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

    I have a small business that uses computers heavily, and I also have 5 desktops at home for my family. I am usually building or upgrading 2-3 machines per year. I had used Asus up until about 2015 and had a board with some USB issues. I then replaced it with my first Gigabyte board and found it...

    7800X and H115i

    It seems that my water block is just barely contacting the CPU. I pulled off the black and the thermal paste had only made contact on about 2/3rds of the CPU.

    7800X and H115i

    Lucasfilm Sues Operator Of New York Jedi And Lightsaber Academy

    First, it is kind of silly to be able to trademark such a simple logo, which anyone could whip up in a few minutes, but for them to think they look the same is just lunacy. Hopefully the judge will toss this out a frivolous.

    Google Drops Free Fiber Option In Kansas City

    I live 45 minutes north of KC, and we pay $60/mo for 200Mb down, and 10Mb up. In reality we get 216/20. We paid an extra $5/mo to lift the monthly bandwidth cap too.
