I've used this fluid over a decade in an Exos 2.5 unit. I also was given one of Kyle's which is even older. I've had both and run both for many years. In fact, both are still in use today. I've used this fluid in them and I've never had problems with it.

3DMark stopped using an actual game engine over a decade ago. Since then, it's been entirely synthetic and theoretical. The old Radeon 2900XT used to out perform the 8800GTX in 3DMark but in actual games the former got beaten down hard. 3DMark performance doesn't even necessarily benefit from...

I've worked in shops repairing PC's back in the day and I hated it when some smoker would bring their systems in. Even under the best scenarios, you'd have a thin sticky coating on everything and the computer would stink. More extreme cases it will cause a build up that damages fans and it acts...

If it was available on PC, I would. I do not have a PS5.

Corsair could probably snag some of their engineers. Corsair's blocks aren't as good as the EK's are. EK's problems have never been about design, but rather QC and their prices are excessively high compared to most other options. That said, I have a lot of EK stuff and I've never had problems...

I agree with you. I think we are over the hump on the DEI stuff and alphabet Mafia pandering in entertainment. Unfortunately, we will probably still see vestiges of the woke garbage for several more years.

I got so burned out on WWII games when that's literally all that came out for a couple years there.

This is complete bullshit as well. Every actual female gamer I know wants an attractive protagonist even if its female. This is regardless of them being straight or bisexual or whatever. We don't usually get numbers on what people do in games, but BioWare actually released information on the...

Most benchmarks from most sites at the time indicated that the X1950XTX was slower than the GeForce cards of the day. However, the [H]ard|OCP article on the X1950XTX indicated that in real world gaming performance, the X1950XTX provided a better gaming experience. I remember this well as I had...

The DEI agenda and Alphabet Mafia crap is well known at this point. That's not to say it successfully infiltrates everything, but its pretty obvious when it does. You have companies like Black Rock, Sweet Baby Inc, BGG etc. driving that sort of nonsense. Plus, in this day and age with social...

Probably a undetonated Hell Bomb.

What people need to understand about the 9700 Pro and later 9800 Pro/XT models is that they were the result of ATi's acquisition of a company called ArtX that developed the technology that would make those GPU's what they were. ATi did not develop that on their own. ATi has never been able to...

As I recall they weren't really all that competitive until the end of their run with the GeForce FX 5950Ultra. Prior to that, the 9800Pro/XT etc. had a decisive lead over them in most cases. It wasn't as if you got bad performance with the high end GeForce FX cards. The biggest issues were that...

I don't typically care either. I don't exactly hunt down CPU's that don't have it. But the inclusion or exclusion of it makes no difference to me when purchasing CPU's for personal use. I couldn't care less if its there or not as it will always go unused in my case.
