    News Lexar's latest SD 8.0 card is too fast for its own good — potentially DOA since no current devices exploit the card's 1,700 MB/s speeds

    A while back I tried looking up these kinds of cards and only found 1 real review. The card got to 100C during the test. No wonder they're so hard to find, they're a safety hazard. review.

    News Ancient CRT monitor hits 700Hz — resolution compromised to just 120p to reach extraordinary refresh rate

    If you look at it as pixels per second, 1920x1080x60 is 4.6x 320x120x700. Not including the porches, but even then I would doubt the 700Hz is significantly more scanning than 1080p60. That's why this CRT gimmick works at all. The dongles may not allow it even if the DAC update rate is the same...

    News BitLocker key sniffing is still possible on modern Windows 11 laptops with discrete TPM modules

    Pcie can still be sniffed. It seems that the real solution is secure board design. Running the traces on the innermost layers to mitigate emission is step 1. ICs are harder to probe than test pads, but still probable, so using a fine pitch bga with a glob top to prevent snaking mag wires would...

    [SOLVED] Do I now need an adblock just to use this website?

    I wanted to read an article on tomshardware. I know how crazy that sounds, so it was no surprise when I couldn't because one of those "scroll to continue" ads popped up. Problem is, it didn't let me continue with my content. I used a thing built into my phone to get a scrolling screenshot of the...

    Discussion Community Questions: Do You FreeSync or G-Sync?

    I have a gtx 1080 and use a 4k display for image editing and stuff. I got it when 4k@60 was the most you could have in a monitor for under a few grand. For some reason my control panel doesn't allow me to turn on freesync even though the monitor supports it. I posted on the nvidia driver forums...

    laptop screen colors all weird, fixed when pressing the bottom bezel, completely borked or just needs a cable wiggle?

    laptop is an acer aspire v3-572G-54L9 (please note that there is a v5-572g, this is the v3, I do not know why they named it like this) This has been going on for a while now, a few months maybe longer. My cell phone camera is sMaRt enough to correct everything so the photos aren't the most...

    New FiOS Router, NAS's no Longer Accessible With Explorer

    Today we got a quantum router (with 5ghz, oooh ahhhh) and I just did a standard setup, plugged all the things that used to go in the old one into the new one. The NAS's are showing up on the router, and they show up over http, but no longer show up as computers in explorer's network tab (however...

    Hyper 212 evo minimum fan speed?

    never mind, I found the answer. There was something on the spec sheet, the number is off from what the result is so that threw me off.

    Hyper 212 evo minimum fan speed?

    I have speedfan able to control my sys fan in the back of my case. It can go off if I set it to, and on if I set it to. For my cpu fan however, even with the setting at 0% I'm still seeing ~750 rpm. This seemed to me like it couldn't control the fan at all, but when I set it to 100% the rpm...

    SSD slowing down even when mostly empty

    I may still contact Crucial, but after unmapping the network drive I was able to login 3 seconds faster, back to how it used to be. Such a simple fix, thank you very much. As for drive speeds, just look below, first is before garbage collection second is after Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1)...
