    Gamescom 2021 Will Be An All-Digital Event

    And five board members got ~29 million dollars in bonuses. Yes, pays very well to lie to gamers, they'll believe anything and shower you in money regardless.

    Swiftech H220 X2

    Seems to me that the cheap swiftech fans performs pretty much on par with the expensive much hyped extra thick NB eLoops. Quieter at max load and a only couple of degrees C worse. Yes eLoops are not worth the hefty price tag, not to me anyway.

    Toshiba HK3R2 960 GB

    Yeah, that looks like an error. And a very high score for only 2 users is kinda pointless anyway. Yes, that people refer to Mysql as a "proper" "enterprise" database always make me giggle. PostgreSQL is where it's at.

    Raijintek Announces Triton AIO CPU Cooler

    Do they have an agreement with Asetek? Otherwise they might expect to be sued. It kinda looks like it both on the outside and specs-wise. And I agree, the DC-LT is not a good pump, gets beat by Switechs in-house pump every day of the week. I have run a Swiftech H220 on a 4820K and R9 290 both...

    LEPA Unveils Four New Barometric Oil-less Bearing Fans

    So few and far between good fan reviews out there, I guess it pays to go the bling marketing route. 160 Kh MTBF sounds good though, but will they actually be any better than say a Nidec Servo Gentle Typhoon? Nidec makes quite some fans for the industry, kinda proven stuff compared to this I think?

    EK Launches a New Dual DDC 3.2 PWM Pump Setup

    Not really. The design is pretty much the same. PWM control makes it easy to keep them on lower RPMs and then they are reasonable quiet. On max RPM though, that high pitched whine is very irritating. I keep my MCP35x at about 3000 RPM, then I can't hear it. Some say custom tops make a fair bit...

    Acer Unveils the B326HUL 32-Inch WQHD Display

    Same VA-panel as in the Benq Bl3200pt?

    NVIDIA GM204 and GM206 to Tape-Out in April, Products to Launch in Q4?

    Nothing is going wrong at TSMC. Their 20nm planar process was never intended for high performance silicon. It was made for low power, like small ARM SOC and such. There is a reason Intel developed their trigate for 22nm. We will pretty much require a finfet process for sub 28nm, planar will...

    No 20 nm GPUs from AMD This Year

    Nobody is surprised really. TSMC never promised that their 20nm planar process would be able to to do high performance chips. It has been intended since the beginning for low power ARM SOC and such. Never for big GPUs. There was a rumour around that TSMC was planning a high performance branch of...

    ASUS Offers Full Support for AMD FX-9000 Series CPUs with Existing 990FX Boards

    There are a lot of crappy power supplies out there. A good 600 W PSU can cope much better than many a SUPER-SPECIAL-9999 units out there. Aaand AMD seems to think that bigger numbers are the bomb. Or something. Marketing, never understood it.
