I've done some testing and experimentation regarding this. First and foremost I had to do a resent clean reinstall of Win7U/64/sp1 and after fully updated (sans Win10 adware and self-installers). I had 32GB (4x8GB) installed in a dual-channel board. Type of RAM and MB is irrelevant at this...

Stumbled on this thread by pure chance and I see a great deal of generalization/misinformation. 1; The 9590, 9370, 8350, 8320, and all other x3xx FX CPUs are effectively the same architecture. The difference is the binning process they are certified by. All of these CPUs are printed on the same...

@Zepid - Your only point is aggressive core parking which can EASILY be disabled with a registry edit? /facepalm Here's a more impressive point: Highly trained/skilled/successful IT, engineers, powerusers, and software developers despise Win8 for the simple fact that Microsoft destroyed or...

Thankfully NCIX is a Canadian store and will ship to the US. We're not deprived of this wonderful AIO LCS. That aside, I'm a system builder and have been using various Asetek OEM AIO in client builds. That stopped today and I'll be using them all for batting practice. I don't care if I'm out...

I facepalmed so hard at this... Did you even bother testing any of this with Virtual Memory disabled? You know, that function of the OS that writes extended RAM data to the HDD/SSD as needed? Disabling that will prevent ALL aspects of having less RAM effecting your HDD/SSD in the slightest...

I can see why there's heat build-up in the top GPU near the IO bracket. And the reviewer is correct in his assumption: It's a cyclonic vacume. First, you have a sideways-jetison of heated air from the heatsink. Provided the fans are slightly angled to push slightly more air away from the...

I have my doubts these are the real specs, just as I doubt that image. Stream Processor counts haven't changed like that ever. It's gone: 320, 320, 800, 1600, 1536(likely why the 6k series failed), and finally the obvious 2048. An insignificant increase of 256 (1/8th) wouldn't amount to more...

Why the hell would anyone even presume AMD would skip a series moniker? It's just a number, why would they give a flying frak? The only series moniker they skipped was any potential HD3000 series since they had intended to use odd-numbered series for mobile platforms, but they were still...

KamabPutting them in RAID0 doubles your chance of data failure, aka either drive fails and you probably lose everything. This isn't true at all, failure chance doesn't work like that: IE; compounding percentages. Yes the chance of failure is higher, but the chance of failure for a RAID 0 of SSDs...
