Does anyone know a way to connect PCIe 6-pin cables to mini 6-pin cables for a Mac Pro 5,1?
To give some context….I have a mac Pro5,1 and I am hoping to make it have some kind of RGB glowiness inside. I'm hoping that there happen to be PCIe 2.0 mini 6-pin to 6-pin cables that are also RGB…OR if there are adapters that don't have a ton of wiring so that I can make this happen. OOOORRRRRRR, am I at the point where…

Wire too tight
Bought a prebuilt from microcenter and the wire connected to the graphics card is too tight. When I push the clip, there's no room to wiggle it to come out. Along with trying to unclip it from the motherboard. I need to do this so I can add storage. Will microcenter repair this, since it's their mistake?

Micro Center should carry the Sparkle Intel Arc A310 ECO
The Sparkle Intel Arc A310 ECO graphics card is unique in that it is, as far as I'm aware, the only low profile and single slot GPU capable of AV1 encoding and decoding. At least when excluding workstation GPUs. Additionally, it's powered via the PCIE slot, so no separate power connector needed. Model: SA310C-4G

My PC keeps turning off when playing high graphical games, how do I fix this?
Last year, I bought a new RTX 3060 as a graduation gift to myself. However, my PC would shut off whenever I played high-graphical games such as Cyberpunk. I suspected that my power supply unit (PSU) couldn't handle the power draw required by the GPU. To verify that it wasn't an issue with the new GPU, I ran FurMark ROG to…

Why are GPUs so expensive?
CPUs are way cheaper than GPUs, but CPUs have a much harder task. CPUs work a lot harder, have more difficult tasks, are what runs your PC and yet they cost significantly less. Why is this?

Potentially Concerning 7900xtx Temps
I just recently put together a new system with a 7900xtx and it has been working great so far. The only problem that I have had with it so far is that the highest sensor read 107-108 degrees C today while under full load (I have plenty of airflow in the case.) To be fair this was a full ray traced load and it is a factory…
