The older Mac Minis used Intel CPUs that were based on x86 architecture. The latest Mac Mini has M1 chip and doesn't have a CPU with x86 architecture. How is the software and operating system compatible with the new chip? I just don't get how this architecture works.

Thank you so much.

My rank (or "level") was 120 or something several days ago. Now, this season, after the patch, it went down to 55. Why did this happen?

Chipset drivers are not like GPU drivers. If I do not install them after installing Windows 10 anew, I don't see any problem like not being able to play games or use GPU based software. What is the purpose of installing them? They are downloadable from AMD (or Intel) website or motherboard...

I saw some people are leaning in this game like in Rainbow Six Siege. I cannot do it. Is it because I am playing on PC? How can I lean in this game?

What does happen if the hacker or buyer adds his own CD-keys and credit cards and then makes purchases with his own credit cards? Can you still get it back from the buyer or hacker?

Selling Steam account is against Steam ToS, as far as I know. However, I know that many people trade accounts. Isn't there a risk that the seller can recover the account by contacting Steam support and providing the following information?: the first registration email Credit card information...

Thanks a lot for the link. And, no, I am not a cheater. I am interested in learning what avenues for cheating is available. It is only curiosity.

I never owned a gaming console. I don't know much about them. In PCs, you can run whatever code or software you want on your PC. This allows you to cheat on video games, even online. Some people even use hardware based cheats on PCs, such as PCIeScreamer (to read or write computer memory) or...

It's amazing that this question got no replies. Asus has a better BIOS, IMO. As you are getting a 9700k, power delivery should not be an issue with MSI, but it's still MSI. So be careful. I have heard many horror stories with MSI but don't want to say something extremely negative as I have no...

Yes AiO cooler would be good. Noctua D-15 is too big IMO. Also, its fans look ugly. But you should make sure you can fit an AiO cooler into your case.

9900k has more cores. If you are doing anything which can benefit from a higher number of cores, 9900k is a better choice, of course if you are financially well enough to afford it.

Lately, my Ryzen system (the one in the original post) started to crush with any ram speed above 2666MHz. More sadly, it cannot go above 3.7GHz recently (probably as a result of degradation), even with 1.4volt. I already had an inch to switch to Intel since 8700k came out, as you have read in...

I am considering to switch to 9900k + 2080 Ti from R7 1700 + 1080 Ti build. I think I will overclock both GPU and CPU. I have a Seasonic 650w Focus+. Can my PSU handle it? My build will be like: i9 9900k RTX 2080 Ti G.SKILL Trident Z 3200MHz C14 WD 1 TB Black + Samsung 850 Evo 1TB SSD +...
