    News Samsung outlines plans for 3D DRAM, which will come in the second half of the decade

    Well its just a copy of HBM planar die stacking, but interpolated to traditional dram. And this "3D" stack definitely will give performance penalty. Because its a still, MULTIPLE DIE`S stacked on each other. And I ain't see that 3ds memory on consumer market, only some examples on server market...

    News Samsung outlines plans for 3D DRAM, which will come in the second half of the decade

    Well i talking about consumer market here, the Vega 56/64 is an single HBM based cards on market for years (if we don`t talk about Radeon R9 Fury X), and they are all mostly dead because of dead memory that you can`t replace, and yes, ability to repair is the point too. Consumer grade hardware...

    News Samsung outlines plans for 3D DRAM, which will come in the second half of the decade

    HBM is not a true "Stacking", and have nothing similar to true 3D, scince planar (2D) chips are just soldered on top of each others and those memory is highly unreliable (nearly all Radeon Vega 56 and 64 are dead now). High density DDR packages are still planar memory. And so its still share...

    News Samsung outlines plans for 3D DRAM, which will come in the second half of the decade

    Well, 3D dram, will make 128 GB+ consumer dimms possible? It will definitely lower the price of dram in future, as 3D technology made Nand so affordable and reliable. Plus it can give more potential to make dimms more compact without performance penalty.

    News MSI Z790 motherboards reportedly failing with cracked PCH chipset — a manufacturing error may have affected a few hundred units

    As electrical engineer, i can tell that ~100 degrees C, is kinda OK temperature for N-channel MOSFETS. Since their rated working temperatures are up to 125-150C (depends of structure). And only way here to lower the temperature is: Lower the switching frequency (modern PWM IC are smart enough to...

    News MSI Z790 motherboards reportedly failing with cracked PCH chipset — a manufacturing error may have affected a few hundred units

    Well, that's all still a typical DOA, and i guess amazon its just a crappy place to buy PC parts (i don't have it in my country either).

    News TSMC resumes chip production following biggest earthquake in 25 years — incurred no damage to its critical tools

    Well, if that's true, chip prices will not spike up and we will not have an crisis here. I guess. Good job tsmc. But what about other manufactures that located in Taiwan?

    News MSI Z790 motherboards reportedly failing with cracked PCH chipset — a manufacturing error may have affected a few hundred units

    BTW, i guess i found way how they are destroying PCH. Maybe some users being uncareful and just jam GPU into PCI-E slot with force. On this and on other mobos with big rad on PCH, you can apply extensive force to one side of PCH radiator very simply, when you jam GPU into slot you can press GPU...

    News MSI Z790 motherboards reportedly failing with cracked PCH chipset — a manufacturing error may have affected a few hundred units

    Test any new hardware for DOA before assembly, just put it together outside the pc case (put mobo on cardboard box, install ram and cpu, put cpu cooler and connect the psu) and do a test boot. If it works - there is nothing to worry about. Just carefully put it inside your case and test again...

    News MSI Z790 motherboards reportedly failing with cracked PCH chipset — a manufacturing error may have affected a few hundred units

    I have high doubts about this post and "defects", the post on MSI forum is related to bend CPU socket pins, but its not related to PCH Defects. YouTube video (reported a similar failed BOOT process)... well its can be anything, single CPU debug led shows that PCH is working fine, because CPU...

    ntoskrnl.exe DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error [maybe solved]

    deleted msi soft, seted fsb to 100.06 mhz (overclockers recomend this to stabilase system), still no errors
