    Question GPU downclocks to 200-400 mhz for a few seconds after 5 minutes in-game

    Are you sure the fans work? Do they work when they should? Maybe they are for some reason on unrealistically quiet fan curves. Are the vents perhaps obstructed? Then again, it could also be a driver issue. I had an issue with the Ryzen in my laptop getting stuck at 380 MHz if the laptop had at...

    Intel Hyper-Threading Accused of Being a Security Threat

    "not properly documenting which operating systems are supposed to do to mitigate these bugs" You mean what, not which.

    Microsoft Surface Go First Impressions: Great Screen, Short Battery Life

    Unless Niantic have reversed their position to not support x86 devices (which they may have, but it's not a significant slice of the Android market), no PoGo for Surface. Also it might not support external GPS receivers (I know that Ingress that preceded PoGo wouldn't work with external GPS...

    Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (2018) Review: Actually for Pros

    It doesn't throttle because it doesn't have an i9, and even with the current CPU it's close. "The CPU ran at an average temperature of 87 degrees Celsius (188.6 degrees Fahrenheit)."

    Sapphire Unveils FS-FP5V Motherboard With AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 APU

    EMERALDwhatever, the Sapphire board has two gigabit Ethernet connectors and a slot for wifi/bt. Your ITX solution would quite likely lose at least one of those, have more parts, not run on just 12V... This doesn't compete in the desktop market because the use case is different. BTW, a single...

    Oculus Drops Support for Windows 7 & 8.1

    Funny, dislikes by people who don't get that stability is a good thing. I'm not switching to Windows 10 until Microsoft manages to not screw up their updates for a reasonable period (let's say 18 months).

    96-Layer, QLC, SLC... Maxio Shows Off All The New Flash And A Couple Controllers

    @T.S.Wiacek, the results are bus limited. You can't cram more than ~560 MB/s through SATA3 regardless of how fast the memory is.

    At Computex, Intel Demos A 28-Core Processor Clocked At 5GHz

    Add 20% to 8700 and you don't get 9000, you get 10440. And since it is what it is probably cost even more.

    is psu 450w good enough for gtx 1060?

    Considering a 1070 is ~150W (and a 1060 would be lower) as long as the PSU has the necessary connectors it should be enough.
