There were two types of products discussed during Computex. The big one was AI and the insane builds required to run those workloads followed by CAMM2 memory modules. Just about every memory vendor had modules on display and just about every motherboard maker has boards to support them however, MSI was the only one sharing their vision.
When I established Ninjalane and later Hardware Asylum the goal was to feature high-end and hard to get computer hardware. Over the years this has served me well and allowed me the chance to deep dive into some of the best motherboard designs on the planet. However, that never made me rich which seems to be a trend with the products on display by Gigabyte during Computex
I remember when Cloud Computing was a popular subject at Computex there were cloud specific motherboards available from ASRock and the same was true during the Cryptomining craze. As a result it would seem out of character if ASRock was to skip AI and, you would be right.
SilverStone is hitting the Enterprise AI segment rather heavily during Computex 2024 with a number of new chassis designs to support multiple graphics cards which can be rack mounted in a data center or standalone as a private on-premise AI compute server.
Much like with CES there are a few companies that buck the trend and hold their presentations at alternative locations. Corsair was one of them opting to have a remote display showing off the latest in gaming gear, XLR audio interfaces, teleprompters, fans and keyboards.
This Vintage shipping fail is brought to you by why you should always pack items correctly. When I bought this PC the listing said it came with the original box. Which is not liberty to "ship" it in the original box.
For those of us wanting to mess around with old hardware it is important to check your hardware for issues including old barrel style batteries. I picked up this board on eBay and while the battery didn't explode or damage the board it had started to leak. With a soldering iron it is pretty easy to fix.
As a PC Hardware Enthusiast I can get excited at just about anything. Turns out my playing Quake 1 on a Pentium Pro sparked a "retro kick" that brought me to RE-PC in Seattle to get some hard to find parts.
One thing I love about doing computer hardware review is being able to test some of the latest and greatest computer hardware on the market and wouldn't you know it, some of that gear stuck around.
2020 could have been a better year for Hardware Asylum but, we still got to do some amazing things proving what makes this website different from everyone else and what will make Hardware Asylum better in 2021
A little over four years ago I did a review of the RL280 Radiator from Thermaltake. The rad had some amazing build quality and was one of the flagship products for their new TT Premium line of DIY watercooling gear and we are going to cut it up.
