Broxton has been 2016 since Intel's Investor Meeting in Nov 14 (see Renee James' presentation slides). SoFIA 3G was 1H2015, per the slides, and Rock chip announced 3G-R was shipping in March (see IDF Shenzhen preso) and is on sale this month...

This is out of left field, but what about raising equity and diluting the hell out of the current shareholders?

It’s pretty hard to argue that QCOM is being mismanaged. The company announced a new $15B share repurchase program last month and hiked its dividend 14%. And the cost structure is relatively lean already. Plus, both of their major business are tightly aligned and address the same...

Historically Altera's GM has been 60-70% (closer to 65-70%) after their foundry partners have charged them for their purchases, which would suggest that if they merged, Altera products manufactured at Intel would be a good deal above Intel's corp average GM.

Would an invesrsion strategy even work? Per the terms of the agreement, Section 6.2 Termination for Cause (6.2(b)(7))...

I used it all day yesterday with the stock Intel cooler and temps in the 25-40 degree range and it was humming right along. Did some editing in Lightroom and Photoshop and also some modeling in Excel and temps were fine with no other hiccups. Only annoying thing is that the CPU fan needs to be...

There were actually only 3 cables coming off the pump. The pump cable that goes to the CPU_Fan header, USB header cable, and SATA+Fan cable. The pump cable is what I plugged into the CPU_fan header and tried on the CPU_Opt header. I'm currently running the system with the stock CPU cooler on...

Yea- I'll probably end up doing all of this later next week. Really annoying. In the Kraken directions it said to plug the pump into the CPU_fan and then the fans get connected to a SATA controller for power, and then there's another input that goes to a USB header. Kind of weird. Right now I'm...

Well I'm installing windows and using the stock cooler for now. Wanted to get this up and running before heading to GTC tomorrow. Will probably RMA the board when I get back next week and reinstall with an EVO 212. I guess this is what I get for trying to be fancy.

So I unmounted the Kraken and mounted the CPU with the stock cooler. Initially plugged it into the CPU_Fan header and the fan wasn't recognized and wasn't spinning. Turned the system off and plugged the fan into the CPU_Opt header and it's now spinning and recognized in BIOS with the temp coming...

I don't even understand how plugging the pump into either the CPU_Fan or CPU_Opt header would do this. It shorted some unlabled chip next to the CPU_Over Voltage chip. I guess I'm going to take the Kraken off and try this out with the stock CPU cooler and see if I get a different result.

So basically I need to go get a new motherboard to determine whether or not it's actually the pump? I'm assuming I probably can't RMA this?

Do you have any idea why none of the fans are showing up in bios though? It's not even showing that there's a CPU fan attached.

Had initially picked out the EVO 212, but decided not to go with it for aesthetic reasons. FML. Might just go to MicroCenter for the 4th time in 36hrs and pick one up.

So I disabled asus multicore enhancement and went through the EZ tuning expert to select a water cooling system. CPU had apparently been running at 4GHz in bios, now it's at 800MHz, but still at 88 degrees. I can feel the water cooling tubes vibrating, but I'm assuming that's just from the...
