Think I only owned Linksys and Asus routers.

Same, with the exception of one D-Link that was solid, the DIR 655 I think it was. The Netgear experience was the worst of them all.

When my ASUS router died i decided to give Netgear a shot and so far it's been very good.

My father who is very particular tech purchases liked this one so much he went and bought 2 of them.

I got one myself from Frys for $169.99 with a promo code.

Its a beast.

i5 6 core rumored to be $299. And I don't have to swap mobos... May do that if true and heat issues fixed.

If true, hopefully the motherboard manufacturers will provide BIOS updates for support on Z170 boards.

They will I'm sure, my Z170 had an update for Kaby Lake support before it was even released.

TechSpot: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 vs Intel Core i7-7800X: 30 Game Battle!






Only 1FPS average difference from the 7800X across 30 games, significantly cooler with less power consumption. $199.

Tired of explaining this Yes its a win but the chips are clocked almost 1GHz higher.

Yes it will draw more power.

It just shows that 4C @ 4.0GHz is where it starts. Hate how most sites cherry pick. It is a terrible story, Intel shtt the fckking bed but don't cherry pick 1080p benchmarks where we know DR kicks in for gaming.

I am loving it, have to disagree there.

4GHz Ryzen 6 core with the same FPS average and minimum's across 30 fricking games is WOWWWWW.

I love when these legit sites test TONS of games instead of cherry picking a few to make one or the other look better. HU and TS dropping the boom with some serious testing. Love seeing it.

quote:

Ryzen will hit 4GHz with the box cooler but it will be a more mild experience with a $20 aftermarket cooler like the Cooler Master 212, so keep that in mind. The 7800X on the other hand cannot be overclocked to 4.7GHz using a 240mm AIO closed loop solution. Instead, it required a $380 custom loop setup to achieve that result.


L O L at high end custom loops required JUST for 4.7GHz on a 6 core and HU still suffered a burnt contact to boot.

I think it is super cool.

The coolest packaging for a computer part that I ever owned came with my MSI 780 Lightning years ago. Came in a really nice black lacquered box.

That looks terrible.

I wonder if it tries to steal your wedding ring when you pick it up.
