    Question AMD Radeon 7900 XT

    I think returning it was your best recourse. You spent a lot of time trying to make it work and deserve a better outcome. Hopefully the nVidia will work out.

    News Snapdragon X Elite beats AMD and Intel flagship mobile CPUs in Geekbench 6 – Qualcomm's new laptop chip leads in single- and multi-core tests

    This is pretty exciting but very preliminary. I dont think we will see competitive mid-range laptops with these chips for a while and only if Qualcomm keeps at it.

    Discussion What we used to see VS. What we now see in reviews.

    Following GPU reviews closely for about 1 year now, I think they are usually about as effective as they can be. The market is saturated with just too much of the same. It is just pure lunacy that there is a product for every $50 increment. I feel like nVidia opened the door for this when they...

    Question Sleeping computer destroys the CPU!

    After putting a new system together a few months ago, I noticed that occasionally after the pc went into sleep mode that I could not bring the screen back without unplugging and plugging back the hdmi cable. May be unrelated, but can you rule out that this was perhaps the cause? I ended up...

    News Outpost: Infinity Siege' devs ask 13900K, 14900K owners to downclock their chips to prevent crashing

    Appears to be game specific. The solution seems very clear to me.

    Question Possible to fit a fan in this open area on my case?

    Seems like you can put a couple 70mm fans in there. Just make sure you can use the connectors on your existing headers ( pin and voltage). If the opening is high near top of case, just make sure you don’t spoil another fresh air intake or hot air outtake, such as if you have fans on top of the...

    News Half of Russian-made chips are defective: Baikal struggles to meet Russia's demand

    Maybe I am just paying attention now, or the AI craze is making these stories good news, but I love how the engineering challenges around chip manufacturing is exposed. I could only hope that it also ends up providing some strategic advantage to a nations ability to remain secure from threats.

    Question 4080 super getting the same FPS as 3080ti

    Others likely correct. The GPU may show near 100% usage, but the CPU cannot complete its instruction sets fast enough.

    News Intel confirms Microsoft Copilot will soon run locally on PCs, next-gen AI PCs require 40 TOPS of NPU performance

    i am concerned as all others, but maybe prematurely. Maybe MS and Intel won’t push AI in all apps such that they are crippled without it. Will AI be fundamental to office functions, web browsing or gaming? I am really hoping not because AI would be the final straw in having a company embedded...

    Question Old vet getting back into gaming! need help pc build please

    If you go top 3 intel or amd CPU, you should not experience significant CPU bottleneck for a few years unless new games over that time have such AI dependence that everything is uprooted and demand for new cpu architectures blows up. But honestly, it wouldn’t be practical to wait, if there are...

    Question 27inch size

    You have described my situation as well. If you have the GPU, it would be worth your while to leap to a 32-34 with good specs. Thats what I am currently doing. My 27 is an IPS locked at 60 Hz :/

    News Intel Core i9-14900KS Review: The Last Core i9 Hits Record 6.2 GHz at Stock Settings

    Most people would throw more juice at their processor for performance, if it could handle it. Overclockers are notorious for employing extremes for moderate gains. Is there really anything to complain about here, it’s just a niche product that Intel “could” make happen. We are already being...

    News New AIO radiator testing reveals lead and other substandard materials — Caseking halts Barrow Dabel product sales in response

    Is this a case about where they are made or is it a case of over reaction since lead in this capacity shouldn't be toxic to the people around it?

    News MSI details how to make your Intel CPU run cooler without losing performance — recommends disabling CEP

    Apparently the "k" SKUs already benefit from disabling CEP. I couldnt find it in my ASRock bios, but I noticed they posted a beta update as well with the fix.
