This is how an Intel Core i9-9900K is Disassembled

October 22, 2018 By Muntazir Mehdi Leave a Comment

Der8auer shows a very interesting comparison.

The professional overclocker Der8auer did not take long to launch to dismantle the new Core i9-9900K of the ninth generation of Intel processors. As you already know, apart from being the first eight cores of the blue company, it also stands out for recovering the habit of welding the encapsulation to the chip instead of using a low quality thermal paste. However, when disassembling the processor, Der8auer has discovered something that makes us wonder if it would be the best option for the processor and it would not be so good news if it came, soldier .

In case you are not familiar with the process of disassembling, uncovered or, as it is called, ” delidding “, of a processor, we remind you that it consists of removing the cover (the encapsulation, go) that covers the chip to replace the thermal material standard for another more efficient, such as liquid metal (like gallium). The overclockers experts often conduct this process routinely, but also some enthusiastic users looking to squeeze the maximum potential of their processors.

Apparently, Der8auer realized that his Core i9-9900K was getting hotter than he expected, so he chose to open it and get to the subject. What he discovered is that both the chip and the PCB are thicker than those of the last generation (about 0.30 mm thick). The PCB is close in size to Haswell, which, on the one hand, the professional considers good because they can support heavier and heavier dissipators; but on the other, it may also be affecting the temperatures. Therefore, the overclocker tried to sand the chip to increase the conductivity.

Corsair launches its MP510 series of fastest NVMe SSDs

October 20, 2018 By Muntazir Mehdi Leave a Comment

A new high-end option.

Corsair has announced the launch of a new NVD SSD series of M.2 PCIe format, the Force Series MP510 , which is placed at its top end. These units present sequential read speeds of up to 3480 MB / s and sequential write of 3000 MB / s, making them the fastest of the brand. They are available in capacities of 240, 480, 960 and 1920 GB , and thanks to the M.2 format can be placed perfectly on motherboards or laptops. On the other hand, with the PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 interface it is possible to maximize the bandwidth.

Inside it is NAND flash memory TLC 3D high density, apart from a thermal interface that dissipates heat to move away from the PCB. In this way, it is guaranteed that the units will yield and last for years. This is what we have in terms of prices: 69 dollars for the 240 GB, 129 for the 480 GB and 239 for the 960 GB. The 1920 GB model is at $ 474. They will arrive soon to the stores and will be another option before the overpopulated SSD market that has historically ruled Samsung.

Valve will Optimize SteamVR for Low-End Graphics

October 20, 2018 By Muntazir Mehdi Leave a Comment

The company will use a motion softening technique for this.

Valve wants to get “more users can play VR titles on more computers” by adding a new feature, called ” Motion Smoothing “, to his SteamVR. It is a technique similar to that found in many televisions, but Valve says that it has managed to alleviate the problem of latency caused by these techniques: “Televisions apply smoothing by interpolating frames to create an intermediate frame, which softens movement and increases the frame rate, but it also worsens the latency – something tolerable on a TV, but not on the VR. “

In the case of SteamVR the thing is different. When the platform detects that a game or an application is going to suffer a frame fall, it activates the smoothing of movement examining the last two frames shown correctly, estimates the movement and the animation and extrapolates it to create a new frame. In this way, Valve ensures that it can maintain the frame rate of 90 Hz without causing jerks. This is not something new, because Oculus itself uses a similar technique called ” Asynchronous Reprojection ” in its Rift. In the absence of these solutions, the virtual reality viewers can get caught in a frame and that causes jerks.

For now Motion Smoothing is in beta and only works in Windows 10 with Nvidia hardware. We hope that it will soon be launched on AMD cards as well.

Nintendo Switch Receives a Curious Accessory to Prevent its Use

October 18, 2018 By Muntazir Mehdi Leave a Comment

With padlock included, your children or apartment companies will have a little more complication to play.

Nintendo Switch continues to sell at a good pace in different markets, and with its success in stores also comes not only the interest of some studios to adapt their proposals to the system, but also that of different companies to create the most diverse accessories for the video game console. One of the most curious examples is found in Nintendo Switch Safe, a device with padlock included to prevent other people from playing with the machine or destroying a game in suspension.

To describe this product it is best to attach several images that you can see in this same news. In them you can see a system similar to an anti-theft band of motorcycles that prevents lifting the console on its dock. It also blocks access to USB ports. In short, an imaginative solution to prohibit our young children, if we have them, to play a game to Nintendo Switch when it does not play. It is the price? It can be purchased now, and in various colors, for 17.82 euros.

October 16, 2018 By Muntazir Mehdi Leave a Comment

According to an insider, the company already focuses efforts on the next generation.

While press and users are debating whether a new generation is needed, from Sony at least seem to be concentrating part of their efforts on that hypothetical PlayStation 5. However, in addition to everything presented months ago, the Japanese company would still be saving an exclusive adventure to present before making the promotional leap towards its new hardware.

All this as long as we heed the warning of Benji, an insider, in the ResetEra forums . On the question of whether Sony should increase its presence in future fairs to continue promoting PS4, with the likely launch of PS5 not before 2020, this person said that the Japanese company had already shown the public its main cartridges save this latest adventure.

At the insistence of other users did not want to disclose more information about what video game could be, or what study would be behind. There are several internal development teams working on proposals not yet submitted. For example, Naughty Dog is already recruiting staff for a secret project according to the information of another insider, Daniel R, usual source of superhero movies. But everything seems to indicate that this type of productions would go away for the next generation.

Now GPU-Z will Warn us if a Graphics Card is Faked

October 16, 2018 By Muntazir Mehdi Leave a Comment

Version 2.12.0 also offers advanced support for Turing.

Counterfeit graphics cards have been roaming around pages like eBay for a while. Normally it is low-end cards of past generations, such as the GTX 400, which are flashed with retouched BIOS so that when mounting the card in the computer, it recognizes it as a more current model, such as a GTX 1050 Ti, for example. In this way, scammers manage to sell the cards to unsuspecting buyers who can not read between the lines. There are few chips in which it is possible to make this flash, eye. Already only in the case of Nvidia, the list of them is florid: G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, GT215, GT216, GT218, GF108, GF106, GF114, GF116, GF119, and GK106.

The TechPowerUp portal has announced the new version of its graphics card analysis and monitoring utility, GPU-Z, that will now warn us when a graphics card is not what it seems. When that happens, the program will show us a beautiful warning sign. As you can see in the capture above this paragraph, the false name is a GTX 1050 Ti, but-chance-is not such a thing, but possibly a GTX 500. Besides, this update offers the possibility of saving the BIOS to the Turing graphics; new monitoring features, also for those graphics; and energy use statistics. You can download the utility on the official page.

Sony Recruits Staff to work on PS5 Marketing

October 16, 2018 By Muntazir Mehdi Leave a Comment

They find a job offer that mentions the next console.

There are only a few weeks until Xbox One and PS4 are five years old in stores, but while we look back, Microsoft and Sony are already looking forward: from the Reseteraforums, they report on a new job offer from Sony where they are looking for a ” senior product manager “for” the [development and advertising] campaign of the next generation of PlayStation.”

What is perhaps even more interesting is that this offer was issued on Linkedin just one day after a Sony executive said that ” new generation ” hardware is needed. Although Sony has not directly mentioned PS5 recently, it seems an open secret that at this point the company is preparing to present it to the public.

The question that remains in the air is, “when will we see the PS5 ad ?” We know that this year there will be no PlayStation Experience, so E3 2019 could perhaps be the right place to talk about it. Of course, all we can do until then is to be alert to possible clues.
