Yup. You can still have some fun if you only can afford $75 USD on graphics cards. Buy a few cheap games and there you go.

More of the same.... Tech (performance) enthusiast have no value for todays/tomorrows tech industry. The tech enthusiasts being pushed further out into the cold. We are a dying breed bro Fox. All left is for gamer-kids and the average computer Joe. We saw it with DTR's, now we see it for everything related to tech. The screw is tightened tighter and tighter until it bottom out and the fun is all gone. End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell

See. As I said yesterday. The only shop in Norway that offer watercooling parts is now bankrupt. They will continue with web shop with much longer time to deliver parts (And it will have a much smaller selection). I checked a EK dual pump that was well priced due the bankrupt... Only obe for sale. Checked it out but I needed the reservoir for the pump from EK. Hmmm... The only reservoir for the dual EK pump combo from EK is now EOL. What the heck.... You can still buy the pump but no reservoir? HMMM.What is happening here? See.... EK-XTOP Revo Dual D5 can be paired with EK-RES X3 150 Lite reservoir. I followed the link from the shop above.... END OF LIFE... https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-res-x3-150-lite Then why offer a damn expensive dual pump you can't have with a water reservoir? What are EK doing... See also below. Also their Dual pump is now out of stock. Maybe it will come a new dual pump but with a reservoir (the old reservoir is now EOL as you see). But don't bet your hard earned $$$ on that. Maybe the end is here. EK is dead. And custom water cooling follow the same paths. EKWB: the end of an era? overclocking.com Gamer kids just want an AIO. Or better say want an modern tiny Air cooler that help you boil the Cpu to death (or they just downclock their unlocked Cpu). I can clearly see it here home. You have almost no options if you are an PC performance enthusiast. Zero to none. Back to stupidity. The single core boost is trash. Just a gimick to sell overpriced Cpu's. High number sell. On one a single core. Stop implement useless Mobile tech into desktops with normal cooling. Mobile tech as single core boost and power efficient E-cores should only be used in laptops/tablet and smartphones. Not in desktop PC's.

Remember Windows 11, version 24H2 (OS Build 26100.1591) is targeting Copilot+ PCs Joke's devices. What did you expect? Isn't that build optimized for (Windows on) ARM? Of course the idiots break the OS once again to try make their modern Joke-plates perform better.

Microsoft is locking down it's latest and greatest OS more and more. Soon you won't be able to make/change how Win 11 looks and feel or make it more like like the older slight better Win 10. And more and more (reg) settings and functionality will be removed from the OS. Yup, Win 11 is bad. Very bad. Bad by design. The GUI and settings (apps/in short everything) will go from bad to worse. And if you change how it works to your likings, the Redmod bastards will change it back to how they want it or just make it not to boot once they throw out an new (bugged) Security CU patch. Win 11 is only useful for a few benches but that's all. Nope. I don't want it as my core/main OS.

Here's the test with Windows 11 23H2 (new released Windows update KB5041587 fix for Ryzen gaming performance). Not as good for the Ryzen 9 9950X. I really hope for the Red fanboys that Microsoft don't have to withdraw some of the performance gain later, because Ryzen chips is at risk become more vulnerable to security issues from this new optimization patch. Nothing will last forever🙂 Zen 5 tested with Windows Update KB5041587

Enjoy🙂 And the day have come.... From worse to worse for computer enthusiasts (water cooling) in Norway. Now we have only one real computer shop here home, but for the most part offer AIOs, bling bling and gaming gears for gamer-kids. And a couple of pc web shops where you have to wait for ordered parts 2-4 weeks. The best one is now out of business. This is just sad☹️ The enthusiast shop Digital Impuls is bankrupt

Next Gen.... You mean Nova lake with real mobile desktop processors? Or you mean next gen Intel with the Arrow Refresh? Me see Arrow lake Refresh with either more babies or upgraded NPU. And guess what will do the most for the AI hype? Not more babies in the die. You can't have it all (more babies and upgraded NPU). The best will be the usual 200MHz higher boost clock and upgraded NPU. Not exactly very exiting, is it? But it's what it is and we will finally see real mobile processors for our DIY desktops. The future looks damn bright for enhusiast performance techies. NPU for AI, more power efficient E-Cores and all in an mobile Cpu package for desktops. But......... You can just buy an thin Jokebook. It have everything what an desktop offer. Me.... By then finished with computers. In the rocking chair I go and will enjoy last years of good life before the lid lock over my face...

Very easy to understand bro @Mr. Fox See bolded text. I expect it's due the lack of good enough binned chips (remember they also save up for the X3D chips). And they need only one of the die's that meet expectations and the second one can be everything. A real lottery. But be you sure, the elite/choosen ones get glued together chips with two good ccd's.

What with a change in branding the new mobile graphics cards as etc RTX 5060 Max-Q Light ? NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU: RTX 4070 performance, consumes LESS power During that chat, he talked about some details about NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" GPUs. The Hasee chairman said that NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 series Laptop GPUs will use GDDR7 memory, and power consumption of the 60-level cards will be "greatly reduced" from 140W to 115W. This means we're going to see a new world of thin-and-light gaming laptops powered by NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU Tempting? 🤢🤮🤢 Oh' Hell no! The taste of disgusting. What we will see in ads and promos.... Thinner than ever.

$360 vs $500 USD. And the winner is.... AMD😁 Poor those stupid gamers that pay or paid full MSRP for the new and shiny BulldoZen5. See also...... Timestamp from 1:43

Also Vex see the same as me. Nvidia helping out China with AI servers to avoid the US ban. And they really need all the vram and big boy die's they can get. And Nvidia want all the profit they can get from it. Hence they lock their eyes and let em double up vram for gamer cards as etc 4090(D) and 4080 (Super) - intended with only half ov the vram for GAMERS Screwed. The U:S ban is an Joke and Jensen know it. Nvidia doing Nvidia things and put up the middle up finger to the screwed gamers and the idiots in the U:S Governments. Nice.

The most fun I have seen today. AMD Zen5 chips (RYZEN 9000 SERIES) is now rebranded to BulldoZen5. Yup, this one really made my day😁 Final conclution from Hardware Unboxed. Yup, this did not come as a big surprise bro @Mr. Fox The flopp is real! Greedy, unethical testing and false claims come at a price.... AND AMD PAY FOR IT RIGHT NOW. See the time stamp 20:38 AMD rather prefer sell high cost overpriced re-branded boards instead of offering cheaper options.... AMD Delays B840 and B850 Motherboards to Early 2025; X870 and X870E Are Set for September Release

The most fun I have seen today. AMD Zen5 chips is now rebranded to BulldoZen5. Yup, that one made my day😁 Have a nice weekend. Nice to see you back bro @Etern4l. Hope all is well. If you don't mind loosing warranty then use liquid metal on your stock IHS. Better for longeivity on LM. See also bro Fox post. The Rockit IHS (or any good quality custom IHS with slight higher Z-hight) was good for laptops with sloppy heat sink pressure and uneven quality for the ILM in LGA laptops. For desktops... Not so much.

Finally, the juicy fruits poppin up from Microsoft. As they now have started up again new features for older Win 10. Isn't that a good thing bro @Mr. Fox?🤢 Why not just let us have the old OS without new trashy Win 11 features? Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 neowin.com · 9 minutes ago 0 If you are sticking to Windows 10 because it has fewer annoyances than Windows 11, especially in the Start menu, we have bad news for you....

I'm not so sure bro @Mr. Fox. Because everything they touch will turn into problems. Just lovely. More bugs have popped up with this new Win11 update. This is an reminder of never pach on the patch day and rather wait at least 2-4 weeks before you try download and install so called "fixes patches" from Microsoft. Latest Windows 11 update cripples PCs. Here's what to do if you're affected This cumulative update for Windows 11 can slow down PCs so badly that they become unusable.

Just lovely. The usual. More bugs have popped up with this new CU update. Latest Windows 11 update cripples PCs. Here's what to do if you're affected

Hmm. Extra 8 pin have been already on a few boards from both AMD and Intel (Z690 Apex had 6-pin and the Z790 Apex got 8-pin). I don't see Nvidia will push this as requirements for new GPUs. Remember all the older boardsout there that will be paired with 5090, and 95% of them all don't have it. And You can't feed more power to the GPU from the PCIe Gen5 slot. More likely they will make ready for next gen less power hungry AI cards not meant for gaming. Pair two of them and you are good to go (not for gaming). Isn't that disgusting? Also with all the modern RGB bling people want nowadays, charging of the kids tech gears and the need for fan headers with higher AMP rating, the boards need more 12v ompha than you'll get out from the old fashion 24-pin MB connector.

Check out WPD above and see what the software find of Enabled/Disabled services or apps. As well check same settings in O&O shutup. Both programs need same settings applied to offer correct settings. I would ask in Sordum for some help/guidelines. I would also try free AV software to override what Windows try to do so it can take over the control.

Check out Sordum. Maybe you can still use the Defender Control tool v2.1. Also look in the comments section for that tool. Guides in there. As well try free AV software and then white list needed apps/software. Can't remember what Os and build you use. Also check out... *WPD v1.5 RC1 [WPD is a portable app to manage your Windows 10 privacy and firewall settings, uninstall Windows apps, and decide what apps can access your information]. See what it finds enabled/Disabled.

What I meant. If wrong settings is applied in regedit then change the value to the correct one. Maybe you have tried it before. And regarding the added microcode in Windows,... Can be deleted in Windows so only the MC in bios will be used.
