    Best processor for Asus ROG strix Z270E mobo

    I'm 99% sure that the 7700K shares the same vulnerabilities as the 6700K. It's the same chip through and through.

    GIGABYTE Outs RX 5600 XT Gaming OC VBIOS Update and Easy Updater

    Postponing would be longer than "a few days" and it would be a logistical nightmare. Think how many tens of thousands of cards they'd have to have sent back to them, re-flashed, and shipped back out. That's not an overnight task, is it? It would cost millions. Just make it public knowledge...

    Intel Reportedly Looking Into Further Reduction in CPU Pricing for 2020

    True. If it wasn't for that, we'd still be rocking quad core i7 CPUs ... Ryzen woke them up and finally pushed increased core counts on mainstream platforms in roughly a decade. Who remembers the $1k Pentium 4 EE CPUs...

    G.SKILL Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 MHz CL16 2x8 GB

    Just let the man exercise his right to his free speech, even though he doesn't understand how the CCX system works. I'm out. Hmm, one final thing, then. Their memory controller is crap, right? Yet as of right now it has the highest ever obtained frequency for DDR4. Yah, it's a turd...

    G.SKILL Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 MHz CL16 2x8 GB

    *sighs harder...* Or, you know, as above, it is in the design where it only has one CCX instead of two... Maybe you should check your facts before posting such a message. Write bandwidth very little to do with the 'real-world' performance for 99% of the user base.

    replacing a Q9650

    Time to upgrade to something from this decade. You will get much better efficiency, power and performance, out of even a basic 2200G, for example.

    Simple SATA/PWM question - everybody is telling me something different, what is correct?!

    Honestly, you'd be fine connecting three Noctua fans to your one motherboard header without the need for the additional SATA power. They draw 0.15A each, bringing you to 0.45A under full load. Most motherboards in recent years can distribute 1A per header, which you're just under half of with...

    Simple SATA/PWM question - everybody is telling me something different, what is correct?!

    Are we SERIOUSLY still doing this? Bloody hell... honestly, you're just confusing the OP. Yes, the fan will get the 12v constantly. However, the PWM controller resides within the fan to control this and will switch it on or off depending on the percentage requested. It makes ABSOLUTELY NO...

    Bitspower Premium Summit M CPU Block

    Oof... that price is a hard pill to swallow.

    Simple SATA/PWM question - everybody is telling me something different, what is correct?!

    It's real simple. Not sure why everyone is complicating this so much! SATA, or Molex, is there to provide the power only. Nothing more, nothing less. The 4th pin, for PWM, will still allow the fan to operate under normal PWM circumstances. You just need to make sure that you get one with PWM...

    Broken Hardwares

    I've killed a fair amount of hardware... Near golden status GTX 580 reference card with a faulty variable resistor mod. ASRock Z170 OC Formula - this died by faulty components, widespread issue. Intel Core i3-6320 (is that the highest one?) as a result of the above board dying. SilverStone...
