When I built my 5800x system I originally bought a Scythe Fuma 2 to cool it and it was $55 if memory serves. It's a much better cooler than any Hyper 212 out there and probably one of the price/performance kings yet. I'm currently running an Enermax LIQmax III 240 AIO on it which cools a bit...

I started using Gigabyte motherboards during the socket 775 era. A p965 chipset board for my first C2D and dropped in a Q6600 later. That board was still working great when I finally retired it about two years ago. The only complaint I ever had with it was the Q6600 wouldn't hit 3.6Ghz but that...

This is one of the greatest pitfalls of tech reviews. Using results from previous reviews can be very hit and miss since something as simple and everyday as a driver update or OS update can make a big difference in the results obtained. Mix together OS updates, game updates, chipset updates...

And the "meanings" of those words and phrases will change as necessity (for the government) dictates to broaden and target any and all people that the government wants to go after. This isn't a slippery slope argument because the UK government has already been doing this for a while.

I've had my Gigabyte Aorus x570 for about two years now and it defaulted to Gigabyte Orange at full brightness from the beginning. It wasn't too bad at first because the brightness and color could be changed using the Gigabyte software in Windows and it would stay that way until changed in the...

Keep in mind that at one time you used to have a choice of what was installed when you installed the OS. In the case of Windows is became fewer and fewer options of what you could choose over time until it was finally decided you no longer had a choice. As the choices became fewer I came to like...

My Gigabyte x570 Aorus Pro Wifi chipset fan has probably never even turned on so I don't even know what it would sound like. It did turn on once because I made it turn on to make sure it worked when I first got the board but that's it. I couldn't even tell you what it sounded like since I put it...

I have a Hyper 212 LED version cooling the Ryzen 2600x in my server. Back in the day it was a great cooler for the price but hasn't been a contender in cooling with regards to price for a very long time. The heatsink re-design better be substantial to make it useful again, especially if they...

I am so glad I don't care about PCI-e Gen 5 NVME drives. I haven't felt my Gen 3 drive has held me back at all and it looks like it's a good thing.

My son absolutely loves the Souls games as well as Sekiro and yet he had a horrible time getting through Elden Ring. He forced himself to finish the game finally but it took months for him to do it because it bored him and he quit playing it multiple times. I can understand the draw of a game...

I'm not going to say she was the worst choice for the part but the real problem with that movie was how they neutered and destroyed the story from the first reboot game. They took absolutely everything interesting about the game and removed it leaving nothing left to work with. That said, I...

I'm with the others who don't seem to care if there has been no new driver in two months. I'm sure if there's a driver issue that you need remedied it can be annoying but for myself I don't have any issues I could point to the driver being a problem. New doesn't always mean better and new...

I'm a glutton for punishment at times but not even I would try to run this game on my old RX570.

Good thing I know my *** from my elbow and am able to decide what I need/want when it comes to a video card so I don't have to rely on recommendations built from people listening to advertising. The only thing I keep hearing about nVidia cards is RT this and RT that which shows so many people...

I have no problem with superhero movies and tend to enjoy them... As long as they have a good story and engaging characters. Both of those elements have been completely missing from most of the Marvel movies since Endgame.

It's perfectly viable for companies to make game demos but they won't do it because it's not cost effective. They have to spend more money to make the demo even if the cost is a drop in a bucket of making the game but more importantly, the demo is more likely to reduce sales because people find...

It's almost guaranteed that I'll end up preferring mouse and keyboard even if I do try the controller. I've tried the controller with a couple other games and the results were not exactly acceptable. Part of the problem is the last time I used a controller on a regular basis was in the SNES...

Don't forget about the time, the very short time, Creative had planned to charge users to get drivers for the cards. That was something planned during the SB Live era and they only pulled it before it went live due to the massive negative feedback. That was the last straw for me regarding...

That assumes that almost all stock was blown through right at the beginning of the release. With the regular releases it seems they had a decent bit of stock but putting it out a batch at a time. If that's the case, replacements shouldn't be an issue but it will hurt the amount of new stock...

It would be very surprising if they don't have quite a bit of margin they can cut. One of the big reasons for the chiplet GPU design was to be able to make GPUs a good bit cheaper especially since the much smaller die size means a lot more chips from the same wafer and fewer bad chips. This is...
