Someone finally makes an interesting color PCB and it's $300? Ridiculous. Smart marketing? Yes. Would I every buy it? No, on principle.
Yeah the price is ridiculous. If I did upgrade to Skylake (not likely but if it happens) I would either go for that motherboard or I would go for the Gigabyte GA-Z170-Gaming 7 or the EVGA Z170 FTW. Those would be my alternate choices.
I say a really ricey Civic today... It had a Medium-ish spoiler with TWO fart pipes... and skirts and front and rear bumper. Also a really bad tint job that was showing bubbles. Oh, did I mention the Racing Stripes. +30 HP RIGHT THERE.
I saw A tesla, not sure if it was a P85D or not.
There was also an Audi(a8, wasn't paying attention) that had blacked RIMs and the red parts of the performance thing were black as well. The exhaust tips.... So large... Ruined it... The rims were something not stock
I lied actually. I haven't bought it yet, but I am going to go get it tomorrow or day after tomorrow. But once I mentioned "Can I use some software to check if anything is pirated", he wrote 4 messages to me saying it wasn't. Hahahah
7 passes overnight... No faults found... I think that something is in the background that doesn't show up in Task Manager because on the desktop with only windows on, I am at 40-50% RAM usage.... I'm booting to safe mode now to see.
Minion updated to Win10 yesterday evening. I turned off all the "report to Microsoft" stuff, and I don't use a Microsoft account. I will review the RPS article to make sure I've turned off any other spying as well.
I'm going to try to finish testing on two boards this weekend (parts of both are done) and write up at least one of them.
Newegg has a MSI GTX750Ti for $110; $90 if you play the rebate game (and win).
