  1. Cooler Master Announces TD500 MAX PC Case That Comes Pre-installed with 360mm AIO and 850W Gold ATX 3.0 PSU

    850W and a 360MM rad for the CPU is absolutely enough for any standard stock gaming desktop, and that's if you go for a 4090 / 7900XTX and 14700K+ rather than a power-sipping 7800X3D. Now, with the Intel CPU and overclocking both CPU and GPU, you absolutely can pull more than 850W if you run a...
  2. Researchers Have Discovered A Solution For Preventing OLED Burn-In

    I'd bet on this one perhaps sooner than later; OLED advancement has become a high priority. Even the stuff that has been planned out for the next few years dwarfs what we have now in terms of quality.
  3. ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router with 7,200 Mbps Speeds and 34 Gbps of Combined Wired Capacity

    I've gotten >700Mbps Speedtest results from an iPhone 12 from across my house, to my 1Gbps ATT fiber router. I've since stopped efforts to run cables everywhere; that fiber router is the bee's knees in terms of bandwidth (and I have a UAP6...LR I think sitting around if the ATT router stops...
  4. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Founders Edition Review: The 4080 Done Right

    It's only overpriced if they can keep it in stock...
  5. Alien: Romulus Teaser Trailer Delivers Blood, Dread, and Plenty of Facehuggers

    Had to go put that one in the cart... 'Alien' in UHD was pretty good. Just the right amount of grain works for cinematography. So much so that cameras have advanced to eliminate noise as much as possible, only for post-process tools to introduce advanced grain addition algorithms in the backend.
  6. stupid huge 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 240hz monitor on "sale" for $1800

    The more gently-curved ones just feel natural. Strongly-curved monitors would take a bit getting used to in comparison.
  7. ASRock Z790 PG LIGHTNING Motherboard Review

    That is one nekked-looking board...
  8. Horizon Forbidden West Reveals PC Specs and Customization Options, including FoV Slider

    I still have a few 2TB NVMe drives that need upgrading to 4TB... :ROFLMAO:
  9. Core i9-14900KS Runs So Hot, Intel Is Allowing Delidded Systems from Select PC Makers with Full Warranty

    They're typically binned for this purpose too. So there is ostensibly a difference, it's just typically not worth it for anything except bragging rights. :)
  10. ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 HERO BTF Motherboard Surfaces at French Retailer for 799€

    Well, it's release MSRP with two prior Z790 releases still available on the market, and it's in Europe, where people get screwed by ASUS.
  11. Fractal Launches North XL Gaming PC Case with Real Walnut or Oak Panels

    Sure; anything that isn't a box is inefficient space-wise. However I do think the aesthetics angle is working for the North. Seems to go well with ASUS' ProART line in black and gold.
  12. Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver Official Trailer Confirms April Streaming Date for Zack Snyder’s New Film on Netflix

    It is possible that: it will be pretty the music may be good So it may earn one half star.
  13. ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 HERO BTF Motherboard Surfaces at French Retailer for 799€

    This'll probably be US$800 unless ASUS is just reaming the Euros. Hard to say if it's a good price; some folks will pay more for the 'BTF' feature over a standard Hero board, but the Hero is already pretty expensive.
  14. ASUS Intel 700|600 Series and AMD AM5 Motherboards Gain Support for up to 256 GB of DDR5 Memory

    Absolute stability over service life. I've been pretty surprised how overspec'd server power supplies can be; completely different ballgame in comparison to your average gaming desktop. You'd have to do something that actually hits RAM hard, and I don't know of much short of one of the...
  15. MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GAMING X SLIM WHITE 16G GPU Review: 4060 Ti 16GB vs 8GB

    I could see the utility for folks that are looking to have Nvidia's featureset at hand along with 16GB of VRAM... you know, if they hadn't cut the PCIe bus in half to x8. Would make sense for a lot of content creation applications on a budget. But unless you're building a new system with PCIe...
  16. stupid huge 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 240hz monitor on "sale" for $1800

    Nothing wrong with that, it'd be much worse if it were 1440p as you'd want to have high enough resolution to run scaling... to make up for the poor pixel structure of Samsung's VA panels. Not saying that the panels don't look stellar when you do use scaling, they absolutely do.
  17. ASUS Intel 700|600 Series and AMD AM5 Motherboards Gain Support for up to 256 GB of DDR5 Memory

    Perhaps that's not too far off at ~19W/stick, if you consider that 64GB sticks are fairly dense. I was going by my experience with overclocking 16GB sticks, which would top out at 10W before they got too hot to keep stable (but this is with the poor slapped-on cooling that Corsair and G.Skill...
