    MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z Is Already Brewing Up a Storm Thanks to Its Two 12V-2×6 Connectors and 2,500 Watt XOC BIOS

    Man talk about a halo product. You need two dedicated power supplies to feed that beast of a card and potentially a 3rd for the rest of the system. And maybe even commercial power to feed those! Yeesh... Im pretty confidant my home power wouldn't cut it without some creative solutions...

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    Finishing pathfinder wrath of the righteous. Need to do another attempt at bg3. My attention span keeps getting diverted. (Loke for the above pathfinder game) and I loose track... feels daunting to try and pick it up again from where I left off.

    The BEAUTIFUL GPU connector that keeps on giving

    Ooof... Just gotta love design reliant on everything else being perfect. Clearly a solution designed for the nuburgring. (Car stuff reference. IYKYK,)

    PC Hardware Manufacturers Answer as to Whether or Not Its Better to Use Bundled GPU Adapters or Native PSU 12V-2×6 Cables

    Would love to see you guys get your hands on one of these for some actual testing and failure testing to see how it works and what it does. Because I would be interested for sure.

    ASUS Debuts Pro WS B850M-ACE SE, a Multi-Use Motherboard Capable of Using AMD Ryzen or Epyc Processors with Server-Grade IPMI Management

    I find it interesting that the usb ports are not more.impressive and that the memory support is constrained to 256gb even for an epic cpu. Seems to me.thst other than remote management its actually lacking in serving a workstation compared to an actually hedt motherboard. No support for...

    Cinebench 2026

    Wow...... that's nearly 2x a straight 128 cores without SMT. I guess SMT isn't dead!

    Vince Zampella, Call of Duty Co-Creator, Co-Founder of Respawn and Infinity Ward, EA Exec, Was Tragically Killed in a Car Accident

    Heck my new truck has a 0 to 60 of 4.8 seconds and it weighs 2.5 tons.

    This is how badly Intel screwed itself over

    @igor_kavinski your post is interesting. I recall when the amd and Intel positions had been swapped. When AMD was always scrambling until Lisa Sue came along and took some steady state deep risks and gave the cpu teams time to mature their tech fully.

    Michał Kiciński, Co-Founder of GOG and CD PROJEKT RED, Acquires DRM-Free Digital Distribution Platform For $25 Million and Promises It Will Remai...

    We need to be honest here. Steam is far more than just a software reseller and distributor. They offer tightly integrated chat and forums. A independent transaction processor that feels very secure. They fund game development and dont put overly stringent restrictions on what they will...

    New Benchmarks for AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Spotted as Hopes Increase for a Debut at CES

    That is an interesting idea. 12 large cores for 24 threads with x3d v cache. And 24 compact cores for 24 threads for light work computation. If they can identify what threads needs what processors and keep.thwt division up under heavy load that would be awesome. I just worry that the...
