    Stolen? Prototype of Missing Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Listed for $1,999 on eBay

    Looks like this listing went down the day the Tom's Hardware article was published. The item would have been bought by whichever competitor was able to put together a (relatively) untraceable payment first.

    John Linneman (Digital Foundry) "What I can say, because it was on DF Direct, is that I've personally spoken with three devs that implemented DLSS

    Once upon a time, a little girl found a corporation by the side of a river, crying. "Why are you crying?" asked the little girl. "Because [the corporation replied] I must cross the river, and I can't swim!" So the little girl put the corporation on her back, and swam across the river...

    RX 6750 GRE - Weird name, but likely a new mid range champ

    Always sounded like it wasn't coming to US in any case. I hadn't heard that memory was pared down to 10GB.

    Is there anything wrong with a 1933 fclk overclock?

    I've got an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G on an Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard, with 2x16GB G Skill DDR4 3600 CL16 (b-die). I use the apu's igpu for 1080p gaming, and I bought the G Skill to overclock, in order to optimize igpu/Infinity Fabric performance. Things are going pretty well, sort of. On one...

    Huge Memory Boost - AMD's next AGESA update's giving Ryzen 7000 fast DDR5 support

    Thanks very much for this, question answered.

    Huge Memory Boost - AMD's next AGESA update's giving Ryzen 7000 fast DDR5 support

    Is this AGESA update supposed to improve any AM4/DDR4 improvements? The promo materials mention "improved stability" without specifying AM5 and/or DDR5, but I don't see anyone talking about AM4/DDR4 improvements (or failures). I guess it's last-gen platform and components, but I'm still trying...

    New Asus BIOS 3202 - any experiences? Improved stability for RAM overclocks?

    I've found that, on my Asus Prime B550-PLUS, AI Tweaker settings are more stable than AMD Overclocking settings. That includes cpu and memory overclocks. Having said that, I haven't spent as much time with AMD Overclocking as I have with AI Tweaker. Honestly, I just want whichever one I use...

    Need help with RAM timing (G.Skill Trident Z5 2x48GB on ASUS Crosshair X670E Hero)

    As someone else mentioned, it may be labeled "DOCP" in BIOS. I've got a different board and socket (Asus Prime B550-PLUS, AM4), but I enter DOCP/XMP voltage and primary timings manually without issues. Should work for you.

    New Asus BIOS 3202 - any experiences? Improved stability for RAM overclocks?

    That's a very good point, I hadn't realized that this release is related to the recent AGESA update. Does AGESA include most/all of most AMD boards' Advanced settings, or is it just the settings included under AMD Overclocking (and maybe AMD CBS)? edit: I'm actually undecided whether to stick...

    New Asus BIOS 3202 - any experiences? Improved stability for RAM overclocks?

    I've got an Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G apu and 2x16GB of G Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 CL16. I've been working on overclocking the RAM, with 4000 as my target. The RAM passes 3+ hours of OCCT stress testing at 4000 (after getting through memtest86 at stock), which...

    Is Peanut Butter the Best Thermal Compound?

    Risks of unstable RAM/fclk overclock?

    I wish I had those timings! My Ripjaws are 16-19-19-39. Looser than those b-dies, but tighter than the Corsair. Thanks very much for timings btw. I'm still undecided about whether to tighten 3600mhz timings, or work to get 2000 FCLK, like I did with the CL18 Corsair, but with better timings...

    Risks of unstable RAM/fclk overclock?

    Thank you for reminding me about ratio, I keep forgetting about DDR. Sorry if I confused anyone. I did more reading about my new build (general AMD stuff + Ryzen-specific info), and went ahead and swapped the Corsair RAM out for 2x16GB G Skill Ripjaws V 3600 CL16, which is dual rank (if CPUZ...

    LG 27GL650F-B @ $199 for 27" 1080p? Inexpensive 27" 1080p alternatives?

    I've got a kind of niche need in terms of monitors. I just built a new, inexpensive rig with an AMD 5600G. I don't have a graphics card yet. I mostly play old games like SupCom 1/2 and StarCraft 2, plus newer ones like Factorio, at 1080p, and the 5600G's igpu does an amazing job of running...

    How to stress-test RAM/fclk overclock?

    It sounds like RAM/fclk stress-testing should involve simultaneous use of high-demand programs (e.g. 3+ hours of Prime95 Large FFTs and OCCT VRAM test at the same time). Is that how folks are testing their RAM/fclk overclocks?
