The last motherboard bought had issues with two mvme drives. I put an old sata ssd in it and then it was working fine. I replaced the motherboard and than the second drive I bought is working fine. Widows would not reactive and I did associate it with my account. I had to call them. I bought a...

I have all the parts for my youngest son's new gaming computer. I was in about the same boat choosing between the 2600 vs. the 3600. I got him the 3600 because it's the one I wanted. He might not really notice the difference.

They have the 7600k at $215 too.

With the kind of VRM and cooling that is needed for 4.1 I doubt many Ryzen 7 ITX systems will be clocking that high, maybe not even with a Ryzen 5. A 600 watt PSU is probably going to be enough anyway.

An overclocked Ryzen can consume near 300w. http://www.techspot.com/review/1345-amd-ryzen-7-1800x-1700x/page6.html Well that is total system with the GPU at idle. Total system at idle is under 70w so the CPU is probably using around 250 watts.

350d is nice, but it is big for a matx.

For 1080p a RX 480 is the best price new now, but if size maters a GTX 1060 will fit in tighter spaces.

My Tforce6100 939 was really good back in the day. My oldest son has had a Biostar Z87 and 4670k overclocked since the Christmas after Haswell came out, still solid. Their higher end stuff is not bad. Their low end stuff is a step up from ECS.

The only problem I had with my Skylake build was sometimes it would freeze playing Netflix or Amazon Prime videos. Every thing stock. It did it with Intel video and GTX 970. I kept hoping driver updates would fix it. But no. It was the third or fourth BIOS update that fixed it. It was an Asrock...

Asus say 80% 5.0 stable with AVX offset at 4.8. http://edgeup.asus.com/2017/01/31/kaby-lake-overclocking-guide/

I edited. And no I don't. I don't have the monitor or the GPU for a 5 ghz 7700k, yet. But I can get into BIOS and change things pretty quick to get it to do what I want to it do. My Noctua is near silent, always, even as old as it is. I wish it was not so ugly. But I still love it.

I'm using a 10 year old Noctua and my 7700K works well at 5ghz, even a little over. It is not delided. Handbreak will push temps into the high 80's. [email protected] is solid. I've been able to bench at 5050mhz with a tick on the BCLK. It does 4.8ghz with 1.25v. With a better cooler I bet 5.1 could be...

It doesn't even have tabs on that side, it hooks in and tabs on the top. Design fail by Asus. I'm not going to return it. I haven't done the rebate yet but I'd still get charged the $60 for Doom. I'm thinking of getting another similar card with out the back plate for crossfire, trading it or...

Damn back plate hits my memory slots. I had use the other slot. I guess 8x is not that big of deal anyway?

EFI list the BPX at M1 and I have a spinner that is listed as P1. Looking forward to some review tomorrow!

I'm not using m2 sata but pcie. The only pcie 4x slots on it are the 2 m2 slots. There are also two 1x slots (and the 2 gpu slots that are direct to the cpu.) I don't think it even uses all of the pcie lines fron the Z270, but there is also the onboard wifi/bluetooth and usb 3.1.

Asus Strix 270G. It's a $200 board.

I cloned mine and it works good, but my install was not very old. I probably should have done a fresh install because I had so little to loose at the time.

I don't think my board does any of that (I have read the manual,) but it's Z270 and matx. It will do nvme raid too. But I only have a single m2 card for now and use only 3 of the sata ports. The BPX benchmarks very well. I only want to raid it for more space but added speed is a bonus.

Nothing is stopping them adding a M2 (or two) off the south bridge, it's just it has to share those four lines with many other devices.

Zen has more I/O on die but the south bridge connection is just 4 pcie lanes. vs z270 with DMI 3.0 connection the SB.

Maybe they just would like tests of the south bridge. I know I would like to see that. What is better, four PCIe lanes or DMI 3.0? I'm sure there is more to bring up for a fair review. This is a new platform, not just a CPU.

MIcrocenter has the 6900k for $999!

Some of this non volatile memory will be in DIMM slots. It will be at speeds unlike any PCIe slot card. The memory controller probably is different for something like that. It would be nice if it could accommodate terabytes of data. SSDs would be obsolete. For now it probably is limited to the...

Odd the screens have different language, font and theme set? Perhaps even clocks. The only thing that suggests it is the same machine is that it's 12 threads. 2529/10914 for my 7700k maxed out on air.

The only way to get that cheap is an amp board and some bookshelf speakers, no remote or Bluetooth. http://www.parts-express.com/t-amp-tripath-ta2024-2-x-15w-audio-digital-amplifier-board--320-600 Dig up a decent 12 volt power brick and that thing will surprise you. Better and less DIY...

The Aorus Z270X-gaming 5 uses them all.

I don't understand what your saying. PCIe lanes are not just for video, and the CPU direct lanes must have lower latency. If all lanes were not supported something would not work. I don't have a diagram showing how many lanes go to what, but with the two PCIe 1x slots, two M.2 SATA /PCIE 3.0...

On the Strix only the direct to CPU lanes are used for the video card slots, so it's one x16 or two x8. The other lanes are for the other slots and onboard devices.

No overclocked benchmark results? o_O

Notice both 6th and 7th have DMI 3.0 that connects the chipset. I've been looking at most of them and I've never seen anything mentioned about less than full support. I'll have a Asus Strix Z270G tomorrow. I'm going to use my i5 6500 in it. This is what the Asus page says: No asterisk there...

7 series adds nothing but better video decode. Even the higher memory speeds are chipset dependent. The extra PCIe lanes are through the DMI access of the chipset. vs It does look like 6xxx are locked to 2133mhz memory on B250.

I'm not spending $500 on a CPU. If there is something viable in the $200 range I might build a rig just for fun. I don't need an upgrade.

i5 6500 (turbo at 3.3 ghz) 1:46.96

The just need to sell a code and email it, then it's real goods outside of the app .

There are a lot of machines that lack driver support for 10.

I pretty much gave up on Amazon after last black Friday. It was too close to Christmas by the time they shipped some of my order. I can order elsewhere for the same prices and they will ship in a day or two.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128844 This one has the on board header. I'm not sure where to get the output plate but is as simple as a RCA jack. This one probably works, if you could get one...

Some were arcade games. The list started too soon. And I guess that's way most of the C-64 games are missing. PC sucked back then. I think Encounter was the first 3D (home computer) game I played. It was not for PC.

Games like Pac-Man, Super Mario and Sonic were not important? Mainstream platformer games made the industry.
