I am seriously annoyed by Intel at this moment. In january I bought the latest and greatest 7700k and now all this secrecy about the next gen requiring a new motherboard makes me think LGA1151 wont be supported. On the other hand, AMD has confirmed AM4 compatibility for several years. If Intel...

Thank you, guysfor taking the time to make a recomnedation. I researched the Ultra gaming and ended up ordering the Aorus Gaming K5 above the Ultra gaming and at this point I cant even remember the difference between the two. I did make a spreadsheet and there was SOMETHING that standed out in...

I wanted to keep it closer to 150USD. My current options are the following: 1.-Asrock Z270 Extreme4 @ 168USD. 2.-MSI Gaming Pro Carbon @ 175USD minus 10usd rebate. 3.- Gigabyte Aorus Z270x Ultra Gaming at 170USD. I am upgrading from a B150M mortar, only beacause I need a home NAS and I...

Something else. I have tried a few things. I just reinstalled a fresh copy of windows in my 3.5" 2TB HDD. I reinstalled Battlefield 1 and I will install Rise of the Tomb raider to see if I get better performance. My next step is going to be adding another RAM and if it doesnt help I can be...

I have bought and install several games, and from the beginning Ive noticed that there is a big difference between the benchmarks that you see everywhere online and the results I am getting from my system. I am using an EVGA 600watts PSU, rated 80+. The only thing I am troubled is about my...
