 The Acer Predator Orion 3000 is one of the few reliable and affordable pre-built desktops available to PC gamers worldwide.

The RTX 3060Ti, 16GB of memory, and SSD storage are all features of this $2800 desktop's 11th Gen Intel processor..The older CPU may be a bottleneck for some spec freaks, but it was never a problem for me.

Compared to the Orion 5000 and 7000, the Orion 3000 is smaller. Despite lacking an RTX 3080 or water cooling, the Orion 3000 is a fantastic work and play computer. We must keep in mind the high price of graphics cards. 

Our review unit still features the angular, outdated design. It stands out to me and I think it looks fantastic. This design was a two-year upgrade. It is  pretty compact. It's 175mm wide, 386mm deep, and 392mm tall and fits on my desk with an ultrawide monitor and printer without crowding.

The case has several practical improvements and is built for better ventilation. The front I/O and a retractable headphone stand are revealed when two concealed panels are opened. It was good, however the ports shouldn't be hidden. Additional ports for permanent components are located at the back. I appreciate that the Orion 3000 has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi built in.

The front RGB fan of the Orion 3000 takes in cool air while releasing heated air because it is air-cooled. Acer used the OEM Intel cooling, which is substandard. There are coolers that look and function better. Despite my nitpicking, the CPU and GPU remained cool throughout extended gaming sessions. Except when in Turbo mode, the combination operates without a hitch. Surprisingly, the Orion 3000 was quieter than the Alienware Aurora R14.

I was amazed by the RGB lighting zones on the Orion 3000. The front of the case houses the triangle power button, side LED strips, and front fan. The back fan and RGB strip allow for case lighting customization with Acer Predator.

The Orion 3000 performs admirably on productivity test results. One of my highest PCMark10 scores is 6712 points. I've tried a few other gaming PCs, but Cinebench 8135 was slower.

At its highest settings, the Orion 3000 offers lag-free 1080p 60 fps gaming. For 1440p/60fps gaming, the RTX 3060Ti GPU is excellent. The Orion didn't flinch between games on my Ultra-wide Prism+ X340Q. Using ray-tracing, Guardians of the Galaxy ran in 1440p, 21:9, and 60 frames per second. The Orion 3000 functioned without a hitch.

.Verdict

The Acer Predator Orion 3000 would remain in my setup. It satisfies my needs and is simple, lovely, and calm. Although you can add those components yourself, it could use a better CPU cooler and stronger case fans. not after having spent $2800. Similar systems on Mwave or Umart are more expensive.

With a redesigned casing and Intel 12th Gen processors, Acer will upgrade the Orion 3000, which should improve performance. This machine is exactly what it says it is, so you won't be disappointed.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

-
 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
