    News Samsung's 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 DQHD Gaming Monitor Hits Preorder for $2,200

    i mean, i reserved mine... My gaming monitors died a while ago and had to drag out a monitor from 2008... it still has VGA on it. I was going to buy the LED version, but since B&H is offering $50 off and a $250 B&H GC, i figured the price wasn't that far off. It says shipping in 2 weeks, so its...

    Tom's Hardware Member System Gallery

    So after 2 months of waiting on parts; My newest build is finally complete; It is based on OptimumTech's NR200 water-cooling build, but with a lot of updates and changes that makes the build more relevant and cooler (pun intended); For those that want to see the video its here: View...

    News PCIe 4.0 Card Hosts 21 M.2 SSDs: Up To 168TB, 31 GB/s

    This is ideal for a VDI server; So 20k isnt that expensive when you start looking at the cost of SAN's;

    Review AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Review: AMD Retakes Gaming Crown with 3D V-Cache

    Thats why i said they could use the CPU profile, which does not use the GPU at all. From my experience, when you use the CPU profile, it pretty much maxes out all your cores; Since CPU's will start coming with AI accelerators built in, i think it would be a valid test.

    Review AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Review: AMD Retakes Gaming Crown with 3D V-Cache

    I would like to see some new tests included using AI engines; You could run something like REALESRgen to upscale some anime videos or something; Granted, if you have a 4090 you are using the GPU; but there are CPU options as well;

    News Aorus Gen5 10000 1TB and 2TB SSD Full Specs Revealed

    If this is the answer by manufactures, then i predict this will be the death of the M.2 slot; Time to move u.2 or u.3 to the consumer market like they did for SATA (from SAS).

    Question New Fanless Low Profile Cards?

    i have a lenovo m720tiny ryzen5 velcro'ed to the back of the tv and thats more than enough. Never hear the fan. The newer ones are even better; Currently i have mine connected to a 65" 4k LG OLED with HDR; Normally you can pick them up for about $500-$600; I found this to be cheaper than...

    News AMD Announces Ryzen 7000X3D Pricing: $449 to $699 Starting Feb 28th

    sigh, another month to wait; I have all the parts waiting in my computer room for my new build except the cpu, cpu water block and gpu.... I might break down and just get a non 3d if magically a bunch of asus 4090's show up; but it doesn't seem that is likely either.

    News Titan RTX Ada Quad-Slot 800W Cooler Reportedly Leaked

    I think at this point you just make it water cooled (AIO or waterblock) only; That heat sink probably costs more than what a water block (non AIO) would cost and then some.

    News AMD Sets Launch Date for Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs

    I think you just need to move.... or get a dog; Its not going to be super tiny, I kinda settled on the NR200 case; Im going to try and fit 4 rads in there; There are much smaller cases, but unfortunately i ordered a strix 4090 2 months ago (still on back order) and that wont fit in most of the...

    News AMD Sets Launch Date for Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs

    I mean my current machine is a giant water cooled monstrosity that weighs so much i cant even move it; This time i wanted something small that i can just hide behind the monitor and not even worry about it;

    News AMD Sets Launch Date for Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs

    the AI stuff is just a hobby; Im just trying to learn how to train AI to clean up videos and stuff; It works really good for old anime; but now i want to see if i can train a AI to clean up old NFL footage by using new footage as a training tool; Problem is training a AI take days, sometimes...

    News AMD Sets Launch Date for Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs

    I have been following a YouTuber Optimum Tech, who does builds like these: I think the key is that the 4090 exhausts out the back, not inside the case, so technically the cpu and gpu are in different heat zones. Here is his mitx 4090 build with a 5800x3d; since the new chip is in the same...
