    Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO

    I hear you on people wanting what they want and not caring about spending a few extra bucks. I need to take your advice and not waste my time on trying to convince them. The ones that can't be bothered and let me pick up the setup are the best customers and the easiest to get paid and deal with...

    DeepCool AK620 Digital

    Great review as always! Thank you! I like the digital plate and the performance. This is the question I wanted to ask too. Why did TPU stop reviewing TR products 5+ years ago? Even if they do not provide review samples, TR coolers are so competitively priced, you can just pick one up for less...

    Thermalright Intros AXP90-X53 Full Copper CPU Cooler

    I beg to differ. :roll: Also, anyone who predates Noctua and BQ marketing knows what's up ;)

    AMD Readies Ryzen 7 5700X3D and Ryzen 5 5500X3D Socket AM4 Processors

    5600x3d was DED because of limited availability and ridiculous price (5800x3d was selling for $30-40 more in the same retailer.) I just picked up 5600x3d for $155 and the 5800x3d is selling in the $300 ballpark. So halp price for 2 fewer cores is much better than when it went on sale. It priced...

    I've been running all these 3 7000 specific driver on the Vega iGPU of my 5600G. I haven't been able to install these on the RDNA2 based iGPU of my 6600u.

    AMD Software Adrenalin 22.12.2 WHQL Exclusively for RX 7900 Series Released

    So are you buying flagship gaming GPU to playback media? I am pretty sure gaming performance is priority. Even the 4090 is could be a much more efficient beast for minor frame rate loss, but at that segment, efficiency is not the first thing. iGPU is probably your best bet for efficient video...

    Thermalright Intros Phantom Spirit 120 SE CPU Cooler

    I picked up FC140 over a month ago for ~$60-20% so a bit over $50 out the door after taxes. I got the black one but they have the deal on all three of them. This 20% was still there the last time I checked. Idk if you can use the US amazon and ship to Canada but TR availability here has been...

    Colorful Releases iGame GeForce RTX 4080 Neptune OC-V Graphics Card with 470W Power Limit and AIO Cooling

    Have you confirm that it comes with 600W 4x 8Pin adapter? 450W 3x 8pin and the PCI-e slot 75W will be more than enough top provided 470W.

    PSA: Don't Just Arm-wrestle with 16-pin 12VHPWR for Cable-Management, It Will Burn Up

    My math doesn't doesn't agree with your conclusion. Assuming you are correct that each pin is good for 8amp, 12pins at 12volts are good for 1152W. At 600w they should be handling a little over 4amps if the load is evenly spread, which it probably isn't. We still have plenty of headroom though.

    GIGABYTE RTX 4090 Goes on Sale in Hong Kong Well Ahead of Time, But it's a Paperweight Until Drivers Release

    So Windows won't have drivers for it in their database? I won't be surprised if this GPU with MS drivers.

    AMD Ryzen 7 7700X

    I'm a little confused. 7700x has 4 less cores and threads, and matches (barely beats) 12700k, while using about 30W less. With the rumored specs of raptor, this should be more of 13600k competitor.

    ADATA XPG Atom 50 2 TB

    Keep an eye on Innogrit IG5236 "Rainier" drives like Gammix S70 (blade) as they tend to run cooler as that is a problem with PS5 and have as close as it makes no difference the same performance as the ones Wizzard mentioned.
