    Phase Change Material (PCM)

    No it's not delidded, and it was 15C worse than Kryonaut Extreme. If that isn't complete counterfeit, well, I just do not know what to tell you. I already have Thermalright Helios (which is also PTM). I know what PTM is supposed to perform like.

    Phase Change Material (PCM)

    This stuff is fake. I put it on my 13900k and ran Cinebench R23 and got 100C in *seconds* on my AIO. Imprint pressure was perfect. Kryonaut Extreme was 85C. It was fine however on my radeon r9 290X (with a broken screwhole too).

    How many of you have the EK direct die water block?

    Don't do it unless you want a damaged motherboard or potentially imbalanced CPU mount that could take the processor with it too.

    14900K Is this normal Behaviour?

    What is "AB"? Afterburner? Use fully updated HWinfo64 (with fully expanded sensor windows) to report CPU temps and usage. Don't use other programs. May possibly need to update management engine (ME) firmware if the BIOS didn't do this for you. If it's not on Asus download page for your...

    Humble Bundle Choice membership - 1 year for $99

    A bit of a scam. Many people already have most of the good games that appear on these lists. You save a lot more money by just doing the monthly rate, starting on a month that has multiple games you want, then pausing if the games suck when the next month comes. You don't get charged again...

    Huh? This is a mobile gacha pay to win game, and it's absolutely *not* D&D...why post this here?

    Raptor Lake refresh

    Nothing but rumors by crappy people like MLID. No one has one. The people who have samples of anything are all under very strict NDA. Wait until the chips hit release on the 25th.

    At 125 watts, yes. If you bypass the stock limits in any way, no.

    Billy Mitchell Now Suing Karl Jobst

    Ultima and Bard's Tale / Wizardry would like to have a word with you. And we would not have a Baldur's Gate 3 without Pool of Radiance. Oh, and how did SSI develop Pool of Radiance after they got the license? By evolving their Wizard's Crown engine (many of the combat and menu options that were...

    Your Ubisoft account can be suspended and subsequently permanently deleted for 'inactivity,' taking your games library with it

    Pretty sure this is illegal in most countries. If you bought the game and have a record of purchase, they can be sued for a LOT of money and will be forced to settle to avoid losing millions of dollars. It won't even get to court because someone smart will decide to avoid losing even more...

    SEGA Downfall Leaked

    My friend bought a Diamond Edge 3D (NV1). If I recall, Frys Electronics sold it and he bought it there. All I cared about was the Roland SCC-1. 3dfx wasn't in the game yet.

    ROG Ally US pricing - $699 for z1x on sale June 13th, $599 for z1 Q3 2023

    If Asus had just put ONE trackpad and a second type C on the device, people would have snapped this up like hotcakes. But no--some people just don't want to make TONS of money...

    ROG Ally

    A fool and his money are soon parted. Anyone who buys this deserves to lose their money. The GPU is barely enough to push the 720P screen in anything semi recent. What makes you think it will be able to push something at a MUCH higher resolution?

    Holy Guacamole 4TB "Leven" 4TB nvme $189 on amazon

    I keep saying this but all you guys seem to just like discounting everything I say. But I guess most people on this forum are quite rich anyway and don't care.

    Holy Guacamole 4TB "Leven" 4TB nvme $189 on amazon

    Multiple people have had reliability issues or quick failures with these drives. Just because a few o of you have had no problem does not mean that problems don't exist--keep that in mind. There's a reason why these drives are so cheap.

    Almost 30 Years Later, Clean Mod Improves Voodoo Graphics Performance Up To 15%

    The S3 Virge didn't work right with an ISA Soundblaster card unless you had BusThrottle=1 in some windows INI file for windows 95. it would just hard lock the computer in certain programs (I remember a gameboy emulator would cause this every time).

    Almost 30 Years Later, Clean Mod Improves Voodoo Graphics Performance Up To 15%

    I remember that in order to use the "Canopus" boards with the 3dfx reference drivers, you had to limit the available memory to 4MB with a "SST" command in config.sys? was that it? or was it autooexec.bat? I don't remember that stuff anymore.

    Vintage 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 Prototype GPU Fetches $15000 Bid

    One of the problems with this kind of multi-chip cards on a card technology is it appeals to people to make them think this is the "last purchase they will ever need to make for a VERY long time." Which as we have seen, next gen's midrange is often as fast as previous gen's top of the line...

    Noctua NH-D15 30% off, $99 at Amazon

    no, the daily price is $109.95 with a fan, not $149. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1557439-REG/noctua_171783_nh_d15s_cpu_cooler.html The fact that the amazon one comes with two fans may make it worth it for $99 if you need a cooler compared to this, but the one I bought in 2018 came...

    Noctua NH-D15 30% off, $99 at Amazon

    The original price was $89.95 back in 2018. Because that's how much I bought it for. From Amazon. It NEVER, EVER cost $149.95. EVER. Amazon is scamming you by lying.

    ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 Intel AMD AIO CPU Water Cooler PC B-Stock $54.99 EBAY

    There may be ones that can compete since it did come out more than two and a half years ago and there's a lot of new product on the market. But if you're trying to compare them, you have to make sure you at least equalize the fans on them. Changing the stock LFII fans to some powerful 3000 RPM...

    Deck Accessories? Skins\Shells\Docks\etc tell us what we must have and post what you have. Likes\Dislikes etc.

    Please DO NOT buy this case! Several people have mentioned what they get is either not what is shown at all (one person got a case that has no recesses or velcro flap at all or compartment), and one user got a case that doesn't clear the thumbsticks at all. This seems to be some cheap copycat...

    Way too expensive. These are for rich people. But they sure seem like an interesting toy. Durability would also be an issue.

    Refurbished Onexplayer Mini with AMD Ryzen 5800U $599 ($1,259 retail)

    This uses the last gen 5800U which has a much weaker GPU, which is why it's discounted so much. The Steam Deck is in general simply better and more powerful than this, so even at that discount, there's simply no reason to get this over a Steam Deck, unless you want the possibility of using...

    [EXPIRED] RTX 3090 Ti $999.99

    If a 3090 Ti is $500 in two months, I'll personally give you a mansion off an island in Florida. And an Aston Martin to go with it. Regardless of the 4090's timespy scores, a 3090 Ti is not suddenly a slow card. tl;dr: the price will not drop that low retail, except maybe in the used market...

    512GB SanDisk Micro-SD Card. 53% off from $99.99 to $46.99

    A $4 discount does NOT qualify as a "hot deal." If it does, I have some land to sell you in Florida. Note :B&H's normal list price for this SD is the same as Newegg's.

    512GB SanDisk Micro-SD Card. 53% off from $99.99 to $46.99

    This is not a deal at all. This is an A1 card, not A2 with faster ROP's, and I paid $53 for this in July. Amazon is scamming making you think the list price is $99 when it really isn't. Newegg sells this card daily for $51. https://www.newegg.com/sandisk-512gb-microsdxc/p/N82E16820173497

    Repasting a gpu but need help on removing cover

    Most AMD reference cards involve removing backplate screws (if they exist, usually Vega and newer), GPU X-bracket, PCB screws (can be any from a few to a lot) and I/O bracket screws. Watch out for the fan cables and on some cards, LED cables that you may miss when trying to remove the PCB from...

    Replacing the CR2025 BIOS battery with a wire!

    You can also use a CR2032. The voltage supply is the same. It's just thicker so you have to make sure it will fit in the housings. Hacking, I have no idea.

    Steam Deck Tips & Tricks

    With Steam open, the triggers cant control the mouse because they become analog. Steam takes over the Deck controls as a gamepad. You would have to use a program to disable Steam from doing that. You can still remap the buttons in Steam Input anyway, if you want the trigger clicks back. Try...
