    News Third-Gen Ryzen Not Fully Backward Compatible, X570 Chipset Doesn't Support First-Gen Models, AMD Explains

    This is why I feel its more imperative then ever to make sure your board is high enough tier built with overkill VRM's so that your motherboard maker doesn't have an excuse to not support it when a new class of CPU is released. That's why my B350 will be replaced with a X570, something like the...

    News Singaporean Retailer Lists Purported Ryzen 3000 Pricing

    I for one have been buying flag ship processors for at least three decades now, and my last major CPU purchase was a 6 core Xeon at MUCH higher cost than what AMD is asking. If this leak is real I am putting a stop to that this year. I will be getting that 3850X on day 1, no and's if's or but's...

    People Are Mad That Google May Kill Chrome Ad Blockers

    Wow, I guess its time to go back to Firefox then. I have been with Chrome since day 1 of its beta release, but now it looks like Firefox will become the #1 browser again. Fine by me.

    Gigabyte M.2 PCIe Riser Cards Take Storage Performance to New Level

    No mention of the need for Bifurcation requirement? Without PCIe port bifurcation enabled in the BIOS, either hidden or via switch, the Motherboard and OS will have no clue what to do with an adapter such as that. PCIe was designed for one device per slot regardless how many lanes it has. PCIe...

    Samsung SM961 ssd not recognised

    For everyone having issues with their BIOS or UEFI not recognizing their new M.2 NVMe SSD's, you have another option that usually works great. Either DUET or Clover UEFI bootloaders, booted from USB. My Motherboard is a old 2010 Asus x58, and I use Clover. I installed clover to a fast SanDisk...

    Personally I hope he comes back eventually, just like Steve Jobs finally did for Apple all those years ago.

    Should I accept an open box motherboard from Newegg?

    On the 18th of December I purchased a new Asus motherboard (A88X-Pro) and a new AMD APU (A10-7850K) for my little brother Josh who plans on building a new PC when his tax check comes in next month. The new items arrived the last week of December, but I have no spare anything to test said parts...

    Can a AMD Radeon 7750 work in a Optiplex 755 sff?? please help

    The low profile 7750 only needs about 45-55 watts or so. If your SFF Dell has the high efficiency 275 watt PSU, then it will probably work great.

    Microsoft CEO Wants One OS To Rule Them All

    All that matters to me is whether or not Windows is smart enough to adjust its GUI to suit the environment it is installed on. If you have a non-touch 24" or larger Screen, then it should be smart enough to know to setup the GUI similar to Windows 7 and be ready to play games or do graphical...

    OK, well quick update. I was worried that I would have to make a very long trip just to fix this, but apparently he managed to find Safe Mode, got into Windows and managed to get it set back to 60hz. Now its working fine. He was not aware the Native resolution was going to change, but I do not...
