    For those of us who aren't 13-year olds borrowing mom's credit card but likes PC gaming

    Hahaha, that's the best and most correct description I've ever heard of ASUS ROG design style 😃 Now this here is really interesting and worth diving into! This is also a very important consideration for me, in particular as a dual-booter - I expect that for gaming peripherals, all...

    For those of us who aren't 13-year olds borrowing mom's credit card but likes PC gaming

    I LOVE the aesthetics of that mouse and have considered getting it for productivity tasks, but I'm specifically looking for a mouse that is great for gaming. I just found the Razer Pro Click which is the only mouse I've found that looks to be great at playing games while still rocking a pretty...

    Question Adata SX8200 pro 1tb - Slow read speed

    I have this same exact problem. I have two of the ADATA SX8200 Pro 1TB drives sitting in my Gigbatyte Z390 Designare's M.2 slots, both of which run on PCIe 3 x4. I also have a dedicated graphics card, a PowerColor Radeon RX, 5700 XT Red Devil with an extra overclock and much higher power limits...
