Corsair RM1000e ATX 3.1 power supply review

Tom’s Hardware Verdict The Corsair RM1000e stands out for its tight voltage regulation, excellent ripple suppression, and stable thermal management. Although its reliance on second-tier components and a minimal accessory bundle raises concerns, the 7-year warranty mitigates these issues. However, at $170, it faces severe competition, even by Corsair’s own better products.

CPU Fan Header: Connecting Properly to Motherboard

Afterinstalling a CPU cooler, your next task is connecting its cable to the CPU header. Without it, the fans won’t spin, which ultimately leads toCPU overheating. In fact, most systemswon’t let you boot up. They will throw some forms ofCPU error messages. Clearly, your processor fans must be running and for that, a dedicated motherboard connection is required. But other identical headers, likeCPU_FAN2orCPU_OPTmight confuse you. Ever wondered what would happen if you connected the fan cable to a chassis/system/pump header?...

Exclusive: GlobalFoundries says MIPS takeover will expand its business without creating competitive friction with its clients

However, after talking with the company, we can confirm that this is not the case and that GlobalFoundries does not have ambitions to become an integrated device manufacturer. Instead, it will be able to offer a pret-a-porter compute IP to its clients to speed up their time to market....

Fastest 3D printers benchmarked: Top printers ranked by output time

There’s no doubt about it. 3D printers have been getting a lot faster and that’s a good thing. Models that used to take hours to complete can now be done in minutes. And the technical improvements are not limited to expensive printers either. Even basic machines can be found with stock installations of speedy Klipper firmware, Volcano nozzles and samples of high-flow PLA filament. To find out which FDM-style (filament) 3D printer offers the best combination of quickness and quality output, we performed a timed print test using standard settings, max acceleration and no restrictions on flow....

Former Intel CPU engineer details how internal x86-64 efforts were suppressed prior to AMD64's success

Earlier today on Twitter, AMD engineer Phil Park identified a curious nugget of PC architectural history from, of all places, a year-oldQuoraanswer posted by former Intel engineer Robert Colwell. The nugget indicates that Intel could have beaten AMD to the x86-64 punch if the former wasn’t dead-set on the x64-only Itanium line of CPUs. The historical context of this story and the comments within are fascinating, especially considering today’s desktop CPU architectures, where “64-bit” is immediately understood to mean x86-64 — because who wants a computer that can’t natively run most applications made for a PC?...
