To be fair that's hardly bending at all. If it's actually going to be that fragile (and obviously one burnt adapter is hardly proof of that) then there should have been clear instructions in the box but there were none so it's very fair to assume it's just like any other cable and can be bent...

It can't be, Ubisoft doesn't publish their (major) games on Steam anymore. If it's similar to some of the games they've recently attached to GPUs, it's going to be a code you enter at a website (with GPUs it was Nvidia's Geforce Experience) that allows you to link your Uplay (or Ubisoft/Ubisoft...

I initially thought they would be roughly the same but now that the specs are out, Gaming X Trio is 18mm lengthier, 20mm wider and weighs 195g more than the Ventus. Ventus is 1mm taller. That's a fair bit more cooling surface on the Trio X. Now whether it actually makes the Trio X significantly...

That's the silver lining. Actually the two setups I'm assembling (one for myself) both have MSI B450 boards which have very unfinished beta bioses right now.

Such a crappy launch for these processors outside of few companies like OCUK who actually manage to get some stock. It's been three days since launch, stock in Finland was expected on Monday the 8th. Two days later the arrival of first stock has moved not once, twice, three times, but four...

For Ryzen 3000 UK has probably the best supply situation in Europe mostly thanks to OCUK. For example in Scandinavia the initial stock was some 3600/3600X CPUs, zero 3700X/3800X/3900X. Some stores are miraculously expecting stock in the next few weeks, others are hopeful that end of July-early...

That article was posted last week. I guess we thought you meant there's release version bioses out now for MSI boards, not just the old betas.

No way. 2500k/2600k topped charts at reasonable prices. What 3600 might do is match performance we've had for years for half the price. Impressive, but 2500k was something else (even more so when overclocked). 3600 is probably going to be in a lot of gaming computers and for a good reason.

Asrock has not yet updated 3900X support for any of their boards. None of their X570 boards have 3900X on the supported CPU list either.

I have to ask are you running the fans at maximum or just auto (and if auto, around what RPM are the fans running at)? I received a 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio yesterday and under load (after temperatures settle) it's always at 79C which seems quite a bit more than what the reviews suggested. GPU...

Gaming has half a slot taller cooler (which is slightly different design) and 2mm bigger fans. Basically it should have better cooling than the Windforce, but probably by a very small margin.

I was planning to wait and see how the new Ryzens perform but recently Far Cry 5 had the occasional asset streaming spike with all my 7700K threads hitting 100% momentarily and at the same time I found a decent deal for 8700K+motherboard so I went for it. It's a beast of a processor but I'm also...

Some random store could be considered placeholder pricing to get early pre-orders in but this is not that anymore. There are reliable sources now so unless AMD is for some insane reason trying to fool everyone, the launch prices will be really high. For reference Vega RX 64 air cooled models...

I'll just say this: prices in euro zone have not gone up these past few weeks, not with GPUs or anything else. In fact 1080 prices have typically come down a bit or in some cases a lot since the launch. Stock isn't any better here but prices are still slowly going down. Now because £ is...

GLH/Gamerock is probably the cooler to beat right now. I'm happy with my Gaming X but if I was given the choice and everything was in stock, I would pick either GLH or Gamerock (it helps that I don't care about how the card looks, I just want the best performing, most quiet cooler).

I was afraid of this. I currently have MSI Gaming GTX 770 and at the lowest fan speed setting in Afterburner, it's still audible. Well, it was audible, then one of the fans broke and I swapped in an aftermarket cooler (MK-26) with couple of TY-141 coolers, but even those fans at the lowest...

MSI card with Twin Frozr IV (like the card you linked) is probably the best choice if you want cool&quiet. Here's an image someone just made based on Techpowerup GTX 760 tests: http://i.imgur.com/0FYuRlb.png Before Twin Frozr IV, Asus DC2 coolers were probably the best for noise/cooling so...

Demo is coming later (around release time). Tech preview is not meant to be a demo although many people consider it one.

Well because if you go and buy a retail copy of Windows 8 Upgrade version, your original license remains a valid license. I was wondering if the same applied to this digital version.

I'd really like the answer to these as well.
