Stability

Hello! Do you think that the numerous recent rumors purporting Arrow Lake instability (for example: https://www.xda-developers.com/arrow-lake-reportedly-has-instability-issues/) are valid and truthful? Do you think that would be an impactful negative or that with microcode revisions all will be...

Do you think that Arrow Lake would curb down the heat of 14th gen? (especially in the higher-end segment) I think they are trying to create a better architecture overall. 14th gen seemed like the Pentium 4 PresHOT era all over again. Sure the chips are powerful but they do take in a lot of...

Hi. I have an Intel i7-13700K CPU and a Noctua NH-D15 cooler. Running prime 95 stress test makes the cpu hit 100 degrees according to HWinfo, and thermal throttles, which is expected based on what I have seen in reviews using the same cooling as me. I don't mind because I just use it to game...

First post here, a year and a half after building my first PC. Late at the party if you want my honest opinion.

Can you join two sata data cables together to make a double length one with an extender and will it still work as well without any possible problems? Is it getting near to the maximum length, what is the maximum length (without getting too close to maximum to risk loosing data)?
