I wish I had seen this earlier yesterday. Last night I purchased an iPhone 15 Max Plus for over $2,000 and ordered an iPad Pro Max with cellular for an additional $2,500. Last night I canceled my iPad order and later this morning I'm returning my iPhone. I deal with seven figure plus financial...

Personally I prefer my cables they provide that "Motorhead" look and add style and flair, and for many that like RGB can certainly add an incredible light show. I've seen the ASUS prototype HERO boards and geez what an incredible rats nest mess on the backside! Still with all the power cables on...

If I were a Taiwanese company I would be diversifying outside of Taiwan. When China finally gets enough gusto to reclaim Taiwan, it's going to bring the chip market to a dangerously low volume like what we saw during COVID-19 or worse where companies literally are stopped in their production...

Everyone from a Elon Musk to the CEOs of Intel, AMD, Cerebras, and every AI system that's a contender .. (CUTTHROAT) .. want the machine of Nvidia+ OpenAI to stop in their tracks .. (SO THEY CAN CATCH UP!) It's like the Gold Rush to California and people are willing to do and say anything to win...

While I'm certain you spent a lot of time testing these M.2s, synthetic tests are pretty meaningless to consumers and real world use. No different than GPU testing and only publishing synthetic results. The following from Tech Power Up is an example of some of the best testing I've seen from...

Nice review but the "Con" of high MSRP retail prices is a little misleading. The Samsung 990 Pro 1TB is listed on Newegg for $69.99, the 2TB is listed for $134.99 and the 4TB isn't in stock yet anywhere. I would imagine the 4TB costing somewhere less than twice the 2TB. The real world difference...

Did anybody bother the check to make certain this is not an ES sample?? More than likely it is an ES sample. Most ES samples are down-clocked, buggy, unoptimized and often 'nerfed' with functions disabled. When you have a retail sample in hand let me know...

I clearly read it which is why I mentioned it. He needs to know he's leaving performance on the table. I can't imagine any place in Africa where you can't get DDR5 especially if you can get all the other stuff and DDR4.

You're leaving a lot of performance on the table with many tasks not using DDR5. Last year when the prices were sky high and availability practically zero AND with slower speeds DDR4 made some sense but not today. DDR4 is EOL (End of Life). As far as a 13th gen CPU on a 12th gen chipset more...

From Windows run CPU-Z, open the Mainboard (tab) and in the middle your BIOS Version is listed. No there's nothing bad or damaging to re-flashing your BIOS to the same version. However, be careful to read the manufacture's prerequisite for upgrading to a newer BIOS. Sometimes there's a sequence...

Sad times. It was a great company. However, if you go to their website, nearly everything's out of stock. New power supplies only have three year warranties and even their peripherals are sold out. After they lost some of their key employees, it's game over.

My initial observation is the Apple Vision isn't an "AR" per se, it's a VR with a simulated AR overlay. The glasses are not see-through with a e.g. translucent OLED. I'll certainly try it but I'm not holding my breath and I have no desire to be a long-term Beta user... '][/URL]

LOL so would properly seating the connector. The 12VHPWR connector can easily carry 3x or more power and still not fail. Again search .. PCIe melting .. look at the images. The excess heat is caused from improper seating and resulting from arcing. The 'RTX 50' series might add a second...

That is not true. I don't know where you got that information from. Instead the reason that these problems still crop up is because people have not magically gotten any smarter in the last few months. Search "PCIe melting" .. there's nothing new about this and it'll never go away because people...

Seriously did you think this through? Basically every effected governmental, corporate or any notebook with critical / private information needs to be replaced and shredded.

If I were Nvidia at this juncture, I would even slow down production to consumers even more. Right now with AI, it is paramount that Nvidia focuses all of their resources for data centers. As a stockholder, I want Nvidia to prioritize profits and by far not even close, it's more profitable in...

The most glaring real world use case that buffogels my mind that no one wants to test apparently are for the Streamers that use a single solution PC; 6-8 cores are used by the game and remaining cores at least on Intel's monolithic die can be used for applications like OBS, mixing, etc. plus...

Here's my issue and a nutshell, basically no one who's purchasing a $600+ CPU is running 1080p so the results are simply misinformation and you could make arguments for 360p. Further, Intel can easily support DDR5 8000 or faster RAM so tell me why Intel should be handicapped to match slow AMD...

I'm confused about the data and trying to add or modify testing over different periods of time and different conditions makes the results questionable at best. For example, Arctic MX-5 has been pulled from production whereas Arctic MX-6 is its replacement but is missing?! Any variance within...

For starters I own the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Extreme, and last generation I purchased both the Hero and TUF Z690 variants. So the valid question would be why? People get singularly fixated on irrelevant things like the expense, and I'd point out that both the current Hero and Extreme Z790's are...

I'm sorry but "Best" means "Best" and not some socially correct version with last year's models and older chipset or some convoluted value rationalization scheme. The current Best LGA 1700 motherboards are: ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Extreme, MSI MEG Z790 Godlike, Gigabyte Z790 AORUS Master, etc...

I find it interesting, however, that such great lengths of negative press against Nvidia were pushed by so many technology news sources. In comparison, this issue has been relatively swept under the carpet. The trolling against both Nvidia and Intel is out of control. I don't think I've ever...

How so?? The roughly 50 cases of the melting connector were from all user error from not properly plugging in their GPUs. Worse melting still occurs with regular PCIe connectors. No this is an AMD reference design failure causing significant cooling issue that significantly retards...

Trifecta of problems here .. RX 7900 XTX Reference: Horrific Coil Whine and Poor power management Often unplayable ray-tracing frame rates Blender and other 3D and video processing software rendering times are often painfully slow The reference AMD hopefully is not carried over and some of the...

That won't change the number of lanes. Example the "1.1, 2.0 or 4.0" are power states. Here's my RTX 3090 just doing nothing, note the PCIe 4.0 x16 (1.1) and it's on an Z690 which is also PCIe 5.0. So the question is a GPU-Z Z790 reporting bug, an ASUS BIOS bug / setting or even an RTX 4090...

Umm I know ... I said "my RTX 4090 has a PCIe 4.0 x16 Bus Interface. " The issue is the GPU-Z reporting of PCIe 4.0 x8 on an otherwise PCIe 5.0 x16 MOBO when in fact it's the equivalent of "PCIe 4.0 x32" in actual bandwidth. So I'm trying to determine the underlying reporting problem(s). There's...

My copy of GPU-Z (version 2.51.0) reports Bus Interface as "PCIe 4.0 @ 8x." First my ASUS ROG Extreme Z790 has a PCIe 5.0 x16 Bus Interface and my RTX 4090 has a PCIe 4.0 x16 Bus Interface. Correct reporting should be PCIe 5.0 x8 which is equivalent to PCIe 4.0 x16 in bandwidth. Yesterday I...

Everything that I've read and seen so far suggests the root problem with the 12VHPWR connector is the people plugging in the connector improperly. In other words, user error. So AMD corporate to make any unfounded comment is just going to backfire on AMD especially when they adopt the ATX 3.0 /...

Then you probably didn't have a curved screen. <1800R or less is the solution. If you want the screen in your face then an 800R curved screen.

I haven't posted in years .. just got in the mood and zoomed in on CoD. No Monitor is going to cure low FPS. However, all I play is CoD and I have the Alienware OLED & my old 32" Acer VA panel 2560x1440. In FPS games it's about Visual Acuity and not Visual Accuracy. In other words .. seeing them...

@peachpuff .. yes and no. Compare speeds and capacities DDR4 5333 $300 16GB 2x8B kit vs DDR5 5200 $300 32GB 2x16GB kit. However, yeah DDR5 is going to be extremely expensive for the foreseeable future. I got my hopes shattered on an ASUS ROG Glacial Z690 with a $2K price tag or nearly double...

I used FileDropper - http://www.filedropper.com/h61m-vs210rom

The only slots with locks are your RAM and full-length PCIe slots. In the first (3) pictures the 'blue' RAM slots and the PCIe where the GT 620 is and there I see the curved PCIe release just past to '0' in the '620.' In the 4th picture it's the white lever at the end of the yellow PCIe. There...

Chipsets make a sizable impact and the overall reliability from robust components and cooling. Even if you don't OC the third-party chipsets, NIC and phase design only add to the overall stability and life of your system. IF you do decide to OC and at some point those with an unlocked CPU 'will...

Ideally use the top blue PCIe slot on your MOBO and make certain that the GPU 'snaps in and the PCIe lock is fully engaged. If that fails then try the black PCIe slot below. AFAIK the R7 250 draws all of its power from the MOBO's onboard power and if for some reason your MOBO isn't supplying...

I purchased a 2014 E350 for my daughter and you want to compare it to a Hyundai?! Okay they both have 4 doors, 4 wheels, trunk and a hood .. end of comparison. Once you get behind the wheel and drive it out the parking lot you'll quickly realize the differences, not to mention if you have the...

Someday I'll figure out 'why' you guys use some of these oddball resolutions.Please try: 1920x1080, 2560x1440, 2560x1600, 3840×2160, 5760x1080 and maybe a lower or common sub-HD e.g. 1366×768 or 1600×900Thanks! :)
