Recently did a long overdue upgrade to my ITX build and these become available. All have been working stably and reliably for the past 6 years. Never overclocked until October this year all for the curiosity on the capability of 2500k. Went into BIOS and used 30% quick setting to turn it...
Thanks for the first hand experience folks. I almost shelled out some cash for an NVMe upgrade to replace my perfectly fine SSD OS drive. Now I saved some money. Damn these BF deals.
My custom Silverstone 650W has been running well 7 or 8 years now. I am inclined to make it a planned obsolescence, because the fan seems to run louder or it might just be my psychology, and upgrade to something 750W modular. The only issue is it takes a little effort to find ITX compatibility.
Another reason I prefer flashing a whole factory image over OTA is that I found every time after a flash, even without data wipe, the phone feels snappier with minor bugs ironed out here and there. So when I feel lazy, I don't upgrade at all, while in some other months when I have an hour of...
I had to have root for a gesture app that enables me to swipe on the edge to turn off the screen among others. For update I just use flash-all removing "-w" and re-root afterwards. Hey we're on Hardforum, we shouldn't feel bothered by using PC to support mobile devices right? :sneaky:
I'm using Pixel 2 on Fi with eSIM and the SIM card from a foreign carrier. It's only dual sim but not dual standby, so I have to switch back n forth between the SIMs.
My heatsink is center mounted on CPU and rotate a little even when the screws are fully tightened. Guess it saves me some hassle when removing the heatsink -- just twist it a little and make sure it's not "glued" to the CPU :ROFLMAO:
I think you're good. I'm running the old old AXP 140 on a 9700k in my ITX case, a 180mm intake fan and a 140mm heatsink fan. The CPU stays at 30C idle and never passes 60C in game. OC is not tested yet.
BTW for any potential owners, get Google device from Google Store if you can or if there is not much of a price difference. Unlike Apple, Google only provides good(?) support to the devices ordered directly from Google store. This has saved me a lot of hassles in the past. Enjoyed much easier...
