I only realised that the Corsair RM 550 X had something called in-cable capacitors to reduce/eliminate ripples (read a forum thread over techpowerup that eventually devolved, but was still informative). They don't blow out do they? Also, before I shutdown the computer, I did get to see the GPU...

Yeah, I just hope its the PSU as it's the least costliest to replace bar destructive cascade failures (there was repeated GPU fan high RPM during the gameplay), though I now wonder whether it was the Seasonic S12 PSU that had a previous pop or another PSU because apparently I still have the...

I'm thinking of RMAing my PSU anyway as I've located my printed invoice and I've still got the box to ship it out. But the GPU won't be easy to diagnose or capable to RMA. I'm just glad it didn't pop a fire or pop while it wasn't monitored leading to an unknown component failure state. Though I...

Was playing Hitman WOA with a RTX 3060 GPU and Corsair RM 550X PSU, when a loud pop was heard followed by a burnt smell was detected. PC was still running fine during the game but a normal shutdown was initiated, followed by powerline disconnection. Mainboard caps look fine except for 2...

Too bad I'm still on Windows Phone 7.8.

At first I was confused by whether the microfluidics technology was supposed to help in gathering biopsies from patients, but instead, in reality, the microfluidics was helping out in pathology through improvement in analysing biopsy samples.

This is as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

It's clever marketing, but not necessarily a brilliant strategy down the line.

EA are dreaming up 'next-generation' possibilities of 'always online', 'micro-transactions' and 'social interaction' after its debacles on the PC market.

Congress decides to forget their job of overseeing federal agencies that routinely peruse private information on a far massive scale (sometimes with lackadaisical, or non-existent privacy concern protections), and decide to focus on the sensational consumer wireless-computer-camera-on-an-eye-frame.

"Nature has developed and refined these concepts over the course of billions of years of evolution" Evolutionary biologists postulate the earliest "proto-eye" evolutionary timeframe being in the region of 540 million years. Robotic scientists, however, decide to up that count to billions. Stick...

As a Samsung Focus owner ... we pretty much feel being left to rot in 7.5 ...

Lost customers? No. Lost some marketing guys? Yes.
