    The following list is based on facts, ranked on power delivery and known problems. The list will include modern motherboards for both Intel and AMD chips From Asus, Asrock, Biostar EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, NZXT and Supermicro (chipsets will be listed). We’ll include the recommended chips we would do with the boards.

    AMD (AM4 Althlon 2xx, Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, Ryzen 9)
    All current draw figures are based on Prime95 small FFT with AVX unless otherwise specified, in other words the worst case scenario. Only the top end SKU of CPUs in the same generation and core/thread count configuration is named, others share the same rating. Zen scales down frequency and voltage according to EDC (current limit) and TDC (thermal limit) settings of the motherboard so in theory you won’t cook the VRM of any board at stock, you just lose frequency.

    Josiah_L reacted to GoodBytes in Microsoft introduces New Office icons   
    And from this announcement, it looks like Microsoft is planning to change Windows icons as well.
    Notice also, on the Start menu, the removal of the background square on the All App list.
     
    From the video:

     
    Notice the File Explorer icon, News app, Calculator app, Calendar, Photos and Teams icons.
    i am sure they are still in the works and will reveal once done. But nice to see some color, and allow the icons to be more identifiable to quickly, well, identify apps.

    Josiah_L reacted to bellabichon in Which ssd should I go for   
    For a gaming PC I would probably recommend the Samsung one, but for a school laptop, the WD blue will do just fine.

    500GB much better value for the capacity
     
    Eventually you'll fill that extra space up, no worries.

    Josiah_L reacted to Flawizz in 250GB or 500GB for SSD   
    well. obv 500gb. you stated no reason as to why a 500gb would be a bad decision. if u need those games and apps. bigger size is better
  8. Agree
    Josiah_L reacted to SoreRaito in 250GB or 500GB for SSD   
    Since i am using a 1tb SSD as my main drive i would suggest you to get the 500gb version you wont regret it when you have the money for it.
