    Is it possible to have windows 7 on Z790 with i7

    You can always run them in compatibility mode. I play Oblivion on Windows 11 all the time, no cracks (I have the original DVD, but have imaged it onto a file for easy access without DVD-ROM). Compatibility mode from application properties is what you need in case it doesn't work out of the box...

    Petition to keep the forum apolitical

    Is this your assumption? Because I said nothing like that. Making assumptions about my political leanings based on something I said (that has nothing to do with politics) is one of the key milestones of a fractious and toxic environment. There's a reason people like us don't participate in...

    Petition to keep the forum apolitical

    I'll simply chime in here from my experience on another forum, which 1) is a specialised, niche, highly technical field 2) is an international forum, which means most of the audience there is American or European 3) completely bans all political discussions regardless of which side of the...

    What will Gen AI do in 2025. How long before AI can self regulate?

    What will Gen AI do in 2025. How long before AI can self regulate?

    Nowhere. Gen AI has already started cannibalising itself. Amazon for example is full of AI generated reviews, which other models are using as input data and we've already started seeing huge downgrades in output of both LLMs and image generation as a result (The Coca Cola Christmas ad comes to...

    All things SFF

    Is MFF OK? Just completed a larger build in the "humungous" Phanteks P200A, deshrouded Zotac GTX1080 Amp Extreme, and the same B550i + 5600G combo that I was using in my earlier music-only build. This would be a great bedroom combo for older games - I play a ton of Skyrim, the original 2011...

    Thermal tape and NVME heatsink

    Careful with tape. I bent a 970 Evo Plus like a banana while removing the heatsink because I forgot I had used tape to attach it. Drive still works, thankfully. I now use a thermal pad and some velcro, work a charm and quickly reversible. The rubber bands included with aftermarket sinks tend to...

    Small Footprint cases with preferably ATX Motherboard Support

    I have both the 5900X and the B550-ITX (two different systems). I see over 150W on my 5900X at peak load, this is about 125A. The B550-ITX board I have is just about able to keep up with the 5600G in it. The VRM gets very hot and I don't trust it for long term or high load use, but of course one...

    Intel BXNUC10I5FNHWA5

    I've had the opposite experience, but I usually don't run Windows on them anyway, and they are rarely turned off.

    Small Footprint cases with preferably ATX Motherboard Support

    Lancool 207 is the smallest mainstream case that can fit your motherboard. There's the Coolermaster Qube 500 (?) which is also small, but has some restrictions on GPU length once the PSU is installed. MD Computers is currently selling the Asrock B550 ITX, but it can't support your CPU.

    Intel is sunsetting its NUC business

    I was looking for the exact SKU, not the family description. Wasn't sure if this is a genuine Intel product or an outsourced version specific to India and the Next Billion program (or whatever it was called then). I later found out you need a login to view all SKUs in a given family, I suspect...

    Intel BXNUC10I5FNHWA5

    For office and browsing, YouTube, can't see anything wrong with it. I am waiting for 23H2 to deploy (comes with 22H2) and then will run Atlas on it. 8Gb is a little low, so an upgrade is planned. I was planning on using it as a music transport and server, but the fan is a little noisy for...
