    News Technician Repairs Hundreds of RTX 4090s With Melted Power Connectors Every Month

    When Nvidia came out and said it was user error that caused the melting they basically gave AIBs a blanket to deny fixing melted cards under warranty. Physical damage is never covered under warranty unless it's proven to be a manufacturing defect. Also using third-party or modded cables voids...

    News Xbox Series S Suffers from VRAM Limitations, Just Like 8GB GPUS

    If things go on like this, by 2025 even the Series X and PS5 will have problems due to only having 16GB of VRAM. It seems new developers didn't learn memory management and allocation, and with DirectX 12 it's gonna get worse.

    News AMD Can't Beat Ada, So Brags About Old Ampere Comparisons

    Lame marketing campaign. This is not how to sell your cards. AMD needs to have an identity for their GPUs to win mindshare like they did with Ryzen.

    News Cyberpunk 2077 RT Overdrive Path Tracing: Full Path Tracing, Fully Unnecessary

    The built-in benchmark does a poor job of showing the difference between hybrid rendering and Path Tracing. You can easily notice the difference at the beginning of the game, especially when you get Dexter's quest (i.e., get in his car and talk to him about the bot quest). It looks night and day...

    News Cryptominers Target AMD Ryzen CPUs for Their Big L3 Caches

    Eh, it's nothing to be worried about. How many CPUs can you stack on a single motherboard? The cost of a decent motherboard with quality VRM, a high-end CPU and a solid cooler vs. a single GPU isn't worth it. Besides it's a huge waste of space. This will fall flat like CHIA coin.

    News Better Linux Gaming With Steam and Proton

    That's exactly what I did after trying Linux. Most beginners install Wine wrong, given "why it's not working" is the most common question you find online. Doesn't help that most Wine installation guides are incomplete. You have to dig to do extra commands that makes it work for older games, and...

    [SOLVED] All fans spin but PC won't boot up

    Just to give you an update, I ended up changing my PSU, and my problems are completely gone. As soon as I replaced it, my PC booted up normally and I couldn't be happier! I hope the same works for you, mate.

    [SOLVED] All fans spin but PC won't boot up

    I know, I know. Tons of this specific question are on the Internet. It's quite common. However, I just want opinions or thoughts on the matter. Alright. So, as the title says, my PC doesn't start up. When I push the power button on the case, the case LEDs light up, CPU fan, exhaust/intake fans...

    I Have to push power button multiple times to start PC

    Is it an old case? If yes, then it's neither of them—Your case's power button is aging and getting heavy just like any other button in any device.

    PC BUILD vs Acer Predator Helios 300 please help

    IMO, GTX 1080 and Ryzen 5 1600 are both superior to GTX 1060 and i7-7700HQ unless you are playing at 1080p (way more FPS won't make any difference in gameplay). If I were in your shoes, I would get that build. Instead of that SSD, I would get this...

    Ryzen 7 1700 and 1050ti single fan

    Try to re-install/seat your GPU, and check if anything is stuck inside the fans. How did you know that the GTX 1080 was dead?
