Leaked BIOS files for the MSI RTX 5090 Lightning Z reveal 800W and 1000W power profiles, but enabling them on non-MSI models could void warranties and risk hardware damage. Here’s what you need to know before flashing.
The iPhone 17e arrives with a refined design, the same A19 chip as the base iPhone 17, and a $599 price tag—making it the most affordable way into Apple’s ecosystem yet.
Intel’s Arrow Lake Refresh lineup is set to debut in reviews next month, though the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus has reportedly been axed entirely. Three SKUs—including the 270K Plus and 250K/KF—will finally see benchmarks, while motherboard support grows. The move suggests Intel is prioritizing performan...
Intel’s latest integrated graphics, the Arc B390 in Panther Lake, are delivering unexpected performance gains in Linux, outpacing AMD’s Radeon 890M in nearly every benchmark. The Xe3 iGPU shows particular strength in modern titles, sometimes by over 50%—changing the game for budget and mid-range lap...
A new theory suggests Apple’s upcoming M5 Pro chip may not be a standalone model but a repackaged M5 Max, leveraging TSMC’s advanced 2.5D packaging to cut costs and simplify production. The revelation comes as the M5 Pro remains conspicuously absent from the latest iOS beta, raising questions about...
A 5120×11440 resolution ultrawide OLED monitor, normally priced at $1,300, is now available for $799.99—a $500 discount. But is it worth the splurge?
NVIDIA’s next-gen VR200 NVL72 systems, codenamed Vera Rubin, will rely exclusively on SK Hynix and Samsung for HBM4 memory, cutting out Micron entirely. The shift comes as NVIDIA pushes bandwidth to 22 TB/s, while Micron secures a role in LPDDR5X for the platform’s CPUs. Who wins, who loses, and wha...
MSI has officially priced its GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z at $5,200, targeting extreme overclocking and AI workloads with a 28 Gbps GDDR7 memory kit and a 2.5 kW XOC BIOS. Only 1,300 units will be available, with a 1,600 W PSU recommendation for basic use.
With GPU and RAM prices still inflated, a refurbished Acer Nitro 60 with an RTX 5060 and DDR5 memory offers one of the few viable entry points into 1080p gaming—if you’re willing to overlook some limitations. Here’s why this deal might be worth your attention.
The most extreme GeForce RTX 5090 yet—with a 2500W TDP and 32GB of VRAM—is now officially priced at $5,220 in Taiwan, but only 10 lucky winners will secure one through a 24-hour lottery event. Here’s what makes it worth the hype (and the wait).
Intel and AMD are facing supply constraints in China’s server market, with prices climbing over 10% and delivery times stretching to six months for some models. The crunch is driven by AI demand and manufacturing bottlenecks, leaving cloud providers and OEMs scrambling for alternatives.
A Reddit user’s test bench experiment with an MSI GeForce RTX 4080 Super Ventus 3X OC ended in a spectacular failure—literally burning a hole through the PCB. The incident raises serious questions about VRM reliability and whether NVIDIA’s power delivery demands are pushing hardware to dangerous lim...
Tower coolers, RGB RAM, and tight cases don’t mix—unless you plan ahead. A simple miscalculation in RAM clearance can force costly upgrades or frustrating workarounds. Here’s how to avoid it.
The company’s shift toward high-margin AI chips is delaying the RTX 50 Super and pushing next-gen GPUs into 2028, while memory shortages force a rare full-year hiatus for consumer graphics cards.
Both Intel and AMD have warned Chinese customers of prolonged delays for server CPUs, with Intel imposing up to six-month wait times. The bottleneck stems from surging AI workloads, manufacturing constraints, and a scramble for limited production capacity—raising questions about potential ripple eff...
A steep $600 discount brings Lenovo’s high-end Legion 5 gaming laptop within reach, but does it still hold up against newer models? We break down the specs, tradeoffs, and who should buy it.
A native Linux app for GeForce NOW is now in beta, but Ubuntu 24.04 exclusivity and missing features like HDR and VRR could frustrate power users. Here’s what’s missing—and who might still benefit.
Major brands like ASUS, Acer, Dell, and HP are quietly evaluating memory chips from Chinese manufacturer CXMT as traditional suppliers struggle to keep up with demand, particularly from AI workloads. The shift could reshape the PC industry’s supply chain—if CXMT’s output scales fast enough.
