    EK Launches a 4-in-1 AM5 Socket Delicacy for the SFF Community

    Yeah the price does suck, but compared to the aquanaut it's close. No, the Eisbaer/DC-LT stuff don't come close - hence why they're cheaper - and in Australia Alphacool is hideously expensive due to import taxes. Importing an Eisbaer will cost you more than the Velocity. Also the Velocity does...

    EK Launches a 4-in-1 AM5 Socket Delicacy for the SFF Community

    I'm not sure what EK's done to piss everyone off here. The Eisbaer LT stuff is barely powerful enough to handle a loop to begin with - the DC-LTs have barely enough head pressure to run an AIO loop to begin with - let alone a normal loop. It's enough for a horizontal form factor ITX build but...

    EKWB Lays Off 25% of Workforce, Blames Lower Watercooling Sales

    Posting here after not being on TPU for 10 years (good to see you're still here) but, at least they have made attempts to fix the problem - they're very active on SNS / trawl through reddit to help people with issues. Regardless or not if the person in charge was the issue, they've changed their...

    Sony Announces PlayStation Vita, Revolutionary Portable Entertainment Device

    Considering the PSP was PS2-level in terms of hardware... what does this mean fro the PSV? I think this PSV will greatly overshadow the 3DS... its a true next gen piece of hardware. Xperia play looks stopgap in conparison. Isn't this technically a smartphone? Why is it only 299 euros for such...

    Q4 PC Graphics Shipments in a Slump, Competitors Eat into Intel's Lead

    nothing is 'forced'; the reason why a lot of systems use intel IGPs is becuase its simply just cheaper to supply. You get what you pay for and I don't see how intel is in the wrong here... shifting customers away from its own products is not doing business. Mind you, the fact that you can do...

    ASRock Third Largest Motherboard Vendor

    this is not surprising at all. Here in sydney, there are chains like MSY and IJK and I constantly see a stream of people walking out with asrock boards every time I visit them. They used to just fill the niches between upgrades and do it for a low price instead of trying to shuffle people...
