ASUS has launched a new BIOS update for its ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 that ups the total graphics power (TGP) cap to 450 watts, which could help make the custom card more appealing to overclockers.

It looks as though ASUS is readying a new flagship socket AM5 (LGA 1718) motherboard for AMD's Ryzen 9000 series processors based on Zen 5 (as well as previous gen Zen 4 chips based on the same socket).

What's a 'budget' PC case to you, dear reader? If you're like us, you probably fondly recall a time when you could buy a crappy sheet metal PC case for $35, and it would even come with a really questionable power supply. These days, it's hard to find anything with a design newer than the last ten years for under $70...

Micro Center, a popular US retailer for PC hardware, apparently received a decent shipment of new high-end NVIDIA GPUs.

This GPU generation has been quite the spectacle for the consumer. More accurately, we're the gladiators in the ring, with pricing becoming a daily battle. ASUS, one of the premium board partners for both NVIDIA and AMD, seems to be on the upward trajectory for its GPUs in terms of pricing. For context, NVIDIA's...

I'm dating myself with this reference, but for anyone who gives a hoot, one thing I learned a long time ago from a cartoon owl is that it takes three licks to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop. Here's another sweet fact: you should be able to install and uninstall your graphics card way more than three times without damaging

Have you ever been sitting at your desk wishing you had room for an air purifier alongside all of your computer gear? No? Me neither, but those who have serious hay fever or similar allergies to airborne allergens likely already have such a setup. In case you fall into that category and haven't arranged for an air...

It's been almost a month since the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 landed on retail shelves, both of which sold out in all of a nanosecond (or at least it felt that way). In the days and weeks since, multiple retailers and add-in board (AIB) partners have implemented systems designed to get limited restocks in...

Working an extra long shift can stink but your peripherals don't have do. Not that I've ever had a problem with bad-smelling peripherals. All the same, ASUS is attempting to inject a breath of fresh (or scented) air into the PC peripheral market with its new Fragrance Mouse (MD101), a wireless rodent equipped with an...

Practically everything these days has an artificial intelligence (AI) angle to it, but when it comes to actually getting work done, it all boils down to what you're able to see on your display.
