  1. Not 'two virtual cores' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvkDKucAI1M
  2. http://www.amazon.com/Wireworld-Platinum-Starlight-Series-Digital/product-reviews/B00C6MGOEG/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=recent
  3. 4.2 in single Core loads. Why would it run MORE cores faster and LESS cores slower?
  4. Passmark is synthetic...
  5. Kalih switches use the same stem as Cherry MX, so any Cherry keycap will be fine.
  6. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/silverstone-case-gd09b http://pcpartpicker.com/part/silverstone-case-sstgd10b http://pcpartpicker.com/part/silverstone-case-sstgd05busb30
  7. SATA will stick around for Hard Drives, M.2 for mostly laptops/M-ITX, and U.2 for fast 2.5 inch SSDs
  8. If we power the elevator 'cars' with lasers, that solves the problem.
  9. Welcome! My thoughts: 1. Why buy a K-Series processor and a motherboard that isn't designed to overclock? 2. SSD! Worth it to get one now and a hard drive later when you need it 3. A 650 W power supply will be fine, the CX haters will be coming.
  10. I don't think Andyroid is a virus, just runs slow and takes up system resources. If you're looking for an android emulator, Bluestacks is good. Droid4X is better but has a ton of compatibility issues when I install it, but is great when it works. Androidx86 on a partition or VirtualBox.
  11. I think you should move this out of 'Peripherals'
  12. I think I remember 'Telescope orbiting Mars as one proposal' in the article I saw, so....
  13. 6 Titan Xs with perfect SLI scaling probably wouldn't bottleneck it.
  14. 5820K, unless you NEED Skylake features(5820K beats 6700K in everything except really badly optimised games)
  15. Both are fine. Just because you may have had 17 RMAs doesn't mean everyone has your luck. They can't have perfect quality control. Sure, the ASRock website is garbage and uses Images instead of proper CSS, but their motherboards are fine, might not have as good a BIOS as ASUS, but they're fine.
  16. What problems? If you mean the GIMPS error thing, then you haven't read about many past launches of CPU.
  17. If you thought architecture for CPU's was important, then GPU architectures are magnitudes more important. Newer architechtures for GPUs are better. For NVidia, its Maxwell 2.0 (9xx cards) and for AMD, its GCN 3.0(I'm pretty sure)(3xx series). Technically, Maxwell 2.0 is more advanced, but AMD used its GCN 3.0 architecture form the 2xx card series and piled on more transistors, and sells the cards at the same price point as NVidia for close performance. NVidia has better drivers, and AMD has better compute performance, but the performance is based on the price point mostly. While choosing GPU's, look at how each GPU in you price range performs in which games you want to play, and buy the one that gives you the most FPS for your money. Also consider other things, such as G-Sync, Freesync, NVidia has Shadowplay and AMD has something that I cannot remember competing with Shadowplay, NVidia has CUDA(But I don't think it matters to you)
  18. What comes next, after electronic computing? Quantum? Photonic? Memristor Stuff? I will hate quantum computing if only servers are able to handle it, gone the days of building PCs.
  19. Samsung, release a 950 EVO with M.2 and NVMe already, my M.2 slot will be empty until then. Unless Intel or somebody else can do that with V-NAND, I'm not using any M.2 SSD.
  20. Which telescope are they building out of donated spy satellites? I remember seeing something about that. JUST BUILD A FREAKING SPACE ELEVATOR
  21. Oops, thats what I meant. But the Base Clock Speed of your 6600 is 3.3 Ghz, so your chip cannot go to 3.6 Ghz with all 4 cores at max load.
  22. The 4-Core Turbo clock speed is 3.9 GHz
