    Your PC ATM

    Picky, laughing from bad things like not caring one lol and simply paying attention to details ;) Like e.g this Pure Wings fan on your photo - it just shouldn't be like that. Or at least I would turn it it 90 degrees right, to make it's cable going out bottom left corner. And then stealthy drive...

    Your PC ATM

    Not counting disscussable aesthetics, it looking like Afro American in Las Vegas wearing this kind of helmet with pipes providing drink Americans wear during watching their kind of football (to some extremists of political correctness: it's not racist or whatever bad. It in fact looks like...

    Why everyone say Zen 5 is bad ?

    Results always depend on each test, so factors like platform, CPU settings, games or test location in game. The same with tendencies - just show stuff supporting any. I don't see a difference you mentioned in Cyberpunk, both 5800X3D and 14600K behave similarly, but maybe you clicked something...

    Why everyone say Zen 5 is bad ?

    Quite nice piece of testing by Digital Foundry who seem to be back to CPU testing done their way - focusing on showing exact performance, so crucial consistency, not just averaged graphs leaving space for guessing...

    Zen 5 Reviews TL;DR & Opinion Poll

    For now Zen 5 brings one really good thing: bringing down to earth people valuing theoretical "upgrade path" to the point it was no discussion for them between "dead platform" Intel and "futureproof" AM5. Especially I talk times when AM5 was pricier, giving you less performance and long before...

    Is alc 897/892 much worse than s1200a ?

    So save yourself caring about built-in audio. With mobos it's about avoiding bottom of the barrel ones, because they like to die the most, but then aiming cheapest possible one meeting your expectations, optionally having possibly modern features which may come in handy (for you or tempt next...

    Is alc 897/892 much worse than s1200a ?

    No much sense to ask title question due to whole thing depending on few factors starting with your own hearing. If you won't be satisfied with built-in audio, you'll get yourself a soundcard. One meeting your likings and what's even better, usable with other devices. Btw buying each time more...

    Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark

    Damn, plus btw there're games having settings above commonly known as high end preset "ultra". I hope that devs will finally understand that there's no point to be creative here and you just can't beat "highest settings"...

    Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark

    Likely stupid alternative to naming being clear for everybody like "highest settings" or "ultra" ;)

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    Pricey, but useful, convenient and quality stuff to have. I mean bits, but also and especially the helpful rest you may not see the use for until it comes in handy driven by your creativity. Likely from this kind of pricey things to serve you your whole life and in the best way. Plus some bit...

    Stalker 2 is looking great.

    It's this kind of game not really worth giving secound chance. Imo just decent one, but levels of fun it was giving me was close to border of what I find worth playing. Plus it being a game definitely feeling at best AA, with many technical shortcomings and not everybody tolerate such. This...

    AM5 board recommendation

    What you say shows that you just try to hard be right, but also know shit about cooling. Plus giving laugh emoticon to whatever post you don't agree won't change it or make me feel bad. :laugh:

    Phanteks Intros Polar ST Series CPU Coolers

    Nobody asked for such things. And I would like to see these tiny, direct touch and low on heatpipes coolers handling well above 200W on sockets marketing mentions. But Phanteks could bring their T30s to air cooling world instead - combining these dope fans, premium quality and aesthetics...

    Stalker 2 is looking great.

    I liked Chernobylite, but we had rough start - you just shouldn't expect the same experience as Stalker. It's more game story driven, dialogues and resources hunting when avoiding encounters. You just land on the map and hurry to do quest when simulatanously searching for resources until PITA...

    AM5 board recommendation

    Have you ever heard about heatsink being or not designed to work with given fans? Meaning effectiveness, so noise normalized performance and most importantly designing the heatsink to avoid acoustic anomalies, shit annoying you on daily basis. Acoustic anomalies you get from damn Deepcool as an...
