    Sakkura got a reaction from Alexli14 in NVMe M.2 Drives on X79   
    Nonsense. They absolutely are.
     
    However, X79 boards will not support an NVMe boot drive. Old tech is old.

    Sakkura got a reaction from StDragon in Are photons massless?   
    It's not just mass that warps spacetime. It's any contribution to the stress-energy tensor, which means even the energy of massless photons contributes.
     
    If you somehow manage to pack enough photons together into a small enough volume, you can generate a black hole. That's called a Kugelblitz.

    Sakkura reacted to poochyena in Alienware no longer shipping high end gaming PCs to certain US States, citing new power consumption regulations   
    Isn't amazing how you can get 15,000 likes on twitter for completely making stuff up?
    Not only that, but he doubles down
    Cars, famous for lacking any energy regulations.

    Try Half Life Alyx, then it'll technically be VR sickness rather than motion sickness.

    Sakkura reacted to Kilrah in So... how come no one talks about Half Life: Alyx anymore?   
    Probably because so much has been said about it already that the new content doesn't add anything more? There was a LOT of coverage about it since release, I'd expect we're in the phase where all was said and there's no point repeating it, and it'll take a few years until new takes on it based on comparisons with what came out next become interesting again. 
    Lots of good content about the other HL series episodes has come out recently from that retrospective point of view, but it's too early for Alyx.

    Sakkura got a reaction from Techstorm970 in Rumor: AMD to go LGA with AM5, PCIe Gen 5 limited to only EPYC CPUs for Zen 4 Update: More leaks   
    As long as they can add PCIe 5.0 later, when it's needed, this all sounds good to me.

    Sakkura reacted to AndreiArgeanu in Rumor: AMD to go LGA with AM5, PCIe Gen 5 limited to only EPYC CPUs for Zen 4 Update: More leaks   
    PCIE 5.0 is overkill for consumer hardware and will be for a while. You don't need PCIE 5.0. Also AMD can't support the same socket forever, there's already been 4 generation of cpu's on the same socket, far more than what Intel has ever done, and it's already muddy when it comes to compatibility between cpu's and motherboards, I think 4 generations is more than enough for a single socket, and it's fair for AMD to move on to a different socket so they don't have to deal with all the backwards compatbility bs.

    Sakkura got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in convince me that AIOs are better than what it was 5 years ago.   
    There hasn't been any significant change in how AIOs work or are manufactured in the last 5 years. You were probably unlucky back then and more likely to get a better one if you buy now, but that's purely by chance.

    Sakkura got a reaction from 8-Bit Ninja in Can my GPU and CPU handle 120hz Monitors?   
    It depends on the resolution and even more so on what games you run, but generally a GTX 1060 is a bit less than you'd want for a high refresh rate monitor.
  14. Agree
    Sakkura got a reaction from NattyKathy in Is this a new type of motherboard overclock?   
    I don't believe those limits are accurate. In any case, a motherboard can be configured differently or have a secondary controller that effectively (sort of) adds more lanes.
  15. Agree
    Sakkura got a reaction from dizmo in How much even is the "Prebuilt Tax"?   
    They're using a more expensive motherboard and CPU, though you're right that the CPUs are pretty comparable in performance. You also haven't included a CPU cooler and Windows key.
     
    So maybe the prebuilt tax is more like $500 Canadian in this case. Still shows you why prebuilts are not normally recommended. There may still be better prebuilt deals around, but this certainly isn't the worst you could pick.

    Sakkura got a reaction from WhitetailAni in Why are there not any PGA latching "mechanisms" like intel has?   
    I don't see any reason you couldn't have a better latching system with PGA, just AMD has picked a pretty flimsy one for some reason.
     
    Also, I completely disagree that it's easy to clean an LGA socket if you get thermal paste into it.

    Sakkura got a reaction from ApexArticO5 in Is it better to transfer game files form HDD to SSD or to download them again?   
    Yeah most likely. Lots of small files could slow it down but your HDD should be able to transfer faster than 20 Mbps (2.5 MB/s) on average.

    Sakkura reacted to Middcore in Bethesda is embroiled in a new potentially billion-dollar lawsuit which could delay Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax   
    Your post has two main points: 
     
    1. "Here's a bunch of stuff being claimed by the lawyers suing Bethesda/Zenimax."
     
    2. "Lawyers are basically all a bunch of sociopathic liars." 
     
    Maybe you haven't given this the amount of thought it warrants.
