Lol Heat death of the sun bud. What do you even need it for? Intel 13900KS: 8p/16e/32t @3.2/2.4GHz Base - 6.0/5.8/5.4/4.3GHz Boost 32/36MB L2/L3 Cache 16/4 PCIe 5.0/4.0 192GB Dual Channel DDR5-5600 13980HX: 8p/16e/32t @2.2/1.6GHz Base - 5.6/5.5/4.0GHz Boost 36MB Smart Cache 16/4 PCIe...

Soooo why don't you just pickup a NUC? the quad core Pentiums have plenty of performance for her needs and SSDs have never been cheaper. Moms LOVE tiny PCs and do not care if they lost a tiny amount of performance per dollar that they were never going to notice anyway. If you're worried about...

Nice! Had not previously heard of the QNAP NIC/M.2 Card. Too bad it doesn't appear to be supported by Synology. Their lack of a NAS that supports NVMe caching AND 10Gbit is a pretty gaping hole in their lineup. That said, obviously a single PCIe x4 slot can't handle that much simultaneous...

huntk So what's the word on the mATX M1? I saw the imgr posts, but no build log. How'd it go? Did I read correctly that you mounted the PSU directly to the frame with one screw? What did you end up doing with the extra PCIe lanes?

Yeah, it wasn't actually made available until about the 2nd week January. Right after my post. I was one of the first people I saw to order it on Jan 7. It's been working great in my Cerberus X. Pretty quiet. Cables could be a tiny bit longer though. The Cerberus X is obviously a larger...

Oh yeah, let me tell you all about my plans of slapping an 18-core, $2K CPU into a single PCIe slot motherboard and mounting a heatsink the size of a basketball to it! Joking, but honestly, I think that Intel's crumbling usefulness in the HEDT realm will end up killing it or forcing them to...

Well I need it. FYI, Corsair is apparently releasing a 750W SFX unit that will support dual EPS sometime soon, probably announced around CES. Although depending on timing, I may skip the SFX PSU altogether and just buy the HDPLEX 400W HiFi DC-ATX and 400W AC-DC kit. HDPLEX is perfectly willing...

Not sure which calculators you've been using, but I'm a big fan of the eXtreme Outer Vision Power Supply Calculator: https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator Very granular. Allows for overclocked CPU/GPU power estimations. Otherwise, seems like a pretty awesome system if you've got the...

Yeah because Freesync is so relevant with AMD putting out such garbage low performance/high wattage GPU's and selling all of 5 of them to reviewers before the rest of their stock goes to miners. Maybe one day, long after Vega is a bad memory, AMD will be able to compete in the high perf GPU...

I assume you're talking about the one in Fairfax? I saw the 38" on display there awhile back. Looks nice, and if I gamed more than I needed screen real estate I might be tempted, but as long as I can pickup 39-43" 60Hz displays for around $300, I don't see the need to drop over a grand on a...

Do what I did when I was considering my first 40ish" 4K display. Pull the physical dimensions of the display and cut out a cardboard box to match the height/width. Set it up on your desk and sit in front of it. I'm on my 3rd...

They needed ghost guns for sanctioned assassinations?

What incompetent dick heads. Take it as a hint that you're in a dead end career field and get busy retraining. Fully backs my primary issue with anyone in accounting or HR though, they took that job because they weren't qualified to do anything else.

Honestly, I'm amazed at the relatively low tablet loss. As for your servers, I've got a Skull Canyon NUC that I'm thinking about trying out as an ESXi server for the house, maybe they are doing something like that? It's about the size of a notepad...

I am almost positive that 20% is an overly conservative number. For general quality of life improvement. I can't speak to the battery life improvement as I have been begrudgingly running the Facebook Lite app pretty much since ver. 1.0.
