We've come a long way with liquid coolers. The first generation was known for being loud and at risk of causing a puddle in your PC. While the latter is a slightly unfair reading of the upcoming tech at the time—a leak was uncommon and my ancient Corsair H100i is still going strong—the first part isn't.

Not so,...
With AI being on the lips of almost every CEO, it makes some sort of poetic sense that the lips of every CEO may soon be AI. In a recent earnings call, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan, used his AI avatar to address those tuned in. The avatar replaced the usual camera footage of Yuan talking to a webcam, with a slightly surreal generated video of, well exactly that. The result...
MSI's first AMD chipset MPOWER motherboard, the B850MPOWER, is also set to be a first in a new design for MSI boards. Instead of the usual prickly solder points on the back of a board, MSI has rolled out a new flat design.
