Legit Reviews

Thanks! I used to do interviews and this made me remember why I enjoy them!

Legit Reviews was recently able to get a Lisa Pearce, Intel Vice President, Platform Engineering Group Director, Visual and Parallel Computing Group Software Engineering, to sit down and talk about iGPU and dGPU graphics drivers. Intel recently announced that they will be bringing a discrete graphic...

Odd, send the board over to me and I'll take a look. I got a couple of those boards in the closet that are brand new, so I got you covered. (unless it's a bad CPU)

Legit Reviews was recently contacted by Shenzhen Youkeshu Technology to see if we’d like to review their ELEPAWL EP6 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones. We like to cover new companies to keep the content fresh on the site, so we figured we’d give Youkeshu a chance. Read on to lear...

Amazon.com has 240GB Kingston A1000 PCIe NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive (SA1000M8/240G) for $44.99. Shipping is free

The SM2262EN controller is physically the same as the SM2262, but uses a different firmware build that greatly improves performance. With new programming and caching algorithms, the SM2262EN specifications have been bumped up to 3500/3000 MB/s for sequential read/write performance and up to 420k IPO...

I'm old and still like using the BIOS/UEFI for overclocking 95% of the time.

Looking good and can't wait to see some benchmarks at 4Ghz or whatever you get it up to.

Samsung is entering the Thunderbolt 3 market today by unveiling their first-ever NVMe-based portable solid state drive (SSD) – the Samsung Portable SSD X5. The X5 series features speeds of up to 2,800 MB/s read and 2,300 MB/s write, making it an ideal portable storage device for content creators, en...

Gigabyte / Aorus is well known for their reliable motherboards and video cards. Like most companies, they are slowly diversifying their catalog branching into other markets; today they are expanding their product line into memory. http://www.legitreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Aorus-RGB-DDR4...

Today we’ll be looking at the HP SSD S600 2.5″ SATA III drive series. HP has been really making a name for themselves in the SSD market over the past year and the HP S600 was recently launched to cover the entry-level SATA SSD market. The HP SSD S600 is available in just two capacities – 120GB for $...

Have you tried removing your storage drives/optical drives and clearing the CMOS? The lighting control should work without the OS drive on there. If that doesn't work then I'd recover the UEFI with Q-Flash. If you need to force the board to use the backup BIOS you can always manually do that - http:...

Nice, how do you like Ryzen so far?

Not good on the LED lighting. I'm sure you already know all this, but just to double check. The latest BIOS for the Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 motherboard is F23d - https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-AB350-Gaming-3-rev-1x#support-dl-driver Odd you can't change the LED lights in the BIOS. Never ...

I think it was the heatsinks on the motherboard (VRM), but when you manually turn off the power regulation and overclock the 2990WX... Sutff starts popping and making all sorts of fun noises. Never ever had that happen. I've had PSUs scream under heavy load, but never pops from the board.

Today, AMD introduced the first 32-core desktop processor for the consumer market with the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX 32-core, 64-thread behemoth. This processor is the successor to the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-core, 32-thread processor that was released just last year. In just one year we are...

Hopefully you have something new to tinker with!

Let me and everyone still around here know how that goes.

I don't think other drives will drop in price much because EVERYONE is going to be releasing QLC drives. QLC drives will be good for mainstream drives, but they are not for power users or enthusiasts just yet. 96-layer QLC NAND is coming here shortly and that is where QLC will really take off I thin...

Today we will be looking at the world’s first consumer SSD to feature QLC (Quad Level Cell) NAND Flash. QLC NAND Flash once seemed so far away, but Intel is rolling out the SSD 660p drive series today. The Intel SSD 660p features an SMI controller with Intel firmware optimizations and 3D 64-layer QL...
