    Going to do my first WC system, looking for suggestions

    Thank you for the reply :) Indeed it's just a bit of bling but it will also help for directing the push of hot air out of the case and to eliminate the high pitch fan noise on the chipset some reviewers noted. -- I don't intend to OC, just run the internals of the system as close to ambient as...

    Going to do my first WC system, looking for suggestions

    First off, sorry if this is not in the right location :) I'm looking to build a compactish build with my first custom loop but saw that EK doesn't have a monoblock for the motherboard I wanted to use and was wondering if anyone on here had suggestions. I'm looking to build a system based on...

    Marvel Uploads a New Avengers: Endgame Trailer

    Well... I saw a few scenes that were slipped in that could potentially kill a few theories out there. One theory was Ant-Man got caught up in the quantum realm and tossed back in time - Potentially debunked when he is seen looking at all the missing people posters Another theory was Clint took...

    Senate Report: Equifax Accused of Failing to Prioritize Cybersecurity

    Ahh the joys... this is one of those times you want to say let the turtles eat them starting at the toes... however that would be cruel and unusual punishment for the turtles.

    Microsoft Begs You to Stop Using Internet Explorer

    Another hat in the bucket for websites that won't work with anything but Internet Explorer are State & Federal websites, especially those on the employee side of things. To make matters worse getting them to do stuff like re-signing Java Applets so newer versions of Java work, or even so they...

    SoftBank Dumped Its NVIDIA Stock

    No way! LoL with wod spreading saying they underestimated the reliance on cryptominers for card purchases, I wouldn't put it past any company "Nvidia in this instance" attempt to release a new cryptocurrency via a third party that could only be efficiently mined via their latest generation...

    Most Customers Would Stop Watching Netflix if it had Commercials

    There would be one and only one instance where I wouldn't mind Netflix inserting some advertisements... If Netflix starts to simulcast Tv shows without requiring you to have a Television service provider along with your Netflix subscription I wouldn't mind them having advertisements during a...

    Waymo Expands Its Self-Driving Vehicle Operations in Michigan

    Honestly I think some of our roads out here in Michigan would require the team in charge of the mars rover to train the car to avoid the potholes big enough to eat a car that you can find easily.

    Star Control: Origins Is Available for Purchase on Steam

    Honestly I would highly suggest the MegaMod project over the HD remix as it's constantly being updated still. https://github.com/Serosis/UQM-MegaMod/releases I can honestly see both sides to it, they gave Star Control II to the fans, and worked with many who had since that point became...

    Star Control: Origins Is Available for Purchase on Steam

    I quite enjoyed the game and have about 170hrs into the game, however yes I am a Lifetime Founder and had access to the Alpha + Beta. TBH it's a really good solid game, but like most Stardock games I've played it only really starts to shine once a few patches/dlc hit it. Sadly the rabbit hole...

    TSMC is Working on Quantum Computers

    Ouch that shows just how little I know about the Quantum Computing architectures and fall into the group of those who just generalize things. Either way D-Wave's input could be helpful in the long run. Also if you want to see part of the internal workings of the D-Wave "Quantum" computers...

    TSMC is Working on Quantum Computers

    Wait... did I miss something, did D-Wave go belly up and no longer offer Quantum Computers? If IBM could get D-Wave and other key players into the fold that could potentially bring Quantum Computers to power users years if not decades earlier than if just TSMC and IBM go it alone.

    Intel Has a Big Problem. It Needs to Act Like It

    Honestly I'd love to say Intel should replace any CPU requested via RMA process with the same chip that's a v2 without being vulnerable to Spectre or Meltdown as long as it's still within the standard manufacturer warranty period. -- Also make it a no questions asked swap, as long as the chip's...
