Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have 6 free lines on my account (it's been a few years since I added). I suppose the main catch is once you hit a total of 8 lines, you won't get the auto-pay discount for additional lines (don't think that will apply to the free lines, but if you add a watch/tablet line, it'll soak you an...
Went to Marietta, GA microcenter this morning. The 2 weeks is consistent with what they said (but also, they say they're completely in the dark at the store level).
Overall stats for 5090 were - 4 cards on launch day, 2 cards the day after, none since then. Approx 75 people camping night...
I haven't dug into the footnotes on how they test, but for the Zen 4/5 generation, AMD has emphasized the use of the Windows Balanced Power mode as being their way of testing. Arrow Lake takes an arrow to the knee at that power setting so that could skew this chart a bit (also, would want to...
Over the past week or so, the 7800x3d has only been in stock via sketchy new/no feedback stores from China at that price. I haven't seen a sold by/shipped by Amazon example in a while.
These have been flash crashing for a few weeks now. I picked up a 7950X for $440... then $410 (returning the $440 one), and it's $401 tonight... might as well buy and return it too?
Based on the current timeline, Zen 5 launch reviews will be based on whatever the reviewer picks for its Intel performance (either the "intel default" that was pushed a couple months ago with respective BIOS revisions or the initial launch power profile). After the Zen 5 launch, I would expect a...
Could be. But look at the logistics - 8/8 is the on-shelf date for the 9700x and 9600x. Assuming reviews are out before then, that's before the 8/12 date and the data won't be included. For the 9900x/9950x, the date is 8/15, presumably with reviews landing a day or two before - even with the day...
Highly unlikely that Intel's new microcode will be ready in time for Zen 5 CPU launch reviews to include its impact. It's been quoted for mid-August, so what I would expect to happen, is a week or two after Zen 5 reviews land, you'll see reviewers using their Intel data from the Zen 5 launch as...
There's only so many lanes to go around and the trend has been moving from PCIe slots to nvme slots... We've got a mATX board on the test bench now that has 5 nvme slots....
I attend Computex in Taiwan and CES in Las Vegas annually and talk to board makers on a regular basis as part of being the owner of The FPS Review.
Not really. Nobody offered a number to me.
It's hard to tell on this - it could also be to give board makers time to clear their X670 and B650...
AMD does not have a desktop chip with a NPU out at this point. NPUs are hitting mobile at this point and they are generally weaker in performance compared to lower end GPUs - a RTX 3060 can do 2-2.5x the performance of the various mobile NPUs launched at Computex this year.
Board makers I've talked to have been fairly mum on it as they seem to be waiting on AMD to provide a date, consensus seems to be late Q3/early Q4. X870E will be more expensive than X670E due to USB4/Thunderbolt - and I'm sure that would factor into a Zen5 launch reviews in a negative manner -...
I think AMD says a lot about the performance differences between X670E and X870E when they're launching Zen 5 without shipping the X870E chipsets - those will follow a few months later. USB4/Thunderbolt will be the main feature improvement, sure VRMs could be better and memory support could be...
I've been using Ooma as a primary home phone line for about 10 years now. Works great and its device will plug into your existing wiring and all your "classic" phones should work.
The free plus "taxes" has crept up from about $4 per month to $7 over the past decade.
There's some whitelisting configuration magic you have to do on the laptop side. Usually makes me chuck the machine a few times before getting it to work....
Yes, that's what I mean. For fan where there's an RGB ring or blades that light up, doing the standard reverse the frame trick can result in.. uhh.. a loss of aesthetic functionality.
Saw these at Computex earlier hthis year - they had some pacman gifs of them running between the different fans and it seemed pretty neat. If you're an unique aesthetics sort of person, I could see these being useful - otherwise, probably not so much.
You buy the one that has the airflow going...
So... the thing that I haven't seen addressed in this thread is your email host. Are you using your web host as your mail server or are you hosting your own? I'd suggest that moving to a "paid" real email provider (basically, O365 or Google) with a proper configuration for SPF/DKIM/DMARC should...
Not a lot of compelling reasons to upgrade the board in your case (at least in my opinion). Performance should be the same between the chipsets, although the Z790 should have improved memory performance (higher speeds will be possible on those boards) - though - you're probably fine keeping your...
The jump is nice because it gained additional ecores. I haven't read other reviewers takes on it yet, but for me it performed on par or slightly better (at similar power levels) than the 13900K in most everything I threw at it except for all cores pegged types of workloads (Cinebench, for example).
