    Question High-end PC instant power off during CPU load - no blue screen

    Hi, thanks for reply.... AIO is at top of case venting out of top - so no problem with air trapping in CPU block if that's what you worried about - I've seen all those GamersNexus videos too ;-) The only other thing I can think of is I am running Fan Control (v175) with profile to keep machine...

    Question High-end PC instant power off during CPU load - no blue screen

    News Nvidia DLSS 3.5 Tested: AI-Powered Graphics Leaves Competitors Behind

    News Nvidia ACE Brings AI to Game Characters, Allows Lifelike Conversations

    Might get better but right now that was bad. Sounded like a 1980s Speak & Spell with all the emotion of an Action Man doll while speaking. They need to learn the old cartoon animation tricks where you have to "over-react" in terms of body language to things to make it interesting.

    Review Cooler Master HAF 700 Evo Review: Expensive Excellence

    I bought this case. Looks great, but is seriously pissing me off right now - lots of serious problems with it. 1. The front LCD panel ONLY works if you run some Cooler-master software which runs continuously in the background as a system service - CoolerMaster MasterPlus Technology Service -...

    Well I know no low paid factiory worker cares ever. But does their boss with direct contract with NVidia care? And would NVidia care to have a word with him? That's what I'd like to know!
