I was expecting to need to undervolt pronto. I've read so many complaints about power and heat with Alder. Of course, most were referencing the higher core counts. But not always. Just because you can make the 12600 draw over 200W, should not be a knock against it. I will probably do the...

I put about 70-80 hours in. I was good and done with it by that time. Which reminds me, I need to go watch the ending on YouTube. They pulled so many extra go here, now go here's on me, at the end, that I rage-quit. 😛 Part of my reaction was I felt like they trolled me by having me grind, then...

I played on game pass, which I canceled, so no gift for me.

I spent a lot of time on game pass, Epic, and GOG this year, so my Steam Epen0rz is small.

Just as with the melting connectors; it is not happening to enough users statistically to raise any eyebrows. Likely never will. Zen 2 failures are much more prevalent than AM5. The 3600 in particular. They may have been lax with binning to meet demand. AM4 boards are aggressive with settings...

To far less than 1% of CPUs sold. And it is almost entirely an ASRock problem. AMD is replacing CPUs, ASRock is replacing boards. Consequently, there will be no fallout. Going back to yet another Intel user having a bad time due to failing Raptor. It goes back to mid last year, in that...

AMD did make a statement, so did ASRock. AMD blamed board makers for aggressive settings. ASRock said the issue was on their end and that AMD was not at fault. On Raptor: 13th VIA oxidation. The big wig in charge of it, resigned around the time the story broke. Huge red flag. Those CPUs were...

Did they though? Since the story blew up last year, AMD has come to completely dominate retail. How many lost sales due to it? How many future lost sales? The reputation damage has permeated everywhere. OEM/ODM ramped up AMD lines. How many sales did it, and more importantly, will it cost...

ARC is a mixed bag. The CPU overhead issues are real. It was amusing when tech channels finally started covering it. Any of us on Alchemist knew about it already. Unlike when A series was new, have to use 3rd party for streaming, recording, screenshots. Retro-gaming is hit or miss even with...

I'd recommend gamers go used for almost the whole build at the moment. Still get deals in for sale/trade forums. Ignore the Ferengi, of course. Just picked up a 12600kf, Z790, 32GB Ballistix Elite 4000MT/s for $275 shipped. Get a pre-built minus GPU off of Ebay, that can play everything, for...

The movie is steeped in North American rural from the time period. I would not expect someone from a different part of the world to fully relate to it. Some comedy is universal, some is much more nuanced and or targeted.

"Hey guyz! 7200MT/s is officially supported!" Shoppers response - "Not by our wallets!"

My son and I co-oped the hell out of Crackdown. Did not like the second one. Never played the 3rd.

I've been doing it the same way TronicsFix does it here for decades. Time stamped -

My hot take: Any anecdotal results from users that tune/overclock, should be studiously ignored. Nor should you trust randoms for either methodology or honestly. I.E. always err on the side of PICNIC first. Until the numbers become too large to ignore.

Depressingly on point. Let's hope the decision makers are smart enough to use the - if it ain't broke, don't fix it, managerial style.

But they won't get to take DC Comics or any of the other IP with them. My hope is Netflix will let people that love the comics, the characters, the movies, and the books, make the games. Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights are examples of not understanding the fandom. Hogwarts is a great example...

Gaming division's future is sketchy at best - https://www.eurogamer.net/warner-bros-game-studios-minor-netflix-acquisition?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us

FUD over PC gaming dying is almost as old as the hobby. I think it peaked when the PC section in stores like Best Buy shrunk to a tiny display area on a couple of shelves. When it used to be 3 aisle on both sides. PS2 made console super popular again. Then the 360 and PS3 came out with a...

I'll be that guy. :devilish: Am I the only one that remembers when gaming PCs were expensive, especially in adjusted dollars? And aged out way faster? I feel like we get sucked into ragebait over and over like Groundhog day. If a good gaming PC cost me 3K instead of 1K to spec out, no BFD...
