Gamers are actively moving to Windows 11, and the most popular graphics card is still the GeForce GTX 1060. Steam statistics for January published
The Steam service has published statistics on gaming equipment for January. The most popular graphics card among gamers is still the GeForce GTX 1060, but over the month its position has staggered a little – minus 0.4 percent. And the GeForce GTX 1650, which is in second place, added almost the same 0.4 percent. In third place is the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with a very small plus.
If we consider the top 10, then it has one representative of the Ampere line – the GeForce RTX 3060. However, this is not a discrete graphics card, but a mobile 3D accelerator.
A typical January gaming PC runs Windows 10, has a 2.3-2.7GHz quad-core CPU, 16GB of RAM, and the aforementioned GeForce GTX 1060. It’s connected to a 1920 x 1080-pixel monitor.
It should be noted that the share of Windows 10 on gaming computers is falling very quickly – in January this OS has minus almost 4%. At the same time, the share of Windows 11 grew by almost 3.5%. It is clear that gamers are actively exploring Windows 11: it is already installed on more than 13.5% of gaming computers connected to Steam.

A “completely silent” 1300W power supply. Cooler Master showed two new products, but only the youngest received a passive CO
Cooler Master brought power supplies to Computex that they claim are absolutely silent.
The younger model with a power of 750 W is really silent, because it simply does not have a fan. By the way, this is the company’s most powerful power supply with passive cooling.
There is also a 1300W PSU. It has a fan, but Cooler Master also calls it completely silent.
The secret to successfully cooling such powerful PSUs without too much noise lies in the use of an evaporation chamber. There are no other details yet, as well as no pricing data.

Intel Meteor Lake processors will not be released until the end of the year, but a couple can be bought now
Intel just showed the Meteor Lake processor in operation for the first time today, and today a copy of such a processor appeared on eBay.
The OneClickWarehouse seller, according to the platform, has sold more than 221,000 lots and has a rating of 99.6%, so there is no particular doubt that this is not a fake.
The seller says that this is a processor with six large cores, eight small ones and a GT2 iGPU. The photos, unfortunately, for some reason are of very poor quality, but still one of them shows that the CPU consists of chiplets, which Intel calls tiles.
The seller also indicates that he has two such processors, but nothing is said about their condition. However, these are mobile CPUs that will enter the market only at the end of the year, so there is not much difference anyway. The seller is asking $1,000 for the lot.

So that no more GeForce RTX 4090s catch fire. MSI simply and elegantly solved the problem of the 12VHPWR power connector
MSI seems to have solved the problem with the 12VHPWR connector. It was enough just to paint it.
The company did not show at Computex the most simple and equally effective solution. It lies in the fact that a certain part of the connector is painted yellow.
When the connector is connected correctly, the yellow part is completely hidden in the case, which is an excellent indicator that the connector is inserted correctly. If, after connecting, the user sees yellow plastic, then he will connect the connector incorrectly.
The idea of MSI is very easy to implement by any manufacturer, so perhaps in the near future this coloring may become a standard. Of course, recently there has not been a single case of fire on the RTX 4090 or any other Nvidia video card, or it simply has not been reported, but in such a situation it will not be superfluous to play it safe.
