    AliExpress CPUs Legitimate?

    I bought a 7700X from MicroCenter at the end of June that turned out to be a dud. I'm going to try RMAing it after I can get a replacement. I've heard that process takes 1 1/2 months with AMD. I've found an AliExpress seller that's been active for four years with 99% positive feedback and 5...

    Swiftech H220X restored to new(ish)

    I know the old acrylic plate looks filthy but that's entirely rust from the steel screws being in contact with coolant (note, more rust around the cracked corners). When I dumped out the coolant to disassemble the system it was as clear as it went in. I had previously topped off the reservoir...

    ASRock - BIOS updates for older chipsets vs. Spectre/Meltdown

    ASRock published a huge dump of new BIOS revisions with security microcode updates yesterday and today.

    Fan Speed Bug Still Exists (albeit quite rarely)

    New CPU OPNs (incl. C3 Stepping)

    OPN for 9950 125W?

    Anyone know it yet? Looks like the 140w parts are out or deactivated at Newegg/Tigerdirect. Google turns up a few random stores with 125w labeled items that still have the 140w OPN. Not sure if that's a sign...or simply the usual mislabeling by unknown e-tailers.
