NZXT H9 Flow Case Blows Past Airflow Limits
NZXT released new computer cases for people who build their PCs at home. The H9 Flow comes as a regular model or with changing colored lights.

Redstone FSR4 AI Tricks Double Your FPS
AMD plans a new FSR4 update called Redstone for late 2025. The update will help gamers with RX 9060 XT, 9070, or 9070 XT graphics cards. Players can expect higher frame rates during gameplay.

Threadripper 9995WX CPU Destroys Your Slow PC
AMD created new Threadripper chips for people who need massive computing power. The top model comes with 96 cores and 192 threads to handle heavy tasks like 3D rendering. These processors run faster because they use the Zen 5 design that pushes more instructions through each cycle. Users can add up to four memory sticks for super-fast data flow above 200 GB per second. Cooling remains important since these chips can heat up during long jobs. The PRO models offer extra security features built into the chip itself. IT teams can update these systems remotely without touching each computer. AMD promises to make replacement parts for at least one year after release. The regular Threadripper models let users change clock speeds for better...
