You can run an NVMe drive on a PCI-e adapter on an older system without a problem, at least as far as I have tested. You just won't be able to boot from it without a BIOS mod. I use adapters like this with great success: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078WRG94P
That's not too bad. Although it still hurts me to think that I was buying used RX 580 8GB Red Devil cards for $120 shipped on eBay just a few months ago.
I was so desperate for a deal I bought a lot of 10 XFX RX 470 4GB cards with bad fans and fixed them up, just to get a few cheap GPUs for me...
I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but now is probably a pretty bad time to buy. Supply chain issues and a surge in enthusiast demand are impacting pricing in a pretty negative way right now. This is the first time in a long while that I have seen new and used prices go up...
I don't know why, but I am all about the Glacier Freeze flavor, part of the "Frost" lineup. The regular blue is not so great.
My least favorite is the Lemon Lime, probably because I drank four cases of it as a kid. The old man brought home a bunch leftover from a work event and I was a...
I would expect announcements from both sides as early as August. Next-gen consoles will launch at or before the holiday season this year if the rumor mill is to be believed (which I think it is), and both AMD and NVIDIA will definitely want to get their new product lines out in advance of that...
I don't get what Samsung is thinking with their current pricing. The gap between their flagship offerings and the "budget" Phison and even Realtek drives out there is not substantial enough to justify their MSRP. I guess consumer sales must be a small slice of the pie compared to OEM and...
I share your sentiment. There is quite a bit of demand right now for, well, pretty much any functional hardware it seems. This is the first time since the Taiwan hard drive floods of 2010/2011 that I've seen the prices on used parts go up.
I remember seeing the ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus...
There must be something in the air regarding CMOS batteries. I just had to replace one in an LGA1155 system for a friend. I would say he had a good run on the no-name battery that was in there.
It's definitely the case that the LCDs used for UV masking in the entry level/low end resin printers are regarded as a consumable item. I had an AnyCubic Photon for a while. It cost me $289 on sale for the printer, and the replacement LCD modules were in the $80 range if memory servers. They...
It's possible, but I don't really think that is something their marketing department intended to happen. They usually stick to the "harass Intel" strategy as of late.
That $50 price cut at launch was just a last-minute course correction to slot their Navi cards in just right. AMD needed to...
I can't say that I am surprised by these power consumption numbers. Given the thermal characteristics of the 9th-gen parts this seems right in line for Comet Lake. I will also say that this does not bode well in my mind for Rocket Lake at all. Backporting Willow Cove to 14nm is not going to do...
