hi uh I'm here to what am I doing host
Tech link got it and I guess that means we're going to be talking about what's
the first topic it's Tech news we're talking about tech
news sounds good it was Elijah week on
Floatplane I had to host this as well go check it out it was yeah it's this
week right now it's happening yeah Intel has released a new micr code update that
has angered some users hoping to squeeze a little bit of extra performance out of
the company's latest aerol Lake desktop processors which were designed to
explicitly prioritize efficiency over raw power apparently the environment is
more important than gaming at 300 FPS we're going to agree to disagree the
update removes the ability for most motherboards to bypass AOL Lake's
digital linear voltage regulator or dlvr
a feature that can lower power consumption under certain workloads but
can also lead to Performance bottlenecks in a more demanding situation and
especially when the CPU is at full load the feature was added to Raptor Lake but
was locked off by Intel a lake has it enabled and overclockers had been using
a bypass called powergate mode in the bias but the new update only allows you
to do it if your motherboard has an extreme OC mode Intel says this is to
prevent accidental misuse and ensure that it can only be used in extreme
overclocking scenarios with subambient cooling such as liquid nitrogen because
breaking overclock records is worth destroying the environment who needs
trees ah I just need higher FPS in other
H Intel news the company is incorporating 3D cache AMD's version of
which is the secret sauce behind the x3d series chips but so far team blue is
only adding it to their nextg Clear Water Forest line of Zeon processors
with no plans to do the same for their mainstream CPUs according to Intel's
flori and minger in an interview with derau and Ben's Hardware they just don't
really see the point they're just chilling Intel's fine why why don't
break what's not broken oh they do need to fix some stuff though they got coffee
again o two reports have emerged of
ryzen 7 9800x 3D processors with burn
damage after being used in an MSI mag
x870 Tom Hawk Wi-Fi motherboard one was posted in the Korean language Quasar
Zone forum and the other was in the PC Master race subreddit by the username
Trump poo Poo's pants TechLink doesn't hold any position related to this that's
just their name just be clear we didn't purposely pick it move on move on MSI
has already responded to the reports saying they're investigating along side
AMD and interestingly YouTube channel Gamers Nexus which has a real uh you
know turning yourself in kind of vibe but maybe MSI doesn't have to be too
worried some early analysis points to the burnout potentially being caused by
user error the owners in question may have misaligned their CPU before locking
it in or they may have read online that warming it up on a waffle iron before
installing it actually helps with Ray tracing we've all been there okay we've
all been there I mean understand my bad okay we've also all likely had at least

what's next Story the quick bits it's a
oh what the quick bits okay it's kind of weird but sure a thin and light gaming
laptop with an upgradeable GPU has been listed at a Chinese retailer it's called
the Juan 16 and it's either made by a company called firebat or Tong Fang PC
or Naruto which I think is my favorite as long as we're you know taking
suggestions the laptop appears to have a pretty cool internal design with a ryzen
7 88 45h main board and a separate RTX
4060 GPU module that can be swapped out
for another one that also uses the GX 2.0 modular system now just make some of
the other laptop components modular as well this could have been the one some
great news for game historians goog has announced a new preservation program
which will see the DRM free platform commit its own resources to keeping
older games compatible with modern systems they're starting with a list of
a 100 classic games which will only grow as Gamers immediately start arguing
about what's a classic and what's not two games that aren't Up For Debate in
that sense are the 1998's unreal and 2000s Unreal Tournament Game of the Year
Edition which are now being hosted on internet archive for free with epic
games explicit blessing no need to toast your CPU for more ra tracing the games
don't have it it won't work trust me we tried we've all been there keep your eye
out for fake websites posing as online stores according to threat research firm
eclectic IQ a scammer group going by
Silk Spectre is apparently creating thousands of fraudulent websites to
impersonate the real websites of Brands like Northface Ikea and Wayfair so be
wary cuz some of the domain names for these sites often include the words
Black Friday the upcoming holiday celebrating the cheris North American
