Sudokoo Proteus 360 AIO Review: a great first effort, with chart-topping noise-normalized performance

Tom's Hardware Verdict

Sudokoo’s Proteus 360 is one of the best-performing AIOs you can buy. But its high price and pump whine in its default configuration make it hard to recommend against competitors.

Pros

  • +

    Best PBO tested result with AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D

  • +

    Excellent noise-normalized performance

  • +

    Low fan noise in the default configuration

  • +

    Presets for silent, office, and full performance

How to transfer and share files over a network without a USB flash drive — and with just one line of code

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

Transferring files is something that we take for granted thanks to super-cheap USB storage and fast network connections. Every single reader has had an occasion where they needed to transfer files, and I bet most of us have just reached for a USB flash drive (perhaps one of the best flash drives ).

That tried-and-trusted method is just one way to transfer files, but what if there were alternatives? I’m not talking about Iomega Zip drives (

Nvidia's consumer software stack just got a little closer to being streamlined. The Nvidia App has migrated a number of features from the legacy Nvidia Control Panel program to its newest release, Version 11.0.5.245. The list of features moved into Nvidia App includes 3D Settings customization and advanced multi-monitor settings, among others.

When the Nvidia App version 1.0 was released in November of 2024 , it signaled a desire from

3D print

Firm pioneers 3D printing copper coolers directly onto processors using OLED manufacturing techniques with 'pixel perfect accuracy' — Fabric8Labs can use either human or AI-optimized cooler designs

The general trend in 3D printing is for faster and larger machines that provide more build volume with an increase in output. But sometimes it's just as cool to see things printed on a microscale. The benefits of microscopic 3D print can be rather macro. Fabric8Labs revealed at Hot Chips that it has developed a cool new way to 3D print copper into super small structures that can be used for directly cooling processors, which is a huge practical impact to

Quantum internet is possible using standard Internet protocol — University engineers send quantum signals over fiber lines without losing entanglement

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have successfully sent quantum signals over a standard internet connection with fiber-optic cables in the real world. The researchers have published their work in Science , taking the quantum internet from theory to reality by using existing internet systems.

Quantum signals are famously weak, unable to be measured without losing their quantum entanglement and becoming unreadable with too much noise. But engineers have managed to send the signals over the same busy internet infrastructure that standard IP signals occupy.

You can upgrade FSR 3.1 games to FSR 4 with manual DLL swapping — GitHub community discovers FSR swapping works similar to DLSS upgrades

FSR has long had the disadvantage of not being user-upgradable, unlike DLSS, forcing gamers to wait patiently for game devs to upgrade FSR in their favorite titles. However, that appears to be changing, according to DLSS Swapper on X, GitHub users have uncovered that FSR 3.1 games can be upgraded to FSR 4 by manually replacing the game's FSR 3.1 DLL files with DLL files from AMD's latest FSR SDK 2.0.

The process is remarkably

The U.S. government has revoked waivers to U.S. technology exports granted to Intel, Samsung, and SK hynix that permitted these companies to export advanced wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) from America to their Chinese facilities. The companies now face a 120-day deadline before these exceptions are lifted, after which they must obtain official licenses to continue shipping tools and parts to their Chinese facilities, reports Bloomberg .

For Samsung and SK Hynix in particular, the impact could

TSMC reportedly cuts Chinese chipmaking tools from 2nm fabs as suppliers face scrutiny due to emerging new US restrictions

(Image credit: Getty / Anadolu)

TSMC will no longer use Chinese-made equipment in its 2nm chip production lines, according to reports from both Digitimes and Nikkei Asia . The change comes as U.S. lawmakers advance the Chip EQUIP Act, a proposal that would prohibit companies receiving American subsidies from buying tools from “foreign entities of concern,” including Chinese firms such as AMEC and Mattson Technology.

Nikkei Asia writes that while Chinese equipment was present in TSMC’s earlier advanced fabs, the company has
