Intel Core Ultra 9 285K @ TechPowerUp
Published: Friday, October 25, 2024 | By: DennisSeems the new Arrow Lake processor is not making people very happy. It reminds me of the Penitum 4 launch and how the new architecture make the processor slower when compared to previous designs but opened the processor up to considerably more. Sad part is, it took a couple years to get there and by then, the damage was done and Athlon XP and Athlon64 took over.
Finally! Intel's new Arrow Lake architecture is launched. The new CPUs are full of design changes, like removal of Hyper-Threading, new Lion Cove P-Cores, improved Thread Director and more. In our review we got surprising results that were both impressive and disappointing.
I'm pretty sure the YouTube channels are making things sound worse than they really are, you know just to get them golden views to put more money in their pockets.

GIGABYTE X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Review @ Vortez
Published: Friday, October 25, 2024 | By: DennisWith the Intel Arrow Lack launch ranking up there with the Pentium 4 it makes you wonder if AMD will be on top of the enthusaist world once again.
To help get there we have a variety of motherboards built on the X870 chipset including this one from Gigabyte.
Today we’re reviewing GIGABYTE’s X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7, their thus-far highest tier X870 motherboard and upper-echelon member of the wider X870 ecosystem. This attractive continuation of the ELITE class of motherboards adheres to the ATX form factor standard and is aimed firmly at gaming enthusiasts rather than hardcore overclockers or those with a need for significant peripheral provision.
We will have a review of the same board live early next week!

ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme Wireless Mechanical Keyboard @ TechPowerUp
Published: Tuesday, October 15, 2024 | By: DennisNow I realize that there are some people out there that only want to do the bare minimum. We like to call these people "Joanna" and they like to take the stairs, generally eat well but when it comes to using a keyboard, they likely "touch type" and are not bothered by extra things because it really doesn't concern them.
On the other hand, we have over achievers, whom we will call "Brian" with his 37 pieces of flair and oblivious attitude. These people like to push the limits, often to the realm of, unusable. They might have modified cars, that they never drive and find the 10-key to be a relic of the past which reminds them that they cannot touch type.
The ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme is a great example of how to take an already good keyboard, with the ROG Azoth, and improving it further to the point of being one of the best pre-built units on the market. It has a ton of features including an OLED touchscreen display and a novel adjustable gasket mount, but is far from being affordable.
To help offset the loss of any sort of function, the ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme comes with an Oled screen that you can actually touch!
Amazing, Oh, and its wireless.

NVIDIA Set to Unveil Next-Gen RTX 5090 with Unprecedented 2.9 GHz Speed
Published: Tuesday, October 15, 2024 | By: DennisWe all knew this day would come, the day when NVIDIA would release the next generation of GPUs and while most of the world has been focused on AI the vocal minority is still excited to see what this new card will do for our games.
NVIDIA is setting the pace in the GPU market with its upcoming GeForce RTX 5090, part of its next-gen RTX 50 "Blackwell" series, set to be unveiled at CES 2025. Despite rampant speculation, sources close to the matter suggest that the RTX 5090 will not see a significant price hike compared to its predecessor, the RTX 4090.
The RTX 5090 is tipped to be the fastest "out-of-the-box" GPU on the market, boasting a base frequency nearing 2.9 GHz, 32 GB of VRAM, and over 21,000 cores.
This is really impressive and while I am excited to see Jensen talk during CES 2025 I'm a little concerned that he will do another presentation about Blackwell and how they are changing the future of AI while totally bypassing the amazing thing knowing as the RTX 5000 series.

Funky Kit Review - Patriot Viper Elite 5 TUF Gaming RGB DDR5-6600 48GB Memory Kit
Published: Thursday, October 3, 2024 | By: DennisI'm not sure I will ever get used to seeing a 48GB DDR5 memory kit. The sizing makes sense but the math is just "weird". Despite being the bastard child of the memory world, the 48GB kits tend to overclock pretty well and provide a nice middle ground for users living on the edge between emo and country.
If you're already invested in the Asus TUF Gaming Alliance eco-system (motherboard, GPU, chassis, cooler etc), then these Viper Elite 5 TUF Gaming RGB DDR5-6600 48GB memory kits will be the ones to go for. They not only look great, but also offer good performance and tight memory timings.
Sadly, the ASUS TUF Gaming "eco" modules are kinda lame at 6600(MHz/MT/s) but can still allow emo builders a chance to be a little bit country while practicing safe self harm in the comfort of their realistic and fully stable memory clocks.
