    Farewell Zen, Hello Ryzen: AMD’s Eight-Core CPU Runs At 3.4GHz+

    No any performance FIGURES. It doesn't sound right. If AMD couldn't or wouldn't show any real world performance numbers, the processor may not run well at all.

    It's about time. I would be building a new rig may be next year or in 2018. Rizen sounds pretty slick!

    EVGA Addresses GeForce GTX 1080 FTW PWM Temperature Problems

    ACX 3.0 cooling solution always looks incomplete to me because of their bad VRM cooling. When VRM is not cooled properly, the card will die a lot early! I will never buy any of these EVGA cards again. Many of the bad cards could be patched with some cheap cooling and then resold or reissued for...

    Asus ROG PG348Q 34-inch Curved G-Sync Monitor Review

    The design truly looks like a transformer!. I normally like only minimalist designs, but this one is doing it right in every aspects.

    Whats the fastest possible single-core CPU?

    The single core performance under single thread is likely 6700k, but it's just few % faster than 6850k or 6900k. It's about 6-7% faster than 4790k. But if you are pairing that with a Titan X, consider to get a processor with 6 or more cores because many games and application will use more than 6...

    Asus X99-E-10G WS Motherboard With 10 Gbit Ethernet Controller Makes NA Debut

    I would only build a system with this board with ECC memory and also a Xeon processor that supports ECC memory. But the total cost will like skyrocket to over $2000 with 32GB DDR4 ECC memory

    Is GTX 980 worth the upgrade from GTX 960

    Don't get GTX 980, which is fast but last generation. If you want to get a new card, get either GTX 1070 or 1060. 1060 beats GTX 980 in almost every game and is below $300. GTX 1070 delivers crazy performance at about $400. It won't go wring with either card.

    Everything Zen: AMD Presents New Microarchitecture At HotChips

    AMD don't you fail on us this time like what Bulldozer did. We need AMD to be ACTUALLY competitive in terms of performance against Intel's offerings.

    You Can 3D Print Parts For Your Asus Motherboard, And More

    I started building my own about 16 years ago. Asus did it. Who would know this could be done 10, 20, 30 years ago.

    PNY Joins GTX 1060 3GB Party With Single Entry

    Idiots buy this 3GB version when RX480 has 8GB and the full 1060 has 6GB.

    Installed GTX 1070 in my machine, won't boot!

    If both slots don't work, return it. And get another one. I would also consider ASUS Strix 1070, which has equally good design like G1. Both have insane cooling and also much better PCB designs than FE cards.
