    Amazon no longer showing 1 Star Reviews

    only problem i see here is that some 1 star reviews are legit. some time ago i bought a popcorn maker on amazon. it caught fire. thankfully i was watching it so no damage was done but that's besides the point. there were other similar reviews.

    This is why I love the i5-13600K - the overclock gaming king at 1440P (but the i5-14600K is better)

    what are you using to cool it? undervolting? i have the 14600KF but i find it gets very hot....i tried undervolting but it didn't go so well, haven't had time to try again. current temps are fine but i'm not about to take it off stock settings again. good way to heat up the room.

    Toshiba to double production of HDD's. Not out of the fight just yet.

    Hopefully this will help out a bit. The HDD is really hanging in there. Sure they're slow, but can't beat the high capacity for the price if you don't need the speed. Makes me wonder when SSD will finally kill off the HDD for good.

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    Just bought control resonant. I have a thing for remedy games. Waiting for the kids to go to bed :) Unfortunately I work this weekend so my play time will be quite limited.

    What game were you playing when you joined hardforum? And what year did you join HF? How long you been here?

    Late 90s, but I had a different account at the time. Lost it somehow, I think I lost access to the old email and then couldn't reset the password.... something like that. I usually have several games on the go. Back then would have been playing quake 2, half-life, TFC, diablo and StarCraft...

    Gaming hardware is impossible to afford

    I have an Intel 14600K, 32GB DDR4 3200 and a 9070XT. I'm going to ride this one out. My only fear is if my HDD or an SSD decides it's time to pack it in. I have backups, but replacing my 16TB WD red drive costs over $700 CAD now. It's madness, I bought that drive for half that a few years ago.

    Remembering Zip Drives - the Trendy Storage Technology of the 1990s

    my dad ran a software company from our basement when i was young. i remember him buying one of these, he was so impressed at how much data it could hold. talked it up as a replacement for the old 1.44mb floppies. and let's be honest, in the 90s you could never get enough storage. and then they...

    New landline alert issued to UK homes as switch off deadline gets closer

    Depends on the towers where you live. Some have backup generators, some don't. We had a massive ice storm here a year and a half ago. Knocked out the power for 5 days. the cell towers kept right on going the whole time. Not that the cell companies are going to tell you anything like that so I...

    New landline alert issued to UK homes as switch off deadline gets closer

    i'm in the same boat, i think i ditched the landline 12 years ago, pretty close. i was getting daily telemarketing so it was time. i ditched my tv service too, very little use for that if you're not a sports nut. 500mb cable connection is all i have and need besides the cell phone. the landline...

    Intel will supply Raptor Lake for years

    I would, it's a good buy. A 14600 isn't expensive. having gone from a 12600 to a 14600, I would recommend getting the 14600. higher core count even if they are e-cores and higher clock speed. A 13600 is nearly the same if you're going used. Only downside is I do note that the heat output is...

    Intel will supply Raptor Lake for years

    i'm not too surprised. most people are holding out for ram prices to go back down to something more respectable. i know i'm in that boat. 14th gen is just fine with the bios update and the cpus are still relevant today even if not the best. i'm running a 14600K with 32gb DDR4 myself, its still...
