    Going back to Windows 7 if i get one more BSOD!

    Most likely, the computer wants to go to sleep or hibernate and the system driver does not handle it. If you can't get functional drivers, you can prevent the computer to go to sleep. I advice you to install all factory drivers for Win10 from your motherboard manufacturer except for Intel...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Clock Speeds Revealed

    It was already known it would have 96 ROPS in order to arrive at 384 bits memory bandwidth. Now the million dollar question is whether it would have L2 cache removed and have the -0.5GB penalty.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Clock Speeds Revealed

    EVGA does not ever appear in the hardware.fr component return page in all the years I have looked at.

    Intel Sandy Bridge to Introduce New Sockets, Chipsets, Reorganize Platform Further

    If Intel kept the 1156 socket you would still need new chipset, just like 945, 965 to X38, P35 transition. You basically need a new chipset for every architectural change. AMD basically kept the same architecture from K8 days that's why AM2 is compatible with Am3 etc. So, essentially, Intel is...

    Uhh... The X68 is for top end LGA 2011 Sandy Bridge CPUs. It has nothing to do with LGA 1366. LGA 1366 will be the top end for another year till 2nd half of 2011, meaning more affordable gulftown CPUs are making its way to X58...
