Following prior benchmarks, the man himself, der8auer, has disassembled the RTX Titan Ada prototype he's had for months. Inside, the card is a maze of wires, connections, and side-plate wizardry, holding together a beastly quad-slot design that had not one but two 12VHPWR (600W) connectors and a side-mounted PCB.

If the one thing about smart home appliances that deterred you from ever investing in this connected future was how your data was always being routed through servers, you're in for a treat. A skilled developer has hacked his new Xiaomi Humidifier with ESPHome, making the device compatible with Home Assistant.

We've gotten our first retail appearance of the Arrow Lake refresh family, listed at an Indian retailer but with barely any information. The specs mentioned seem regurgitated from existing media coverage and leaks, and there's no price, but at least the vendor is promising a 3-year warranty.

Asus is betting on overpriced GPUs in this ultra high-res and high refresh rate pairing, dubbed the "XG27JCG," a new 5K 180 Hz monitor that can only run on Nvidia's RTX 50-series, officially, or AMD's RX 7600 and up. It supports all the gaming features you could ever want, along with solid color accuracy and HDR support.

Memory prices are rising everywhere, and the latest to be hit in the aftermath of this crisis is modular laptop manufacturer Framework, which just announced its own price hike in a very interesting fashion. The company replied to a tweet showing Dell's allegedly insane markup on RAM upgrades that later turned out to be incorrect.

Intel's Panther Lake family is still awaiting release, but the possible flagship chip of the bunch has been spotted on Geekbench. The Core Ultra X9 388H scores 3,057 points in the single-core test and 17,687 points in the multi-core test, racing past its Arrow Lake-H predecessor and AMD's Strix Halo.

If you've been unhappy with the direction Microsoft has taken Windows, offering no meaningful improvements beyond AI and aesthetics, then, well, not much can be done about that. But, at least you can disable all the AI features that seem to have populated every corner of the OS, with a simple script from GitHub.

A pawn shop in Portugal clearly didn't know the worth of what they had and ended up selling a high-end PC worth at least $2,500 with current market pricing, for just $600 to a lucky buyer. The PC includes flagship components, including two 32 GB sticks of 6000 MT/s DDR5 memory that alone costs almost $700.

AMD is apparently no longer telling vendors to stop B650 production in favor of B850 (and B840) due to the current component crisis. Skyrocketing DDR5 prices have caused a steep decline in new motherboard sales, which has reportedly influenced the Red Team to continute to make and sell B650 boards for now, helping consumers still select the cheaper option.

The Arrow Lake refresh is expected to fill in the gap till Nova Lake finally launches. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has just appeared on Geekbench and it achieved great scores that show a decent improvement over the outgoing 265K Plus it'll replace, despite running on relatively slow memory.

If you've been looking to upgrade to a more powerful machine but don't want to spend the big bucks on nice-to-haves like an OLED display, the Asus TUF F16 is the perfect pick for you. With its performant hardware combo and plenty of connectivity, along with a sleek design, it's a solid laptop that can do it all: gaming, productivity, and media consumption.

Watch as a crazed modder grinds down the heatpipes of an excellent air cooler, then injects ice-cold water through them with retrofitted tubes, and finally puts the entire apparatus on two GPUs to see how far he can push performance, witnessing massive clock-speed uplifts across the board.

Two new Geekbench listings for the upcoming Ryzen 7 9850X3D chip have been uncovered, both from mid-November, that show the CPU posting higher single-core numbers than the existing 9800X3D while being beat in multi-threaded results. The chip boosted up to 5.6 GHz as expected, but was running on slow 4800 MT/s memory.
