    FDA Chief Threatens to Take E-cigarettes off the Market

    Enforcing is a bit difficult on the parents. Vapes don't smell like cigarettes do, and the kids don't typically vape in front of their parents. :) If you have a middle-school kid, I would highly recommend talking about it now before its too late.

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    If that's the case, we're in for some very sad times in home desktop computing.

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    How are you going to cool it at 1.425? I personally wouldn't go over 1.3v.

    Overclocking i5-8600k - PROCHOT Throttling

    I understand that, but according to multiple different utilities, the CPU is not getting close to the throttle point, yet it is still throttling. I'm in the 80's for all cores and package, and it should only throttle at 100 degrees, unless my motherboard is reporting false info. I have a...

    Overclocking i5-8600k - PROCHOT Throttling

    You are correct. Vcore is 1.26. Typo. :)

    Overclocking i5-8600k - PROCHOT Throttling

    I have been attempting to overclock my new i5-8600k. Right now I have it set to 4.7Ghz with a Vcore of 1.26. When running Prime95, the temps on the cores and CPU package are in the 80's. I don't seem to be getting anywhere close to 100 degrees. After running Prime95 for about 5-10 mins, it...

    Uh Oh, looks like my i5-8600k is shipping from Newegg!

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    LOL. Microcenter has the 8700k for $499 on their website right now. Not sure if that is the actual in-store price or not. Anyone who pays that is a fool.

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    Based on rumors, I'm thinking that the i3-8350k may be the sweet spot for gamers. Should be a decent price, with 4 cores that have a base clock that should be higher than the 8600k or 8700k. Hopefully it will have some decent headroom to overclock since the boost clock in the 8700k is 4.7Ghz...

    Applying heatsink fins to exterior of metal case?

    Then you have no exhaust. That is your problem and the sole reason your case is so hot. All that heat is still in the case.

    Radeon 64 now on sale at the Egg

    You have it backwards. G-Sync monitors are a lot more expensive than FreeSync monitors. G-Sync monitors are usually $200+ more than a similar FreeSync monitor, so you're essentially paying an extra $200+ for similar performance (assuming MSRP on the video cards) if you want the...

    AMD RX Vega 64 and 56 Pricing Leaked

    It doesn't matter if they make mining only cards. The issue is that they wont be able to produce enough chips either way.

    Corsair Vengeance 1300 and 1500 Gaming Headsets Review @ [H]

    Watch out for corsair driver issues. Hardocp rated the HS1's really good as well, but had driver issues, and the one driver update was released that actually removed some functionality and had more issues. I believe these new headsets use the same drivers. Keep vigilant and don't believe...

    Batman: Arkham City Gameplay Performance and IQ Review @ [H]

    I've actually gotten pretty good performance with my Sapphire Toxic 6950 in DirectX 11 mode when setting Anti-Aliasing to 2X MSAA. Can someone please try 2X MSAA and see if it helps? Here are my settings: Resolution: 1920x1200 Anti-Aliasing: 2X MSAA Direct X Features: MVSS and HBAO...
