    AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 Review

    I really want AMD to hit Nvidia hard but they don't care, they want to get the low and mid range market by maintaining the insane prices at the top end , which is Nvidia. Trust me this is what will happen with Rysen too. IT will compete with the low end of Intel too. It's not a genuine competition.

    Which memory should i keep for a 3930k ?

    @ Dark Antz I prefer low profile - low voltage because it is easier to reach inside tight m-atx boards and cases with push pull radiators and gigantic GPUs. I am not a big fan of hedgehogs too : )

    My home computer boots by itself every morning and my wife finds it spooky!

    You know that might make sense. I have to check it this weekend. It will be fun, I will watch my computer box waiting to start ... by itself ! I have a boiler that is on timer and it turns on at regular intervals. I can't remember what was my setting for loss of power.

    My home computer boots by itself every morning and my wife finds it spooky!

    I have 10 month old son! He needs a bit of training before he might be of help. I have checked all relative entries in the bios. I will have another look just in case i missed the wake up on Lan.
