I still have Swiftch Lok-Seal fittings in active use that I bought around a dozen years ago and their custom variant of the DDC pump lasted me till 2022. Turning to the main point... When I bought my first, and for a long time only, piece of EK gear a 400mm tall cylindrical reservoir, my...

I have a monstrously large CaseLabs TH10 case still in active use. It's so big that when I was first ordering it, I bought a whole bunch of extension cables to to reach a presumed need for extra length with the 24 pin, CPU 8 pin, and PCIe 6/8 pin cables. However, because this TH10 was ordered...

What's not made clear from the article and the articles linked in chain is whether these related exploits can be run fully remotely and autonomously infecting RAM just by a user browsing the web, or like so many exploits where the attacker needs sustained physical access to an exposed...

I got it for $229.95 from Amazon during a post-Christmas sale last December after my then new Crucial T700 4TB got fried in an electrical incident. Amazon is now sold out for direct purchase and is listing it for $249.99 from the cheapest third party vendor.

OP: have you independently tested the old GPU fans as well as the new GPU fans with a power source separate from the GPU itself, like using a molex or sata converter or a graphics 4 pin to 12v fan 4 pin? If the new fans and the old fans work when powered from a source other than the graphics...

So what, among the hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of new crypto marketed makes Qbic so special? More to the point, what mechanism is going to cause people to actively use it in a way that provides stability and especially longevity to it? Otherwise, this almost seems like the SSD eating...

Just think of a single bent pin...

A 4060, especially in laptop configuration, is a low-range chip, which because it uses a "107" named die places it, under Nvidia old naming conventions for generations prior to this one, as a XX50 class GPU. You're not natively pushing many frames at a high resolution with maxed out graphics...

That comparison is against a 6900XT, not a 6950. Most AiB 6950's are generally almost 10% faster than a reference 6900, with much of that coming from the better, faster memory. Moreover, a 6950 can generally be overclocked and undervolted to gain nearly 10% more performance for about the same...

All you need is for Nvidia to start offering Display Port 2.1, which should hopefully happen sometime before 2035. Remember, 2x 3840x2160 is only a third more pixels than a 3x 2560x1600 monitor array and I remember those from the late aughts. It would also help if Samsung got their quality...

If you're not de-lidding, the best options to really push and cool a 7950x are either a Techn block, an Alphacool Core 1, or an Optimus Signature block. The Techn was originally an AM4 block, but is fully compatible with the AM5 backplate, and marginally outperforms an Optimus Foundation block...

A big point I took away from Roman's video (see around the 13:40 mark) was that even when using a 4090 with a dedicated sensor and warning light to confirm the cable was supposedly completely seated and plugged in properly, the card still had power and stability issues because tiny lateral...

I've found that offset is very much a mix of silicon lottery, AEGSA version, and motherboard allowances. It's been a long while since I last looked at the more "advanced" portions of my motherboard's UEFI BIOS options, but if memory serves the X670E Ace allowed for an extra wide positive or...

The biggest reason to use a slot other than the one underneath the GPU (if your motherboard allows for it without taking a lane/speed penalty) is just to avoid having to remove the GPU any time you need to check on the underlying SSD. Heat would only be a problem if you were to have a really...

I was planning on upgrading from my 6900 to either a 5090 or AMD's RDNA4 competitive equivalent. But after the rumors have become near fact that RDNA4 will likely have no high end chip, NVidia will almost certainly further overcharge will self-sandbagging performance. Looks like I'll be...
