Math. It's hard? .. Yeah, he may have said volumes need to be 250 percent higher. I don't know. But they don't have to. And Tom´s hardware show know that. For 12 to become 30 you need 18 more. Conveniently enough 18 is 1 1/2 as much as 12. Or 150% as much. Which mean it's very easy to figure...

@GIRORO: I don't think it will include any hardware fixes for Meltdown and Spectre. Cascade Lake-X is supposed to have some but that's end of the year stuff. Maybe if the main-stream platform get a new update in say October or so it may contain it but I'd assume it's too early for something like...

Hotaru251: If it's soldered cooling is no problem. It's no problem to cool the delided chips. An 8700K at 5 GHz is great competition against the 2700X and I'd say the better deal in performance. However at $480 if that would be the case rather than at ~the same price point as the 8700K it's...

The founders edition is stupid so why do they even make that crap. Also 1170 is likely more the teir I should have buy waiting is boring. The SEK is weak and they will charge even more than before. Terrible. At 2ish dollar per AMD share I tried to buy just for 4000 SEK but as usually just a bit...

Even with the patches for Meltdown and Spectre and in the case of AMD the Spectre v2 fix the 8700K is still far ahead in games as would the 8600K also be. That's also true for other single-threaded tasks whereas the 2700X is faster in some multi-threaded ones. And that's including with faster...

The launch price of the GTX 1060 3 GB was $199 I think and $350 by far isn't a normal price for it it's an inflated price due to mining and graphics card shortages potentially because the sellers want it that way (and because new cards is coming.) The profits has been taken by the retails but...

Depends in if you need it now and how much it would affect you.

My understanding is that Cascade Lake-X should be fine. Theres rumors/leaked models of Cannon lake and Ice lake but not the desktop parts AFAIK. As such I don't know if they will release soon or at all and neither if maybe they will run on Z370 at all or not. Intel have know about the bug for...

Was the 1.42 volt with MCE on? Had you turned on XMP? I wouldn't trust the motherboards on auto at all. XMP on change SA and VCCIO voltages without saying anything. Simple changing RAM frequency got way higher voltage on RAM on an ASUS board too. Complete grbage for all I care. I don't want a...

Does removing the battery work just as well or is there any chance that won't clear the BIOS?

Hard to know whatever this mean you'll have enough time to actually fill the disc before it's dead or what's it will just die even faster but at-least you hadn't filled it up yet!

Sorry for hi-jacking your thread. Basically writing because I googled on this kit and overclocking and ended up here and since G.Skill was around I kinda want to ask. Then again if I made my own thread maybe I'd have just the same luck?

For Optane at-least officially you can only use it for the boot drive. And maybe just SATA drives at that, at-least they only recommend it with SATA drives. So NVMe SSD + Optane = No. SATA SSD + Optane as boot drive and then whatever else elsewhere you may not want to do either, likely very...
