    True. Still should do the RAM testing. No reason why the CPU should have an odd clockrate after that.

    I always OC through bios and don't like in-OS software because when testing or things get unstable, it tends to really fuck things up. Is there not a way to go into BIOS and hard reset to defaults? Also, you need functional CPU and RAM to boot and dig around in BIOS. CPUs are fairly bulletproof...

    I was really talking about the behemoths like Dell / Alienware and the like. It's been ages since I screwed around on the Cyberpower website, but I always looked at them as a middle of the road company that is basically taking parts and putting it together for you. An assembler service, if you...

    Skylake is the next big generation. Haswell was from 2013 and Broadwell was just a die shrink of the same. Skylake gets you the next 2 years worth of tech. Plus there are some big leaps coming in the Sunrise Point chipset. (Tons more native USB3 ports, 20 PCIe 3.0 lanes, DDR4 support...

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    I do fully admit there is a point of diminishing returns and some manufacturers go way overboard in cost for aesthetic purposes. However, there are brands out there that throw a boat load of cash into R&D. "Exotic and untested crappy parts"? I find it extremely hard to believe DIY crowds are...

    From your wording, it sounds like you purchased already? I would wait if at all possible. The next gen Intel CPUs (Skylake) paired with the next gen motherboard chipsets (100 Series / Sunrise Point) are due in September. That's right around the corner.

    On paper, the two machines might look similar, but self-built you can get far superior brand name components. Instead of unknown oem generic RAM at 1600MHZ, I can put in quality branded (and faster / lower latency) modules. Power supplies are notoriously generic and questionable from pre-builts...

    My last ex said the pill drove her batshit as well. She ended up going on Depo-Provera because it is a hell of a lot easier to manage and just as effective. (injection every 3 months) Not only are they horrible for the feels, but they are also one of the least effective methods of BC! Something...

    Still way overspent. You can buy an Intel NUC for about half of that price. I use one as a Home Theater Kodi box and it is amazing. If he is truly only using it for internet and music it would still be a huge overkill. Amazon.com : Intel Next Unit of Computing Kit with Dual HDMI, Gigabit LAN...

    That is interesting and something I never considered. Can you actually get PMI removed if a newer house appraisal tips you over 78%? What about the opposite if the market turns? I just assumed PMI was locked at the purchase appraisal price. (Again, me assuming)

    I agree. I don't care if the ideas aren't his, Cameron is an innovator and pioneer in the special effects world.

    But yet there is Planetside 2, which is a SoE / DB product no less, which handles hundreds of players in the same areas all of the time without issue. As it is a FPS, it is very time / latency sensitive too. What is the excuse again? They have the tech, they lack the innovation to make a...

    I agree with the latency point, but you can also make the argument that the lowest latency 1600 ram costs you a premium too vs the larger latency 1600 chips. As you said, it is all about a balancing act for cost. If you feel confident overclocking, you can save quite a lot by upping your own...

    My son was a surprise to us. She had been on the pill, but later admitted that she hadn't been on point with taking it at the correct time every day. As others have said, it is far more likely that she fucked up taking the pills. Mine did at least admit to it.

    Makes sense, though I would be pretty pissed off. I just bought two 980 Ti cards! Speaking of which, the 980 Ti is the biggest card I have seen in many years. It's nearly 11 inches long and with the ACX 2.0 adds a lot of weight. Beefiest card I think I have ever seen!
