    X3D (or is it AMD?) single core torture

    Hello! I accidentally stumbled upon an interesting X3D torture scenario. A single threaded game loading screen that pushes temperatures similar or higher than CR23 multi core test for me (which has until now been the hottest test for a 7800 X3D). What you need: the game Age of Empires 2 DE (I...

    980 ti went out in smoke :-(

    So yeah, sad but true story. I was gaming and about to take a break when suddenly boom, a puff of white smoke, an horrible smell and the PC shuts down (and proceeds to reboot but I didn't let it - I shut down the power at the plug).

    Build thread - replacement for an e8400

    Hello, I have an e8400 running at 3.6ghz which is bottlenecking my current rig (was at 4 before, but the old mobo died and this one won't run it at 4 at all). I could get some Q9xxx CPU, but those are ridiculously pricey considering how old and slow they are compared to new CPUs. So I...
