A cornucopia of cool customization options
Building a gaming PC yourself means being able to customize it specifically for the games you want to play, whether you’re a casual player or a full-time streamer. But if you can’t build your own, where do you turn to get something completely custom? Origin’s all-new customizable Neuron is yet another option for gamers and streamers who don’t want to fuss with the consuming aspects of piecing a rig together.
The Neuron comes in many different configurations, including a CPU up to either an Intel Core i9-9900K or an AMD Ryzen 16-core Threadripper, and a GPU up to an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti. The unit we were sent is a little different from the one in the photos; it’s red, and sans RGB lighting, but it’s got a great list of components that include an overclocked eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (4.3GHz Turbo Boost), and an overclocked 8GB RTX 2080 Founders Edition.
In terms of customization, Origin offers HD UV glass printing and laser etching. You can send Origin your favorite game art, and voila—the tempered glass now has an image that speaks to your gaming personality. The rounded edges on the front of the case look a little dated compared to the clean, sharp lines of other chassis on the market, but if case aesthetics are a long way down your must-have list, it’s not a deal-breaker.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
