My idea: Heavy video cards can be weighted down so much they make a poor connection in the slot. Ensure that the card is level, parallel horizontally as it should be. If it is sagging, use zip ties or long twist ties to lasso the card around something above it, and adjust to make it horizontal.

An image search on Project Denver brings up some of the history of nVIDIA CPUs. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=nvidia+project+denver ARM CPUs have a poor history with Windows so far. The Surface X sounds like it has some better performance with the x86-like emulation/translation. -Shrug-

Folks, Google didn't invent the search engine. They put figured out how to build one. They they figured out how to get better results. It's not just a patented PageRank system. It's having words paired up into phrases, and some manual adjusting by employees to figure out what a searcher was...

I've at times worked one of the previous generations of this server and really liked them. I didn't know Chenbro made the cases. Hot swap PSUs, all good stuff.

With Samsung, the Pro has been MLC and the EVO and EVO+ are TLC, QVO being their brand for QLC. I assume they are continuing that way.

That sounds like an actual solution I would be for. What's to say TSMC being a veteran in this business didn't develop their own tech independently? It is after all a Taiwan company manufacturing in China. What about Taiwanese patents TSMC has? International agreements on IP and trade come...

I recall that the boards with the PLX chip are always the best. I've had a couple in the past. But with the new RTX cards with the new higher bandwidth NVLink for SLI, I wonder if the PLX is even needed?

That is an incredible story. Their e-commerce platform software they developed would probably have a development cost well in the tens of thousands of dollars, maybe as high as a hundred grand. Think, they would've had barcode integration and tying in with accounting. That would've had some...

Thanks Raevenlord for what I felt was a challenging and informative, even-handed editorial. Thanks for not being hyper-liberal like every other tech writer out there. I read and hear so much anti-Trump stuff which is so misinformed or deliberately distorted, that I'd think I'm living outside...

Can AMD put HBM2 memory on a CPU package? If so that would be a really interesting possibility, considering PC APUs so far have been lower performing than one would've thought. And I mean on that note, HBM built into the CPU could compete with Intel's Optane cache memory, right?

The jeweler option sounds good. I was thinking, you'd need a "helping hands" magnifying lens. You'd need to tape off the socket with masking tape, except for a tiny hole where the missing pin head is. Then, solder a tiny bead of solder onto it. It's risky. You would just need to plan well...

Well that's cool to learn they're using HBM2 memory in a shipping product. We should see that on a consumer video card someday.

If your board died from a power surge I would probably recycle it. In the past I've repaired a board that had a screwdriver break a trace. If I recall correctly, I used sandpaper to clean the top layer off right at the break, then using masking tape to protect the good traces, I used molten...

I've never kickstarted before, but BlackRoom sounds like it could be fun. Granted, Daikatana was kind of stupid, fighting robot frogs in the future, and skeletons in ancient Greece or whatever. But this sounds rather up to date, conceptually.

Loving my new Asus 25 inch monitor at 1080p, 'cept for the TN panel viewing angles. I used a 26 inch LCD TV for years and I felt the 26 inch screen was a tad too big. I don't think I'd appreciate a 30 inch LCD. I looked at the BenQs but the PCmonitors.info review looked like it had ghosting...
