  1. It definitely shouldn't make a difference. That said, when I have trouble mounting an ssd in a case that doesn't have a dedicated spot for one I usually just use strong double sided tape.
  2. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nxg4C365LbQ
  3. FYI we put the bracketed part as the tag now so it's not part of the title. Only spinning disk style hard drives are affected by magnets. If you don't have an old hard drive, magnets are fine.
  4. It's news worthy, but is there anything note worthy that we wouldn't already expect? Generational phone improvements have gotten to be pretty insignificant so I'm asking if there is anything that stands out about the 12?
  5. Is there anything note worthy here or is it just slightly faster, more pixels, same old same old... Anything to discuss here beyond the standard generation to generation improvements?
  6. My spare pc is a 2600k oced and a 1070ti, game runs fine on that. Pretty sure I set it to high @ 1440p and the performance is fine. You should be able to play it just fine with a 1070, just not in 4k.

  8. Totally in the same boat. The interface with windows phone was light years ahead of the competition. It's too bad they were just too late to the game to build up the app store. A full blown non arm windows phone would completely eliminate that problem. I bet they have several prototypes for that concept already.
  9. If Microsoft ever manages to make a full windows non arm based device that's as small as a phone and can make calls... Well they would really be on to something. I think that's been their game plan for years now and they're just waiting for the perfect time to strike, once the hardware is fully ready.
  10. Source: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia-allegedly-moving-ampere-to-7-nm-tsmc-in-2021.html Wonder if this means the super or Ti versions of the 3000 series will be even better.
  11. I've had quite a few people asking for recommendations for laptops to help them work from home lately. It makes sense there would be a surge right now.
  12. Source: https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/12/tech/microsoft-election-ransomware/index.html Well... Always interesting to hear about this stuff.

  14. I think youtube won't show you higher resolution options if it thinks you don't have the bandwidth for it actually.
  15. When I hosted the OCN MC server I found that IPC was all that really mattered. Running it on an overclocked windows computer was vastly better than a dedicated linux server with more threads and a lower clock speed. Probably doesn't really matter much though unless your going to use some world editing mods. Noting about vanilla minecraft should be taxing to host.
  16. At least they're reaching out to a business that can manage it instead of continuing down the same path.
  17. After seeing the digital foundry video on the performance of the game, I'm pretty disappointed. It looks like all they did was move the AI to it's own cpu thread and almost nothing else as far as optimization and the results leave it still being a poorly threaded game. Increasing the LOD values really hammers single threaded performance when that should have been multi-threaded. There are also a few visual "upgrades" that look worse than before like certain texture changes that are higher res yet look worse. There is also no mod/SDK support which is a real bummer for me because I was planning to try making a newer version of my Crysis mod "Crysis super powers mod 2".
  18. If you really wanna avoid MSI, gonna have to do some research on exactly what you're getting, or get a dell.
  19. MSI makes A LOT of barebones laptops that get rebranded by other manufacturers/resellers. I'm not sure if razer is one of them but it's definitely possible.
  20. Source: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/gamestop-gets-boost-from-microsoft-partnership/ar-BB19S0bN?ocid=mmx&PC=EMMX20 Looks like Microsoft is throwing GameStop a serious bone here, and also using their stores as a sort of showcase area for Surface products. Not a bad move considering they closed down the physical Microsoft stores.
  21. IMO there's no real need to look up anything. Just check your temps and go from there. Try setting the multiplier to 50 and vcore to 1.4 and then just lower the voltage until it's no longer stable.
