Amazon Fire TV not working on RCA LED52B45RQ

I just got a 2nd hand RCA LED52B45RQ 52" HDTV for free. This TV is from 2012 and is in great condition. I'm trying to get an Amazon Fire TV working on it, but so far am having no luck. (Actually, I've tried 2 Fire TV's, one 1st gen and one 2nd gen -- both behave exactly the same.) Here's what...

Safe i7-8700 CPU Core Current (Amps)

Sounds nice. Those temps are really good for that OC in FFT.But I'm assuming you're using a massive tower heatsink to achieve that. My problem with this build is that I'm limited to 45mm max on the heatsink, so I'm using a Noctua NH-L9i, which is just 37mm tall including the fan. The entire heat...

Thanks! I used it also and it worked fine.

Safe i7-8700 CPU Core Current (Amps)

How are you stress testing? I've gotten very different numbers depending on the software and test used. P95 Blend maxes around 70C while FFT can get to 100C, both 100% CPU utilization. Are you using a fixed vcore? When using turbo, fixed vcore doesn't work and I have to use a vcore offset...

Safe i7-8700 CPU Core Current (Amps)

XTU proved to be very useful indeed. I was able to see the default settings set by the motherboard for the TDP throttle limit and current throttle limit and when either type of throttling kicked in. I was pretty surprised by what I saw. Default current throttle limit: 255.500A After some...

Safe i7-8700 CPU Core Current (Amps)

Thanks for the replies guys! I ended up finding what I was looking for in the datasheet, page 110: ICCMAX, 65W Hexa-core GT2 = 133A So 133A is the max. I'm pretty sure it's going past that based on my tests above. :confused: HWInfo64 is what I'm using to monitor this info and unfortunately...

Safe i7-8700 CPU Core Current (Amps)

Does anyone know the safe maximum current (amperage) limit of a Core i7-8700? I cannot seem to find this information in the Intel datasheets. I'd also like to know the default value. I'm trying to undervolt an i7-8700 processor to reduce heat because of case size and constraints environmental...

DailyTech

True. Hopefully they'll start writing more news themselves. But I'd rather see the front page dead than filled with click-bait trash headlines.

DailyTech

I'm so glad to see DailyTech finally gone from Anadtech's sidebar. I've come to AnandTech for many, many years, and read DailyTech for many as well because of it, but the constantly dropping quality of click-bait, sensationalist, and increasingly paranoid (Rense-level) personal-opinion...

Windows 8, How To End apps from metro UI

Quit: #1: Mouse to the top of the page, click and hold for a second, drag the screen to the very bottom of the window and release. Similar with a touch screen, touch at top edge for half a second, drag to bottom edge of screen. #2: Hover mouse over upper left corner then move mouse directly...

Cortex A15 Benchmarks

Oh come on. That's just playing with words. They need to use the best PowerVR offers. NVidia and the others don't offer anything that compares to PowerVR's high end AFAIK. If they do, nobody has chosen to use it. I specifically said Intel is doing a half-baked version using a single-core...

Single core. Of course its slower. PowerVR's core count goes up to 16.

Cortex A15 Benchmarks

It's been done before. Sony PS Vita uses SGX543MP4, the same GPU in the iPad 3. The CPU part is different, but that's fine. Other SoC makers need to get PowerVR's in their SoCs. Not that hard. Intel is doing it, but even they are doing a half-baked version with a single-core PowerVR slated for...

Cortex A15 Benchmarks

Finally some Nexus 10 (Mali T604) benchmarks! http://www.anandtech.com/show/6426/ipad-4-gpu-performance-analyzed-powervr-sgx-554mp4-under-the-hood Mali T604 performance is utterly abysmal. I'm shocked, yet I'm not. Par for the course. And it's got to push more pixels than the iPad with a...

Windows 8 multiboot sucks

Mine did that at first. If you set Vista to your default OS, it will use Vista's bootloader which is a whole lot faster and doesn't do a full reboot when you boot Windows 8. Now you may not want Windows Vista to be your primary, in which case it wouldn't work for you.
