AMD Releases Preview Driver for FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames

AMD late Thursday released the latest version of the Special Preview Driver that lets you experience FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames (version: 23.30.01.03), the AMD technology designed to rival NVIDIA's DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The driver is off-branch, and works with Radeon RX 6000 series, and RX 7000 series; but Fluid Motion Frames (FMF) technology is designed to be as cross-platform as FSR 2. For now, FMF is designed to work with DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 applications, on Radeon RX 7000 RDNA3 and RX 6000 RDNA2 GPUs. The November 9th update improves stability with task-switching between an application that has FMF enabled, and one that doesn't; and a number of intermittent driver crashes and bugs with the display of metrics.

ZALMAN Intros CNPS13X Black CPU Cooler

ZALMAN today introduced the CNPS13X Black tower-type CPU cooler. The company has a long line of side-flow tower type coolers, but this among the first with an illuminated and stylized top-plate as is contemporary. The cooler features a typical aluminium fin-stack tower type heatsink that's offset a little to its left side, to reduce intrusion of the fan into the motherboard's memory area. A nickel-plated copper base makes contact with the processor, from which five 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes pass through, conveying heat to the aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 120 mm ZALMAN AF120 fan.

The base features a reverse direct-touch heat pipe arrangement that reduces the space between the heat-source and the heatpipes, improving conductivity. The included fan features a hydraulic bearing that's rated for 40,000 hours, and features a webbed impeller that guides all of its airflow axially. It takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 69.12 CFM of airflow, with 2.01 mm H₂O static pressure, and a maximum noise output of 29.7 dBA. The top plate takes in 3-pin addressable RGB input. The ZALMAN CNPS13X Black is designed for a thermal load of 240 W. The cooler measures 135 mm x 79 mm x 159 mm (WxDxH), weighing 810 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Setup Postfix as a Send-Only External SMTP Relay


Self-hosting a mail server can be a great learning experience. I recently set up an email server using Docker Mail-Server and I ran into an issue with outgoing mail where my public IP was on a policy blocklist. This caused almost all of my outgoing emails to be blocked. If you are faced with this problem, there are two directions you can go. You can sign up for an SMTP service, some are even free up to a certain number of emails, or you can run a postfix relay in a VPS. I like to have control of the underlying infrastructure, so I went with the latter. This guide will walk you through how to configure the Postfix relay server on the VPS so that it only accepts mail from your mail server's IP or from a server with a certificate that matches your mail server's hostname.

Steam Deck Works with Solidigm's 61.44 TB Enterprise SSD

With a simple mod, Storage Review got a Valve Steam Deck handheld gaming console to work with the world's highest capacity SSD, the mammoth 61.44 TB variant of the Solidigm D5-P5336. At its core, the Steam Deck is a highly compacted x86-64 PC powered by an AMD Ryzen mobile processor that features an industry standard PCIe interface, which it uses for an onboard M.2-2230 NVMe SSD. Storage Review used a simple adapter that converts M.2 to U.2—the interface of the D5-P5336—and the Steam Deck just worked.

Out of the box, the Steam Deck uses Valve's SteamOS, although it's fairly straightforward to install Windows, and get the Steam application to present its user interface (with which you can play just about any Windows PC game that's not yet available on SteamOS). A quick benchmark with KDiskMark (the Linux analog of CDM) sees the D5-P5336 post sequential read speeds of 3.6 GB/s, with 2.8 GB/s sequential writes. There's a catch here, though. It's not practical to lug the D5-P5336 along with your Steam Deck, the Solidigm drive is designed for servers, and besides the U.2 connection, requires a power input that a U.2 enclosure can provide.

Super Mario RPG is out early on all the rom sites! Ive been playing it on steam deck and it runs pretty well with ryujinx. On yuzu it freezes at the start with a black screen. This was my very first RPG as a child and I was obsessed with this game. I even had a geocities website for it! Anyone else pumped for this remake??
