Corsair lost a lawsuit over advertising XMP memory speeds, and you could get paid — the settlement covers U.S. purchases between 2018 and 2025 for overclocked kits

If you've ever shopped for the best RAM , you've seen speeds such as DDR4-3600 or DDR4-6400, and even higher. Those numbers represent the rated speed, and they're the headline feature that justifies premium pricing. However, these speeds aren't the default operating mode of the sticks—they're overclocking profiles that require manual enablement in the BIOS. Your CPU does not officially support

Compact copper-encased 14.2-liter PC system weighs 47.4 pounds, doesn't need fans for cooling — passive ITX case is nearly twice as heavy as the aluminum shrouded version

There’s a compact new fanless chassis on the block, dubbed the FanlessVC2300S DT (machine translation). Listed on China’s Taobao online market (h/t FanlessTech ), what makes this particular design remarkable is that an all-copper edition is being made available, limited to 10 units. It is going to be extremely tricky to snag one of those, we expect. Still, the aluminum-clad version in the image appears

A Redditor thanked his father for gifting him something that he plucked out of the trash. Alternative-Run363 claims that his dad enjoyed a big ‘W’ by fishing out a PC packing an Intel Core i5-9400F, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660, and more.

If you want to buy an Nvidia graphics card, arguably the most obvious place to do so is on Nvidia's website , where they are available at MSRP. Usually, when GPUs go out of stock there, the listing changes to say "Currently Unavailable" — like the GeForce RTX 5090 listing indicated for most of its existence.

Nvidia's DGX Cloud, once positioned as a direct-to- enterprise AI cloud, has quietly taken a backseat in the company's external strategy. According to an insider speaking to The Information , the GPU behemoth now uses most of DGX Cloud's capacity for internal research rather than promoting it as a customer-facing product.

It's a subtle change, but in Nvidia's financial results for the second quarter of its 2026 financial year

Crucially, this brings OpenAI closer to being able to receive $10 billion in investment funds from Japanese investment firm Softbank. This investment was contingent on a deal between Microsoft and OpenAI being reached before the end of the year. However, despite the buoyancy of the announcement

However, the video shows a different username, so we’re unsure if this is accurate. Nevertheless, the sim rig is quite impressive, even
