We're back with another classic from TrashBench, the ingenious modder who has previously dunked GPUs into transmission fluid to cool them. Perhaps that's not very convenient, so why not try something far more feasible and, maybe even genuinely practical? Taking an air cooler, dismantling it, and turning it into a Frankenstein AIO that can tame GPUs like it's a walk in the park.
The Samsung Odyssey G55C is currently on sale at Amazon for just $199.99, giving anyone looking for a curved 32-inch gaming monitor 39% off its regular price and saving you $130. This monitor offers gamers a 165 Hz refresh rate and pairs it with 1440p QHD resolution, making it the most affordable mid-range gaming monitor, at least until the deal is on. So,
A Reddit user has reported that Nvidia — a company with a $5.2 trillion market cap — declined to replace their brand-new GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition , one of the best graphics cards , and that the company is trying to “burn my house down” after the card’s 12V-2x6 connector lost its retention clip during the first attempt to remove the cable.
The post, shared on Thursday, December
One of the caveats of TSMC's manufacturing in the U.S. is that all wafers processed at Fab 21 in Arizona are shipped back to Taiwan for dicing, testing, and packaging, which is why processors fabbed in Arizona are not 100% U.S.-made. However, suppose the rumor published by Taiwan-based Liberty Times is correct. In that case, TSMC is repurposing land designated initially for one of its Fab 21 modules for its
A frustrated user has taken to Reddit after Zotac denied their GeForce RTX 5070 Ti RMA for a suspected bearing issue, saying that it found “irreversible” PCB damage that cannot be repaired “due to the limited tools” the company has. According to I_Main_TwistedFate’s Reddit post , the company said the physical damage was found near the PCIe connector during a visual inspection of the card before testing. Zotac then claimed that this
A new PassMark entry has surfaced for AMD’s unreleased Ryzen 7 9850X3D, giving the first look at how the chip compares against the current 9800X3D , one of the best CPUs . The listing, which appeared in the database this week and was posted on X, reports a CPU Mark score of 41,840 from a single sample. That places it roughly 5% ahead of the 9800X
A slide that TSMC has demonstrated at its European OIP forum clarifies the advantages that its A14 (1.4nm-class, front side power delivery) fabrication process, due in 2028, will offer compared to the direct predecessor. As it turns out, A14 will offer 16% more performance at the same power and complexity, and 27% lower power at the same clocks and complexity compared to N2 (2nm-class,
Scythe’s Big Shuriken 4 provides adequate cooling in a Mini-ITX SFF-compatible form factor.
Low profile, only 67mm tall
Low noise levels
SFF size means cooling limitations for high-end CPUs
Team Red's upcoming batch of refreshed Zen 5 SKUs is all but confirmed to launch at CES 2026 next year. We've been seeing various leaks about the new Ryzen 9000X3D chips, including the Ryzen 7 9850X3D — set to replace the flagship 9800X3D — which has just been spotted on Geekbench by Gray. There are two listings that not only confirm a prior leak but also
"With great prices comes great responsibility", or so the saying goes. The DDR5 shortage has led to near-hyperinflation on the best RAM , and stores everywhere are raising prices by the day, all while manufacturers continue to issue alerts. Some chipmakers are dropping out of the consumer market entirely. However, the ongoing crisis does make for some amusing, or should we say heart-warming anecdotes, like this Facebook PC enthusiast who traded 192GB of DDR5-
