With New Egg, don't forget about S&H costs though. Gotta factor that into account as well.

ncix price match.

AMD cancels plans to introduce next-gen FX processors next year

Wow... as good/efficient APU's are, I would rather go Intel if I'm building a gaming set up.

I prefer APU for non-gaming or budget build

Kaveri will make a great $500 gaming system that will probably be able to have games running like XB1 and PS4

riding out on 32nm into the foreseeable future?
AMD has given up on the CPU market...looks liek APU's and mobile SoCs only going forward

the new Kaveri APU, damn... max settings @1080p gets you 30fps... thats darn good for a CPU/GPU combo and im sure you can get a mobo bundle for like under $350...

planning to build a NAS/router/HTPC next year. I guess AMD will be in the project, hopefully it surprises everyone

need help with an issue.

on my parents newer rig (i5 2500, ssd, etc etc) when they open internet explorer, it stalls and won't load - the page will open but be blank at times for 50 seconds before their homepage opens. at time you need to close and re open and keep trying that till it finally displays the homepage. yet sometimes it opens perfectly fine and instantly.

I've defragged, ran malaware antbites, cleared all temp files, ran disc cleanup, ran the check for errors etc under c:/ tools.. I've reinstalled IE 11, tried going back to IE 10, then back to IE 11, still the same stalling/non opening issue. everything is up to date win update wise and there are -no- other issues with the computer, everything else is lightning fast and fluid.

is there anything else I can try before I have to resort to re installing win7 64bit pro? is there a better malaware program I can try, if it even is a non software issue?

I wanna get rid of my two gtx 660 ti's 2gb's, what's a fair price now that all the prices have been adjusted ?
should I ask if any of you guys here in this thread want one or both, before I post up in classifieds? one is EVGA and the other is ASUS.. I'll let'em go for $160 each? I think that's a pretty low quick sale price am I right ??

there's your issue.. IE.. lol j/k

its probably a conflict with another installed app.. try using chrome or ff and see if that still happens...

try doing a system restore?

I've been outta the loop with current hardware. I'm trying to build a $500-700 light gaming PC that I will hook up to my TV. I'm going to be using a small case, most likely mATX or mini-ITX motherboard. It'll be mainly used to watch downloaded movies and browser internet but I also want the flexibility to do some 1080p first person shooter gaming. What route should I go with my budget? AMD seems to offer more value now and in particular it seems the FX-6300 is a good bang/buck.

Any recommendations on hardware? The bitfenix phenom case looks like a good choice for me right now. Looking to keep it within that size. Don't need much storage as I have an external hard drive. Possibly a 120GB SSD main drive should be good

SuprCool-PC Crowdfunding Project is an All New Type of CPU Cooler

Looks like a cross between a liquid cooler and a normal heatsink... not sure how they're going to meet those claims, but I hope to get one in for testing ASAP

why not just sell the idea to a MFG and get royalties?

regardless an internal water cooling kit wont be very effective. it requires fresh cool air to draw heat from the radiators. recirculating the same hot air from inside the case, that it just spit out, is self defeating.

Not necessarily, it'd be fine as long as the case has good airflow. The problem's mainly the size, unless that little pump and fan are running at crazy rpms (and making a racket doing so) I doubt it's going to do too well.

Probably would end up matching the current tower coolers, and lower-end AIO setups at best. Heatpipes are pretty damn efficient at conducting heat...

On the other hand, Swiftech's new H320 is on sale, that should cool almost anything well.

That's what they have been doing... They have made these coolers for Intel's supercomputing customers, and military, along with other cooling needs like semiconductors

They are just taking that and trying to bring it to retail. I'm not sure they'll go very far on this kind of crowdfunding site though - they really should have used Kickstarter

Also the picture shown is for that Intel MIC.. the retail one will look more like a normal tower cooler, just with water heatpipes instead of current copper/wick heatpipes

Back on topic, would this be a good update to my FX 4100 CPU? Mostly for gaming.

AMD FX-8350 8 Core Processor Socket AM3+ 4.0GHZ 16MB

around $200

When did we go off topic? :seriously:

What video card do you have?

Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti - 448 core.

@Skinnypupp

have you tried/reviewed Seagate SSHD drives? any good?

I haven't but tech report have. It looks like it works like an SSD cache but without needing software. I'd say that's a good thing, but if you already have an HDD you can just get a small SSD and cache it.

I would say upgrade that first. If you're open to overclocking, your CPU has some headroom

512GB Crucial m4 with all my testing software on it just bit the dust :fuuuuu:
