With the Mooz, you can 3D print, carve, and engrave, too

Mooz: Industrial Grade Transformable Metallic 3D Printer
The 3D printers of 2017 aren’t just bringing your ideas to life in multiple dimensions — they’re engraving and carving those dimensions as well. Meet the

Mooz, a 3D printer that is not only fully modular, but can also operate as a CNC carver and laser engraver. Because everyone is expected to be a jack of all trades these days — even our machines.

Thanks to the easily constructible design of the Mooz, you can quickly vary the shape of the modular device, allowing you to adjust the speed and resolution capabilities of the printer. Depending on how Mooz is oriented, you can either go for cost-effectiveness in your printing, precision and stability, or speed and color-mixing. What is color-mixing, you ask? As the name suggests, this practice combines colors together to help you create an imaginative 3D printing, rather than the traditional monotoned models we’re more accustomed to.

Constructed with solid aluminum alloys, an all-metal hot end, and precision acme lead screws, this printer promises precision quality and consistent performance each and every time. And thanks to the printer’s straightforward software, you need simply to drag and drop your design into the interface, and Mooz will take care of the rest.

If you’re not interested in printing something, but need to leave your mark on an existing piece, you can turn to the machine’s CNC capabilities. With an adjustable depth of zero to five millimeters, you can carve artwork with precision and speed. The Mooz also comes with a laser engraving head. So whether you’re looking to print a logo or some text, you can use Mooz to engrave wood, corks, or even your food.
To take advantage of these two functionalities, simply swap out the 3D printing head for either the CNC carver or the laser engraver. With a month left in its campaign, the Mooz has already raised well over $100,000 from nearly 300 backers, a promising start for the Kickstarter project. If you’re interested in buying one of these combination 3D printers yourself, prices start at $239. If you’re interested in purchasing the complete set (with all the various functions), prices begin at $429.

This is how you can accidentally kill AMD’s best CPU for gaming
Someone holding the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in a red light.

It turns out that one of AMD's best gaming CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, can accidentally be killed if you try to overclock it, and it's all because there are no limitations as to how far you can push the processor.

Igor Wallossek of Igor's Lab found that the software used for overclocking and overvolting Ryzen CPUs currently doesn't impose any limits when you try to ramp up the voltage. And that's a recipe for turning a fun performance boost into an overclocking nightmare.

AMD is bringing 3D V-Cache back to Ryzen 7000 — but there’s a twist
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D socketed in a motherboard.

Great news for AMD fans -- the company has now officially confirmed that it will be bringing back 3D V-Cache in the upcoming Ryzen 7000 processors, as well as future Zen 5 CPUs.

Unfortunately, there is a catch -- it seems that the technology will still not be as widespread as some may have hoped for.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D beats predecessor, but AMD promised more
amd six new chips reveals ryzen 5800x3d price and release date slide

The upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D was just spotted in an early benchmark and compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X. The CPU managed to beat its predecessor by 9%, which is impressive, but not quite what AMD promised just yet.

AMD's initial estimates mentioned performance gains of about 15% in a gaming environment.
