Another fantastic Newegg combo deal has combined the eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 RAM and an Asus ROG Strix X870E-E motherboard for just $1,019.99, making the RAM effectively just $111 in this build.
Have you ever wanted to use a fan that's more than three times as loud as the other option while providing the same performance? If you answered in resounding joy, then this project is exactly what you've been looking for. A YouTuber 3D-printed a fan that's actually made up of 15 tiny fans, fit inside the frame of a regular 120mm fan modelled after the Noctua NF-A12x25.
Nvidia shows off its next-generation Kyber rack-scale solution to be powered by Rubin Ultra GPUs with four compute chiplets and 1 TB of HBM4E memory per package.
Maker Will Whang designed the MK4001MTD USB Bridge to facilitate the use of the world’s smallest (0.85-inch) mechanical hard drives, originally released by Toshiba in 2004.
The Seagate FireCuda X1070 is a budget-minded SSD done mostly right. It performs well enough and has excellent support, but initial pricing is high. A Gen 4 SSD that you can just throw into any system and get the job done.
At GTC 2026, Nvidia revealed the Groq 3 accelerator and Groq LPX rack as part of the Vera Rubin platform. These SRAM-packed, inference-focused chips deliver large amounts of memory bandwidth to help Rubin deliver low-latency interactions with AI models spanning trillions of parameters and million-token contexts.
Nvidia announced more details about its new 88-core Vera data center CPUs, claiming impressive 50% performance gains over standard CPUs, fueled by a 1.5X increase in IPC from its Olympus cores. The firm also unveiled its new Vera CPU Rack architecture, which brings 256 liquid-cooled CPUs into one rack for CPU-centric workloads.
A single-fan RTX 4070 Ti Super had been in the works at Zephyr, a Chinese vendor, for a while, and it was close to completion, with even thermal testing data publicly released. Unfortunately, the memory crisis has gotten to Zephyr as well, and it has cancelled the project, choosing to instead develop an RTX 4070 Super instead.
An RTX 5070 Ti with user-applied liquid metal died because the TIM leaked out everywhere and shorted multiple components, eventually killing the core as well. Despite being part of a "repair" video, there's nothing really here to fix, as most of the important ICs would need to be replaced or at least reballed.
Asus launched this motherboard at $310 in late 2024, and since then its MSRP has gone down to $280, but you can score it for 40% less than that on Amazon right now. For that price, nothing really comes close in terms of performance, features, and reliability.
A new LLVM patch has added V_FMA_F32, a 3-operand fused multiply-add (FMA instruction and introduced the VOPD3 instruction format for RDNA 5. Both of these changes should make it easier for compilers to use dual issue execution, working around the strict pairing rules that would otherwise limit max FP32 throughput in certain workloads.
