Ummm, 8? Isn't that pretty overkill? They aren't even that different. You'd think they could've done a low profile one or a single slot card to add some flavor.

Did it have any sort of thermal throttling occur? These pcie m.2 drives can get pretty hot.

There's a GT 720 on Newegg for $50. I don't understand the need for these.

Assuming you've had other speakers, how does it compare? The other speakers I've looked at are the Genius SP-HF1800A http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836110053 which is $70 so pretty cost comparative. Those speakers are pretty huge though so while they may make bigger sound...

So, I have an ultra-wide monitor. I've been looking at speakers as well but ran across the Vizio 29" soundbar which has great reviews. Kind of a different idea but seems like it would work well to just sit right under the monitor. Seems like it'd have good stereo sound with that much separation...

..... wait, usb 2.0 on a type c connection? Not sure if you're serious or if it's a bad joke.

VSR seems interesting. I'm hoping it will support ultra-wide resolutions as well. Be fun to try out on games that you can get super high framerates on.

This is the simple approach to building a better core. Use 3 groups of cores that are only good for one thing and then switch between them. I'm not saying it won't/doesn't work, but it isn't a very elegant solution. Creating a more flexible core that knows when to power up, power down, idle etc...

I've seen lists of freesync compatible monitors but they don't include the LG 25UM55-P despite it supporting displayport 1.2a. I'm looking to upgrade to the r9 290x or gtx 970 which is a difficult decision but if I know I can use freesync with the 290x then that makes things easier. As far as I...

Regardless of if you're going to buy the r9 300 series card or not you should silll wait. Pricing will drop afterwards by both AMD and Nvidia to keep their older cards selling well. I'm torn between the 290X, GTX 970 and maybe even a 300 series card. All depends on how much prices drop and what...

@joaompp The CPU is better, battery is larger(user replaceable too) and should last longer due to the new Amprius tech in it, it has a smaller footprint, 2 microSD cards, fingerprint reader, IR blaster, dedicated camera button, 21mp rear and 12mp front cameras both with OIS. The list goes on...

Why is that the cpuworld website give the single threaded performance to the q6600 but passmark says the fx6100 is better at both multi and single threaded? http://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=257&cmp[]=1038

It looks like the fx6100 kills any threaded but don't games mostly need single thread performance? Is the little whatever the q6600 matter at all? I'm not playing the latest and greatest. The craziest I get off CIC 5 and Skyrim. Other than that mostly stuff like Minecraft and the fallout games.

A friend of mine just gave me a computer that had been damaged while shipping. I figured out it was the motherboard that broke so now I can salvage a good chunk of the pc including the fx-6100 inside. I currently have a q6600. Would it be worth it to buy an AM3+ motherboard and use that or stick...
