IBM have revealed that they are working on a 7nm chip in conjunction with GlobalFoundries, Samsung and SUNY(State University of New York). The development are set to push Intel in the Process war seeing as this is one of the first times recently that Intel have not been well ahead of they competitors. 
 
The 7nm Chip employs a type of silicone called silicon-germanium (SiGe), this type of silicon allows the transistors to be sub 10nm and still allow of electron mobility, this was previously a problem because regular silicon would not allow enough current through to make an effect. They are still using the standard FinFET transistor which is widely used in the commercial industry at the moment. They are now using UV lasers to etch the channels in the silicon, they are using an Argin Flouride laser which has a wave length of 193nm.
 
The chip is said to have improved performance by 50% and also brought down power consumption by 50%. Although the technology is still in its infancy it is set to look very exciting, the chip is set to released for commercial use in 2017/2018 although the use of EUV lasers to etch the chips is not yet practical. Also with Intel running into  problems with 10nm production at the moment we may see some delays.
 
This has the potential to spice things up the processor market for the next few years and may even spur Intel to get of the arses even more and charge for the metaphorical hills of graphine. IBM may now take the place of AMD as the competition to Intel.

Refresh rates of monitors can be "overclocked." That is, increasing the refresh rate of the panel. (From say 60hz to 75hz.) It's done very easily in Windows. You simply create resolution inside of Catalyst Control Center, or NVIDIA COntrol Panel, and set the refresh rate to something higher than your monitor. Go until the monitor seems unstable. (Either powering off, visual issues, or no display at all.) It decreases the lifespan of the monitor, but can eek out a few more hz from your display for no cost.

Qnix is a Korean monitor brand. One of the more popular cheapo Korean monitor brands.

there's no such thing. you'll need to format the drive completely and then do a fresh install of the os.

Hi there @turbopiki!
 
I would do a restore back to computer's factory settings. That way you would be able to wipe all current data off the hard drive while leaving the Windows OS intact. 
 
Cheers!

From what I know there isn't such a software as deleting everything else would probably result in your drivers getting deleted as well, if you needed a software to uninstall multiple software at once I'd say go with IObit Uniinstaller thats the first step, from there you can batch uninstall software and also delete the folders they leave behind, its not exactly what you wanted, but hey its free and it works  

Even at that low, it feels like a waste of money.

Just received a 10$ off for a 50$ or more purchase on amazon.ca I know I'm not going to buy anything so here is the code.

Enjoy!

for all those wondering, it's locked to canada

It looks like someone stuck a space ship up their ass and at a gay pride parade and then shit this out. 
 

 
It's the ugliest keyboard I've ever seen. 

you can do one
not 2

yes, you only need 500 ish Watt

Thanks! Ordered. Let's see how long it takes. I will probably get it in a few months haha

Wow.... Just... Wow.

Good luck finding one

I'm kinda sure this is just crapware that pollutes your system.

I have to say, that res is fucking brilliant.
 
Also, I don't see how his tone is "too condescending". It's obviously written in a whole "you kids these days" comedic sense?

Sell the included mouse for $90 and there you go.

Ikea is making wireless chargers for your devices ! I hope this becomes a staple in furniture to come.


Jeanette Skjelmose, manager of the lighting and wireless charging sector, said Monday IKEA aims to make life at home simpler because “we know that people hate cable mess.”
