Maxsun & Yeston make anime waifu card designs, which I think is the modern equivalent, but they're mostly in Asian markets, not here.

$500 is a huge price difference for a big performance jump. Your budget is the deciding factor here.

I've had 2 family members in the last few years have the casing straight up perish where the hinges screw in. The whole laptop just…

The only difference is speed. Look up some benchmarks for the games you want to play and decide if it's fast enough at 4K. Expect the same…

Where are those numbers from? What GPU? Most benchmarks I've seen show a good gap even over the 5800X.…

Gaming is a very popular use case though and X3D most certainly is a big upgrade there.
15/07/2025 - 08:04
I worry that ship has sailed. It remains the (almost) best chip for an otherwise dead platform, so demand seems to outweigh supply. I was…

Brother stuff seems to have good Linux support for anyone on the Great Migration of 2025.

Just for the record it's actually a 65% board - the title is wrong. 60% would be missing the right-most column.

There's definitely some break-in if the application is not super-light. They will slightly change sound after the first few weeks-months of…

No you don't. EATX is for wider boards - it says nothing about cooler clearance. Plenty of mATX cases fit 154mm coolers.

AM5 is pretty broad. 7600X? 9950X3D? For mid range these are perfect.

Recent i7s have been caught doing 250-300W under load at stock voltage. Overclocked they can exceed 350W. Even for sensible stuff (ie AMD,…

Although I've read you should update the firmware using Windows when you first get it as it fixes a few input bugs etc.
06/07/2025 - 14:16
Apparently fixed in an update about 2 weeks ago?

TCG Pocket is simplified reboot of the card game for phones. You get a free booster pack of cards every 12 hours, so this is equivalent to…

Thanks, received it basically instantly.

4. The 14700 is an extremely power hungry chip and hence significantly hotter than the 7800x3D
05/07/2025 - 12:53
2700X to 3700X was already a fairly big difference, though.
02/07/2025 - 17:11
Yeah, sadly if 5700X3D were still available for the $230 I spent, it would be a no brainer, but they're quite expensive now.
02/07/2025 - 17:10
Depends. Some CPU heavy games will notice a difference, but it won't be enormous. What are you playing and at what resolution?
02/07/2025 - 10:22
This goes for almost any mouse over bluetooth - they're all stuck at 125 Hz, which can feel slushy. If you do want to improve battery life,…

It's about staying under the flying limit. Agreed it's very low if you aren't flying.
01/07/2025 - 20:25
I think that's the point. Office users want something with a bit more resistance as your average user is not playing a twitchy shooter,…

Yeah, I crack an egg on top, which is nicer to do in a frypan. It's not bubbling away or anywhere near the rim, so I prefer the pan. But…

20 cm pan is perfect for a single packet of ramen - enough water to cover the noodles without diluting the broth too much.

Can I ask what do you do that lets you claim a gaming graphics card on tax? Or just fingers crossed no-one cares?
29/06/2025 - 22:58
How is release year relevant? Performance per dollar is king (plus feature set, power consumption, driver support, etc.). Value is relative…
