    CPU/Mobo Updated Database for AM5 motherboards

    Heads up, the htmview?pli=1 at the end of your url is forcing the page into minimalist mode. I wasted some time figuring out how to get out of it :expressionless:

    Curious about what you mean by this. Maybe you can expand a bit?

    Other What's the deal with Kindle availability?

    Kindles have been out of stock on Amazon for a while now - I remember trying to buy one a year ago and seeing its unavailable. Does anyone know when or if they'll be back in stock? From reading reddit threads it looks like the old ones were discontinued to make way for the new gen, but then for...

    [Curiosty Thread] Will humanity ever go beyond a Type 4 Civilization?

    I think at this point no matter how badly the planet gets ****ed up, humans will survive somehow, even if it is very few rich people in bunkers. But something like the fall of Rome and a regression of civilization could happen. In fact it would be a miracle something like that didn't happen in...

    Would the new Daredevil make sense to someone who hasn't seen the old show?

    I was under the impression AMD had straight up confirmed there will be no 9080xt? Do let me know if I'm wrong or there's new information, would be very interested in a 9080xt.

    The book I am reading currently

    DCC is the only LitRPG I've read, so it's a bit difficult for me to compare with other works. I would say the closest comparison is the Percy Jackson series, it has a similar kind of humour and action, except designed for an adult audience. I feel quite lucky to have been in the target demo for...

    The supply issue is not artificial, there's only so much chip capacity to distribute. If nvidia tried to increase 50 series supply, they would be taking it from their server chips, which makes no sense for them financially. At the end of the day, nvidia is publicly traded. If Jensen ever made...

    The book I am reading currently

    Has anyone read Dungeon Crawler Carl? I was reading guns, germs, and steel and got quite bored, so picked this up on a whim. It's very much a pop fantasy book, it probably won't win any literature awards, but it is engrossing to the point of being addictive. Technically, the genre is LitRPG...

    They've made back what they lost and much more. Even in the Indian market there are companies wanting to buy thousands of chips at $35k+ each, and nvidia's response is to get in line.

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    Was this in EROS, Churchgate? I was planning to catch it in Palladium, Lower Parel. I've heard the Palladium IMAX is supposed to be the best, but not sure.

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    Watched Mickey 17 recently. Have to applaud Robert Pattinson's acting, highlight of the movie for me. It had a strong start, but I think they lost the thread somewhere in act 2. Was kind of surprised by this after how tight Parasite and Snowpiercer were.

    Just finished watching severance season 2. My god, it's been a while since a season finale hit so hard. If anyone's looking for a new show, I highly recommend.

    Soundlink mini 2 successor

    Hey guys. I'm looking to replace my soundlink mini 2 that I bought in 2019. I've been going through speaker reviews and the well-reviewed ones seem to be have kind of a loud design, or they're physically quite big. So, does anyone have suggestions for a sleek good-looking speaker. I use it for...

    Monitors 4k 120Hz HDR Monitor Suggestions

    The taskbar shortcuts work but they're reliant on the icon position, so a bit hard to pull off with the hidden taskbar. Thanks for all the info, although I remain as confused as ever. I think I will hold off on a new monitor until I move out of my current place. If I have enough space I could...

    Monitors 4k 120Hz HDR Monitor Suggestions

    I am using a 4k 32 LG IPS for work right now, and the size is perfect for my desk, hence my strong preference for a 32". I've never used a 2k monitor, but I assume there's a noticeable difference in clarity at this size? I like the idea of using a TV, but I don't think I have the space for it...

    Monitors 4k 120Hz HDR Monitor Suggestions

    I'm looking for a 4k monitor that I can use for gaming and content. Would prefer better HDR performance over refresh rates and response times, since I don't play competitive or multiplayer. 120 Hz is my sweet spot, going higher will not matter much to me. The MSI MPG 321URX looks close to what...

    90K+ Planning my first PC - Budget 1.5L

    Ah looks like I was quite vague. I'm going to be using it for gaming and content consumption. Budget of ~1.5L for the tower, but that can change depending on where I can find the most value. I've created a draft parts list for now, might change depending on GPU prices/availability...
