    Windows 11 Now Officially Adware as Microsoft Embeds Ads in the Start Menu

    What's not to like? It's so M$-like, just switch to a serious OS like Linux and climb out of M$ cesspit.

    Unlock the shaders - AMD Radeon RX 560D

    Hi! Here is the unlocked BIOS. Polaris 21 chip is what RX 560 cards use, so it should work. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/amd-polaris-21.g812

    Visually does this GPU seem to have any problems?

    Looks alright on the posted pictures, it's just dusty. I use isopropyl alcohol to clean such cards and I ground the connector plate while doing it.

    Time to update the motherboards layout!

    That is correct, however you _can make a hole there and put another exhaust fan there. I did that in one of my boxes way back when Duron (ThoroughbredB) was a thing.

    Acer Nitro 5 i7 9750H RTX 2060 overheating despite cleaning fans and repasting and undervolted

    Do not use too thin (liquid-like) thermal paste; use more dense one, but fine, thin layer, so it stays where it is supposed to. I've used white silicon (?) based from a local factory that produced telephony equipment and it works well.

    Home "server" CPU choice. Threads VS Cores

    I voted for i7 9700. You get 8 real cores, never mind the hype about threading with 8700, so it's faster and with both being 65W parts it's a pretty sweet upgrade. Here's a comparison from CPU world. Edit: I'm sorry - didn't read the whole topic before posting - I'm sorry to see that you've...

    US Government Wants Nuclear Plants to Offload AI Data Center Expansion

    Looks like they really like _automatic _idiots; they surely were in no hurry to make additional power plants for the people and make utility bills lower in the past.

    New arc A770 16GB Showing Only 512 Unified Shaders?

    Nothing weird about it; nvidia has game processing clusters that can be individual graphics cards that contain texture processing clusters that contain variable amount of shaders and ATi has compute units with 64 or 128 shaders each.

    Help me choose GPU

    The GTX 1080 Ti would be the most economical choice (and a great jump from the 750Ti) if it hasn't been mined with.

    High RX 6750 XT hotspot temps?

    @Dave1 : try and get the 7700 XT instead if you can, the cooler is just not designed properly.

    BSOD and crashes to dekstop on many video games

    Please, also re-test the games, now that the cable has been re-seated (and inspect it). Edit: it looks alright to me.

    3070 Ti - Big performance issues after driver update

    I don't want it to be broken. @haste18 maybe try cleaning the heatsinks of the computer - that is right after the blower; in notebooks a "carpet" of dust tends to build up there.

    NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: AGI Within Five Years, AI Hallucinations are Solvable

    Trust Jen Hsun to first bring us an automatic idiot, then the generalised idiot. That's just what this earth needs. Whoopty doo!
