    News E-paper hits 75 Hz to better suit productivity tasks — kits in two screen sizes go up for pre-order, starting at $199

    75Hz E-paper is damn impressive. I'd be happy with 30Hz honestly. I see a few E-paper phones popping up lately and I'm just waiting for something small with an adequate refresh rate.

    News Chinese workshops recondition Nvidia's old flagship gaming GPU for AI — RTX 2080 Ti upgraded to 22GB for $499

    Cool to see old hardware getting a second life... ...Painful to see bare boards stacked haphazardly on a wood table.

    News Maxsun has another wide "YTX" motherboard for Intel CPUs — Terminator H770YTX D5 arrives with backside connectors and DDR5-8000 support

    But does the Asus board have FOUR M.2 SLOTS?! Honestly think omitting one of the M.2 for two more RAM slots would have been a better use of the extra space but to each is own.

    News Asus' low-profile RTX 4060 still takes up two slots, but its shorter shroud fits more easily into SFF builds

    Gigabyte has had a 4060 near identical to this day 1. Nice to see other AIBs making low profile variants. It is a very power efficient card, so it makes sense to make versions with smaller coolers for the SFF realm. Also makes for an affordable alternative to the RTX 4000 SFF.

    News Intel releases new Arc drivers optimized for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, several DX11 games

    Now if they can just get idle power consumption under control, I’ll be a happy camper. My A750 is still pulling 40-50w sitting idle on the desktop…

    News Modder Runs Coffee Lake CPU in a Kaby Lake/Skylake Motherboard

    But if 8th and 9th gen would work on a 6th gen board, People wouldn’t buy more motherboards for the newer generations! /s Engineering e-waste is more profitable. I’m very surprised to see 14th gen CPU compatibility for 12th gen boards. Hope to see more of this in the future.

    News Acer's First AMD GPU, the Predator BiFrost RX 7600, Arrives for $274

    I am a fan of this hybrid cooler design in concept. Curious how well it performs / what dB it hits. Benchmarks should be interesting.

    News Where to Buy Nvidia RTX 4060 GPUs: Links and Prices, All Custom Cards

    Just an observation: Gigabyte seems to be the only AIB at this point with two HDMI ports on the 4060. Nvidia only requires one HDMI, but its still interesting that no one else including Asus offers anything other than 3DP/1HDMI.

    News Intel Discontinues Arc A770 Limited Edition GPU

    Kind of a shame. I got my hands on a A770 LE before a friend installed it in his rig. The build quality is top notch. The heft and clean design of the cooler makes my 3070 look/feel like cheap Chinese trash. Too bad the performance couldn’t catch up, or I may have picked one up myself.
