Nice. So I recommended a solid board to those who asked for a list recently.

Fatal1ty would want this.

Probably, though timing alterations. We leave advanced timings in automatic mode.

is the gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3 review coming ?

Gigabyte hasn't sent one yet.

is it just me or does skylake bring just a microscopic advance to the table aka just a die shrink and nothing else?i can swear it's like the switch from pentium2 at 400mhz to pentium 3 at 400mhz . which basically only added SSE instructions to the CPU.

can't wait for toms to switch OS testing to Win10 and their test PC's shut down because of a MS auto update after only being 10 minutes to 4 hours into testing.

i had to uninstall win10 just because it was interfering with gaming, nameley at specific times i could not have it shut down for an update no matter what despite running for days. win10 is pure b.s for gaming vista 2.0 is a better name for it.

I think the biggest improvement is thermal dispersion, even Devil's Canyon had trouble there. Of course this only matters if you're overclocking 😀
