MemTest86 already has a rowhammer test, not sure how it compares to blacksmith but some sticks I have do fail that test and can only be mitigated by setting tREFI extremely low (wh…

Yeah, that looks correct. With faster ram and PBO it should hit closer to 1800. Here is my 5600x with PBO enabled and 3800MT/s CL16 DDR4 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/105162…

That's certainly overclocked or very high PBO offsets, at stock the 5800x gets around 1700-1800 ST.

Single core is similar to the 5900x but multicore is more in line with 3900x. Quite impressive for a laptop, I'm sure the power consumption will be much higher compared to the M1 b…

Same. Doesn't hurt that they were $50 on sale. I've had them for over a year with no issues.

Sandy-E to Haswell-E i7's do not officially support 128gb, though there have been reports of it working. Broadwell-E i7's now officially support 128gb. All the Xeon equivalents (e5…

Currently, no. 1. Apples EULA does not allow OSX on non-apple hardware. 2. Some major updates can break customizations and require some modifications (bootloaders, etc) to be re-in…

That is your experience. A properly set up Hackintosh (with a custom DSDT and the proper kexts as needed) can be as reliable as a genuine Mac. Regarding Windows machines, I've had …

Any time I buy a used board I check the board carefully for any kind of modification or odd looking solder joints and re-flash the bios/uefi with the latest version. Of course some…

I'm not sure why they even considered P4's, the pre-prescott P4's don't even have Speedstep. That means they run full voltage/speed all the time which is terribly inefficient. Core…

Core 2 Duos and Pentium Dual Cores under 3ghz are fairly energy efficient chips (~65w) and they use Speedstep, etc to keep power consumption low at idle. Of course newer dual cores…

I can assure you that it does work. Not sure about 340f though. I baked a Nvidia GTX470 at 390f for 10 minutes and it eliminated the artifacts/crashing and has been working fine fo…

60fps here (3.4ghz Core 2 Quad/GTX 470/Firefox/fullscreen 1920x1200). CPU usage is 9%, GPU usage is 22%.

You can undo in Android, just not with the stock keyboard. Try out A.I.type Keyboard. It may not be the best solution as it should be built in, but it does work. http://img833.imag…

Interesting, but it seems like it is dropping frames all over the place. I suppose it would be good enough for presentations but not for movie or game use. I suppose with later ite…

If you are using Windows you might want to give Pale Moon a try, on my system it is much smoother than the official Firefox/Aurora/Nightly. Pale Moon feels as smooth as the officia…

Exactly. I have a 64gb SD card and a dedicated battery charger with three extra batteries. As lame as it might seem I just keep a spare battery with me at all times when the unexpe…

USB Overdrive works well too. X-Button Mouse Control is probably the best on Windows.

Did you try something like X-Mouse Button Control? It works great on my MX518 so I don't have to use the terrible Logitech software to configure the extra buttons. :)

1. The only shots with a shallow DOF are the macro shots, this is standard for any point and shoot or modern phone camera. 2. Agreed. But it seems like a lot more post-processing w…

Which is why I prefer the Nexus video. :)

I honestly don't think it looks better. I am a fan of "proper" color balance, not cross processed type filtering (instagram, lomo, toy cameras, etc). And I think the OP's is defini…

Gingerbread fixes some of the "lag" issues with the partly GPU accelerated UI, mostly noticeable in the notifications pull-down menu. Opera Mobile (GPU accelerated), with a decent …

Sony had some great CRT monitors. I had two IBM P275's (Sony G520), I ran them at 2048x1536@75hz they worked great for years, the colors/black levels were amazing. Eventually they …
