This is a Mini ITX build, pretty standard, except for its one of the new MSI AM5 Project Zero motherboard (the new ones with the connector ports on the rear) and the Corsair 2500D case.
Both of these are worth highlighting, the case design is like a mini Lian Li O11D type dual compartment design
For anyone using 3rd party anti virus, they are all just malware these days on windows.
This is exactly what an anti virus suite is supposed to prevent, your personal data being hijacked by hostile parties.
Windows defender is very strong, often better than these 3rd parties anyway, and...
FINALLY!
Still in beta, anyone is free to join the beta now.
Firstly, no logon required so that’s a huge win!
Now it’s experience and all the tools plus control panel all in one app!
Hi all
There have recently been a few vulnerabilities found on AMD CPU's, and they're released a new AGESA update 1.2.0.C which addresses these. There is likely already a BIOS update including this ready for your motherboard now.
Board manufacturers will be releasing updates in the coming days...
This is EXCELLENT news! Userbenchmark has had to apply a $10 a month paywall for users, this is likely because traffic has hugely fallen and so they're not garnering the advertising revenue they used to from google adsense.
So WELL DONE TO ALL OF US for not putting up with lies and...
Hi all
So I have a MBP with Sonoma 14.3.1
Have always had this issue with Sonoma.
I know SMB has always been problematic on MacOS but does seem worse than I’ve had previously on an old MBP that was on OS12 I think.
I’ve got a windows 11 server running as my SMB host. For testing I’ve forced...
Apologies to newcomers, but this is purely for the regular members, you know who you are, if you're at all uncertain, do post below and query. This includes some of the regulars who may not attend so frequently.
I have a box of black 3 x 120mm ML Pro fans up for grabs. They're superb fans, only...

Well well well, doesn't feel like Windows 11 has been around very long at all, and here we are with final dev releases of Windows 12.

Not sure how I feel about this drive towards AI, I was excited at first, but it's quickly...
This is quite interesting to watch, remember, 95 was really Microsofts first hit OS, before then it was primarily a work based machine as Apple really dominated until Windows 3.0 was released. But Windows 1.0 was the initial graphical user interface on Windows in around 1985, previous to that it...
This is all very new to me, but I've increasingly seen people adding figurines to the internals of their PCs and really like the idea
So on my new build, I thought I'd have a look and see if anything leapt out.
Low and behold, this came up, just too cool to miss out on!
Should be arriving...
So love them or hate them, and I've been thinking about this, the only areas I dislike them is the white goods space and mobiles (which I know I'm in the minority), but in the display arena, Samsung are currently breaking boundaries across the board. But I really like their headphones and...
So this is one of the first of the new OLED 2 panels and it's looking highly promising.
The MSI 321URX
This is a pre-production unit, so they can't do a full review of it, it's more of a first use experience.
But seems to correct the text display issues we've seen on first gen models, so this...
The IP copyright Disney had on the very first Mickey Mouse, known as Steamboat Willie expired at the end of last year, so now it's a public IP that anyone can use. I think it's 100 year copyright.
Apparently Disney lobbied to have the copyright period lengthened twice successfully, it was...
So there was an old thread from 2012 on Half Life 3, but I thought that kind of necro was going a little too far so thought would create a new one
The Half Life series have been some of the most groundbreaking games ever made, and each game has pivoted the gaming space forwards.
If you haven't...
