  1. Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360mm AIO CPU Cooler Review

    Depends on your goals - those fans have much lower airflow and static pressure, so you'll get reduced performance on the aio. Then again, depending on how you're loading it, you may be fine. What CPU are you running?
  2. KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600MHz Memory Review

    Introduction Today we’re taking a look at KLEVV’s CRAS V RGB DDR5 48GB (2x24GB) 7600 memory kit (KD5KGUD80-76B360G) to see how it performs on our Rocket Lake Refresh test bed to see if its speed will put your gaming rig over the top. The KLEVV CRAS V RGB line of memory is available in speeds […]...
  3. Nobody Is Buying AMD Ryzen 9000 Series “Zen 5” CPUs, It’s Claimed

    Amazon has been flash sale-ing 7000 series CPUs for a few weeks now. The 7950x drops as low as $401 for a few hours at a time, the 7700x down to $210, 7950x3d to $450. That's not going to change performance in a material manner. When 7000 series sells though, 9000 will stop in price some and...

  5. MSI Unleashes a Symphony with Its Latest Gaming Headset, Featuring High-Resolution 40mm Neodymium Drivers

    The Corsair HS80 MAX that I looked at last year (and have spent most of this year using) is one worth considering - functionally, you'll either be swapping the USB dongle between machines (or via a KVM) OR having one machine on the dongle and the other on bluetooth. It does get a bit funky when...
  6. MSI Unleashes a Symphony with Its Latest Gaming Headset, Featuring High-Resolution 40mm Neodymium Drivers

    I think this is the one I tried out at Computex this year. Sounded good overall - may look into grabbing one to review.
  7. Anandtech Sails Off Into the Sunset

    They neglected that part for a long time. Earlier this year they started an initiative to create written articles out of past videos... but... I'm not sure the format is translating well. It looks easier than it is to leverage video for written and vice versa.
  8. Anandtech Sails Off Into the Sunset

    I don't think more or less work is a good way to describe it - I would say they are different.
  9. Anandtech Sails Off Into the Sunset

    Earlier today, Anandtech posted a farewell to its audience saying that today is the last day of publishing after 27 years. They stated that Future intends on keeping the site online indefinitely (unlike TheInquirer.net that was snuffed out after it closed) and their forums will remain in...
  10. ADATA XPG PRECOG STUDIO Gaming Headset Review

    Introduction ADATA has been producing computing components and accessories for over two decades and is a well-known entity in the PC component space. ADATA’s XPG (“Xtreme Performance Gear”) brand focuses on gaming hardware and accessories to boost your rig’s performance and looks. On our test...
  11. AMD Will Boost Performance of Zen 5, Zen 4, and Zen 3 CPUs with New Windows Update, Delivering up to 13% Faster Gaming Performance on Ryzen 9 9950X

    It's been mostly an afterthought for the past five years - made the conscious decision about 3 months ago to kick up production on it in search of more revenue.
  12. Some MSI 800-Series Motherboards May Include A 8-Pin Power Connector, Possibly for Use with Next-Gen Graphics Cards

    Having not talked to anyone about it, I have a different guess - it could be to enable 100w PD over USBC/thunderbolt port. We've had other boards with a bonus 6 pin connector for this - I don't remember the PD wattage, but 65w would jive with a 6 pin....
  13. AMD’s New Optimized Performance Profile Feature for Ryzen 9000 Series Processors Can Boost Gaming Performance by up to 17%, MSI Says

    The value equation will likely change - I don't expect the 7000 series to remain on the market once they sell through stock at current prices. That will allow the 9000 series prices to fall a little bit with nothing to cannibalize.
  14. AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU Review: 8-Core Zen 5 at $359

    @Brent_Justice can probably expand more on this... 1. We haven't had stability issues with our systems. 2. We're using AMD's suggested configuration, which is essentially the X670E board and EXPO ram kit that they shipped for the Zen 4 launch reviews. We haven't dabbled with various...
  15. Steam Survey Shows Windows 10 Continues to Be the Preferred OS of Gamers as Windows 11 Loses Ground

    I made a gpo adjustment on the Pro edition a very long time ago and auto updates have stayed off....
  16. Cooler Master Joins the 57″ Ultrawide Monitor Club with its GP57ZS

    Today Cooler Master is officially launching its 57″ GP57ZS Ultrawide monitor. We first got a look at it at Computex a few months ago and on the surface, it appears to be a strong competitor to Samsung’s 57″ Odyssey Neo G9 that debuted at CES 2023 and subsequently became my daily driver monitor...
  17. GIGABYTE X670E AORUS PRO X Motherboard Review

    I would expect this one to stay on the market - when you look at X870E vs X670E, the IO is the same, the main difference is USB4/Thunderbolt being required which will put them at a higher price point than X670E based boards. For motherboards we are getting for review right now, we are making...
  18. Acer Predator Hermes DDR5 6800MHz 32GB (2×16) Memory Kit Review

    And with that, your bot posting days here are done.
  19. An Update on AMD’s Ryzen 9000 delay, Intel’s 13/14th Generation Stability Issues and the Impact on Future CPU Reviews

    Brent took a few minutes (or thirty) to jump into the latest updates in the CPU world related to the Ryzen 9000 launch (and by launch, I do mean delays). While we’re waiting for the alleged new embargo dates, Brent puts a few logs on the campfire to talk about the current state of affairs. […]...
