    Mirror's Edge and Battlefield Bad Company 2 being removed from sale

    Man.. BFBC2's my favorite BF of all time. wonder why they're taking it down? that one ran on dedicated servers, i mean if they want to shut down official server then whatever but why try to kill the game? i'm gonna have to load it up and get some rounds in. i haven't played it since one of...

    Arctic Silver 5 (aka Old Gray Beard) vs Arctic MX6 (aka Young and Hung) - The Big Show!

    you should give one of the new non-curing pastes a go. i would think wet mortar would conduct better than dry mortar. but say i'm wrong and you have to move the system and it gets jarred and said mortar joint breaks, at that point do you think you'll still be getting same performance with your...

    T-Mobile buying Mint Mobile

    prob easier to spy on them especially if there are warrants outside of where Mint operates which is i believe would be california. i'm sure by now it's common knowledge NSA has contracts w/ all the major players in the game. guess mint has gotten to big for it's own good?

    personally will never use AS5 again, i use to use it because everyone swore by it, but i already didn't like it because after a couple months it dries out and cements parts together. and i don't know if that may have been part of a problem i had but i had been running a custom loop for a...

    Silicon Valley Bank Collapses, Causes Concern Within Tech Industry, Roku Divulges its SVB Investments

    it's the spot price or what not or close to it. i mean not all places will, some of them will try and rip you off, but i know this one place i took a chain in i had got as a kid in the 80's (felt bad about it) because i was going through some hard times and i don't wear gold anyway, and they...

    Silicon Valley Bank Collapses, Causes Concern Within Tech Industry, Roku Divulges its SVB Investments

    well, where i live, in va beach, i know a couple places i can go during normal buisness hours and they'll give you cash for gold/silver but listen to what you're saying. keeping money in cash or in the bank doesn't get adjusted for inflation. i mean i'm not saying don't keep money in the bank...

    7 best GPUs of all time

    doesn't the 4090 require 450w worth of pcie? trying to remember the last time we had a 450w gpu? kinda sounds like some brute forcing going on over their side too but really that 4070ti should have been the 4060 at best with it's anemic memory bus. i was just looking at how they're charging...

    Silicon Valley Bank Collapses, Causes Concern Within Tech Industry, Roku Divulges its SVB Investments

    ASML's Ex-Employee in China Allegedly Stole Confidential Information

    according to this https://www.asml.com/en/news/stories/2022/making-euv-lab-to-fab the light wavelength the EUV machines use is 13.5 nm but i still can't find anything saying that TSMC's 5nm (N5,N4) node is actually producing 11-14 nm chips. unless that's how they rate them but i thought company...

    Any zen 4 owners have super long boot times?

    the only time i had long boot times was when i tried changing the bclk. anything except the default 100mhz, even at 101, would cause 5min boot. i'm guessing that's why asus had originally didn't have that as an option in the bios but later added it in because i guess enough of us were b*tching...

    ASML's Ex-Employee in China Allegedly Stole Confidential Information

    i thought i read somewhere that TSMC 4nm was part of the 5nm node and yeah technically not 4nm but they, for whatever reason, didn't want to call it N4.8? and thought tsmc had their own proprietary tech that's more advanced and than any one else's and being that's how they make their money...

    GeForce graphics driver bug may cause 10%+ CPU usage from NVIDIA Container

    yeah, i had a crash the other day and was digging around in event viewer and noticed a bunch of errors from nvidia not being able to connect to the network (prob because i use a vpn that locks out network at boot) but i don't even have geforce experience installed or any automatic updating, none...

    Puget Systems Confirm Issues Also on Samsung 980 PRO

    did you not forget that Samsung have always inflated their performance numbers by how well they perform "out of the box" instead of how they performed once there was a little bit of data on the drive? and the performance degraded exponentially the more that was written vs something like the...

    Puget Systems Confirm Issues Also on Samsung 980 PRO

    May want to look at those Western digital sn850's I've had one for a couple years now and I check every now and then and there's never any updates so it looks like it was a pretty solid product from release? plus that's what they are recommending for PS5 upgrades so I'm figuring they should work...

    Average read/write speed needed for gaming for the next 5 years

    yeah, but when directstorage drops and starts becoming a requirement for the latest games, you're gonna need a pcie 4 ssd. and to o.p. yes you're gonna want it heatsinked, especially the high performance ones. if your drive doesn't come with or your board doesn't include one, or you want a...

    Gigabyte Teases Future-Gen Tech Behind the purported GeForce RTX 8090 Ti And You're Going To Need A Bigger Case

    theoretically but luckily even a system with a 3090 running furmark and prime95 at the same time you wouldn't be pulling 1500w, you really just want to have overkill on power supply wattage so you're not maxing out. running a power supply at 100% rated load for extended period of time probably...

    plus w/ 4090 you got to look at posibly buying a new power supply and worrying about connector melt. and whether you even got room the for that thing? heck i still run a soundcard and like to have a slot open for a nic because i've had lighting take em out before.

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    was just was thinking, not sure which version of the card you have but some of them have a tiny switch on the card that switches between a low noise and an oc mode? also make sure you unlocked voltage monitoring also in afterburner. and double check it's version 4.6.5 also someone on reddit...
