and leaving us with shitty 120V

That's funny. I have https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835209044 for my VRM on my Asus Sabertooth X79. Bolts right to the motherboard and facing right towards the VRM. I had it when I had a 3930k and never took it off when I got my 4930k. The 4930k is a lot easier to...

This is also true. Even with Verizon / Pixel partnership, footprint is only a fraction compared to the Galaxy devices out there. I guess the HTC M8, maybe even the M9 was the last phone HTC released on all carriers, and went down hill from there

Look on the bottom of the CPU to see if there are any burnt/broken/damaged capacitors... That will cause it to have issues

When I had my 6P, had no issues with Oreo. IIRC, Nougat bricking devices (5x or 6p, forget which one had the issue) stems from hardware problems which hadn't came to light until Nougat. Maybe hardware wasn't fully utilized until Nougat, or certain aspects weren't at least.

Yeah I'm not sure.. I do know my wifes iPhone has absolutely no problem with iOS CarPlay. Also, I never had a problem once with my Nexus 6P and Android Auto. Issues could have started with Pixel. You could tell your friend to try using the original A to C cable which came with his Pixel 1...

You'd think HTC would want to capitalize on US sales. Then again, advertising in the states isn't necessarily the cheapest. Even with advertising, the HTC M8, M9, 10, 11 didn't do so well Another theory, Maybe as part of Googles investment in HTC prevents them from selling the phone in the US

I'll give my two week experience/update with the Pixel 2 XL, and maybe some advice. I have the "Google Unlocked" version from the play store using Verizon Wireless. I am on Nov Security patch with all the November fixes. I prefer the "Boosted" colors. The Blue Shift: I honestly got over...

I would swap FB Messenger with "Messenger Lite: Free calls & Messages" It's a lower profile messaging program without the lag, bells, and whistles. It's also officially by facebook

Honestly... a few years ago I looked into the whole NAS for Plex server, and as an external storage system as a whole. I ended up just building a mini-ITX system with a 3770k CPU. Gives me a bit more power to run other stuff (like a VM) and was able to toss two Hard Drives in there anyway. I...

They do make cheaper NVMe without the super fast speeds (same speeds as the regular 2.5" SSD's, 600ish read/write). But still a little more pricier. Not sure what storage size you're looking for. But yes, definitely no "real world" performance difference. Especially if you're playing online...

I'd agree with Arestavo's RAM comment. Ryzen relies heavily on RAM speed, where the Intels not as much. Make sure you have latest chipset drivers as well. The intel had more PCI-E lanes, but I assume you aren't using SLI/Crossfire on your new AMD board

I agree. The pricing sucks. The gap between 1070, 1070 Ti, and 1080 is not huge. The gap between a 1080 and a 1080 Ti is VERY large. Mining is definitely causing pricing disruptions. The 1070 is a 150w card which also makes it very nice.

Definitely wait. If you had a 4-core I'd say maybe, but the 3930k being a 6 core, you will not see any differences in gaming especially at those clocks. I personally have a 4930k at 4.6 Ghz. I ask myself if it's worth upgrading CPU/Mobo/RAM combo, but always talk myself out of it within...

Well written article, and I really like the conclusion. It generally shows there's not enough of a performance difference between chipsets to justify the ~$700 difference between platforms (comparing 16 core vs 16 core)

Did you try clicking the "check for updates" button manually, twice in a row? AFAIK, anyone with a Verizon SIM can do this with no issue. I know people with T-Mobile SIM's for some reason aren't getting the OTA

If you want to play games while streaming on twitch, I would NOT recommend a 7700k, you will have the same problems considering they're both 4 cores. 8 threads will not make a difference in this scenario. OBS (which you'll probably use as the encoding application) uses CPU to encode. Most...

I agree with Atarione. Give contacting logitech a shot. Can't hurt...

I agree. You're almost comparing apples to oranges due to the core difference. Both running applications which can only utilize 2 cores, you have your 15% difference Both running applications which can utilize 4 cores, the i5 will pull ahead. Both running applications which can only utilize...

Can try a different mouse and keyboard. Also check for BIOS updates for Motherboard. It sounds like it's hardware related, could be keyboard or mouse causing a short, causing the computer to shut down

Did you double check how the board is mounted to the case, and all the spacers are properly on the case? I've seen "shorts" due to board installation, even happened to me on my 2nd rig build a long time ago!

Pixel XL, as in original Pixel XL?
