It needs to have a dual PSU option unless I'm missing the mounting spot for the 2nd PSU.

I'm looking at the pictures and trying to figure out where to solder the EVC connections. I don't see it. I do see the voltage monitoring points though. Now I'm wondering if the card has software based voltage control that goes above the Nvidia limits just like the Kingpin cards did.

Its a Hardware First Place for that CPU, not a world record. From HWBOT: "A World Record is defined as the best score ever achieved in a specific benchmark application as verified at HWBOT.org by its benchmark rules and regulations at the moment of submitting the benchmark result."

The current CB R23 world record on HWBOT is 116142. From HWBOT: "A World Record is defined as the best score ever achieved in a specific benchmark application as verified at HWBOT.org by its benchmark rules and regulations at the moment of submitting the benchmark result." Its a Hardware...

I was showing up as $1749.99 for me yesterday and is still showing up as $1749.99 on MSI's US store. All the retailers are still showing $1749.99 prices and it was $1749.99 yesterday on BestBuy and Amazon when they had a few in stock for a minute.

During the RTX 3000 shortage, MSI raised their GPU prices above MSRP on their own store without changing the MSRP of the cars through retailers. Do we have an official announcement from MSI saying its an official MSRP change or is this someone assuming it is because MSI is scalping through...

Maybe I missed it in the article, but how long in duration were the Blender, Cinebench multi core, and MP3 encode tests? Were they 5-10+ minutes or under a minute or two? One thing I noticed in my own experience was in longer rendering and encoding workloads, the NH-D15 couldn't compete with a...

In some of the screenshots I noticed the same issue that FSR 1.0 had. Objects such as wires, fences, railings, handrails, etc... looked worse with FSR 2.0 than with DLSS. They looked like they were either missing pieces or had jagged edges with FSR 2.0 when the equivalent DLSS setting didn't...

If you bothered to look for yourself, Newegg was selling the 5800X3D at the $449 MSRP. It was a 3rd party seller selling the CPU for a markup on Newegg.

Any chance of a review of the G.Skill F4-5066C20D-16GVK memory soon?

PC design, technology, and system needs change so much in 20 years that nobody should be expected to keep the same PC case for 20 years. Even most 10 year old PC cases are outdated for modern systems. Sure you can put a system in a 10 year old case, but cooling requirements and storage...

I think Corsair has a very poor pump top design. Also Corsair and EK rate their D5's under different conditions. Also, I don't know if my Corsair pump is defective or if the Corsair pump top design is really just that bad. Flow matters more than people think it does. Especially with higher...

People building higher end systems these days don't want the stock cheaper case fans. They either want a specific RGB fan or they want higher end, more expensive fans for specific purposes. Not including fans is a plus to most buyers of that type of case. You don't need to have a hard drive...

I think I found out why the Optimus AM4 CPU block didn't perform well. It seem that the Corsair XD5 pump doesn't perform similar to other D5 pumps. I decided to build another water cooled PC using my old PC. I was going to use the corsair XD5 in that system and bought an EKWB D5 PWM pump for...

I replaced my Corsair XD5 pump with an EKWB D5 pump because the EKWB D5 pump matched the all black theme of my build better and I was going to use the Corsair XD5 pump in another build. I checked performance before and after with Prime95, AIDA64,a nd Intel Burn Test to see if everything was...
