    News Lexar's latest SD 8.0 card is too fast for its own good — potentially DOA since no current devices exploit the card's 1,700 MB/s speeds

    That's not how it works. The minumum speed under continuous use is what people actually care about. As long as that is better (IE nearer the maximum sustained speed of the device), then I don't care at all if they advertise by the theoretical maximum transfer speed. Look at M.2 devices. You...

    News Cooler Master bundles free 27-inch 240 Hz gaming monitor with 850W fanless power supply — X Silent Edge Platinum 850 goes up for preorder at $399

    I'm thinking its going to be pretty difficult to have a fanless PC that can actually use anything near 800w peak. You would be talking a massive radiator or two. Easily 30L each. Maybe a thermosiphon? But I've never seen one used fanless, or on a GPU. And then you need to eliminate coil...

    Question PC Shuts down itself when I tried to install Windows ?

    That is a 4-core, its possible one of them is bad. If there is an option to turn off Multi-Core, see if it boots on one core only. Then you can get Windows installed and use it. Once windows is installed you can edit the boot (run msconfig program)to enable 2 or 3 cores and go back to BIOS and...

    Question Laptop stuck in "ThinkVantage Active Protection sensor diagnostic restart. /"

    That is a nice machine. You can get a T430 motherboard for $20. The RAM and CPU will swap over. The DisplayPort will be a Mini Displaport and the Keyboard keys will not be correct. You can do an EC patch (available on GitHub https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec) There is a patch...

    [SOLVED] Expected performance gain from overclocking CPU by 10%

    If you are bulding from scratch get a 12th gen Intel, a 12400f is going to destroy a 3600x for half the price. Everyone is correct. CPUs are heavily binned and use all the cooling they can get. Meaning they overclock themselves for the most part with a good cooler and enough power. Making...

    Question Gigabte A320 input lag on usb ports!

    I have had this problem and I solved it by getting a USB extension cable so the signal gets to the receiver better. Mice and controllers are not USB 3, putting in the blue ports will not help . Try searching for USB extender, even an inch or 2 might help a lot. Edit: you say when loading a...
