Double sided tape works well. Like the 3M tape or that newer "reusable" clear stuff. Or sticky tak used for putting up posters.
I have some computers where they just set in the bottom of the case, or on top of other hard drives, no screws or anythi…
Samsung hasn't quite kept up with the competition in recent years, but their prices haven't really reflected that. I think they are still a reliable brand name though, but that's all you are really paying for.

My 2c for what it's worth:
NVMe of any flavor is good but the real world benefits of PCI 3 vs PCI 4 vs PCI 5 amount to a rounding error. It's hard to tell even with old SATA SSD vs PCI NVMe in real world stuff - the biggest differences are really o…
My first go at it -
Was still very early. A lot of missing cutscenes, placeholder NPC models, a lot of bugs through out in general.
That said, I've seen MMOs release in worse shape, so ... I don't know how much that means.
The gameplay itself wa…
I'll say two things to that:
First, unless you are a data center operator, is 20TB not big enough for almost every single consumer user out there?
Second, unless you are a data center operator or a hoarder, aren't most consumer users shifting ever…
I don't get how GeForce Now constitutes expanding access and alleviates anti-trust concerns.
The Switch - I can vaguely get. I don't imagine many Switch owners are itching to play a gimped down version of CoD on their hand-held devices, but at leas…
Nice to see some headlines here.
I've been playing Rift for about the past 2 years. It's unique playing a dead-man-walking game - and I knew that going in. I've started to drift back out of it now that I've got a few alts at max level and no curren…
Some typos I think:
The AMD CPU that nominally can go up to 230 W actually stops at 215 W. .... The difference between 230 W and 253 W isn't that much, ...
Maybe the second number is correct? Not sure.
Is it really so impressive that the AMD C…

First, I'd highly recommend getting a new ATX 3.0 PSU -- specifically those that have native 12VHPWR connectors to go right to your new video card -- while there have been no reports of it occurring with a 4080, the adapters that go from older PSUs …
This article needs an editor, or the author should proof read it one more time at the very least.
I haven't played the game, but just knowing what I do of it, I think this review is probably closer to how I would review the game myself.
Not a bad …
If I recall, when SWTOR came out, it had some bastardized process where it ran two different processes to get around the 32-bit RAM limitation, and it was pretty kludgey.

Activision Blizzard has a little shy of ten thousand employees. A set of 18 of them was allowed to unionize in isolation, separate from the entire rest of the company. That's less than 0.2% of the company's workers by head cou…

first number (theoretical power envelope) should be higher, and then that the second number (actual power draw from the power supply) should be lower. Those aren't offsetting. Both will tend to make the gap between theore…

I've got all of the parts except for the UPS, so I started assembling the computer. I'm stopping for the night now because my back hurts, so it's not done yet.

With the latest versions of Boost - yeah, the stock cooler will work.
But the better cooling you can get, the higher the chips can clock and the longer they can hold higher clocks.
So, where it used to be that you just needed to keep a chip cool …

Checking that against my thumbrule: (GPU + CPU + 100)
320W (3080) + 105W (CPU) + 100W misc = ... 525W. Actual draw = 500W.
For CPU power, you have to look at the max turbo power, not the nominal TDP.…
Once upon a time I was running a mildly overclocked i7 4970 and GTX 980 on a 450W power supply. It pulled 420W from the wall. Worked that way for several years, although I did eventually end up upgrading the PSU in it. It also was a decent Seasonic …
