A Short Story About My New Build…
After getting my new GPU, I was playing a few games and noticed that the GPU temps were over 80 degrees Celsius… very bad. I thought that I just didn’t have a case that had really good airflow… so, a new case I needed and that’s all I was going to get (forshadowing: it wasn’t)….
Review: MSi GF65 10UE-213 (2021) in 2023
Introduction This laptop was released in June of 2021. As of now, it’s almost 2 full years old. This is a review that if you were to find one used… is it good? The short answer is yes, but mainly for gaming. The GPU can game reasonably at 1080p at medium to high settings without…

PC Upgrades
Case I decided that I wanted to get the first case that I really wanted and should have bought when I did my build initially. I said then that if I were to ever build a PC, that this is the case. Just something classy looking about this case and I have finally been able…
Living with the AMD RX570 in 2020
I admit that I am a sucker for video card reviews and might be somewhat jealous from time to time, but I am not a high frame-rate snob and a budget gamer at that: so these seem to be a good match. I thought I’d go over the numbers from my personal gaming system with…
