Checking your system's CPU temperature is similar to checking your car's oil: You don't need to do it daily, but it's something to keep an eye on every few months, especially if you regularly strain your system with higher loads.

Luckily, checking your CPU temperature is pretty easy and doesn't require you to open up your PC and stick a thermometer inside. Instead, every CPU comes with digital thermal sensors built-in,

Kingston's impressively potent D300 IronKey USB 3.1 flash drive has officially received NATO Restricted Level Certification. With FIPS 140-2 level 3 certification already, the 256-bit AES hardware encrypted USB drive is now acceptable to be used by NATO staff, coinciding with the alliance's security policies. These policies are in place to protect against potential cyber-attacks and more on otherwise classified and sensitive national and international security information.

Intel Labs and QuTech, TU Delft have unveiled technical details of their cryogenic control chip for quantum computers at ISSCC, called Horse Ridge. The goal of the chip is to help scale quantum computer to thousands of chips by reducing the interconnect complexity, and eventually to demonstrate quantum practicality: solving real-world problems with quantum computers. Built on Intel’s 22FFL process, it uses RF capabilities to control 128 qubits with a single device.

The high-level goal of

The U.S. Navy Department of Defense Supercomputing Resource Center (DSRC) on Monday announced plans to install its first supercomputer with a peak performance of over 10 petaflops (12.8 petaflopsto be exact). Cray will build the supercomputer on its Shasta platform , and the supercomputer will come packing AMD Epyc CPUs and Nvidia Volta V100 GPUs.

Packing 12.8 petaflops would qualify the supercomputer to be one the top 25 most powerful computers today. However

Asus has listed two new RTX 2060 graphics cards with a teeny, tiny form factor. The Dual RTX 2060 Mini and the Dual RTX 2060 Mini OC target small systems, including Intel NUCs, and are identical except for the OC variant carrying a overclock for those looking for a small performance boost.

Aside from the smaller design, the graphics cards feature a relatively standard design. They each measure 19.7cm in length, making them

Asus has identified the problem that's making the company's ROG Strix Radeon RX 5700-series graphics cards suffer from very high operating temperatures. Apparently, AMD is the culprit for the malfunction.

According to Asus, AMD's guidelines state that the cooler should be mounted with a pressure between 30 to 40 PSI. However, after thorough testing, Asus has found out that the optimal pressure should

Thermaltake’s latest PC case modding contest had contestants put their own spin on its Core P5 Tempered Glass V2 Black Edition ATX case (currently selling for $190 ). On February 11, the vendor revealed the 2019 Thermaltake Case Mod Invitational Season 2’s winning builds, a trio of rugged, 1980s action movie-ready systems that look like they’d eat other PCs for breakfast.

In addition to using Thermaltake’

After more than 10 years of service, Arctic is finally retiring the Freezer 7 Pro CPU cooler. The cooling specialist today announced the Freezer 7 X, which not only comes with better cooling performance, but also with a lower price tag.

Staying true to its bloodline, the Freezer 7 X is also a compact CPU cooler. The Freezer 7 Pro has a 127 x 108 x 96mm footprint, while the new Freezer 7 X measures
