    Should you buy a used graphics card?

    Yeah, with all the melting issues we've heard about of late, I certainly would not risk buying a used 4090 or 5090. I wouldn't buy one new either! 😁

    Should you buy a used graphics card?

    In mid-June of 2023, I was looking to complete my custom PC build with a GPU. The one I wanted was an ASUS TUF 4070 Ti, but it was hard to find in stock at the time, or way overpriced when I found one. I kept checking around and finally found one on Newegg for $700. An open box that was sold and...

    News We tested the Nvidia App performance problems — games can run up to 15 percent slower with the app

    I have an ASUS 4070 Ti, and I recently installed the new app to try. Here's my early experience so far. I have gotten an occasional stutter while playing Battlefield 2042 (only game currently playing). They are brief, and do not happen often. May happen once or twice during a match, and then I'm...

    News Inside Micro Center's new North Carolina superstore

    I wish I had one near me. Would love to be able to walk around in one of those stores. I'd be in heaven! I live between Savannah & Jacksonville FLA and there are none anywhere close to me. There are 2 locations up around Atlanta, but I ain't going to Atlanta unless I absolutely have to! :p

    Question Ryzen 7600X Voltage & ECO Mode ?

    Hello eveyrone, Are these voltages normal looking to y'all? I see the CPU Core Voltage jump to 1.352V at one point. I know it will occasionally rise during demanding applications, just seems concerning. I have NOT overclocked. Everything seems to be running fine and all, just concerned about...

    News Noctua Releases Blacked-Out chroma.black CPU Coolers

    Great looking coolers! I have the Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler cooling my Ryzen 7600X and it does a fine job. And it's very quiet! A little pricey at $130 US dollars, but I splurged after hearing all the talk about the new Ryzen 7000 CPUs getting toasty. I...

    News RTX 4090's 16-Pin Connector Melted After One Year of Usage

    Do we know if any other RTX 40 series GPUs are affected? I purchased an ASUS TUF 4070 Ti back in June and a Corsair Premium 600W PCIe 5.0 / Gen 5 12VHPWR PSU Cable because it just looks better than that stock cable that comes with these GPUs. I don't recall seeing any 4070 Tis being affected...

    News IKEA Computer Chair Static Might Be Blanking Your Display

    I was having an issue with my Alienware 38 inch monitor's screen briefly blacking out, and still don't know for sure what was causing that, but I haven't seen it do this again in a couple months or so. Maybe it was my desk chair causing that. Wonder if ESD can damage the monitor? My thread on...
