    New Stream Deck and Wave Mic Among Five Products Announced by Elgato

    What metadata are you even talking about? What "log in" are you even talking about? I have the 15 key stream deck on my gaming computer, and 32 key stream deck and elgato wave 3 on my streaming computer, I didn't even log in to any of the apps, so what are you talking about?

    New Stream Deck and Wave Mic Among Five Products Announced by Elgato

    Um.... what are you even talking about? No elgato product requires or even has an option for subscriptions aside from the mobile app. It seems you are wrongly biased because of the one "product" Elgato launched FOR people like you who didn't want to get a physical stream deck.

    Intel Core i9-14900KS Draws as much as 409W at Stock Speeds with Power Limits Unlocked

    8 pin EPS can handle up to 336W, but even then there are boards that cannot handle this much power, this person had a Z790A-D4, that has two 8 pins, and he was able to pull 500W+ on the CPU before the VRMs blew. I wouldn't trust a VRM that blows at 500W, to handle 400W.

    Counter-Strike 2 Performance Benchmark

    Sorry I just saw this, try disabling SMT. I have a 9900K, and the only thing different with my build and a lot of other gamers is, I purposely disabled hyperthreading which also got me a 300 MHz higher overclock, but I get the feeling after chatting with lots of other CS2 players, SMT and HT...

    Ah I see, I guess I might have to list mine on ebay now (they have been going up in value for some reason) haha

    All Intel DG1 needs special bios?

    Does the GPU actually work with AV1 encoding? I have an Asus DG1-4G and was hoping it would work with AV1 encoding so I can pass through that GPU to a virtual machine for handbrake transcoding!

    Intel NUC 12 Extreme QoL Changes

    OP did change the CPU socket retention bracket with one of those 10$ CPU holders and that alone decreased the CPU's temps considerably!

    QNAP Launches TS-855X High-performance 8-core 10GbE NAS

    I would rather buy this and top it off with SSDs and whatever NIC I need for less money: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FhbgRv Oh I forgot to mention, you can use it as a computer too. It supports virtualization, so just dedicate a few cores from that CPU for whatever virtual machines you want...

    Alleged Apple Mixed Reality Headset Material Cost Leaks Out

    My guess is it will be 1500$ MSRP, with the build cost being 750-1000$. Ain't no way Apple expects to sell this to normal customers at 3000$, let alone 1500$.

    But what if something stops working, will Asus give him warranty?

    Intel Core i7-13700K

    Nope, voltage controls and power controls are available on any chipset! CPU overclocking however, requires a Z chipset (unless you go through some BCLK workaround), and an unlocked multiplier, so that you can increase the multipliers past stock.
