    What happened to AMD high end perfomance?

    My first build with my own money was a AMD build, it gave me very good performance ( at the time) compared to Intel within a small budget. Always felt AMD cared about its customers, and Intel comes across as more corporate. Just a personal feeling. Maybe its just a case of rooting for the...

    What happened to AMD high end perfomance?

    I am a huge AMD fan, 3 out of my 5 builds have been AMD. But I cant justify getting such low performing CPUs. Not a flame bait thread, I really want to proudly buy a AMD CPU and tell the world to buy AMD and that its BETTER than intel like during the Athlon64 days. I honestly cant recommend...

    What happened to AMD high end perfomance?

    At a time they were the best during the Athlon? So why don't they make chart topping stuff???

    I7 920 (1st Gen) OC @ 3.6 Ghz looking for upgrade

    Mid-tower....I just dont want to go back to mid tower, its too cramped. A full tower is fine, even a reasonable ultra tower is good (size and weight). What about the Phantom? Or something from Thermaltake? I am getting so confused and double minded here...should I just go for the...

    I7 920 (1st Gen) OC @ 3.6 Ghz looking for upgrade

    I am getting second thoughts about the 900D, it might be a little too big and too much for my needs. My reasoning for getting it is to keep it around for atleast 8 years or so and flexibility for future builds. I still have a day or 2 to change the case, should I change? I dont see myself...

    Skylake-E and its platform is atleast 2-3 yrs down the line, by my estimate of Intel's history.

    I7 920 (1st Gen) OC @ 3.6 Ghz looking for upgrade

    I switched the RAM to 32GB RAM DDR4 G-SKILL 2800 MHZ (F4-2800C15Q-32GRBB) Price remains the same around 2000 $

    I7 920 (1st Gen) OC @ 3.6 Ghz looking for upgrade

    I guess its the brand experience, I have had very good experience with Crosair, and it will backup me up when I overclock. I still have time to switch to G.Skill, but I have not heard must about this memory? whats its background etc. EDIT: I just might go with Vengance...up it to 3000mhz speeds

    I7 920 (1st Gen) OC @ 3.6 Ghz looking for upgrade

    Ye full tower, keeping everything else, GPU ( 670 Gtx), PSU and HDDs/SSDs. Also dont want windows....if they cant be avoided, I will just have to block them up, if the case excels.

    Also looking into cases, nothing to fancy looking but it MUST have protection/filters for dust.

    I7 920 (1st Gen) OC @ 3.6 Ghz looking for upgrade

    I have been running an i7920 for a long time now and finally think its time to upgrade, even though I have not been running into many performance issues. (Mostly gaming/Emulation) Was looking at the Haswell-E series and think a 6 core part should last me a long time like the I7920. I already...

    HDTV as PC monitor

    disabling all picture processing is a feature for me :), makes it more PC friendly. You can disable overscan on the display or are you doing it through the video card settings?
