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.
Overclocking supported on specialized mainstream motherboards from ASUS including the new Prime X299 Edition 30 being shown at Computex.
Hardware Asylum is once again at the forefront of hardware this time showing of their extreme overclocking skills with Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) at the Boise LAN Party and at a local tech conference called Hackfort.
At CES 2019 HyperX had several great products on display and two really caught our attention. The first was the HyperX Quadcast desktop gaming microphone with plenty of high-quality features to take on Blue and Razor.
ZOTAC was showing their ArcticStorm waterblock design at CES 2019 and it looks amazing. The block is a custom design unit with plenty of clear acrylic for viewing the coolant and RGB lighting effects.
The MSI Lightning is back, this time with a RTX 2080 Ti GPU and OLED screen across the top. Sadly there is a good chance this might be the only version any of us ever see.
For years Aorus (Gigabyte) has been one of my favorite destinations during trade shows and while at Computex they launched their line of gaming memory modules this year they cranked things up and have one of the best monitor implementations I have ever seen.
