Shepanator got a reaction from leadeater in AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series coming February/April, 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X3D features 144MB cache: 21-30% higher gaming performance at 1080p (Update #3)
you're incorrect here. If it worked how you just said then cache coherence wouldn't be preserved which is a big no no. AMD CPUs use the MOESI protocol of which a core tenet is direct cache-to-cache transfer of data.
Here is the key quote:
This protocol, a more elaborate version of the simpler MESI protocol (but not in extended MESI - see Cache coherency), avoids the need to write a dirty cache line back to main memory when another processor tries to read it. Instead, the Owned state allows a processor to supply the modified data directly to the other processor. This is beneficial when the communication latency and bandwidth between two CPUs is significantly better than to main memory. -

Shepanator got a reaction from sub68 in EU "Right to Repair" legislation to go into force from March
Starting in March most household appliances sold in Europe will have to comply to new rules making them easy to repair with basic tools. As well as this manufacturers will be required to provide spare parts within 15 days and make repair manuals available to independent specialists. Notably smartphones, tablets and laptops are not yet included, but (desktop) computers, game consoles, and most types of household appliance are covered by the laws.
Quote:
I think this is fantastic news, and the legislation that covers smartphones & laptops as well can't come soon enough. I wonder if appliance manufacturers will start making spare parts available world-wide or only in the EU market, If they choose not to then a grey-market of spare parts trading will probably spring up, with Europeans shipping spare parts to other parts of the world. I'm particularly interested to see how Apple responds to this, their iMacs are notoriously difficult to repair and would require some considerable work to make them compliant with the new European laws.

Shepanator got a reaction from CarlBar in EU "Right to Repair" legislation to go into force from March
Here's the list of products which the new laws apply to (linked in OP):
Basically almost every household appliance is covered it seems. Also I think splitting hairs over smartphones technically being computers is being a bit pedantic, they obviously mean desktop computers. They are just using generic language, I'm sure if you dig into the legally binding text they would be a bit more specific. I edited the OP to make this more clear

Shepanator got a reaction from Wan70 in What should I review next?
You should review some aftermarket GPU coolers like the Morpheus II and Prolimatech MK-26.
If you want a silent system then people recommend a large CPU air cooler like a Noctua NH-D15, but that doesn't stop your GPU being loud. With one of these coolers installed your GPU can be as quiet as your CPU, especially when running with premium 120/140mm fans over the gpu's stock fans.
Those heatsinks must be at least 3-4x the volume of a normal dual slot cooler too, so your GPU is likely to boost even higher than it would normally.
I think it would make a really interesting video to see the benefits of those coolers tested.

Shepanator got a reaction from BiscuitMassacre in Does LTT suffer from YouTube algorithm changes?
I was reading this article where youtube denies that they have been adjusting their algorithm recently, despite pewdiepie saying his views went from being 30% suggested video clicks to less than 1%.
I was wondering if LTT has seen a similar drop?
Sorry if this has already been spoken about somewhere, I'll delete this thread if so.
Also I guess this is directed at @LinusTech

Shepanator got a reaction from Axeonelite in Minors playing M rated games. How do you feel?
I personally think it's up to the discretion of the parent- to a point.
The ratings are a guideline but if you're aware of the content in the game and feel your child won't be adversely affected by it, then let them play it.
In the UK the law permits children to drink alcohol on private property with their parents, it means parents can teach their children how to be responsible around alcohol, so when they turn 18 they don't suddenly start binge drinking and make terrible mistakes. It both teaches the child about it and also removes the mysticism of it. Admittedly not all parents take advantage of this rule and binge drinking among young people was a problem in the uk until fairly recently, but the rules do exist to allow responsible underage consumption.
Mature games are much the same I believe, although binge playing violent games won't destroy your body :-)
Note: If parents allow their child to get drunk then they will be prosecuted under child abuse laws, so the law isn't allowing parents to get their children sh*tfaced!

Shepanator got a reaction from Weeds in Need help on PC components
A titan XP is a waste of money, wait for the 1080ti. An overclocked non-reference 1080ti will perform better than a Titan XP, it was the same with the Titan X and the 980ti before it.
As for your CPU, it's perfectly fine. It will only bottleneck on more CPU heavy games like RTS, city builders, games with heavy procedural generation, etc. Most games your cpu will be 100% fine, you can get another 2 or 3 years out of it imo.

Shepanator got a reaction from XenosTech in Playstation VR outsells Vive and Rift COMBINED (Maybe)
More adults own consoles than own gaming PCs. In fact if you look at any demographic there are almost always going to be more console owners.
The simple fact is that better graphics don't make a game more fun, and the average console player doesn't care that a mouse would be more accurate to play shooters.
Being elitist is just stupid, in the end everybody plays games to have fun, do you think you're having more fun because you can get better graphics?
