So.. I decided that I would try again* to make efficiency work better for me. here is trial 3. The problem for me was not that my performance was bad with stock settings... it was only that I did not get extra performance from overclocking. With my board, and I hear in general, NB is hard to OC with the Vishera.. which I think is a top CPU btw. so I decided to on a different strategy and will try to document it here for other members.

Analyzing content on the forum for bias and reliability can be an important factor in determining the amount of trust you should give to an article, thread, or even a post. It all boils down to figuring out the difference between an opinion and fact in content. Fact and Opinion An opinion is a particular view or belief on a matter that cannot be verified. For example, stating that AMD's HD 7970 GHz outperforms nVidia's GTX 680 is an opinion. This cannot be verified because the GTX 680 still outperforms the HD 7970 in certain games and applications, disproving... read more

Aside from fear, one of the excuses that I keep hearing from people as to why they don't want to build a computer is that it is expensive. They do their research online and get inspired by these stunningly beautiful computers, then they find out that they cost about two months paycheck and that's the end of it. I have been building computers for quite a while and it saddens me that people would shy away from building their own rig because of the price, when there are other avenues to secure the parts that they need. So where do you get cheaper parts? I am a cheapskate... read more
