I never trust benchmarks companies provide you without the ability to check 'under the hood' to ensure everthing is above board. To do anything less is just naive. As for Charlie and his reporting. His fall from grace has been obvious for all who know anything about tech. bit_user and Jarrod...

This whole debacle makes me sad. I love custom water cooling my rigs niche as it is but EKWB has lost my buisness for the foreseeable future. They were pioneers back in the day and now they have become a poster child of what not to do. I hate to see a niche market like custom water cooling take...

Glad to see this was addressed quickly. Hopefully this will be the end of instablity issues for intel. I look forward to someone posting some test results on a previoisly unstable cpu (looking at you Jarred...hope this helps you).

LOL I was thinking along very similar lines. I got a 7950X and my wife has the 7950X3D. I only went with AMD because I was tired of Intel builds (previous 3 PCs for us each) but AMD hadn't been competitive enough to get our business with Faildozer to justify an AMD build in years past. Coming...

LOL neat trick since we are in 2024 now. For boot drives have gone all SSD for awhile now. But for bulk storage, not so much. Until I can buy an SSD with 20TB for under 400 dollars...there will always be a need for HDDS and their spinning rust platters. We have 120TB in both my and my wife's...

I don't disagree. The issue I have is Irdeto swears up and down Denuvo doesn't impact gaming performance but I have yet to see solid believable and testable evidence to the contrary. It doesn't help hacked copies compared to ones with Denuvo still properly implemented do appear to run faster...

By proven...I believe he meant that it does hinder performance. So popular belief and fact do actually line up....thus his follow up with Callisto Protocol link which showed performance gains with the removal of Denuvo. Maybe I read it wrong but that was the way I took it. And I couldn't agree...

I have been waiting for this to happen. Regardless of whether you approve of the sanctions, the constant compute lowering tactics by both sides is getting a little old. Why make a standard for manufacturers to follow, have them comply only to lower the processing power bar again so its new...

I could be wrong but I took it more as it easier/likely they'll their 'old' tech, in one fashion or another be it intentional or not. Humans are creatures of habit. I would expect there to be some small tweaks to 'existing' tech to add better performance or in an attempt to avoid a lawsuit but...

Yeah I was impressed with Intel's first attempt even if I wouldn't have touched one of their GPUs with a ten foot pole due to being a 144hz 4K gamer. And your dead on the money that Intel needs to kill the rumors they are leaving the dedicated GPU market. As you said they need to commit. They...

I think it would be as great setup to emulate the DS and 3DS/2DS systems. I really love seeing modders create neat projects like this. I look forward to seeing more from him in the future.

100% I am running 120TB worth of drives. Incorrect cabling frying all those would be a seriously expensive endeavor for something that would not have been my fault, had I been him. Regardless it is good to see EVGA step-up and do the right thing here.

My experience has been extremely good. I am not crash free but for a launch title the fact I haven't had more than a single digits worth of 'crash to desktop' issues, I call it a huge win. I am running Horizon FW on a 7950x, 64GB of ddr 6000 cl32, 2TB NVMe drive powered by a 4090 with maxed out...

Looks like an interesting piece of tech. Not sure as is as I'd want more SATA cause I could see me combining a router and NAS but that only works if you have the IO needed which this board lacks. Now give me a board like this with 8 SATA ports, a 4-8x PCIe slot so I can add more later if the...

Hadn't caught this piece thank you. I do some dietary changes that I am not always good about, vitamins that I am great about and we do screen me frequently enough. Plus their age timed medication changes and a few other angles they work to limit your risk exposure but the stats against me and...
