    Review Samsung 49-Inch Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor Review: Big Screen, Big 1000R Curve

    If you can't see the edges then you are either WAY too close to the monitors or you have poor field of vision. Im sitting in front of two 27" right now and even if I close one eye I can still see both edges when looking directly at the center.

    News This $1.50 Bracket Fixes All Your 'Sticky' AMD Ryzen Woes

    Probably also depends on which specific compound you use. The heating "trick" may work for some compound, but like yours in my experience it tends to stick regardless. I can usually get it of with the twist method but I don't understand why AMD hasn't done anything about this themselves. In...

    News Upset Investors Accuse Nvidia of Masking $1 Billion in Mining GPU Revenue as Gaming

    I remember back when this was going on seeing some GPUs specifically for mining, as in they had no video output.
