20 Programs to Analyze and Benchmark Your Hardware
The visuals are nice to watch (some parts of it are pushing 6 million triangles per frame, with 30 active light sources), while the test is running, and like 3DMark, you can set it to render the graphics at a resolution higher than the output monitor's -- it uses a very quick shader routine to scale back down, to fit onto the screen. So if you want to give your GPU a decent...

  • CaseLabs S8 Build - “Brutus” - Many months of passive ordering and building on the weekends.
    I started conversing with the author of SIV on the Corsair forum many years ago. We still chat on occasion, usually when he adds a new feature he wants to test on various systems. When I got into Aquacomputer devices, I helped him add support for them. The code is way over my head but I can try the beta versions and report what works and what doesn't until he nails it. If you are interested, you can find SIV at... Source: 11 months ago

    I got fed up with Corsair back in the Link days and have been using a program called SIV to control my Corsair PWM and RGB controllers for years. SIV (not Gigabyte's SIV) is a system monitoring program similar to HWINFO but more expansive. The author of SIV got fed up with Corsair's buggy software so he reverse-engineered their protocols and added support for many Corsair products to SIV. SIV is extremely... Source: about 1 year ago
  • There will be no success here... rip my sanity
    Icue doesn't "block" other applications. It just shoots out polling requests like a drunk soldier with a machine gun, with no regard for other polling requests. The annoying part of this is that the author of SIV was helping Corsair improve their code and showed them how to properly implement the polling mutex, which they did in the later versions of Corsair Link. When they rolled out Icue, they decided that the... Source: about 1 year ago
  • HP Zbook Studio G5
    I am not sure why it says `0x0000`, which implies that the ROM is not being read at all. This is the case regardless whether I pass in a ROM file or not. It might be worth noting that I had a lot of trouble extracting the ROM and managed to do this on a native Windows 11 install using System Information Viewer. Source: about 1 year ago
