    CaseLabs Resurrects With a Survey for Existing and Upcoming Customers

    So. Damn. Excited. They've got some catching up to do given the changes in the market since their departure, but I'm getting the feels about this new ownership. I think we'll see great things!

    ASRock Announces Motherboards for AMD Ryzen Processors

    I had the same confusion, but it's actually just the model name that contains the confusing "AB350M" nomenclature. If you look at the specs, it has a regular B350 chipset. The Gigabyte GA-AB350M has the same problem, unfortunately.

    Microsoft Announces the Surface Studio - A 28-Inch AIO With Skylake and GTX 980M

    I almost had this same reaction, but as a creative professional this makes it more compatible with many of the software suites out there. For whatever reason, the 10-series cards all launched several months before CUDA 8 was released (which was just under a month ago). I got a GTX 1080 for my...

    Thermaltake Debuts the Core W200, WP200 and P200 PC Cases

    CaseLabs is where these designs are stolen from. I'd say "inspired by" if it weren't so well documented how and when they started copying their aesthetics. I personally won't give Thermalfake my support, but their last round of these made it clear most people don't care.

    Windows 10 Upgrade Begins Rolling Out in Waves

    Sorry, P4-630, didn't mean to ignore your other question. Your hidden partition should remain intact as it is right now unless you go out of your way to delete it. Once you've upgraded to Windows 10, you will be able to go to [Settings > Update & security > Reset this PC > Get started] and it...

    Windows 10 Upgrade Begins Rolling Out in Waves

    It varies from computer to computer based on the hardware, but users are reporting anywhere from 5-7GB, smaller than Windows 7 or 8 ever was.

    Windows 10 Upgrade Begins Rolling Out in Waves

    Yep, the Windows.old folder will be there with anything but a clean install. The good news is, it can be deleted. Simply run Disk Cleanup and check the Previous Windows installation(s) box. See this guide for more info.

    Windows 10 Upgrade Begins Rolling Out in Waves

    No need to wait for roll-out. Microsoft lets you download right now at the link below. This is also the tool you use if you want to create a USB or DVD for the install. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Just make sure you have your Windows 7/8/8.1 Product Key handy as...

    AMD "Fiji" Silicon Lacks HDMI 2.0 Support

    I think its size is more of a happy side-effect of HBM than a push into the living room, for sure. While that's absolutely the case (small 4K TV market), I think it's a pivotal time where the price and content delivery options mean the market is about to grow rapidly. Especially this holiday...

    AMD "Fiji" Silicon Lacks HDMI 2.0 Support

    Wow, that does amplify this problem a bit now that you mention it. And that "console-sized" Project Quantum rig they built with the dual-Fiji card and a power brick the size of a small dog is very confusing now. I hope they get it together, compromise is the last thing they need in the current...

    AMD "Fiji" Silicon Lacks HDMI 2.0 Support

    Yeah, it's a crappy position to be in, not having the right ports on both ends. The industry is full of shady companies making wild claims because cables are almost all profit. The $100 adapter scenario would likely pull it off full-featured, but would be laggy due to the interruption in...

    AMD "Fiji" Silicon Lacks HDMI 2.0 Support

    Stop. Neither of these cables support 4K at 60Hz, you're gonna make someone waste time and money. Just look at the reviews. Claiming "compatibility" with a backwards compatible port like HDMI 2.0 is misleading in both of these products. It's like saying a PS3 is "HDMI 2.0 compatible" just...

    AMD "Fiji" Silicon Lacks HDMI 2.0 Support

    It won't, that cable is capped at 30 Hz just like the HDMI 1.4a port on the card. All this will do is cost you $45 and introduce lag. Edit: source

    MSI Announces its GeForce GTX 980 Ti Gaming Graphics Cards

    It does seem a bit silly, but it's probably cheaper for them to make it themselves than to use Nvidia's reference shroud.
