I tried to M-flash the bios, and it worked! Thank you for the advice man.

Nope I have not. Coincidentally 3.8Ghz is the default turbo boost frequency for 6850k. But my overclock should override that setting anyways. I am starting to think it's a software issue.

Hello Friends! I have had my 6850k running at 4.4Ghz stable for almost two years. But that's until I ran into the following problem a few days ago. The CPU seems to be stuck at 3.8Ghz in windows. I tried to reset the bios, and overclocked it back to 4.4Ghz. The bios clearly indicates the CPU is running at the desired frequency. However, once I boot into windows, the frequency drops down to 3.8Ghz on all cores except the preferred core at 4.0 Here is a topic I found on Reddit which describes the same issue I have. Cheers.

Unfortunately, Corsair seems not to buy my explanation. I guess I will never buy anything from them

Aha, the data breach. My experience with NCIX really was meh.

I delete old emails every six months. I don't have it.

Good afternoon people. My Corsair H100i V2 broke down yesterday, and I filed a ticket to Corsair. Apparently they require me to attach a copy of receipt. Here is the problem. I bought it from NCIX less than two years ago, but we all know the company went bankrupt. I can no longer find an electronic copy of the receipt. Unfortunately I did not download it from NCIX's website before their server went down. In one word, is there any possible way that I can retrieve an old NCIX receipt? ?

Indeed, simply looking at these two beautiful cases gives me the sensation of constructing two custom loops for them.

Man, that's an incredible loop and system!

Both of them have the splendid fish tank/square box ish shape. I cant make a choice for now.

I thought the airflow has been greatly improved on the Evolv X...

Hello everybody! The trend of desktop ATX cases has been great so far this year. I am looking forward to upgrade my good old NZXT H440. As the title suggests, what case should I go for, the O11 Dynamic or Evolv X?

I suppose the ivy bridge i7 has a standard tdp. Doesn't the spectre only features low tdp cpu? They will not match the performance with a 45w mobile i7.

That makes a lot of sense. I think I am going to return the i7 8550u xps to get a more practical model with i5 because they basically performs to the same degree. The 360 degree hinge is a big selling point for me.

I think the ultrabook is not providing the 25w the cpu needs in order to boost to up to 4ghz. The HP also has a 4k display, which is better than the QHD one on xps. But I doubt I will see a difference on a 13'' display. I might wanna return the xps now.
