    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    The problem stems from the fact that, as demonstrated by de8auer's video and described by Buildzoid's video, on the GPU side, there is no way to tell if 1 or all 6 of the 12v2x6 wires are carrying equal amounts of power because on 5090, Nvidia decided to combine all 6 inputs into one on the PCB...

    NVIDIA May Aim For Up To 16 Generated Frames With Multi-Frame Generation Tech In Future DLSS Technology

    As things are today, this is a race to the bottom. The FPS numbers will go up, but the experience will drop proportionally to the number of added frames. The marketers will ignore this, of course, as they already have for the 5070 slide we saw recently saying it had the performance of a 4090...

    Gigabyte gaming mouse allegedly goes up in flames

    No RGB on this model of mouse? Then, nope, not buying it. It's BS. There is no electrical component at that end of the mouse. The only thing there might be a metal weight if anything and a screw holding the shell together, plus the non-friction pad. It's mostly empty space inside a mouse...

    Those of you who have built more than once, what motherboard manufacturer(s) is the best in terms of longevity?

    Agreed with Dan's big post above. MSI and Gigabyte have improved over the years to the point that they are top of the line along with Asus in my view just by watching forums and Youtube accounts and looking at overall trends. That said, Asus isn't perfect, either, as Dan points out. Asrock...

    I wonder if Corsair put the wrong cables in the box. Was it a brand new PSU or a refurb?

    Choosing the game of the year from 1981 - 2023 and beyond...

    1986 for me would be Starflght by Binary Systems. I spent way too many hours playing and finally beating the game, all on 5-1/4" dual floppy drives on the original IBM PC. The gameplay was unique at the time, being sandbox-like, and the ending floored me when I finally realized what was going...

    Did you flash the latest BIOS? Newer BIOS might have better support for 7800X3D.

    Old UPS batteries (APC SUA 1500)... where do you source them?

    UPSes designed with SLA batteries in mind are constantly charging (float charging) the battery because that's how you keep SLA batteries healthy and ready to power the load for the longest period of time (talking lifespan of the battery here, not uptime while on battery). Other battery...

    Bizarre Noise Issue

    What if you take a full screen snapshot when FF is making the noise, then shutdown FF and just view the screenshot full screen. Do you still hear the noise? If the answer is yes, then it's the pixel colors/dithering/patterns that FF displays that is causing the noise. If not, then maybe it is...

    Confession: I like to steal things

    OK, I guess I never clicked on it to see who the seller was. I apologize for making a false statement in my previous reply.

    Confession: I like to steal things

    horse Your original post did not include the name of the seller or a link to the eBay item. That is why you received those replies. If you had included the item link originally, we would have seen the seller was Adorama and congratulated you on what might be a great deal instead of words of...

    Slightly messed up packaging for an HD-return or keep?

    The plastic did exactly what it was designed to do: crumple under impact load and protect the drive inside. It's fine. Install it and use it.

    Solved (approved for RMA): Unbearably Slow PCIe Gen 4 NVME Speeds

    Partition alignment issue? 512 byte vs 4096 byte sector size issue? I have no idea what else could be if the problem follows the drive to another system.
