Newfound variant of HIV progresses to AIDS faster and may be more transmissible

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics

Available treatments work equally well against the variant.


A newfound variant of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has been uncovered in the Netherlands and appears to cause faster disease progression compared with other versions of the virus.

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects and destroys immune cells called CD4 cells in the body, causing the number of these cells to plummet. If left untreated, the infection then progresses to AIDS. In people infected with the newfound HIV variant, called the VB variant, the CD4 counts fall at about twice the rate as those of people infected with closely related HIV strains, meaning those of the same genetic subtype (B).

ASUS quietly changes ROG Thor II PSU PCIe Gen5 cable specs from 600W to 450W

Posted by in category: computing

ASUS Thor PSU won’t supply 600W of power through PCIe Gen5 connector ASUS’s first PCIe Gen5 power supplies won’t be 100% compliant with the new standard.


Earlier this week it was discovered that the ASUS 12-pin cable which is supposedly the Gen5 Ready, is actually the same cable that NVIDIA ships for its GeForce RTX 30 Founders Edition graphics cards. However, there is a small twist to this story.

It appears that we might finally know the difference between the PCIe Gen5 12-pin power cable and the 12+4-pin version. The latter is the full spec cable offering 12 pins alongside special 4 data signal paths. Those data pins are required to be fully compliant with the PCI-SIG’s “12VHPWR High Power Connector (H+)” standard, the supposed new high-power connector for next-gen GPUs.
