be quiet! stuff always looked cool to me And, that is interesting MikeC about your experience with stuff like lead. I have considered it and I think I will give it a go in my new case. I know the led sheets they sell from that link. I guess just glue them. Nice to know it doesnt havent to be near 10...

dx12 it kills it 25% - 13% faster at 1440p and scales same to 1080p.

thats the major thing. that is huge.

that's a particularly picky small desire. wouldnt anything do?

hard ocp people reviewed the 1060gtx as a bit lower than the rx 480 consistently in modern games.

i am upset about that. If it was a 179 dollar card and nice and cool running as it is, I would be happy. I have to game at 1440p so this is an issue now.

call them on the phone. buy a yard of it. weighs heavy, stops sound dead.

the 8-pin connector on non-reference cards makes that the only card to buy. I cannot imagine having to worry about my whole computer going on fire because of a power draw that exceeds 75 watts at the board. I do not trust the longevity of my system either, even though it was patched this week. if 8...

I am a fan of AMD until most recently, cpu wise. The 1090T era was the last good chip they put out aside from their cheaper APU machines which are the best to build for family and friends where cost but features are needed. I have been trying to buy an Nvidia card for over 10 years. Every time one p...

Nvidia is always the slick and scummy one. It never would have given the public its 1060 GTX 3-4 months early if it wasnt for AMD making a card for all people at a good price. And now they do a paper launch with a cheap price to try and slow down the sales of AMD, causing hesitancy. For the past thr...

Wow

600 Watt fanless sounds great. I have a 460 fanless platinum and am very happy with it.

I will be using the thing to do SETI@Home. It will first go in this old machine and then in a new one. I know a 1070 would be optimal but it is a lot of cost. I also will be using it for 1440p gaming. The RX480 already can do that, if the 1060 GTX is faster, that would be a consideration. 192 bit ra...

I will have to wait for 1060 6gb and the strix asus before I buy now.

Such constant delays to get the right card. Also, this is the price of Reference 1060 gtx. Probably add 30 dollars for different versions. Could be a 299 dollar card or who knows what

yes, the 3 fans on Asus look interesting. Seems that you cant go wrong with either in most editions the past two years.

I saw a three fan Strix card all ready to go. Not sold yet, but they are made. They look really nice. I will be hitting one asap.

They are making another Gaming MSI one as well, just doesnt seem to be made yet.

wow. You are vigilant

the motherboard has some cool parts on it. like the nic/lan ports are above average parts, a few things on the board seem to be as well. I guess a server rack doesnt need more than 3 phase power even on 24/7 for a few years under stress. I wonder why not toss a few more phases on it to lighten the l...

you use the word "can't" in a special way my Italian friend

Do you remove the old IHS and clean it off and reapply the TIM once a year?

I was thinking about delidding and then sticking it back on but with good TIM and no silicone goo

shrug?

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P10S-WS/specifications/ Check that out. It is fancy because it is a workstation class board with everything i would use on it for gaming. The question is this: Notice the 3+2 phase power. That is on every server board i have seen. Supermicro, tyan (not many tyan...

I would imagine the lower temperatures would show up at stock voltages as the chip will be moderately stressed. Delidding + liquid metal TIM is expected to bring in -10/-15°C at stock, depending of your chip: do you need that for crunching? I can't help, but in case pair the mod with a proper shim ...

"If you ever decide to upgrade to a discrete card, it will be placed on the sidelines with its talents being wasted." - spcr After having read MANY (possibly all...) reviews of the i7-5775c, I have to say that this part is absolutely the most flawed part of the article. Now, it is an innocent flaw b...

I am considering delidding as I intend my cpu to number crunch for like 12-16 hours a day for several years. I would imagine the lower temperatures would show up at stock voltages as the chip will be moderately stressed. Hm? Making this machine a sci-fi number cruncher. I only build one main machine...

I know that SPCR tests cpu's. I know they never took a IHS/Lid off of one and re-applied the TIM and re-tested it. Seems like a dangerous idea, but the temperatures of the chips are 3-6 C less or more in some instances. INtel supposedly uses really garbage thermal paste and also badly applied. Any t...

that is interesting.

The price difference is likely due to the VAT (which is different than a sales tax).

That is sad.

now, for almost all chips in a series, they normally just disable a section rather than make a new chip. I dont know if that is true anymore with skylake chips or xeon chips. I would think that they only disable them if they are "bad binned" and not inentional. Therefore, i would think that a 1270 i...

Well, what i propose is to get one or the other e3 xeon chip and not use the IGP. does that change what you were trying to say? On a linux benchmark, on phoronix, the tpd's of various max/min e3-1200 v5's seem to be almost all the same on load, just 1-2 watt differences. that confused me to no end.

I guess they just charge EU people 50 dollars more for nothing. High income taxes, sales taxes and higher cost of pc parts. Must be expensive to upgrade often

it has the TPD's as the same 80 watts. :/ I duno. Does that make sense? I am deciding between i7-5775c build and a xeon e3-1200 v5 build. Quite different. I see that in scientific calculations, the skylake /xeon chips are superior in many ways, especially on Linux that i7 5775c though is king of gam...

anyone know the difference between the e3-1275 v5 and the e3-1270 v5? One has graphics for +$9 dollars the other one does not. however, my question is not about that, but about the chip itself. Is the 1270 simply the same chip with just defective graphics unit disabled? would there be a notable redu...
