XFX brand still exists, just doing AMD cards now. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they moved away from Nvidia due to GPP.

Thanks for the 9900KFCpu review! It was finger lickin' good! I see no issue with Intel selling these "defective" chips for a little less. I'd consider it for myself if I was in the market. I was rooting for 5.1ghz stable or more, but the 5.0 isn't necessarily a deal breaker. Now if it couldn't...

I never did get into SLI/Crossfire personally. However, I built my first pc with the plan of adding a 2nd 6800ultra in SLI, but never did. Since then I've always just been a one card show, buying the best single card I could afford. If SLI or Crossfire come back around I'd like to explore it for...

Nice to see Valve really has their finger on the pulse of their pc gaming community...

The Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut really stood apart from the competition. Especially under high thermal load with an AIO. So the gallium in the Conductonaut doesn't react with intel/AMD IHS?

Thanks for the overclocking review Brent, I really enjoyed reading it! Overclocking really magnifies the weak cooling performance of these reference coolers. Too bad the power limit and overclocking headroom on the 5700 are limited so low. I get the feeling the 5700 has more potential than...

Sounds like typical spin, down play your weaknesses and hype your strengths. It is impressive what Intel has done with 14nm for so long, but time has run out. They need the next node asap.

Maybe Zen2 Threadripper will be 4000 series? Ryzen kind of took the Threadripper model numbers, Ryzen 3900x and 3950x. Or will they have the same model # but have Threadripper always in the name, Threadripper 3900x, Threadripper 3950x?

I had the same thought, glad to see them still hanging in there. I think I was confusing Biostar with Epox for a minute there.

Ryzen 5 1600

I have no issue with blower designs as a reference cooler. Don't get me wrong, if AMD offers a blower and a dual/tri fan reference in the future then that's great. More options are always better than less. I understand blowers can only have one smaller fan vs dual/tri fan coolers. If I wanted a...

I was aware that x570 was going to draw more juice but that does seem like a big jump in wattage for a chipset. How would a bios update reduce chipset wattage, by lowering voltages?

Thanks for the review! 5700 looks like a great card. I too hope non reference cards can get those temps lower and clocks even higher. Happy to see a more efficient architecture over GCN from AMD. But would RDNA make for a good high end large die GPU? Either way it is a step in the right direction.

If stacking and nano wires is the way to continue Moore's Law, than I'm all for it. I wonder what stacking would do as far as thermals go? Would we see a reduction in clock speed but an increase in IPC?

Interesting. This must be why we are seeing some 2060 Super GPU's manufactured by Samsung?

Nice review, thanks guys! These super cards are turning out better than I expected. I agree that the $1,000 price point should be left to the Titan class. I am looking forward to the Ray-Tracing and Overclocking reviews. Is there any way you can tell if your 2060 super was manufactured by...

Only time I really sliced myself open good was sleaving an Antec psu. I had the psu chassis open finishing off the sleeving with the open PC case next to me. Suddenly I felt my hand was wet and I had blood dripping down off my hand. I had blood in the psu and in the PC case! So much fun cleaning...

Fallout 76 and Rocket League I've been sucked into the Fallout realm since FO3, then New Vegas, then FO4, now 76. I just can't seem to get enough of the post apocalypse world. Rocket League is just such a great time with some friends online. Especially now with crossplay.

Windows Defender. Ran Avast for years on my personal machine, but decided to leave it out of my last fresh OS install. So far so good, knock on wood...

Sounds like a slippery slope to me. I won't be investing in a Xbox.
