In an email sent to media, MAXSUN has introduced its new MS-iCraft B850 AIGA motherboard for upcoming AMD desktop platforms. The company describes the board as “designed for next-generation AMD platforms and enhanced with powerful A.I.G.A Magic technology” and says it is sharing full product details ahead of upcoming coverage.
The wording confirms that the MS-iCraft B850 AIGA is intended for next-generation Ryzen processors rather than
ComputerBase takes a closer look at AMD’s quietly released tech.
I think we all feel a bit disappointed with how AMD announced its long-teased FSR Redstone technology. Contrary to what the company had said, there was no press event. In fact, the company hadn’t even provided access to the technology prior to launch.
Redstone also didn’t launch fully. It was just one technology out of four that make up the full
Their RTX 5060/5070 models now ship with BTF connector.
The good news is that Colorful has joined ASUS in offering BTF 2.0 compatible graphics cards. What this means is that the new iGame Ultra Z models will have both the GC-HPWR connector and a standard 8-pin or 16-pin connector, depending on the model.

First, Granite Rapids is not to be mistaken for Granite Ridge. The latter is a codename for current desktop Ryzen 9000 series based on Zen5 architecture, the former is Intel Xeon CPU lineup for servers and soon for workstations. It seems to be coming soon given that the full linuep was shared by leaker “momomo_us” and an early Geekbench entry for the Xeon 654 give the first clear look at how Intel
Intel has cancelled its next-generation mainstream Xeon platform based on the 8-channel Diamond Rapids design. This part was planned as the successor to today’s Granite Rapids-SP Xeon 6700P/6500P series and would have kept the cheaper, smaller-socket 8-channel option in the lineup.
Per Serve The Home report, the change follows a roadmap review under new data center leadership. Intel told STH it has
Can’t believe we are reporting on an extreme overclocking attempt on RTX 5050, using a camping freezer.
We like TrashBench runs because they are out of control in a good way. The channel uses cheap hardware, often weird cooling solutions and the viedos are short. Since he uses unusual cooling and cheap hardware, it’s probably much easier to copy than extreme OC using $3000 GPUs.

Steam Hardware Survey chart shows average VRAM of popular cards still near 8 GB.
A Reddit user has shared a histogram based on the latest Steam Hardware Survey and graphics card benchmark data. The chart sorts 20 performance bands from entry level to top cards, each covering a 2000 G3D score range (if I’m not mistaken, this type of score is used by PassMark). User notes, this includes 82
One PC enthusiasts decided that a classic PC case takes up too much space in the living room. Instead, they built a full gaming system directly into a closed TV cabinet, turning one of the compartments into a hidden mini-ITX rig.
The system uses a mini-ITX motherboard, a 240 mm liquid cooler mounted inside the furniture, and a SAPPHIRE RX 9070 XT PURE. The GPU is positioned behind custom

Walmart has cut the price of PNY’s GeForce RTX 5070 OC Triple Fan to 489 USD, undercutting recent 499 USD offers for this GPU and pushing it well below the official 549 USD MSRP.
The card in question is PNY’s overclocked triple fan model. It is based on NVIDIA’s GB
Unfortunately, it does not work.
A GeForce RTX 3060 engineering sample has appeared on the NVIDIA subreddit, giving a rare look at a pre-release version of NVIDIA’s 12GB Ampere card. The owner reports that the fans spin up, but the system hangs during boot, so the card does not function in a normal system. Still, as far as I know, this is the first time an RTX 3060
