    AMD Introduces New AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series Processors and Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series Processors for the Ultimate Workstation

    So does this mean that TRX50 boards will have at least 8 DIMM slots but only 4 will work on HEDT chips?

    Gigabyte Previews New Aorus Gaming Chair

    A year ago, my mother purchased absolutely the same inflatable chair (sans the Giga logos) for herself from the local home improvement store. It was about 25 Euro. She used it for an hour and after trying to get up from it a couple of times, she told me to get rid of this piece of .... Gigabyte...

    EK Launches Vector Water Blocks for PowerColor Red Devil RX 6800 & RX 6900 Cards

    Wow... Only six months later than they should have been released initially... I guess some deal was made with Power Color for exclusivity to delay them so much... Oh well... I sold my Red Devil 6900xt two months ago so thank you but no, thank you!

    Club3D Intros DisplayPort to HDMI 4K-120Hz Adapter

    VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) is part of the HDMI 2.1 specification! If a certain device does not support VRR it is not HDMI 2.1 compliant. This is why Club 3D removed HDMI 2.1 from the spec sheet on their web site and are only specifying it as a Displayport 1.4 to HDMI 4K 120Hz

    Soundblaster Z crackling sound

    Hey guys, maybe not a solution for everybody here but what I finally did after everything else failed was to order myself a Creative SB OMNI 5.1. It is a USB external sound card with support for DDL and works perfectly fine! No matter the Windows (or MAC OS for that matter) version. The latest...

    Intel Scores Another AMD Graphics Higher-up: Ali Ibrahim

    It's funny how Intel is collecting all the people AMD is getting rid of... Strange tactics on behalf of Intel... There is somebody in Intel that is actually thinking: "Those people did shit at AMD, let's get them..." :D

    Soundblaster Z crackling sound

    Two different computers and several clean Windows 10 installations have proven me right! I even tried only Windows and the drivers... 2 to 3 minutes at most and DDL breaks!

    Soundblaster Z crackling sound

    It does not. :( I'm back to the modded AE5 driver I did and things are bearable for the time being. I will most probably either go back to analog 6 channels or get another Sound card that does DDL properly in the future.

    Soundblaster Z crackling sound

    Nope it does not work. At least not for me. I did "fffffff" which is a lot bigger number and that can in most cases get me through a day without issues. Not always but I get the issue quite rarely nowadays. Basically the faster the computer is something screws up faster and you need bigger...

    Soundblaster Z crackling sound

    That "Official" solution is quite old and does not work in 99.9% of the cases! Creative Tech support have been repeating it forever. Even making the number bigger doesn't always help...

    EVGA Announces the NU Audio Pro 7.1 Sound Cards

    miniITX no, but consider people with two (or more) GPUs and others with vertical GPUs... mounting one additional PCIe card in those cases is not always easy, let alone two... Sound cards are a high end/enthusiast level products now days so those cases mentioned above will be more common... And...

    EVGA Announces the NU Audio Pro 7.1 Sound Cards

    Dear EVGA, how many free PCIe slots do you think we have? Also, seriously? Two cards to do the job of a single one??? Maybe an Audio SLI connector for "Better Audio Processing" is next?

    Did you by any chance skip step 3?

    Soundblaster Z crackling sound

    I did not even get to gaming. One YouTube video was enough.... Tried several restarts, different settings... nothing helped... Rolling back to my patched driver restored my sound. Maybe it's just my config... I don't know... but the facts are facts...

    Soundblaster Z crackling sound

    Absolutely not! I tried this "new" driver and it was awful! DDL was breaking every 2 minutes or so... Also there were some sound issues. It may work for other people but definitely not for me!
