More CPU smuggling fun, and apps that do it better than Epic Games Launcher ever did.

Well, colour me green and call me a tree hugger. We're currently hosting a giveaway for an eco-friendly, custom RTX 3080 gaming PC based on the Terra Nil game. I know, PCs are inherently not the most eco-conscious of household items, but just go with it. It has tiny mushrooms and moss, for crying out loud.

And while we're praising product design, I'm a bit taken aback as to how many editor's picks we've had over the past couple of weeks in our hardware reviews. Usually its "Oh, it's good, but a bit expensive for what it is," or the dreaded "It's... fine." But two editors picks in the past week alone has me pretty positive about gaming tech right now. For audiophiles especially, the week's sounding pretty darn sweet.

Sadly, that sweet sound is tarnished by a great loss in the industry.

Gordon Moore, who co-founded Intel with Robert Noyce in 1968, died Friday, March 24, 2023 at the age of 94. The death was reported by Moore's charitable foundation and Intel itself, which says that the scientist and former executive died peacefully while "surrounded by family at his home in Hawaii."

There are quite a few range of chairs on sale during Vertagear's Spring sale, with discounts up to $150. The sale includes both the P and S lines of chairs, as well as the new 800 series of ergonomic gaming thrones.

While you're going last-gen on the Intel CPU here, that's a rather beastly AMD GPU. It may not be a consistent RTX 4080 competitor, but it'll get the job done at 4K. Pair that with a nice chunk of storage and you've got yourself a pretty decent gaming PC for the price.

Here's an overclocked RTX 4070 Ti that's selling for $100 less than the original MSRP. This triple-fan OC card should be a solid upgrade from an RTX 3090 with better cooling and power efficiency. And it comes free a copy of the Last of Us Part 1!

The Epic Games Launcher isn't great at dealing with large game libraries. Images take a while to pop in, the library only loads when you scroll past a certain point, and it's difficult to spot which games are already installed and ready to play. It's even sluggish to respond to mouse movements sometimes. But it doesn't have to be this way, as the Heroic Games Launcher proves.

Newegg, one of our go-to online retailers for acquiring PC components, has decided to integrate ChatGPT into several of its online features. Not only has it gone into the company's customer service chatbot, and into optimising search, but we're now seeing ChatGPT being used as an official AI PC building tool.

There's an old adage that says if you're going to do some crime, then at least try to be smart about it. That way, even if you get caught you have a chance to come off as some sort of Ocean's Eleven heist genius, as opposed to this guy who tried to get through Chinese customs with 239 Intel Core processors obviously strapped to his person.
