    Steam Deck Parts at ifixit

    It's illegal in the US to void the warranty for opening a device. They can only refuse (and still not void) fixing problem that they can prove was caused by the work you did to it. It's got to the point that the US government has demanded manufacturers stop using "void" tape, because it tries to...

    LTT: Which Mechanical Keyboard Switches are BEST? Blind Test!

    Getting into Keyboard options like crazy. Trying to find the perfect setup for every use. Ducky Mini for laptop bag, Huntsman with Linear optical switches for gaming station, Ducky full size with silent reds for work and so on. Even going to dabble in self build keyboard if for no other reason...

    Amazon is Allegedly Canceling Subscribe & Save Orders to Charge Customers More

    Going to follow with the same as everyone else who uses the service. I never get charged more then they tell me. If there is a price change of more than the 10% that not having more than 5 items would add I get an email and have pushed deliveries out an extra month for this. What is probably...

    AMD Previews 7nm Ryzen CPUs at CES

    Dude, you have two type of enthusiasts. The ones that recommend overkill and those that would say right sizing all purchases is important and that Ryzen is overkill. Ryzen doesn't require CL14 and more than a 9900k needs it. At most what Ryzen needs is fast ram, but even that caps out at...

    TR 3 32 or 48?

    Zen2 is a really wierd one for me. Starship was on the roadmap of having 48 cores. Which started the guess work of wondering how the CCX configuration would be. AMD needs to keep a steep lead in core count. Zen 3 is unlikely to break away from Zen 2 that much and hasn't been recently refered to...

    7700K user - Sell me on a 2700X.

    And that is bullshit too. IPC doesn't translate to dirrect performance neither does clockspeed. At it's worst outside of one or two outliers, a 77000k is about 10-12% better at 1080p gaming over a 1700x. The rift has closed for many reasons but without an overclock the difference between a 7700k...

    2990wx request

    I assume a lot of people that do work at home, its not work computers. It's home computers that they like to do work on. So there can be balance between a computer that they can game on, but also if they bring their project home for the weekend or to work on it on their own time they can.

    Scott Herkelman on NVIDIA GPP

    Some of those were seriously late to the party and when you start adding Titan's and even the 1080ti doesn't it really start drifting away from being a true competitor to the products you are comparing it too. The only reason's Vega64's compare in pricing is do to mining gouging but for the...

    Chris Hook leaves AMD, starting new role by the end of April

    AMD makes money if they ship products that get purchased. AMD making lots of money off of Crypto doesn't require them to be making the profit from the price gouging.

    AREZ Brand Gets Ready for Debut Due to NVIDIA GPP

    Asrock hasn't been a sub brand for Asus for awhile. Asus spun them off a long time ago and they were purchased by an OEM only board manufacturer (that I believe was also either Asus's parent company at one time or spun off from them much earlier). So while there is some relationship there it's...

    Dell and HP Resist the NVIDIA GPP Leash - So Far

    You do know the first RoG product was an AMD based one right? I see why Dell and HP won't join. Last time they let a company do this they had to deal with all sorts of court battles and it weakened their positions. Dell on top of that paid an arm and a leg of actual cash on Alienware back in the...

    Epyc and the advantages of 128 PCI Express lanes

    You can never have too many. But you can certainly have too little. Most of this is a side effect of CPU design really. From the bottom up AMD needed to have enough PCIe lanes to feed the APU and have spare for the motherboard. For Ryzen they needed to support the swapping between Ryzen and the...

    Ryzen Linux users. My 1700 won't go faster than 3000 MHz

    I am confused. Isn't this exactly what is supposed to happen?

    Do I need to Jump to a x370?

    This might seem like a bad idea being under the GPU1 slot. But my guess is the exact opposite. Sure the air itself will be above ambient, but the M.2 card is going to be producing a large amount of heat itself probably be at a higher temp than the air hitting it from the GPU. This would actually...

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 & 1400 CPU Review @ [H]

    Well unless they want to pay the difference or lone me their system till next year when I would have built a SL-X 8c system they can suck it. But even if I threw a fortune at a 6900 setup (which I was was heavily thinking about till the Ryzen preview) i'd still have the issue I just wouldn't...
