Wow... that is a lot of posts! Glad to have you here!

This ^ I used to always buy EVGA graphics cards and power supplies. They had great products and great service. I think their graphics cards was the largest part of their business, once they closed that I figured it would be only a matter of time before they went down completely. At that point I decided not to even buy power supplies from them because there would be no company left to take care of any warranty issues.

The first set of reviews hit today. Here is from Tom's Hardware: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition review: Blackwell commences its reign with a few stumbles

That is a beautiful water block!

Congrats to the new owners! So glad this place did not get shut down!

Sad to see this site go away. I will miss it. Thanks to E and everyone else that contributed here! Best wishes to all!

I saw that posted on Tom's Hardware. Hard to believe they have not sold even one!

Just finished reading the review at Tom's Hardware here Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Review: Intel Throws a Lateral with Arrow Lake This paragraph in the review sums it up pretty well. Pretty disappointing on the gaming front!

I've been using the Brave browser for several years. I really like it and it automatically blocks most ads and trackers.

They might perform very well... but I just can't deal with the color!

Yeah Tom's Hardware posted the leak too. Leak claims RTX 5090 has 600W TGP 600 watts... that's a BIG power draw!

Sad to hear... but you have to take care of yourself first and foremost. Thanks E for all you have done for the community!

Wow... that's a bummer. I always enjoyed reading their articles!

Thanks E I did not realize that, and yes I did paste the text in. Is there a way to fix it? I tried editing the text to automatic on the color choice and it did not change it in dark mode.

I have used this Aquacomputer Double Protect Ultra coolant on multiple rigs for over nine years now. Just thought I'd share what the coolant looks like after six years with zero maintenance! I first built this rig back in 2015 with a i7-4970k overclocked to 4.9 Ghz with tri SLI 980ti Classified cards. It was quite the screaming gaming rig at the time! Here's what it looked like then. In July of 2018 the CPU died, so I pulled it apart, replaced the CPU, replaced all the soft tubing and pulled two of the video cards out to sell because I was building my current gaming rig at the time and this was going to be my backup secondary rig. The coolant looked like new, but I replaced the tubing and put fresh new DP Ultra coolant in anyways. Since then, it has run 24 hours a day constantly and I have literally not done any maintenance on it. Plus, in 2022 I did a major remodel on my house redoing every room except for the two bedrooms I use as offices because they have been remodeled previously. That was a nine-month long project that left a thick layer of sheetrock dust on every square inch of my house including the offices despite keeping the office doors closed. I think I might have blown the dust out of the rig once before the remodel, but in six years I never touched the coolant. I finally started getting a warning that my hard drive was failing and that is what motivated me to bring it down to my shop and finally do some maintenance work. Here's a few shots of how dusty it was. The reservoir was full to start with and I never added any more here is the level now. I drained the coolant into a pitcher, and it still looks brand new and perfectly clean like I could just put it right back into the system! Just amazing! I highly recommend this coolant. There is a limited selection of colors. If none of the colors work for you I would recommend getting the clear DP Ultra coolant and using colored tubing if you want color.

I haven't played the game, but that looks like it would make the game way more fun to play!

That's a bummer... and sounds expensive!

Yeah nice review!

Nice review E! Thank you. That's a screamer for sure!

Yeah pretty cool seeing how much time you save, and actually AMAZING how much tracking goes on without you knowing about it.

This is exactly what I use... no youtube ads ever. So far my Brave browser has blocked over 1.8 million trackers, and saved me over 25 hours of time. This is over several years of use.
