The influx of gaming monitors sporting quantum dot organic light emitting-diode (QD-OLED) panels continues with the launch of Gigabyte's Aorus MO27U2, a 27-inch display with a respectable specs sheet. It may not necessarily rise to the "groundbreaking" status that Gigabyte pitches in its press release (more on that in...

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

As more and more electronic devices enter the household, I've developed a slightly irrational fear that a faulty cable or power adapter will overheat, catch fire, and burn everything to the ground.

Regular readers probably think of Gigabyte primarily as a purveyor of motherboards and graphics cards. In the last few years, though, the component vendor has been positioning itself as a provider of premium PC display panels, and it has garnered itself a following among gamers for its reasonably-priced screens with...

Gigabyte has gone and quietly introduced its first mini-ITX form factor motherboard based on AMD's X870 chipset, and from the renders we've seen, it's quite the looker. As the model name implies, Gigabyte's new Aorus X870I Pro Ice mostly ditches a darker colorway for a white (and off-white) motif that, in the right...

It would be dopey of AMD to only release a single current-generation consumer processor (read: Zen 5) with 3D V-Cache, and also unprecedented. So color us not the least bit surprised that a major hardware partner—Gigabyte, in case you skipped right past the headline—has essentially confirmed that at least one more...

When building your PC, one of the most time consuming tasks is making the cables neat and tidy, rather than having a rat's nest of wires run amok in your rig. So it goes with traditional motherboards, anyway. However, if you abhor cable management, Gigabyte has some good news—it just launched a new AMD motherboard...

Intel's been under some fire recently for issues affecting its top-end Core i9 processors from both the 13th- and 14th-generation Core families. Some of these chips, even when set to "BIOS defaults", will crash or otherwise fail in certain tests, most commonly Cinebench 2024 and especially, games using Unreal Engine...

Sometimes it only takes a little spark to ignite a fire, which then quickly spreads. Need proof? We're seeing this play out in real time, metaphorically, as major monitor players update their respective warranties for longer coverage and to explicitly guarantee against image retention, otherwise known as burn-in.

Monitor makers have been slow to adopt DisplayPort 2.1/2.1a connectivity, which is a bummer if you're in urgent need of a display and want to future-proof your setup (as much as possible, anyway—true future-proofing is an impossible task). Well, that's about to change. Gigabyte has introduced a trio of new displays...
