[H]ardLY Overclockable
[H]ardOCP has only managed to get 1 in 4 new Kaby Lake 7700K’s up to 5GHz.
A sad state of affairs for the high-end overclocking crowd.
Since GWX Didn’t Work Well Enough
Microsoft wants to remind you that Windows 7 support ends in three years. Better install Win10 before then.
“Windows 7 comes slowly into the years. Today, it does not meet the requirements of modern technology, nor the high security requirements of IT departments.”
Maybe so. But it works just fine for me and comes without all the hassles of Windows 10. We will discuss it again in 3 years. Maybe.

Game Mode
Teased again. Just a simple mention with no details.
Speaking of which. Not a single person has recommended a tweak for the game only tweak guide. đ
In researching for the Game Only tweak guide I’ve come across several Microsoft articles referencing a whitepaper called:
Windows 10 Processor Power Management – Algorithms and Static Configuration
I’m usually pretty good at hunting down stuff but this one eludes me.
If you can find it please let me know.
I decided to go ahead with a Game Only tweak guide. This will be a down and dirty, operating system only, advanced users only , and probably NSFW guide.
In prep I spent several days setting up, benchmarking, and tweaking.
I thought I would tease you with some benchmarks.

Win10 To Improve?
2 stories caught my eye today:
Microsoft To Provide Additional Windows Update Installation Options With Creators Update
and
Microsoft is working on a âGame Modeâ for Windows 10
The update thingy sounds like MS will put a button in to enable this tweak.
The Game Mode thingy is interesting but no details. Coincidentally, I’ve been considering a Game Only tweak guide.
Would anyone out there be interested?
The Tweaker
This is the best Steve Jobs article I have seen.
I’ve never been a fan of SJ so I’m not quite sure how I feel about the articles title.
Creepy
Facebook Doesnât Tell Users Everything It Really Knows About Them
IMHO this article doesn’t even scratch the surface.
TV Malware
This man’s smart television with Google TV caught some malware, and now it’s bricked
“…installed an app of some sort to stream movies.”
Lesson: Don’t be surfin’ for free naughty videos on your TV.
Carrie Fisher, Our Princess, Passes Away
She was beloved by Geeks and non-Geeks alike as the character Princess Leia. Like so many of you I am saddened by her passing.
