You can enable developer mode in Chromebooks and then install a Linux distro running alongside Chrome OS, using crouton or similar. It is also possible to modify the firmware to dual boot arbitrary Linux distros ("RW_LEGACY"), and even turn the...

IgorsLab indeed warned against using any of these long-term, but said there can be a specific scenario where one makes sense. He tested the lubricant for up to a work day (8 hours) and it was fine. Mind that it is electrically conductive and take...

Case in point, here is Puget Systems' comparison of AMD and Intel CPUs in productivity: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/AMD-Ryzen-5000-Series-CPU-Review-Roundup-1962/ The 5800X beats the 10900K in the vast majority of benchmarks, and...

Presumably because the target group for x8/x8 is ready to buy an ATX case.

Yes, ASRock Rack X570D4U and X570D4U-2L2T. There are also some TR4 and LGA2066 µATX mobos that support x16/x16 even.

This can sometimes be caused by broken ICMP Path MTU Discovery. Either the cable modem or some other node is overzealous when filtering ICMP traffic. Other explanation is broken IPv6. Generally you should contact your ISP customer support and...

The ASM2812 is mentioned right there in the Newegg product description. Also it allows to arbitrate PCIe bandwidth between SSDs, rather than a fixed PCIe lane split. In addition, if your use case includes virtualization, they may have...

There are even other materials besides thermal paste that you can use and will give ok results... https://www.igorslab.de/en/heat-conducting-paste-against-food-cosmetics-and-miscellaneous-lubricants-in-test-with-unexpected-outcome-practice/...

Those dual NVMe add-in cards that have a PCIe switch are expensive. Your linked one contains an ASMedia ASM2812. The simple ones which do not have the switch are cheap. But they require host support for PCIe bifurcation.

If they're in stock the best value is Arctic P12/P14 PWM PST 5-pack they are usually around 30-40 dollars. Scythe Kaze Flex 120 PWM, Thermalright TL-C14, Phanteks 120MP and 140MP are also good value if you want to spend a little more.

AnandTech are under NDA for all the information they got through the Intel briefing, and that includes the Gear 1 and Gear 2 mode. Also they are under NDA for the mobo, so cannot disclose anything about it. AT chief editor said it again in the...

Compared to a Noctua NH-U12S the CPU will run a few degrees hotter and 200 MHz or thereabouts slower with the Cooler Master 212. The Noctua NH-U12S is already enough to not throttle even with all power limits removed (see chart at 7:12) Arctic...

If you want µATX and X570, then your choice is basically the ASRock X570M Pro4. It will run the 5950X ok at stock. In case B550 is ok, the Gigabyte B550M Aorus Pro-P and the MSI B550M Mortar are good mobos for the 5950X even when overclocking...

Reviewers will not tell you even when pressed for it, because of the NDA. But they are aware of the default 2933 MHz limit for Gear 1 on 11700K and they know how to override the default...

kirbyrj Reviewers are aware of Gear 1 vs. Gear 2 mode. It is configurable. But they cannot yet talk about it due to NDA. Source

That would mean you need to limit the total size of your game assets to the minimum RAM spec, ie. have pretty low quality assets. In any other case you would need a strategy how to preload assets and/or discard unused ones like today. The fast...

That's all still limited by current storage API. Direct storage is a new set of API for storage, which is designed to reduce IO overhead. Additonally, RTX cards will be able to handle the compression and decompression, rather than doing that on...

wandplus You can buy the Ryzen 4300G, 4600G, and 4800G at OEM parts resellers, but the prices are quite high. The Ryzen Pro 4350G, 4650G, and 4750G are OEM+SI and you can buy them in many shops here like normal tray CPUs. If they are not sold in...

What? Cyberpunk is absolutely riddled with pop-in and in your face LoD transitions. Direct Storage ought to work pretty well with the mid/high tier PCI-E 3 drives. I'm willing to bet that most games you won't be able to notice a difference...
