In Windows 10 build 1803, Microsoft made some kernel changes related to hardware timers that broke a lot of device drivers and caused high latency on many systems. Ever since then, Sound Blaster Z /...
I plan to upgrade to Ryzen soon. I'll take care of it then.
This release was updated today to include support for Ryzen 3000 series.
Final version (1.0.0) is out now... brings a lot of improvements and fixes.

Stress testing unstable PCs from within Windows always posed a risk of corruption to the OS registry and files. But now, thanks to Linpack Xtreme for Linux and the lightweight Porteus Linux, you can...
With version 0.9.3, AMD Ryzen users can now bake their CPUs like never before. Thanks to .vodka from AnandTech forums for beta testing.
Latest version *should* use AVX on Zen (don't have the hardware to verify).
The GFlop measurement is based on the problem size (RAM used).
Try running it with all available threads, or per real...
v0.9.2
- Added several optimizations for AMD CPUs.
- Improved multithreading efficiency for the benchmark.
- Fixed insufficient memory error on 32-bit systems.
- Updated CPUID HWMonitor to...
Yes, at least for AMD CPUs.
Glad to hear you got it sorted.
Systems crash with the new Linpack 2.5x times faster than Prime95.
There's an option somwhere in the registry regarding display driver timeouts.
No way to turn off AVX. Just stress with the case open, or even better, reduce the OC to a level where cooling is sufficient. Some games (and their DRMs) also stress the CPU.
Linpack is a lot more stressful than Prime95.
Depends on supported instruction set by the CPU. AVX-512 too.

Linked below is a database of modified BIOSes for X58 motherboards patched with the latest microcode (0x1F for Westmere, 0x1D for Bloomfield) against Meltdown and all variants of Spectre. Make sure...
For compatibility reasons, Microsoft designed IE10 to run in 32-bit mode by default - and unlike its predecessors - there isn't an obvious option or shortcut to launch the 64-bit version. It took us...
Yesterday, AMD released Catalyst 12.10 and Catalyst 12.11 Beta. It appears that both drivers don't support Windows XP. In fact, XP isn't even listed in the Catalyst 12.10 release notes. This could be...
Microsoft has issued a response:

Other sites got a DMCA notice from Microsoft too: BetaNews, gHacks, PowerArchiver, Technize.
Now we have Microsoft employees insulting us publicly on the Neowin's forum and trolling our comments' system.
hahahahahah
