    Can really get slimmer designs with soldered components. Look at z-height reductions from soldering CPU and RAM on motherboard compared to having a socket. Same goes to storage and other items.

    RTX 5090 - $2000 - 2 Slot Design - available on Jan. 30 - 12VHPWR still

    I had to RMA my first, an A7V333-X. PATA controller died on the southbridge. Was the only mobo I've ever had that died. Turned around in less than two weeks when they still had their Louisville service center. Only part I've ever had go bad. That, and a BFG 6800GT, but that may have been me...

    Well, DLSS Quality is pretty nice, and you don't need frame generation. The upscaling on most titles is pretty sweet. I've been using it on a handful of titles since Final Fantasy XV(not a shining example of the tech, but got playable framerates on higher resolution), such as the Diablo 2...

    Looks like a nice upgrade from my 3080 Ti FTW! Extreme Hydro copper or whatever. Going to be weird having a non-EVGA card in my PC for the first time since Crossfired XFX 7970 GHz Edition & XFX 280X.

    LG stops making Blu-ray players

    Best Buy has the Sony x700 on sale for $150 right now. HDR10 and Dolby Vision. You do have to manually switch between the two, but a solid player. I've had no issues with mine for the last three+ years.

    LG stops making Blu-ray players

    I love my 4K discs. There is no comparison between disc and streaming. A few titles are showcases for streaming, such as Bright, but otherwise, most are crap. And then there is the shit show that is the LFE track on streaming titles. Gross.

    MSI Reveals Ryzen 9000X3D 11-13% Faster Than 7000X3D, AMD Set to Dominate "Arrow Lake" in Gaming

    We make enough Aluminum here in the states. A new smelter going online here in the next couple years in KY that is going to double the amount of smelt capacity in the US. I do a ton of work in this industry. The cheap, low quality Chinese dump 7/8 years ago nearly killed the US Aluminum...

    It does! He's the guy that built the infamous Ryzen dram timing tool for Zen 1. It's now all rolled into a single utility.

    MSI Reveals Ryzen 9000X3D 11-13% Faster Than 7000X3D, AMD Set to Dominate "Arrow Lake" in Gaming

    Yes, and absolutely. Running all-core full load 4.7 on my 5800x. Has this amazing process of having load-based and core count OC's. Takes forever to run, but due to it being very accurate and cautious. You'll get an undervolt AND a nice OC. I've been using it for years.

    DOJ to request Federal Judge to order Google to sell chrome browser.

    What do they really offer aside from advertising and data brokerage? Android is open source leading to ad revenue, Pixel is sold as another advertising revenue source, I'm sure they are getting some kind of data brokerage off of Fi, Chrome is ad rev and harvesting. Without advertising, is there...

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-Core CPU Spotted & Tested, Up To 64% Faster Than 7950X3D

    Curious how this works out for Satisfactory, seeing the increase for Factorio. My 5800X falls on its face in late-game. I'm just not sure how far the game is threaded.

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, Ultra 7 265K and Ultra 5 245K Review Roundup

    The "high-k" or whatever material had some pretty bad leakage, and that was why it ran so hot.

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, Ultra 7 265K and Ultra 5 245K Review Roundup

    I had a Pentium D running 3.8 or something on air iirc. I remember it was the highest air-cooled OC for an 820 on 3DMark back in the day, and it was 24/7 stable like that as well. I can't remember the OC, but it was nearly +1GHz or right at it. Had the most golden sample of all golden samples.

    Yuri from the amazing HYDRA tool has released his newest update today. Fixes the thread scheduling issue in Windows. I expect this to add even more beating distance. Look at what it does just to a lowly 8600G...

    I have several failed around the bezel as well. Can't see them unless I'm looking for them, they are black. I didn't purchase an extended warranty. Bought mine in April '22. Still going strong otherwise. I do wish it were a little brighter, but I may have it dimmed some, I followed that...

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, Ultra 7 265K and Ultra 5 245K Review Roundup

    Lol. LTT rating their gaming graphs in rank by 1% lows. Who does that? I guess it was the only way to not completely let Intel look like a slouch. I think this may be Intel's Zen1 moment. Refresh on this be a major improvement I think. Isn't this also the first part out under Jim Keller?

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Specifications Surface

    Nah. We aren't getting yearly uArch updates anymore. We get process and yield improvements that trickle down from the HALO A.I. parts throughout 2-4 years. With die sizes and transistor densities what they are now(even on the mainstream parts), they can't launch a $900 xx80 part every year...
