    Question Eluktronics PA71HS-G, highest speed memory supported?

    My work has given me a laptop, Eluktronics branded PA71HS-G. I know that it has DDR4-2400 memory now, but I can't seem to find what the maximum speed it can use is. I know that it currently has 16 GB, and I have found models with this mother board that have up to 2x16 GB of 2400 installed...

    Is PowerColor any good?

    Probably a bit late, but I'd just like to add that they stiffed me on a rebate, and their customer service just gave me an automated response every time I tried to contact them. It's only $20 but the fact that they gave me a run-around trying to get me to give up makes me want to avoid them...

    New build: Well balanced GPU for i5-4690K? A GTX 960?

    Thank you very much for the reassurance. Thinking of what you said, for now maybe I'll just put in the new motherboard, processor and memory. It seems like they may be decently matched (for anyone not wanting to back track, this would mean building with CPU: i5-4690K, GPU: HD-7950 3GB, RAM:2x4GB...

    New build: Well balanced GPU for i5-4690K? A GTX 960?

    So I've recently moved to Palo Alto, and though I don't get a lot of time for gaming being near a fry's has given me a nudge to upgrade my 5 year old PC (except the GPU which is 2 years old). I saw a good deal on a i5-4690K, and since that was Tom's recommendation for high end but before the...
