    Since [H] shut down, where do you go for PSU reviews?

    The PSU reviews on [H] were really unparalleled. I'm looking for sites that do quality in-depth PSU reviews. Gimme your best linkage.

    How long have you used your power supply?

    My OG 1st-gen AX850 (the one with the gold lettering on the side) is still going strong in its third system. I bought it fall 2010 and since then have had zero issues. It's still cool and quiet in its current home, an NZXT H400. I hope it never dies.

    What was your least favorite graphics card?

    This is a great thread. The first GPU I ever bought myself as an adult was a GeForce4 Ti4200. About 3 months after I got it, it started producing an error whenever anything 3D was launched. I can't remember the wording but it invoked nv4_disp.dll. I tried for so, so many hours to fix that error...

    Seasonic X-750 750W PSU 10 Year Redux @ [H]

    Simply fascinating. What a great idea for a "review"! Seems these units are the real deal, as [H] as they come. Wonder how my Corsair AX850 (1st gen) would stack up after 8 years..

    ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2070 O8G GAMING Review

    Great review, and I appreciated the Vega 64 being used as a comparison as that's the exact card I've got. A note, Vega pricing has been fluctuating wildly lately, sometimes with very deep discounts. I picked up a Vega 64 (the same Strix OC model you tested with) for $425 USD last month. At that...

    Heads up! Prices have dropped on Vega 56/64

    Also for reference, two of my buds picked up Vega 56 cards today for $440 CAD, which is like $335USD. https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX70282 It's been going in and out of stock, but I can definitely confirm that at least in Canada there are 56 and 64s available for the lowered prices...

    Heads up! Prices have dropped on Vega 56/64

    I've just installed an Asus Strix RX Vega 64 OC that i picked up for $560 CAD. Crazy good deal, and at that price (the same as basic 1070Ti cards and less than the same flavour card as a 2060) it can't be beat. For reference, this is about $425 USD.

    Battlefield V NVIDIA Ray Tracing RTX 2060 Performance @ [H]

    Man, the graph at the bottom of page 6... Even 2070 can't hit 60FPS with low DXR @ 1080p.. Forget the 2060. Makes you wonder why anyone would pay $350 for a hobbled card that is memory bottle-necked almost always. As always, fantastic testing and insight from [H].

    Google Says It Is Discontinuing the Chromecast Audio

    Couldn't disagree more. I use mine with a toslink connection to a Schiit DAC but even before I had that it was just 3.5mm into my stereo amp and it sounded amazing. Much, much better than any bluetooth speaker/stereo. Here's a great review from What Hi-Fi that was published shortly after it...

    Google Says It Is Discontinuing the Chromecast Audio

    This is a real bummer. The Chromecast Audio supports really high bitrate streaming, and you can plug it into a stereo/amp via 3.5mm *or* digital optical. I've got the latter going into a DAC, then into my main stereo receiver - It has always sounded incredible for a streaming device. Really sad...

    The Epic Games Store's Latest Freebie Is Super Meat Boy

    That's two quality games so far for the Epic store - really glad to see someone finally taking it to Steam. Also, Hades at $20 CAD is a great game and total value.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Pricing and Performance Leaked

    CES is going to be really, really interesting this year - RTX 2060 vs. AMD's latest range.. the rumoured RX 3060, 3070, 3080. If the 3080 leaks pan out, it'll be 2070-ish performance for $250-$300. That'll completely negate this launch.

    Intel Core i9-9900K 9th Generation CPU Review @ [H]

    Great review, as always. Had to read it twice through to really understand the deltas here. I think the truly interesting comparo will be between the new 9th gen i5 and the 2700X. If you factor in $40 for the Wraith cooler these are the same price. Given that, and given the benches in this...

    MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO Picture Leaks

    Has anyone heard anything about an AMD response to this? Earliest I have seen is Q1 2019.. I'm sure these cards will be The Fastest and such, but I can't shake the feeling that NVidia is milking the current market landscape.

    New Razer Keyboard Features "Opto-Mechanical" Switches

    The switch stems are neat looking It's a Cherry-style + but with a surrounding stabilizer type mold. Also, they rate the switches for 100 million clicks - double that of the other Razer switches, and more than double the standard Cherry switches (most are rated to 30 million or so).

    NVIDIA Looks to Gag Journalists with Multi-Year Blanket NDAs

    So.. maybe I'm connecting dots that shouldn't be connected, but it seems really fishy that this NDA comes out just a couple months before the launch of their next big line of cards.. NVIDIA’s new NDA basically says that any confidential information provided to the party must be used ‘solely for...

    2019: The Year That Microsoft Quits Surface Hardware

    I said it earlier, but I'll say it again. I'm seeing lots and lots of corporate/enterprise investment in this platform. M$ is selling the shit out of it. My organization has spent over 4 million on Surface crap in the past year, with more each year as sustainment costs. The Surfaces themselves...

    Razer Chroma third-party integration coming - AMD, MSI and more

    Sure, but you have to use their proprietary software. And Corsair doesn't make GPUs. And they won't interface with any other company's addressable system. That's why this is kind of a big deal - unlike the RGB solutions from peripherals makers (Corsair, NZXT, etc.) and the mobo makers (Asus...

    Don't Expect New GeForce GPU for a Long Time

    Right you are, both Kepler arch. However the 780 brought over 20% gains on average compared to the 680, and the 770 narrowly beat a stock 680. I care less about the arch than I do the performance jump. If there had been a 1000 series refresh bringing that kind of performance last fall, no one...

    Corsair 280X Micro-ATX Case with AIO in Mind

    I really, really like the layout of this case. It's an improvement on the already pretty neat cube style they have (I think the 240/540?) and seems much more space-efficient. That said I wish the white version were available sans fans and RGB controller. But honestly the whole damn RGB...

    Corsair TX750M 750W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    I totally follow you. My feeling on this is very likely coloured by the fact that I've dealt with Corsair's warranty service several times and have found them to be the literal best company in my experience, hands down.
