  1. To Dennis, did you receive the mattress yet? To @Slick, did you ever think that leaving school to be Linus' right hand was a bad idea? If so, why?
  2. Doesn't mean it won't be able to charge it while it's off!
  3. If Intel's 3D XPoint claims are true, then that is going to be a lot sooner.
  4. The node 304 is pretty damn small and it fits most regular GPUs. There is also the Cougar QBX which is about the same size. If you want smaller you can get this azza case.
  5. Are you using an itx, micro-atx, or atx motherboard?
  6. I agree with you, but why would AMD create such a profitless initiative if it would help the competition? Do you think they are doing it for just plain marketing?

  8. You are almost right, but that depends on the game. Your biggest concern here is that many game engines are not efficient at running paralelizable instructions (for example half of the code can only be run in one core while the other half is run at all "8" cores), and unfortunately, AMD's architecture is not optimized for single core workloads. It is still a great CPU and you will probably be able to play most games just "fine", it is still a good value if you can find one at a decent price, but it is an already aging processor. If you are buying new, and want to stick with AMD, wait until Q1 of next year as there is a big chance we might see a release.
  9. We would need a lot of data to accurately interpret it though. Anandtech, and 3dmark have really solid databases.
  10. Are you running out of space in your hard drive / ssd? If you want to ignore these notifications Go into ADM - Critical events then just right click and select Ignore once or Ignore Always. Check out Help while you are in that panel. Here is a quote from Help: Ignore once - select this item to ignore an event only once in particular case (with a certain date and time), for example in case when a problem had been already fixed and does not affect the overall disk status any more); Ignore always - select this item to place this event to a Windows Event Log monitoring configuration file. But note, to start displaying this even again, you need to delete it from a script file manually;
  11. I think the best game idea would be something like a gaming "simulator" were a person can pick all the parts, and build the PC, then the game simulates different benchmark scores, popular game benchmarks, etc using data found online.
  12. Silverstone SG12: http://silverstonetek.com/product.php?area=en&pid=540 Silverstone SG10: http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=392 You won't find anything as compact.
  13. It is almost like C, same syntax and everything. There are really good tutorials in youtube to get you started!
  14. Any cheap mid tower that has good cable management and is able to hold a 240 mm rad? I haven't bought the rad yet, but it shouldn't be something too thick. I am looking for a case under $50 (US)
