    New Cold Boot Attacks Leave Nearly All Laptops Susceptible to Hacks

    Wouldn't the tpm key be held in ram though to allow boot? Thus you could forceable pass it to unlock bitlocker drives. I think what they are saying is the full defense is turn off sleep and only allow hibernate. Plus force bitlocker to require a startup pin/code.

    Intel Can't Supply 14nm Xeons, HPE Directly Recommends AMD EPYC

    Dell is having shortages on some 6000 series xenon's too. Can't get a repair on a dead on arrival pc.

    The SA forums point to it being Nokia with a failed 5g expansion. That could make sense.

    SemiAccurate Teases 10nm Failure Fallout

    What would HP have being manufactured there at 10nm? Cisco has long been an Intel foundry user and with the shift from hardware tied network equipment to more a software license a stumble could be bad there too. They're $200b market cap and $48b revenue though.

    heat dissipation for 8350

    I have the coolermaster tx3 which is $15 after rebate on a amd fx8350 and run at 4.5GHz.

    Some general CPU advice needed

    That asus board looks solid with the rebate. Good find! Just avoid the msi boards if you overclock, their vrm's like to explode since they don't handle a lot of extra power than am3+ spec.

    Some general CPU advice needed

    Don't discount the 970 chips. Unless you need 3 or more 16x pcie they are good boards for a bit cheaper. I'd get the 8 core amd fx over the 6 core imo. Gigabyte 970 ud3 for $110

    Have these AMD issues been resolved?

    Flickering browsing I don't get but is usually related to flash player hardware acceleration being crappy.

    2x Saphire 6870's

    Hello, I am looking to sell my two saphire 6870's. They have worked great in crossfire but with BF4 I'm looking to upgrade since the ram could be limiting at higher resolutions. For someone not needing to play BF4 at high res or older games it would be a great upgrade. These were both...

    Great Gaming on AMD

    I really like my 8350. It looks like the next upgrade is on schedule for the end of the year so hopefully we'll see another amd chip that is decent q1 2014

    Doing a side-grade, need some advice on GPUs

    I have an 8350 at 4.5GHz with two 6870's, runs really well in bf3. I had a fx4170 at 4.4GHz prior and didn't have enough cpu for it till upgrading. 6870's are going for $90-100 used it seems.

    Very Cool: AM3+ Opterons on 760G boards.

    Don't typically amd desktop vs server processors usually have all the same features? It isn't like intel with vpro or anything?

    AMD, thank you for AM3+

    I know intel is better but I can't ever justify their motherboard upgrade process. Look at 775 and how many mobo chipsets there were or 478. I will keep buying amd due to the support of A, AM2, AM3+. I've had 7, first socket A ever, 754, am2+, am3+, and will keep buying as long as I can. I...

    AMD which one?

    The FM2 boards are going to be out with processors next month. Probably worth waiting and getting one of those?

    Why aren't there any high end AMD CPUs?

    I've always built amd machines, but a huge issue was their motherboards back then. The nforce boards were finally built well enough that some people would switch over but were still pretty bad at times. Let's not forget socket 754 being almost dead upon arrival and then am2 not offering much...

    Are Bulldozers this terrible or do I have a bad motherboard?

    I'd honestly try running half the ram and if it reboots try the other half. It is going to be something stupid like that I bet.

    Are Bulldozers this terrible or do I have a bad motherboard?

    That motherboard has 4+1 power phases. Look for something with 8+2. The asus you linked is 6+2. I'd go up one step on the asus to get 8+2, I know the gigabyte ud5 990fx I got is 8+2 also.

    Bad SATA Controller - Recovery help

    Do you need this system up or data off it? It seems like it would be better getting a newer motherboard and possibly cpu than waste money on an old used motherboard. You could also virtualize it possibly if you have another system and run it in there and get what you need.

    P67 will support Ivybridge

    I know it isn't an issue now but longer term if they allow you to use ivy bridge in the board, you could be using the same setup for 2 years easy. If you ran two mid to higher end gpu's in crossfire/sli 2 years from now it may be an issue. Thinking just gtx260t to gtx580 jump in performance in...

    If they had pcie 3.0 on sandy bridge the 22 pcie lanes wouldnt bother me so much

    Yup...another one of those :/

    I have a 6870 with a athlon II 620 @3.3 and it seems fine. In bad company 2 the cpu is at 90% cpu usage at 1920x1200. I'd wait and look into the am3+ socket possibly mid summer. The difference between a 3.2GHz athlon II and even a 3.6GHz phenom II isn't huge tbh. Just get the videocard and...

    EVGA blown caps!

    I had two of the 6200's fail on me from evga. They were bought a few months before the lifetime warranty required you to register. I emailed evga's tech support 3 times with no response. After that I have refused to buy from them. The cards were roughly 3 years old at the time and I didn't...
