    Please Vote on a AM4 X370 Motherboard

    I'd suggest buying the board that has the stuff you want/need. It's what I did with the Asrock Taichi. A billion SATA ports. So I vote Asrock 1 (because it had what I wanted)

    Ryzen: Strictly technical

    I did the ACS patch and was able to pass my 1070 through to the win10 guest. Got the "error 43" message installing the driver. I couldn't overcome that problem. I guess I'll have to use all AMD/Radeon cards to make it work.

    ryzen 1700 + asrock taichi what can I expect/help

    My Taichi had a bios version that didn't include a flash utility built into the bios. I had to boot to a bootable dos USB stick and flash it the old fashioned way.

    Ryzen: Strictly technical

    I have an Asrock Taichi with v2.0 bios. I have an rx460 in the PCI-E 1 slot (nearest the cpu) and a NV 1070 in the "middle" PCI-E slot. Running Ubuntu 17.04 beta. I've been trying and failed to do pci-e pass through.

    Is there any way to block the Daily Tech feed?

    I'm a LONG time reader of Anandtech. It's my #1 go to site for tech related things. I am, however, getting really really tired of the liberal slanted articles on Daily Tech. Is there a way to block the feed? Thank you.

    Watching TV/Movies Options?

    Laptop is near perfect. Had it for ~5 years. It wont do full screen video, but I was thinking perhaps there is a way, either via firewire/usb/pcmcia that I could stream movies to it. Is there something I can buy for it that will let me watch movies or tv on it? Say an video capture card, or...

    939 overclocking. I need your guys advice.

    If a 185 would result in the highest clock possible, I'll get one. But it sure seems opterons are the way to go for sure. Anyone have any input on watercooling stuff? I really appreciate your replies so far!

    939 overclocking. I need your guys advice.

    I want the best dual core 939 overclocking results money can buy, to be honest and upfront. So that leaves me with several questions: Which 939 cpu, x2 or opteron, will give me the best chances of overclocking? I'm gonna go back to water after a 5 year absence. I'm not really caught up...

    Need advice on bare metal disk backups.

    Without going into messy details and opening a huge can of worms, and to try and keep it on topic, I need to clone a disk pulled from a raid-5 3-ware hardware array. The sata disk is using ext3. I have tried acronis true image ws 9, norton ghost 10, r-drive, paragon drive backup, and acronis...
