Any hope to see reasonably priced 10 terabyte drives in near future to replace my 2x10 TB 7200 rpm buzzing and vibrating hard drives ? I really don't mind the latest gen in terms of speed.. Even the pci-express 3.0 m2 ssd speed more than enough for my archiving purposes.

I hope you are right if it is designed that way. Although my own pc 10 years old, i help my friends to build hi-spec pc s and repair if i can do it for fun, Free of charge. And i do similar things with my woodworking shop. It just saddens me, when it comes to maintain and repair their stuff...

We dont know the full specs of the this card but lets assume that it doesnt have fan-stop and removable main cooler shroud. Due to dust and dirt ,cooling fins will lose their efficiency earlier because of their small size. Non fan-stop means ,fan will be forcing more stuff to cooling fins...

My Sapphire hd6850 fan went crazy after 3 years of usage, some 8-9 years ago. I couldnt find original replacement fan and i had to Dremel cut plastic housing and fit 3rd party 80 mm fan and connect it to motherboard fan power outlet. If i was not able to that minor repair ,fully functioning...

Why went of the rails ? Are we discussing workstations and quantum computers in low-profile gpu topic ? How ı am criticizing some particular brand while i have brands Gigabyte gtx 1050 ti graphic card ?

Yes,i hope we will see TPU review for this particular model

Longtime HTPC user here,with Silverstone horizontal GD08 case. Gigabyte website doesnt mention if the card has Fan-stop feature. Having triple small diameter fan whining all the time even not gaming is a big let down for me. What a waste ,because Gigabyte is the only gpu maker putting dual HDMI...

2 of the most annoying power consuming devices in my system are internal Asus essence stx2 7.1 sound card and 4 archive disk drives. Whenever i open the pc case my sound card is always one of the hottest component in it. I think sound cards or windows power options should have some kind of...

Thanks for additional info. İ am aware of some advantages of both connection type. i just dont want extra converters,adapters,hubs etc on my existing cable jungle behind the HTPC case and hi-fi rack :) Another problem is entry level new cards such as 6500,6500xt does not even have more than 2...

Triple DP and single hdmi output. Why most of the new release cards comes with the only one hdmi output ? considering nearly all pc monitors have at least one hdmi input and all modern tv s has only hdmi inputs , i dont think its good arrangement for HTPC users like me.Because tv s like mine...

Hi this is my report of audio related results after upgrading to win10 pro with my existing hardware.Sorry for my not so perfect english. about 4 years ago i had stuttering issue on audio playback (and some other annoying things which i cant remember now) on my pc when i change to win10 from...

MSI has cheap model X-570 A PRO with chipset fan stopping below certain temperature (they did not mentioned at which temp) with user selectable fan speed-temp curve. Any chance Techpowerup reviewing their new mobos to see how they are dealing with this issue ?

What about chipset fan running at almost 6000 rpm decided to fail after unpredictable time of usage ? Another tech website already complaining about noise of same mobo.

Hi Inle, thanks for the review, İ have Asus essence stx2 card and i am planning to purchase Adam A7X active speaker and connect it to asus with unbalanced rca cables. Assuming you did same with Evga and Adam A7x during the listening test, Did you experience any noise,hiss or similar unpleasant...

If you use both m2 slots, you will be left with only 4 active sata port. Such a stupid limitation from Intel for hi-end motherboard like taichi.
