This could be good or really, REALLY bad for PC market... Doubt Samsung really cares about that segment...

Quality Control problem, that is!!!!!
The story:
Earlier this month, my 3yr old Thermaltake 800W PSU died. It was a refurb purchase from Microcenter. I figured I got my moneys worth, is it was a good price (~$80 refurb) and I did beat the hell out of it (6 months of 24/7 *coin mining with...
Coinmarket.io has taken a dump on all the folks using it, and with it, it looks like there has been a lot of coins being shifted around without "owners" knowledge...
This was definitely a much smaller operation than Gox, but they supported (when opened) a lot of new and obscure "crap-coins"...
Old friend has an AIW X1900 in his PC (e7200 CPU Core Duo) and he wanted to upgrade to something a bit faster. I recommended AMD A10-6800k. Will the A10's GPU be faster in general than a dedicated, but old-school x1900? He mostly plays flash based games on facebook, and the current CPU is...
I'm currently rocking 3570k @4.5GHz with 7950 in my gaming rig. I recently downloaded BF4 Beta and have been playing it a bit here and there. I get generally very good performance, with occasional "rubber-bending" which is most likely server side network issues. BF4 is definitely taxing all 4...

Just a quick and dirty "FYI" (I'll do more in-depth benches later) but I just swapped out my 7870 to a 7950 (both Gigabyte Windforce) and can easily run 4xMSAA in BF3 at constant 60fps... With 7870 (OCed to 1200/1400) I had to bump MSAA down to 2x and was still getting dips below 60 (45~55fps...

Remember walking by it at Fry's couple yrs ago when they were still ~$250... Too rich for my blood then.. But hey, for $80 now it's gonna replace my WD Caviar Black...;)
I know this is [H] and most of you have 7950's or 70's, but I'd like to dedicate this to my new Gigabyte 7870OC that I recently purchased for a mere $200 (after tax and $20 rebate) from my local Microcenter's "open box" sales.I know this is [H] and most of you have 7950's or 70's, but I'd like...
Blah, blah , blah $399 to $599 < screw that noise !!!!

No details on what cooling was used. Probably LN, especially with that kind of Vcore...:eek:
Also, it's supposedly in retail channels in China and Russia....:confused:
Core i7 3700S 65W almost %30 faster then its predecessor (i7 2600S)

Definitely excited about this one... More powa (Mhz) for less powa (W)... WIN!
..... but at Microcenter only, so most of you are SOL = > :(
Basically you can have one of the several 970 mobos for free... For extra $10~20 you can find a 990X board. So let's say you get that FX8120 for $200, and a GA-990FXA-UD3 for extra $30 ($20 after MIR), and you have yourself a...
Well, it's kind of a Duuuuuhhhh news, but Fud (I know...) is reporting some "rumblings" from "Far East" on the Ivy Bridge overclocking...
No specific numbers, but I don't think it's hard to imagine an easy 5GHz + on these puppies... This will be my next CPU... It's 5"G" man, better than 4"G"...;)
I guess they think labeling unlocked Llanos with "K" designation will fool people into thinking: "Wow, it's just like Intel's naming so it's gotto be goooood"...:rolleyes:
What's your take? Good idea, or another AMD marketing dept brain-fart...?

Hi there...
Quick Q: I got a Galaxy 460GTX with 768M, and I wanted to purchase another Galaxy card to SLI for BF3, but my local store only carries 1024M versions now. Can I still SLI them, and if so, is there gonna be any side effects to having uneven VRAM ammounts?

Now give us the prices...:eek:
$150 for unlocked, dual core SB!!!
This this will most likely OC past 4Ghz with stock HS with no issues... If actually released, this thing will sell out like crazy, especially at Microcenter with their $99 CPU special....:eek: :eek: :eek: Poor AMD....:mad:
Not all of them.... According to the sales guy, they got a drop shipment of 4100 and 6100's yesterday. 8120, and 8150's were supposed to be "drop shipped" today. This is from MC in Overland Park, KS:

You got to admit, with all the screaming, yelling, accusations of "fakes", "Intel paid", "FUD" leaks in the last couple of weeks, we're here, finally reading [H]'s take on it, and finding out that for the most part all those leaks were DEAD ON if not pretty damn close in telling us what to...

So I'm playing BF3 demo now, and it seems a bit laggy.. Not sure if it's my GF460 (786mb) or i3 540 OC-ed to 4GHz. Microcenter got a sweet-ass deal on the i5 2500k now, and I can get it with a mobo for ~$280. On the other hand GF560 TI is $220~240... Which one would benefit me most in BF3?
I was wondering if there is a place where I can see the unbiased reviews and reliability start on the major HDD manufacturers...??? I'm a lottle bit pissed, because my 1month old Hitachi 1TB drive I got from Microcenter (~$50) is starting to have "click-of-death". I went to Newegg to see the...

Silly question, but I'd like you (Intel) folks to elaborate.
