    NVIDIA Joins US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium

    Safeties on: lower short term profits, still alive to operate businesses in the long run. Safeties off: higher short term profits, humanity wiped out by the machines. Hmm... They're trained off of all our crap, and we're flawed as it is. I wouldn't trust me neither! XD

    NVIDIA RTX 50-series "Blackwell" to Debut 16-pin PCIe Gen 6 Power Connector Standard

    Great for the folks who fall into that group. The air cooling one is far larger though, and they're getting screwed, because: This even applies to the 4080 in some cases.

    NVIDIA Halts Production of RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 to Make Room for SUPER

    Most are going to try to read it as they see it. I'd bet even "tie" guy would do that before he found out about the Latin. Why the heck is English the universal language anyway???

    NVIDIA Halts Production of RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 to Make Room for SUPER

    That numbskull forgot about the periodic table, which is where the naming originated. Some of these elements have letter pairs that are impossible to pronounce aloud, or sound weird/lewd. Take lead(Pb), arsenic(As), or curium(Cm) for example.

    thermal throttling 13900k.

    Hold on... this cpu is hitting 100C in game? You sure that contact frame was installed correctly? Most games won't cause the 13900K to draw anywhere close to the levels of power that it has a rep for: A big ol' 420mm or 360mm AIO won't do a whole lot for low numbers like ^that.

    Tower vs downdraft cpu cooler

    Cases that still have side panel ventilation, either with an APU only system, or a system with a blower gpu. Unfortunately, side panel vents seem to have gone the way of the dodo in favor of glass...

    Thermaltake CTE C700 Mid-tower Chassis Starts Selling

    I don't know about this one, Chief. Seems overkill. I think Silverstone keeps it simple with their chimney cases and Lian Li has a really good implementation inside the O11 Evo - chimney with the upright gpu. It's not 'boring', so I'll give it that, XD Looking forward to reviews, if any.

    CORSAIR Launches iCUE LINK Smart Component Ecosystem with New Fans, AIO Coolers, and More

    No, because they can make more money by locking potential customers in. Choose your walled garden carefully.

    Thermaltake Ceres 300 TG ARGB Mid Tower Chassis Now Available

    There needs to be more chimney style options in the market - besides Silverstone's offerings - to mix things up some more. [Yes, I know about the SL600M, but that was about 4 years ago.] I can see where bonehead be coming from...

    Thermaltake Introduces the CYCLEDESK 100 Smart Gaming Desk at the Indoor Cycling Esports Tournament

    Are they really? Yeah, I know: "That's what I have a problem with?" But it's said that way for all of them, isn't it? They can't all be number 1...

    Best cpu thermal Cases for 360 AIO

    A case is what the user makes of it. Even if a case reviewed positively for thermals, the user can replicate different results via factors such as personal fan curves, radiator+fan placement+orientation. Why would someone do that? They normally wouldn't - I was only saying. Everyone(/s)...

    Thermaltake Launches TOUGHDESK 350 Smart Gaming Desk

    This screams the opposite of smart. Just like with the gaming chairs, just get the office version - or perhaps DIY your own desk if you're willing.

    [Youtube Pop-Up] "Ad blockers are not allowed on Youtube"

    Firefox and uBlock Origin - nothing yet. If they hadn't gotten so obnoxious with ads, I wouldn't be using an adblocker. A couple ads at the start of a video, sure, I can deal with that. A couple at the start, and 1 or 2 more, what feels like every 5 mins(depending on video length) - my interest...

    NVIDIA To Give Away Diablo IV with New GeForce RTX Purchases

    Yeah, like with those, "how do I futureproof my 4K gaming rig" threads. You don't... you'll be upgrading to the halo every gen or every other gen, and once 8K gaming comes along, it'll be the same thing.

    Noctua Presents NA-FH1 Eight-channel PWM Fan Hub

    They REAL late to market with this one, even with the safety reason.
