    Dead mobo or CPU?

    My thought too. It could be either, but much better odds of it being a motherboard than CPU

    Overwatch 2 Season 16 “Stadium” Trailer Released, New Game Modes, Including 3rd Person View, and Heroes Inbound

    Just doing what Microsoft does best - bury games and developers. Although I think ActiBliz was probably already on this trajectory all by themselves.

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    Metric vs Standard drives me batty. I don't really care which one - just pick one and stick with it. Ford used to drive me nuts with this.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB and 16 GB Models Are Said to Launch Tomorrow with RTX 5060 to Follow in May

    My prediction: this card will hit some lower price point so that nVidia can have a product there, but it won’t be worth the money. It will have too many compromises to make the more expensive cards continue to look good. But people will buy it anyway because it has a green label. And AMD will...

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    I think "Later" was last weekend. Sucks, I'm sorry, but apparently everyone had the same idea as you.

    Nvidia driver crashing with newest drivers and monitor DP port when More than 1 monitor used.

    I just tried this, and my jaw dropped. It's pretty neat. It picks up all sorts of stuff.

    Latest NVIDIA News: RTX 5060 Ti Price Could Be Lower than RTX 4060 Ti, Verified Priority Access Still Exists, RTX 50 Series Launch Called Worst Ever

    Datacenters will chase cheap energy and connectivity. Those two are the largest operating costs by far. Apart from those two things, the physical location doesn't matter at all really. Tariffs only affect the capital purchase once, but energy and connectivity costs are forever.

    New security protocol at work

    Ok that works for this one account. And it's great advise. I have ... 327 different accounts in my password manager right now.

    New security protocol at work

    So, due to a rise in phishing attacks at work, they have implemented a new protocol on MS Exchange. I have to sign into my devices every week. And have a "strong" password that must be changed every 2 months. Ok, that doesn't sound too bad. I have very strong, random passwords in a Manager. I...

    "And after a lot of consideration, we decided to stick with LCD." *cough*the ability to release an OLED version in 2 years and get most of these people to buy another one*cough*

    “Dawn of the Hunt”, the First Major Expansion for Path of Exile 2, Is Now Available as Its Player Count Surged to Nearly 240,000

    Interesting. I thought when the game released in December it was "Early Access paid Beta" because it wasn't feature-complete, and when finished would roll out free-to-play like Path of Exile is now.

    MicroProse Announces Knights of Frontier Valley Which It Describes as “A Challenging, Old-School-Inspired Roguelike RPG”

    Start over from Level 1, but you get to carry over power ups or character levels or something, so there is some carried over improvement between runs. So you do get stronger/more capable over time but you always start back at the beginning. Like a forced repetition. I’m not a huge fan but can...

    Corsair K70 RGB Pro mechanical keyboard...

    The sensitivity was why I ultimately gave up mine. I couldn’t even rest my fingers on the keys

    Tariffs

    Copper conducts heat away from metal really well, but aluminum is better at transferring heat to the air. Thats why you see a lot of Copper block aluminum fin setups As far as other components - some structural items (Lian Li cases, for example, and many laptops). Some conductors/connectors...

    Tariffs

    Now, being April 1, maybe I'm jumping at a joke. But I've seen multiple articles about it today and it seems credible. This is one of the more detailed articles I found: https://www.pcmag.com/news/absolute-madness-trumps-aluminum-tariffs-hit-gpus-desktop-cases So, there is a 25% steel and...

    ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 LC Graphics Card Spotted with Extra ROPs Enabled Showing up to 8% Increased Performance

    I would call this plausible enough to believe. What would be a dead give away would be if the article stated "In stock at MSRP"
