    GA-Z170-Gaming K3-EU F22 BIOS - Lower Maximum OC

    I've had my sig system for about a year now. When I first got it, the CPU (6600K) could reliably reach 4.4GHz without a significant amount of Vcore (It might have gone higher if I'd pushed, but it was 'good enough' and didn't run too hot. The XMP profile (3200 16-18-18-38) on my DIMMS (Corsair...

    Big Ransomware Outbreak Today - Be Vigilant

    Obviously it's still serious even if it were just one hospital affected, but given the scale of the NHS it seems like it's a relatively small number of machines infected. That said it's still impacting the whole service because clean systems have been locked down until they can be sure they are...

    Actual Number Of Stolen Yahoo Accounts Could Be Over 1 Billion

    I think at this point it's safer to say that the total number of compromised yahoo accounts is 'all of them'. My ISP uses Yahoo to run the backend on their mail system and have advised me to change passwords on my main and sub-accounts. Annoyingly the sub accounts each need their own, non-isp...

    Chinese Companies Threaten To Fire Workers Who Buy iPhone 7

    If China is so opposed to foreign things entering the country, perhaps they should build a wall... And make the Mongolians pay for it!

    Yahoo Confirms Massive Data Breach 500M Users Affected

    Yeah, I used to have a BT Yahoo! account (technicaly I still do but I don't use it), but my current ISP, Sky, uses Yahoo for their mail system too. Gonna have to ask them about this.

    Ctrl+Alt+Del Brass Knuckles?

    So I guess this is for those times you have a PEBKAC error and you need to turn it off and on again?

    Any important Windows tweaks out there ?

    Like I said, I've only ever seen minimal benefit from tweaking, If I can maintain 'fresh' performance, that's enough for me. I'm not knocking you for wanting to wring every last bit of performance out - this is [H] afterall - its just that in the past, there were lots of little tweaks that...

    UAC won't leave me alone

    But doesn't that still trigger UAC prompts? It's possible it needs admin for something else, like storing variables in the registry, but if all it wants is to write to program files, then having the installation folder at full permissions for a standard user would mean you could run it as such...

    UAC won't leave me alone

    I don't know about the webcam, but the accounting package may just want to be able to edit files in its installation directory, try installing it somewhere other than "C:\program files (x86)" or editing the permissions for just that programs folder to give your user account full control of it.

    Any important Windows tweaks out there ?

    I'd add - if it becomes too slow Re-install it and repeat step 2, if that doesn't work then buy new hardware... I always used to try and tweak each new Windows Install to perfection, but over time it felt like I was just making it take longer to set up without much benefit (and actualy...

    iPhone Upgrade Program Members Sue Apple

    I'm shocked... SHOCKED! Apple doesn't have a binding arbitration clause to avoid class actions? On the actual topic, the whole program doesn't seem like good value for money, but I guess it depends on how much you value your time, and the convenience of not having to sell your old device...

    WTHDIJS Video of the Day

    If there's space to pre-fab components there are ways of quickly replacing a structure without compromising quality. For example here we replaced a railway embankment under a major line with a bridge, with just 48 hours of disruption, not as impressive as 24hrs, but it has a standard 120 year...

    Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Specifications Leaked

    I know, but I still can't help be curious.

    John McAfee He Can't Call His Company 'John McAfee'

    He could change the name to Mcrappy, everyone wins. It's different enough to avoid the lawsuits and customers know what they're getting.
