Asus found a problem with some of their fancy computer coolers that stops them from working properly. The ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB coolers lose their cooling power after getting really hot for three straight days. These coolers have bright screens and colorful lights that normally work great. The company will replace broken units for free. People who push their computers really hard during extreme tests usually face this issue.
The coolers work fine at normal temperatures between 40 and 45 degrees. Asus tests every cooler for three days at 70 degrees before selling them. The trouble starts when temperatures go above 90 degrees for 72 hours straight. Hardcore computer users who overclock their systems often hit these extreme...
European Union documents just spilled the beans on Logitech's upcoming MX Master 4 mouse. The leaked pictures show what changes the company made from their last version. The new mouse keeps the same basic shape but adds some fresh touches.
The front buttons got a makeover and stretch across the entire width for a smoother look. The old model had a plastic chunk on the right side that made things look messy. Logitech cleaned that up completely.
The thumb area went through major changes that users will notice right away. The bumpy texture disappeared and the whole side works as one giant button instead of just the bottom part. They also stuck a third thumb button up front to give people more control options.
The thumb scroll wheel...
ASUS just rolled out new power supplies for serious computer users who need tons of electricity. The Pro WS series comes in three sizes that can handle 1600, 2200, or 3000 watts of power. These units earned the 80 Plus Platinum badge, which means they work really well without wasting energy. People who run multiple graphics cards or other heavy computer parts will love how steady these power supplies perform.
The company made one smart change that catches your eye right away. They colored their 12VHPWR connectors purple instead of the usual yellow that other brands use. This bright purple color helps users see if they plugged the cable in all the way. Many people have had problems with these new connectors because they can overheat or...
Owlcat Games plans to create a Mass Effect style adventure game based on The Expanse science fiction series. Creative Director Alexander Mishulin explained how his team loved the idea after someone pitched it internally at their studio. The developers contacted Alcon Entertainment who controls the license and both companies got excited about working together. Development started back in 2021 with the team spending almost one year making prototypes and testing different combat systems.
The game takes place between the first and second books of The Expanse series during major events that fans already know about. Players will create their character and choose whether they come from Earth, Mars, or the Belt asteroid colonies. Each...
A repair technician discovered a fake NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card that someone bought from a Chinese seller for $2,000. The buyer thought they found a great deal since these cards usually cost over $2,500 everywhere else. YouTuber Northwestrepair took apart the ZOTAC graphics card and found something shocking underneath the cooling system. The main processor chip and all memory modules had been completely removed from the circuit board.
Scammers had ripped off the most expensive parts that make up about 80 percent of the card's total value. The GB202 processor chip and GDDR7 memory were missing entirely from the green circuit board. Previous scams involved sellers putting rice, pasta, or backpacks inside graphics card boxes instead...
A popular PC program called Lossless Scaling helps games run smoother even when they lack official support for frame generation technology. The latest version 3.2 works almost as well as expensive NVIDIA graphics cards for creating extra frames in games like Cyberpunk 2077. YouTube creator Feaj tested different settings and found the 2x option matches NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation performance with only small visual problems.
The program beats NVIDIA Smooth Motion because it creates better picture quality despite having similar input delays. Gamers who cannot afford newer graphics cards can use this software to improve their gaming experience. The app works great with older NVIDIA cards that lack frame generation features and classic...
CD Projekt Red wants to create something special with The Witcher 4 that takes advantage of modern gaming technology. The team studied how much better computers and game engines have become since The Witcher 3 came out years ago. They plan to use these improvements to make a gaming experience that feels completely new and advanced.
The developers showed off their progress at Unreal Fest with a tech demo featuring the village of Valdrest. This virtual town packed over 300 computer-controlled characters into one area. The crowd density matches what players saw in Novigrad, the biggest city from The Witcher 3.
Engineering Production Manager Jan Hermanowicz explained how his team analyzed old footage from Novigrad before building...
Epic Games made their Unreal Engine 5.6 much faster than the old 5.4 version. A YouTube channel called MxBenchmarkPC tested both versions using the Paris Tech Demo on an RTX 5080 graphics card. The newer engine runs games about 25 percent better on graphics cards and uses more power because it works harder. Processing speed jumped up to 35 percent faster with smoother performance overall. The lighting and reflections also look much better than before.
Unreal Engine 5.6 came out this month after Epic showed it at their annual Unreal Fest event. The company added better ray tracing features that make Lumen lighting work faster. They also improved how games load huge worlds without delays and made motion effects easier to use. Epic used...
Nintendo brought updated versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom to the Switch 2 console. The original Switch versions had technical problems like inconsistent frame rates and blurry graphics. The new editions run at 1440p resolution when docked and 1080p in handheld mode with much sharper visuals. Performance jumped from shaky 30fps to a solid 60fps across both games. Even demanding areas like the Fire Temple run smoothly without technical hiccups.
The most impressive addition comes through Zelda Notes, a mobile app that connects with the Switch 2. Players can mark locations of items, enemies, and landmarks on an interactive map that syncs with their game progress. The app provides GPS-style directions to marked...
