Thanks, for nothing.

Too big is a good problem to have. But it really is slightly too big. 27" is probably the best. Unlike you, i have never regretted purchasing this monitor (or a VA panel in any case). There was nothing better to be found unless i raised my budget 2x. The nits issue never came up for me. My...

A 13/14th generation i9 is a red flag. Those i9 and i7 CPUs are sometimes unstable. Yours may work fine but there is a high risk of problems. I wouldn't consider anything more powerfull than a 13/14600K. If that's not enough power, consider AMD's lineup or wait until the 15th gen. Also, the...

I played Fallout 3 on a 3570K with NO GPU. It lagged a bit in the final battle but it was playable. NV is not much more demanding than 3, so... :) I think you're good. Also, yeah Fallout 3 is good. I didn't like that there were many unfinished side quests, and a few of the off the beaten track...

It kinda is $80 faster. In the long run, it will not become outdated as early as the 12600K. The performance jump isn't huge between them (and the 14600K has next to nothing on the 13600K), but it's worth paying less than hundred bucks for. IF you're going to have that PC for a long time at...

3 year warranty is a red flag. 7-10 year warranty is offered for reliable PSUs.

Imo, it's still good. But if you need the extra performance then you need the extra performance. I have the 13600K and it's been very sweet for me. On paper it is much stronger than the 11700K, but in practise this only shows in some workloads. And even then the difference might be pretty...

Late reply, sorry. These days most motherboard vendors ship a board that has a BIOS feature that will automatically offer to install "support" software once Windows has been installed. Doesn't affect Linux and of course the BIOS setting can be toggled off. Most people installing Windows will...

Good article. Tells me what i need to know about the cooler and the test setup. Don't know why people complain.

Slash's awesome autobiography sheds some light on those issues. It wasn't just support bands. Ironically, one of the bands that asked "Hey, where's your singer?" was Aerosmith. I think Axl was flying higher than most, and i don't mean the drugs. Aerosmith nearly broke up several times during...

What year was this? Maybe in retrospect, Axl Rose refusing to come on stage until he was ready was not as arrogant as we thought...

Yeah but you're not the type to just trust the automated process and click "next" and "i accept" on everything without reading and thinking. Motherboard vendors are not as aggressive when it comes to BIOS updates, because they know those are risky. I don't think many updates are issued in one...

Good CPU for those upgrading from an older AMD platform? Or even an Intel one for that matter. Anyone with a 5-7 year old machine who wants to keep up with the times will not find this dissapointing. Gen on gen being dissapointing? Who upgrades gen on gen?

Good. He should be in jail. Bout fricken time too. He made a fortune illegaly and laundered money so ef him. He's been living it up long enough anyway. But the copyright industry did help create people like him in the first place. And that crime will go unpunished. It's all good if the...

Is Geekbench relevant? Also, as far as gaming performance is concerned, the average is not always a good indicator of performance. Sometimes one game will run poorly on a AMD chip or will not like one of Nvidia, AMD, or Intel graphics. So if it's a very important game, don't look at numbers...
