With a recent performance leak showing that the Intel Core i9 10900k 10-Core processor is faster than the 12-Core Ryzen 9 3900k we decided to discuss one of the biggest drawbacks of large multicore CPUs and how their power is only noticeable in certain situations
Discrete audio cards are often overlooked when building a PC and yet they are one of the best ways to get better performance and better audio quality, the Creative Labs AE-9 is one of the best. Speaking of best we cannot ignore the X299X Waterforce Xtreme from Aorus (Gigabyte)
This is part two of the Hardware Asylum CES 2020 coverage. Every January Dennis spends some time in the desert checking out the latest tech, make new contacts and keep up with old friends. Unlike the last episode this one isn’t completely filled with good stuff.
Every January Dennis spends some time in the desert checking out the latest tech at the annual Consumer Electronics Show, mostly to make new contacts, keep up with old friends and find out what new might be coming to the Hardware Asylum Labs. This episode is filled with the good stuff.
In this episode we dive into the latest memory overclocking world record set using the new Ryzen and Ballistix Elite DDR4 4000 and later spend some time looking at the real cost associated with building a Threadripper 3 system.
For the longest time Dennis was avoiding anything Threadripper. On paper the processor looked amazing, lots of threads and lots of power however, when it came down to it there was only a small number of instances where Threadripper shined. Despite this there is a HUGE Hype around the new 3900X Threadripper series and we investigate.
When new technology comes along there is always a land rush to be first to support it and how fast that adoption takes often determines if it is successful or just another failed experiment. NVidia has been pushing their RTX RayTracing technology hard and it is starting to show up in many modern AAA game titles including Call of Duty Modern Warfare (the 2019 edition)
Overclocking has been around for a long time starting with some of the oldest processors and crafty engineers who would tinker with jumper settings. Since then Overclocking has become more refined and divided up into distinctly different styles.
In this episode the duo discuss the possibility that there might be a hardware illuminati controlling the major motherboard makers driving them to create similar products and messages every year.
In this episode Dennis and Darren finally attend PAX West and are once again confronted with the trials and tribulations of the trade show life learning about how to get the most from PAX. Bottom line the show was great but could be better after using learning these secret tips.

Hardware Asylum Podcast - In this episode we take an indepth look at the new RTX 2080 Super. This is the new high-end RTX replacing the 2080 and while faster than a Titan Xp, is still slower than the Ti. Btw. where is the Ti. oh ya its... Super.
In this episode the Core X31 mod is going under the knife due to a rather unique hardware failure that eventually cascaded into a new motherboard, second video card and whole new water loop. Everything was going well until our ebay GTX 1070 Seahawk started leaking.
We are still celebrating our 100th episode and in this Podcast Extra we are talking about Borderlands 3 and if it is worth pre-ordering the game and if so how much will you spend.

In this episode we talk about the super busy month of March where our time was split between the Boise LAN 9.0 and Hackfort. These are local tech events in Boise Idaho that Hardware Asylum has participated in and put on a really cool LN2 overclocking demonstration.
In this episode the duo go into depth on what makes a great gaming PC that is not only budget friendly but offers excellent value and will last for a very long time. Of course gaming means different things to different people and it is important to know and recognize the differences.
In this episode Dennis talks about his recent watercooling “opps” which turns into an informative session on building your own water loop, picking parts and if custom watercooling is worth it from performance and cost.
In this episode we talk about something Dennis calls the CES Sideshow and how we may attend CES but may never really see it. Later we look at one of the exciting new high-end motherboards from Aorus called the Z390 Extreme Waterforce with a full coverage waterblock.
In this episode the duo are back from CES 2019 and will be giving a quick rundown on what they saw from Drone Sharks to ultra halo workstation class gaming motherboards
While other sites might be starting their year in reviews we have decided to look to the future and what CES 2019 might hold. Of course, there will likely be new motherboards, new AIOs and maybe even a few NVIDIA RTX video cards but that is easy to predict. For this episode we are reaching deep and looking at what could happen.
In this podcast we are once again talking 20-Series and RTX starting with the RTX 2080 AMP Extreme from ZOTAC followed by some NVIDIA (NVDA) gaming history and some looks into the future where there isn’t an excess of overpriced 10-Series and missed sales figures.
