I still use a local account and it still has not created any issues for me. Fake outrage over a prompt inside windows settings is stupid. Why are you spending so much time within Settings anyway to the point that you get offended by this? If anything, isn't that where a prompt like this...

Reality check: The article linked by TomsHardware is a Chinese news article, written in China. So if you are claiming that Chinese newspapers are writing articles pushing pro-US, anti-China propaganda, I'd say that's pretty unlikely... or an author is about to fall out of a window. The...

I don't think you appreciate how large California is. Northern California and Southern California might as well be two different states. Driving from the Bay Area to Los Angeles would be like driving from New York City to Durham, NC. Even just looking at the Bay Area, it can be over 100 miles...

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I was trying to argue with you. Thanks for posting your resume though?

OK, thanks for the tip. I only knew that the SE had a handful less fins, and so I assumed that was what pendragon1 was referencing when he mentioned the 5 pin difference, since it's the only Phantom Spirit version that has fewer fins. This picture was created using official product images...

Funny how they push the propaganda about their domestic tech getting better and better, but in reality they are still desperate even for low-end Nvidia technology.

All of the Phantom Spirit models with the top cap have 5 more fins compared to the SE versions. The 5 extra fins are part of the top cap. The SE versions have no top cap, that's why you can see the tops of the heatpipes.

Impressive to see the Phantom Spirit beating many 280mm AIOs and hanging in there with many 360mm AIOs. I don't see that they actually improved anything compared to previous Phantom Spirit models other than the fans though.

Yeah I know that diminishing returns is part of the equation. But clearly diminishing returns aren't going to be the exact same for every single AIO. This difference is what I'd like to see covered more in various reviews. Not just "It's too loud because I can actually hear the fans". I'm...

You have to go back 7+ years now to find CPUs that don't support Windows 11. Any system that can still reasonably be considered new will support Windows 11. If your PC is only "a few years old" then it's almost certainly supported. Most CPUs that are even somewhat new have TPM built-in to the...

What happens when you press the power button on both of the side monitors (power them off)? It should interpret that the same as if those monitors are now disconnected, and automatically switch to just using the center monitor. And when you power those side monitors back on, it should...

It seems like you're trying to make things way more difficult than they need to be. If it works from the rear port(s), then just buy an extension cord... Either one just for the mic, or two and run the whole headset from the rear and ditch the USB adapter completely...

Drives that are stupid expensive aren't particularly impressive IMO. Get it down to a realistic cost per TB, and only then does it become noteworthy. For the price of this thing, I'd rather just get a PCIe riser card and load it up with high quality Samsung drives, example...

If your screen space is that limited, then why not just auto-hide the taskbar?

The newest CPUs that don't meet the official Windows 11 requirements are now over 7 years old, and will be ~8.5 years old by the time Windows 10 hits EoL. Honestly, that's a pretty good run. The only reason why they aren't officially supported in Windows 11 is because they contain known...
