    CableMod Recalls 12VHPWR v1.0 and v1.1 Angled Adapters

    It is a crazy amount to spend and potentially lose, it can be quite a stressful situation... that's kind of you to say. I was unlucky enough to be affected by this and lost the power connector on my 4090 to a 180° CableMod adapter on the male side, a 1.0 revision. It was fully seated and still...

    "Downfall" Intel CPU Vulnerability Can Impact Performance By 50%

    Ouch. Though I must admit I was expecting worse from the title of the article, potential impact on AVX2 and AVX-512 workloads seems far more limited than say, any and all workloads at least. But regardless, I'm not sure if this is an odd thought.. but I can't shake the feeling sometimes that...

    iCue software is not easy to use.

    I can't speak to it with peripherals like keyboard & mouse but I can assure you, it used to be a lot, lot worse and barely, if at all, functional. At least now I'm able to set fan curves which actually work and it doesn't freeze or crash.

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

    Ouch, feel bad for the employees but the block prices are Insane. For very little improvement in temperature and a block that costs a little over 2x as much as my 1080Ti one... I've had to make a hard pass. It's not worth it.

    First AMD Radeon RX 6x50XT Card Pricing Posted by Italian Retailer

    Well, the article says: "These prices are simply pure nonsense and should not be taken as an indicator of what these upcoming cards will cost." I do feel sorry for many in Europe who have to suffer VAT though.The prices really are improving in Australia though I haven't noticed any AMD GPU...

    G.SKILL Updates Trident Z Neo DDR4 Specs Up To DDR4-4000 CL16 16GBx2 for AMD Ryzen 5000

    Thanks, I was initially put off doing this due to the lack of availability of the GTZN in Australia and not wanting to end up with the GTZNC but ultimately found a couple of stores that sold GTZN kits. On my 3900X, they ran quite easily overclocked to 3800MHz with CL14 timings with a 1900MHz...

    G.SKILL Updates Trident Z Neo DDR4 Specs Up To DDR4-4000 CL16 16GBx2 for AMD Ryzen 5000

    But not all available in 16GB DIMMs previously, no? With the new sticks, I'm looking to start with 2x16GB 3800MHz CL14 sticks.

    NVIDIA Ampere A100 GPU Gets Benchmark and Takes the Crown of the Fastest GPU in the World

    Impressive by any means. I'm curious how the 250w PCIe version of the card performs compared, considering Nvidia stated 90% of the performance of the SXM4 card.. it'd be nice to know what that 90% is, in different metrics for performance. Also, extremely curious once perhaps yields are more...

    Everest Sets Stretch Goal for a Midnight Black Edition of its Innovative Keyboard

    Ah, I do see. Finally saw an accurate picture. Understandable. Though I personally can't hold it against them for a Kickstarter project like this.

    Everest Sets Stretch Goal for a Midnight Black Edition of its Innovative Keyboard

    Err... you can just change the keycaps out for that and then you set the keyboard layout in Windows or whichever OS.

    LG OLED TVs Receive NVIDIA G-SYNC Upgrade Starting This Week

    Mm, I find that very interesting and a nice addition. It's also great to hear that lower resolutions can utilise a higher refresh rate. As for all the FreeSync/G-Sync/G-Sync Compatible "debate" going on, I think I'll just continue referring to the objective analysis from BlurBusters & TFTCentral...

    Razer Phone Unveiled, First Smartphone with 120 Hz Display

    Aren't they all using vsync though? This is a cooler product than I was expecting though from Razer, the 120Hz panel is a nice move and I'd love the fluidity. Though I currently wouldn't sacrifice the AMOLED display on my Note 8 for 120Hz, as much as I love high refresh rates. I doubt it, not...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Ditches Amazon Web Services for Microsoft Azure

    That's honestly exactly what I would have thought too, so it left me somewhat confused as I thought AWS would have massive scalability potential. All I know is that their Asian servers, quote from this article, had an issue where the "cloud service ran out of capacity". That and their constant...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Ditches Amazon Web Services for Microsoft Azure

    That's actually quite interesting, wonder how far the stability and capacity can be ramped up compared to the issues with AWS.

    First Intel Processor with AMD Radeon Graphics Within 2017

    Because AMD isn't nearly as much as a threat to Intel as Nvidia is in terms of their establishment of several new revenue streams in all massive growth segments. Intel sales were down last year, if I recall. The problem is, Nvidia isn't establishing themselves as a chip manufactuer but has...
