Asus denies reports of quick-release GPU damage, but offers support for affected users
Scratched and chipped gold fingers are just a little wear and tear, company says.
Asus Q-Release Slim motherboard mechanism may be damaging graphics card's PCIe connectors
GPU gold fingers can get caught in Q-Release Slim PCIe slots, causing chipping
PSA: Asus and other PC hardware vendors have spent the last few years exploring ways to make installing and removing motherboard components easier and safer. Asus' latest method aims to eliminate release buttons and latches from PCIe slots, but recent reports indicate that the procedure risks chipping the gold fingers.
PCIe 7.0 spec nearing completion, promising 16GB/s per lane bandwidth
Doubling bandwidth to meet the demands of AI and machine learning

Fast PCIe 5.0 SSDs that won't require active cooling
In context: Up until now, the only PCIe 5.0 SSDs on the market have been powered by the Phison E26 controller. They're certainly fast, with sequential speeds of over 12GB/s, but they also run incredibly hot and are power-hungry. We're talking active cooling requirements and over 11W of power draw under load, which is not exactly ideal for rigs.
