    Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo Series Brings the Iconic 212 up to 2023 Standards

    agreed 100%, last time i had to install a 212 it was a absolute PITA compared to the bequiet darkrock pro 4 (or whatever its called, cant remember off the top of my head) that i used for a friends build.

    MXM Dell 2GB Radeon WX4130 to 4GB WX4130 BIOS mod possible?

    I have a CH341A programmer, just unsure where it is right now as I had to uproot my computer room to replace the carpet. For now I'm using a FirePro M5100 in the machine that had the WX4310 in it.

    MXM Dell 2GB Radeon WX4130 to 4GB WX4130 BIOS mod possible?

    Just tried your BIOS, also ended up with a bricked card :(. Any other ideas?

    Lenovo Announces New ThinkPad & ThinkVision Products

    Hope they updated the design to allow for 2x M.2 SSD's with any GPU configuration, having only 1x M.2 SSD with any GPU faster than the RTX 3050 in the Extreme G4 was a deal breaker for me.

    MXM Dell 2GB Radeon WX4130 to 4GB WX4130 BIOS mod possible?

    tried the WX4150 version of that, bricked card that was revived with a CH341A programmer. (not doing it again, was a royal PITA to flash it externally)

    XFX Radeon RX 580 shows incorrect x8 bus lanes

    Are the surface mount caps on the rear edge of the connector in good condition and aren't damaged or missing? I have a Radeon HD 5770 that's permanently stuck in PCI-E X4 due to one of the caps being ripped off due to damage during insertion.

    MXM Dell 2GB Radeon WX4130 to 4GB WX4130 BIOS mod possible?

    Hello, (Before you ask, i've checked and the card does actually have 4GB of ram on board, also using a WX4150 or RX560 BIOS bricks the card) As the title says, i have a Dell MXM 2GB WX4130, and while messing with its BIOS and OCing it, i looked at the memory chips on the card (Samsung...

    Sapphire Develops a Fanless RX 5700 XT Card for Rack Airflow

    nice, reminds me of those high end nvidia and AMD GPU's that gigabyte would stick a huge heatsink on in the late 2000's, have owned a few, they work pretty well if you have even a small amount of case aiflow, although those cards where typically 100-125w tdp, so im pretty sure a 5700 XT would...

    PC Freeze with weird sound from HDD

    id say it would be due to a bad power supply, bad power cable to the hdd or a bad connection. i had the same thing happen to one of my own seagates (a 320gb 7200.11 vs a 500gb 7200.12 as seen here, but they are pretty much identical) on a testing PSU, eventually the power supply failed and it...

    Suddenly slow performance from Intel RAID

    that parameter counts up since its logging the amount of bad sectors the drive finds. id replace the drive and get some cooling on them because >50C reduces the lifespan of the drives.

    Ampere A100 vs A102

    Maybe each CUDA core is massivly scaled up compared to GA102's CUDA cores? (and in turn, the rest of the Ampere GPU's)

    Half Life: Alyx - The VR "Killer App" That Likely Wasn't

    I really want to play it, but VR headsets are too expensive and the requirements to run a VR game are too high for a majority of the market to grasp, as well as the physical space requirements, in my opinion. Maybe in a year or two when i save up for a headset. (probably a Vive or index)

    Lenovo T510 Upgrades have arrived (CPU + extra memory)

    i have somewhat equivalent Dell Precision M4500 with the same CPU, quadro FX1800m and a 1080p screen. Works pretty well with the latest version of windows 10, ive also tried a i7 920XM (which i paid $60AUD for) as well, while the increased core count was nice, the increased thermals, power...
