Have you guys seen the Peerless Assassin Mini? They make a black and a white version: https://www.thermalright.com/product/peerless-assassin-120-mini-black/ Not super cheap at $35 but it's dual tower and compact. Heatsink is 135mm tall. Fan may add a few mm just from the pictures but I may...

Does this mean everyone has given up on RDNA4 before it has even come out?

Not an expert, but I am an engineer and have been trying to follow CAD benchmarks for a long time so this topic is kind of up my alley. I'll try to post some things and examples I have come across. I'm not sure why, but Intel is faster at some modeling, SolidWorks for example. A long time...

I was an idiot and got one of each price mystery box. Here is what I got. Spoiler...a bunch of junk. Not sure which item goes with which price box. RGB Keyboard: https://visiontek.com/products/ocpc-kr1-gaming-mechanical-keyboard The one I got has red switches which did not feel very...

Gamers Nexus did a video about transient power spikes on gpus, and specifically the RTX 3080 and 3090. The video was over a year ago and those were the highest power draw cards at the time. Anyway, they pulled almost double the average power draw for very short spikes. Some power supplies...

Microcenter incomplete could mean that some accessories are missing. I have seen motherboards in antistatic bags, all you get is the motherboard, or sometimes maybe just wifi antennas are missing. Other times it might be that m.2 screws are missing or the backplate is missing. Just check the...

Prime 95 for a few minutes works well too.

???? worried about burning up the cpu because of the old bios..... so the logical thing was to try to do a bios update without a cooler ???

Wow, time flies. I remember going to a local Best Buy at lunch to pick up a 4850. Best Buy was clearing out old gen cards and had I think it was a $50 coupon floating around. Then they screwed up and put out the 4850 cards a few days early, so I used the coupon for the new 4850. Others did...

Funny timing on this leak, right after cpus and boards are dying. It's almost like they are afraid people will go Intel.

Benchmarks from different sites are very different, it's really confusing. Something seems really wrong or off somehow. This guy...can't understand the language...has some cpu benchmarks that show AMD really sucking hard. He has an update in the comments where the 7700X has some very low 1%...

If I remember correctly we were labeled "Wounded Monitor Children" WMC or something close to that. Sucks just typing that.....

I got my $50 and $20 orders yesterday. I got 3 items and they were all packed in one box: 128GB m.2 SSD data vault docking port disappointing, but not completely unexpected
