A good power supply is essential for a solid PC system. Ideally, you want something that is very efficient and also doesn’t create much noise, without being too expensive. A while ago Hardware.Info published an extensive round-up of 43 power supplies in the 500-700 watt range. At the time Be Quiet had not yet put the finishing touches on its new Dark Power Pro 10 product line, but now it’s finally time to see what Be Quiet has up its sleeve....

“I’d rather have the experience of playing in the NFL and die 10 to 15 years earlier than not play in the NFL and have a long life,” he said Monday during the Bears’ pregame radio show on WBBM. “I don’t really look toward my life after football. I’ll figure things out when I get there and see how I am. As long as I outlive my parents, then we’ll be all right....

Cutler was hurt in the first half against the Redskins, and the offense continued to move the ball well with backup Josh McCown. McCown, with decent mobility but limited arm strength compard to Cutler's rifle arm, has a much tougher task keeping Marc Trestman's passing game going at a high level against better, more complex defenses. That includes the next three opponents after a Week 8 bye: Green Bay, Detroit and Baltimore....

Chicago’s coaching staff last season danced around the fact that it didn’t believe in Trubisky as the team’s starting quarterback. Confirmation that the Bears wanted to give him competition came early in NFL free agency with rumors of their interest in Teddy Bridgewater and others. The Bears’ ultimate decision was to send a fourth-round compensatory pick to the Jaguars for Foles. Regardless of the terms of Foles’ restructured deal in Chicago, it’s a bad decision....

The boos were understandably louder when the Bears trotted off the field following their 17-16 loss. Kicker Eddie Pineiro missed a 41-yard field goal as time expired, giving Los Angeles its third victory of the season and dropping Chicago’s record below .500 to 3-4. As was the case at the end of the first half, the Bears’ play-calling — not the struggles of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky or even Pineiro’s miss — was the target as the social media world bashed Nagy and his team....

Fans of the dearly departed Fox prequel series Gotham are about to see a familiar little glimmer when The CW’s Batwoman launches into its 3rd season in October. Victoria Cartagena, who played Gotham City Police Department detective Renee Montoya in the Fox series, will get to have another crack at the character when she joins Batwoman as a series regular in its upcoming season. But it’s important to note that Batwoman’s Montoya will not be the same character as Gotham’s Montoya....

The Bundesliga contest at the Rhein-Neckar Arena is sold out, but Ulreich has offered Dennis Jax one of his complimentary tickets. Lewy urges Bayern to keep having fun The 17-year-old has blood cancer and has expressed a desire to see Bayern live on one more occasion in his lifetime, with his condition meaning he is unable to visit the Allianz Arena. Ulreich has helped to make that possible, with the 28-year-old saying he was only too happy to help once being made aware of the situation....

FC Bayern Munich have achieved their first-ever historic treble with a 3-2 cup victory against VfB Stuttgart at the Berlin Olympic Stadium tonight. Not all went according to plan for the Bavarians, who, like in the Champions League final last week, needed time to settle down, while Stuttgart were aggressive from the start and also had the better chances in the initial phase of the match. Maxim’s shot just missed the far post before Neuer was forced to make a double save....

Muller has been linked with Manchester United as it seems his former manager, Louis van Gaal, who gave him his first opportunity at Bayern is set to take over. David Moyes was sacked recently, leaving Ryan Giggs in caretaker charge of the club while they pursued a new manager – thought to be van Gaal. When prompted with the rumours that Muller could leave, Rummenigge could not deny them....

Part of that success has been down to some great managers – the likes of Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti – but a lot of it can also be credited to their excellent record in the transfer market. Bayern have brought some of the world’s best players to the Allianz Arena over the last decade, including some taken right from under the noses of their domestic rivals. In chronological order, here are Bayern Munich’s 10 greatest signings over the last decade (2010-2019)....

Defending champions Bayern come into the game having already won the German Super Cup after beating rivals Borussia Dortmund and Carlo Ancelotti will be keen for his players to hit the ground running with a home victory. Leverkusen, on the other hand, endured a disappointing campaign last term as they finished 12th in the league and their fans will be demanding a better showing from new coach Heiko Herrlich, who took the reins earlier this summer....

The Colombia international has started five Bundesliga games and was an unused substitute for Saturday’s 3-2 Klassiker defeat away to Borussia Dortmund. That loss left the champions seven points behind their rivals and news of James’ injury deals a further blow to under-pressure head coach Niko Kovac. Bayern confirmed on Wednesday that James has sustained a partial lateral collateral ligament tear in his left knee in training on Tuesday, an injury that will keep him out for several weeks....

Bayern visits Borussia Dortmund on Saturday for the German “Klassiker” — a highlight for Bundesliga fans at the start of the season. Few believed then, however, that Bayern would be four points behind and struggling after 10 matches. “We’re not going as favorites to Dortmund, but as outsiders - for the first time in a long time,” Hoeness said after Bayern’s 2-0 win over AEK Athens in the Champions League on Wednesday....

Midfielder Javi Martinez, who excelled in the 0-0 draw at Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday, completed a fine week by scoring the winner midway through the second half. Bayern, which trailed by nine points at one stage, stayed second due to Dortmund’s better goal difference. Dortmund can restore its three-point lead at home to Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday, but captain Marco Reus is out injured. The leader has failed to win in three league games while Leverkusen is on a four-game winning run....

Storm defeated Zelina Vega on her official main roster debut on the July 23 episode of WWE SmackDown. On this week’s episode, she declined Dolph Ziggler’s invitation to watch his match against Rick Boogs from ringside.

Storm has been one of WWE’s most promising up-and-coming superstars for several years....

Track all games on Sporting News’ college football scoreboard . 1. Big 12, big deal So Bill Hancock, executive director of the College Football Playoff, dropped this interesting tidbit to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Dave Matter: “Baylor’s body of work will change drastically on Saturday.” Before we go any further, understand this: Hancock doesn’t vote in the poll, but he’s in the room not only during the voting process but also during conversations about the teams from the committee members....

Match 4: Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes Earlier in the day, Brad Haddin got the Sixers off to an absolute flyer smashing 75 runs of merely 45 deliveries. Jordan Silk provided the finishing touches scoring a quick-fire 40 as the Sixers ended up with 186 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in their 20 overs. For the Hurricanes, Cameron Boyce stood out with figures of 4-0-25-2 ably supported by Dan Christian who gave away 24 runs in his 4 overs....

The Hurricanes won the toss and elected to have a go with the bat first and riding on Tim Paine’s swashbuckling innings of a 58-ball 87 posted a total of 184 runs. The innings did not start particularly well for them as Peter Forrest caught Ben Dunk short of the crease in the third over of the innings with 22 runs on the board. Sri Lankan talisman Kumar Sangakkara then walked out to steady the ship for Hurricanes as he added 77 runs with Paine in 51 balls....
