    New KB time (again?) - 2026 edition

    Yes, samplers are useless. You might find you really like a switch, buy them for your keyboard, and be completely disappointed that they feel nothing like you expected. Mounting switches to a PCB, specific plate material and specific mounting type will lead to a different typing feel, all of...

    Replacement for WinRing0

    Some multiplayer games anticheat systems will ban you if PawnIO is present on your system - something to be mindful of. The creator of FanControl did not want to implement PawnIO but relented when it was clear WinRing0 was no longer an option and never would be again.

    Aqua Computer AMPINEL GPU power load balancer

    Seasonic will have monitoring directly in their PSUs, and MSI announced something similar which I assume is on their Seasonic based PSUs - but at most it will auto shutdown. No active current management - https://seasonic.com/insights/seasonic-optiguard-technology/ This specific video below...

    Need advice on this bundle

    Call and ask if they are willing to ship - that specific motherboard is the worst of all options - 5 stage VRM. Don't rush to buy. This is the 2nd time in around 2.5 weeks the bundles have been made available. In Ontario, they completely replenished stock of cpus, motherboards, and ram...

    End of an Era, Anandtech is closing down

    Tom's is pitched as an alternative because Anandtech has been under them ever since the original acquisition by 'Purch' in 2013. They've never really been allowed any autonomy ever since. Ian put out a video with insight about that transition and the failures of management over the years.

    Recommended replacement keyboard switches?

    11 pages :ROFLMAO: Keycap lighting is an aesthetic preference primarily. A desk lamp can perform the same function - it can even be behind your monitor to provide bias lighting and improved preceived black depth contrast. There's also monitor screenbars, and while I personally do not like...

    Cheap SSD Heatsink that seems to be beating the crap out of most others.

    The low-profile options are sufficient up to PCI-E 4.0. PCI-E 5.0 at actual speeds and sustained loads will require the taller heatsinks - preferably with active cooling - or an alternative cooling method like solid state, which isn't yet fully realized. Thermalright's resurgence into the NA...

    Grim Dawn- On Titan Quest Engine

    They announced a new expansion relatively recently, so there will be more content to come. They can't resist coming back and adding new content no matter how many times they say they're done :D

    Mouse recommendations for claw grip? I think...

    I didn't catch this in time, but for anyone else (sorry Lysrin) if you order things from Logitech directly use code SHROUD - it's pretty much always active and stacks with existing sales. Sometimes DRLUPO will work as well but Shroud's is better.

    Mouse recommendations for claw grip? I think...

    MZ1 does have a wireless version, and that version has a changeable back hump unlike the initial wired version. Razer Viper Mini wired is discontinued, replaced by the Viper Cobra wired. It's a direct upgrade though with better feet and better LOD - currently OOS due to BF sales. This has...

    Recommended replacement keyboard switches?

    Didn't you already buy the RK? :ROFLMAO: Not sure what Keychron considers a base model anymore - too many SKUs. It seems to still be the K series. Their offerings used to be simple and straightforward, now it's a mess to navigate. K series was generally seen as solid for the price. Vendors for...

    90% 96 key form factor experience?

    This was originally referred to as the 1800 layout, due to the first model of keyboard that employed them. This has less keys than the traditional layout though, but the main difference with this specific one is it's very compact vertically, with the F-row sitting immediately and inline above...

    Recommended replacement keyboard switches?

    Keychron will ship from the US, with all that entails. Deskhero and OneofZero have Keychron items, but not that switch tester pack. Those testing kits aren't particularly useful imo, there's a high chance that almost everything in the kit will feel the same and you will just end up more...

    Recommended replacement keyboard switches?

    Depends on what you are looking for. Cherry MX are still made in Germany if that's a consideration, but for years people have complained they feel scratchy compared to modern alternatives comparative to the price paid. It's a mix of tolerances, material composition, and lack of lubrication. I...

    Asus DH x570 Cpu Killer?

    From what I recall, the 'Dark Hero' variant of the regular Hero X570 board is known for killing CPUs. I don't remember ever hearing a definitive resolve for it either. While some of the AM5 related issues should be partly ascribed to AMD - remember, all major manufacturers were hit by this to...

    Solidigm releases some SSD management software for all SSD and then some proprietary stuff for their products

    Wendell has had Allyn on before when they were still Intel - here's their latest vid together about the Solidigm 2.0 software stack. It has always been good conversations between the two from what I've personally seen, so worth a watch. Edit - actually just one additional note - the power...

    anyone know why the DDR5 RAM support for the W680 chipset is so wonky?

    Mixture of validation and 1DPC vs 2DPC teething issues on early DDR5 platforms - the server/workstation focused B650E boards announced have similar restrictions. On my Asus Pro WS W680-ACE IMPI, only 2 specific Innodisk modules are validated and seemingly only a single module at a time. My...
