    I'm still running a 1055T and finally upgrading. I just picked up a 2700X with a Asus Prime X370 Pro for $199 for CPU and $20 for Mobo from MC - both new. However, I need to get that board flashed to use the chip - I will try through AMDs bootkit program. However, seeing that the 3600 is...

    Yay or nay: 1050t to i5 2500k

    So after seeing the i5 2500k deal, I felt the huge urge to pick it up. Now I'm thinking if the upgrade is worth it considering I need another mobo, and a full re-install. Benchmarks aside, is there a huge real-world difference between a 1055t and an i5 2500k to warrant the upgrade? Usage...

    Can't decide on TV: Sharp 46" or LG 47"

    I'm trying to decide on what TV to get. I'm not looking at low tier brands as I hear those aren't all that reliable (screens start to get vertical banding after a few months, blown caps...). That said, I am not looking to spend overly much either, around $550 - 600 for a 46". I found these two...

    How to ship a CPU or Ram?

    AMD 870 vs 880G Chipset?

    Just got my X6 and looking to get a board in the $110 area. The two chipsets that work out are the 870 and 880g (would prefer to stick to 800 series for USB3.0 and Sata3). Both will run an X6 natively which I need as well. The two boards I'm considering now are the MSI 870a-G54 (or the...

    AUX Power - 4pin vs 8pin

    For the AUX power connector, is there that much of a difference between a 4pin and 8pin board with regards to OCing? Looking to get a board for my 1055T but seems every ASUS I'm looking at comes with only a 4pin. Is it worth it to go for another board just to have the 8pin AUX?

    WTB AM3 Board (flashed for X6 support)

    Seeing as I just bought a 1055T and don't have an older AMD chip to flash the BIOS (and I don't want to shell out for an 890 board), I'm looking to buy an AM3 board in the $80-100 range that is flashed for X6 support (DDR3).

    ASUS M4A87TD Evo - X6

    C2D E6420 to 1055T

    Trying to find consistent benchmarks for these X6 chips is tough enough, let alone finding one that goes back to compare a C2D chip. So right now I have my E6420 running at either 2.8 or 3.2 depending on how hot it is in my room. How significant of a difference will an X6 be (hoping to hit...

    X6 Motherboard - out of the box

    Are there any motherboards in the $90 price range that are compatible out of the box without a BIOS update or it's too early to find one? I don't have an AMD chip so don't really feel like risking buying a board and then it needing a flash (noone I know has AMD either).

    7200.12 500GB vs Caviar Blue 500GB

    So I'm considering both a Caviar Black 640GB or a 7200.12 500MB (16MB). It seems as though the 7200.12 is a bit faster while the Caviar is more reliable. Which drive runs quieter? The space isn't the biggest issue as both will be more then enough for me. The Seagate will be $50, the Caviar...
