    Question Bitrate issue...

    It could be that Windows is running some other program in the background. If these drops occur an a regular basis, like every half hour or hour you could go through the Task Scheduler and look for some task which runs at that interval. It could be something like Windows Edge checking for an...

    Crucial's superfast 2TB T705 Gen 5 SSD is back down to its lowest-ever price — Grab one of these drives for the ultimate gaming PC build

    I wonder if this means that they've decided to bring the Micron 4600 to the consumer market, not just OEMs. Will be interesting to see where the Micron 4600 goes from here.

The primary objective is to mount the radiator in a way that avoids getting that air into the pump and damaging...
