    Do you use Light mode or Dark mode?

    Always dark mode in everything its available. I have dark mode setup on my vehicle's infotainment system and my phone as an example.

    Asus not done with ROG 20th anniversary - ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20

    I'll buy expensive motherboards, but this is ridiculous.

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    I'm a pretty simple man and don't enjoy the RPG mechanics shoe-horned into most games now. I didn't find the game overly complicated in terms of walking around, shooting and that kind of thing. I was able to figure out ship piloting at a basic level pretty quickly as well.

    What could be wrong with my brother's PC?

    You do you man. I wouldn't do it. I've also NEVER needed to do so in order to clear a CMOS or fix any issue. I've literally repaired multiple thousands of computers and I've never seen a scenario where that would have made any sense.

    What could be wrong with my brother's PC?

    I realize that. But it isn't safe to power up a motherboard without a CPU in it unless it supports doing so. A lot of boards do NOT support this feature. The boards that do are the ones that have the ability to perform BIOS updates without a CPU or memory installed.

    What could be wrong with my brother's PC?

    Do not do this if the board doesn't support BIOS flashing without a CPU installed. Not every motherboard supports that feature. It requires a specialized ASIC to be on the motherboard. That costs money. The lower end boards typically don't have that capability.

    How many hours per week do you game on average?

    It really varies. There are times where I might game 8 hours or more in total and plenty of days where I don't game at all. It just depends on what's going on that day. I have pretty narrow tastes when it comes to games. I don't play that many different games but what I do like I'll play a lot...

    I remember reviewing the original back in the day.

    Tear-Down of Rare ATi HD 4870 X2 Prototype & History

    I had two of these and couldn't ever make 4-Way CrossfireX work. At one point, AMD tried helping me out and I was sent one of these very same engineering samples with BIOS updates to try and sort out the issue. I never could make it work so I sent that card back and just ended up returning both...

    2 stick of ram versus 4 stick of ddr4 ram

    It is because DDR5 is essentially dual-channel in itself. So dual channel at the board level is effectively quad-channel.

    AMD quits

    AMD used to cannibalize its successful divisions to support businesses it wanted to be in, but wasn't good at. They had a bunch of "failing upwards" CEO's there for awhile. Credit where its due, AMD has turned around since Lisa Su took over.

    5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

    This is the way.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. I liked the previous entry in the series but the fact is this one was developed during the worst period to develop such a title we've ever seen. Without getting too political, the industry has been an absolute shit show and I'm not convinced this one...

    Nice. I got a couple months of game pass for free with my new laptop.

    7900XTX shuts down entire PC with Adrenalin 26

    I don't know why you'd even try to run a 7900XTX on a 500w PSU if the one in your signature is correct. Be that as it may, yes. Drivers can definitely alter power curves of GPU's. The transient response can be shit on high wattage supplies. My old RTX 3090 killed a Corsair AX1200, ROG Thor...
