Why buy the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X?

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is equipped with 12 Cores with 24 Threads, a max clock speed of 5.6GHz (compared to 5GHz), and 12MB L2 plus 64MB L3 cache memory. With these specs, this CPU will ensure that your PC will have zero issues powering through heavy-duty productivity tasks like being knee-deep in video editing, creating massive spreadsheets, streaming video calls, opening dozens of web browser tabs, and more. It's also fairly capable of putting out great performance rates for PC gaming. According to our colleagues at Tom's Hardware, when they reviewed the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, this CPU, paired wit

How much does the Maingear MG-1 MK.II cost?

The new Maingear MG-1 MK.II starts at $2,249 for a pre-configured model with Intel Core Ultra 5 225F CPU, NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti GPU (8GB), 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. There are 10 different pre-configs available at the time of writing, pushing all the way up to $7,199 for a model with AMD Ryzen 9 950X3D2 Dual Edition CPU, NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 4TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Of course, a significant chunk of that cost goes into RAM. If you'd like to save $300 compared to the cheapest 2x16GB kit Maingear offers, you can send in your own memory. Maingear wil

Its Founders Edition RTX 5090 GPU and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D speak for themselves. Maingear isn't using proprietary or OEM performance hardware, so don't expect any surprises. However, I did test cooling and airflow. Internal temperatures at the motherboard sensor when the system is idle sit at about 34 degrees C. That's
