Ikr, people are getting too worked up over marketing. They tell you it's a gaming card, so you are just gonna follow that like it's the law? Use it however you want to. I do 3D rendering and a 3080 Ti would make my life a lot better. I know some people using these cards for deep learning...

Today as I was using Google maps it made a beep and there were a on screen text box filled with some long message, I could only catch the fact that my email address was mentioned towards the end, what could the message have been? Is there a place where I can see all of Google Map's messages so...

Are there any delicate components inside a power supply such as the EVGA G3 650W that are sensitive to heat? I put a hair dryer on low and pointed it at the back of my power supply, around 4 inches away and blew at it for a few seconds. Couple I have damaged something?

RT cores are supposed to be very fast at ray tracing, but this raises so many questions from me. According to wcctech, "A single RTX 2080 Ti is 10x faster than a 1080 Ti in AI and 6x faster than a 1080 Ti in ray tracing" If this new technology offers 6 times the ray tracing speed, why is it not...

Today after I took my laptop(a surface book) out of my bag that's previously in sleep mode, it was very hot. When I opened it up, the screen would not turn on so I held down the power button and forced a restart. After rebooting, it started a Windows update, which took about half a minute...

According to benchmarks, an A12 performs similar to an i7 7700K. People often say benchmarks aren't accurate, but why? In the end, didn't the A12 manage to perform calculations as fast as an i7 7700K? Anyways, if I were to run a Blender animation render on the A12 and the i7 7700K, would the...

Why is it that the Ryzen 7 2700X is 105W while the Ryzen 7 2700 is only 65W but both are within 10% performance of each other? I heard people overclock their 2700 to perform like a 2700X, but how is that possible if their power consumption is so different? Shouldn't the extra power for the 2700X...

My motherboard (Asus prime x470 pro) does not come with an addressable RGB 3 pin header. What are some ways to control my addressable case and fans? Is there any adapters or controller hub that can connect to a USB header?

Should I install and connect my power supply first (switched off) so that I can touch my case to ground myself? What are other ways to ground myself, I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment?

I want to buy some Trident Z Royal 3000 MHz 16GB x 2. I heard that the trident Z Royal supposedly uses Samsung B-die, but there are also reviews saying that this particular RAM is so cheap they cut corners and actually used Hynix. Is that true? Here is the RAM...

I will be likely using a 12 core CPU and overclocking it, so I need a motherboard suitable for that. I will be mainly doing rendering and gaming, and have RGB lighting support.

What does it mean if a motherboard contains the word "Carbon", "Pro", "Plus", "AC", and what does the F mean in Strix B350-F?

how well will a 12 core Ryzen such as the Ryzen 7 3700 with 12 cores and 4.8 GHz and 95 Watts run on my Strix B350-F gaming motherboard? I've heard it is not really good for overclocking or large CPUs. Also, would a Ripjaw V 2400MHz RAM be good enough? I will be doing 3D modelling, video...
