    Anyone have a Beelink mini PC?

    Great information, thanks so much. Didn't realize the fan curve and TDP were configurable. That makes it more appealing. I'm just going to be using it for office work, productivity, some light graphics. I may be getting a 5K monitor at some point, but I think the IGP in the SER9 Pro should be...

    Anyone have a Beelink mini PC?

    Specifically a Beelink SER9 Pro ? I am thinking of getting one, but wondering about fan noise compared to a laptop. When I am just web browsing or playing youtube videos, my Lenovo laptop is dead silent. If I start opening a whole bunch of tabs, I can just barely hear the fans ramp up a bit...

    CPU contact frame worth it for Core Ultra 270K?

    Thanks. Looks like I'll get a contact frame then. Any difference between a Thermalright and a Thermal Grizzly? The Thermal Grizzly is about $40 more here in Canada.

    CPU contact frame worth it for Core Ultra 270K?

    Starting my very first build in a few weeks. I have an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K and an ASRock z890 Taichi mobo. I'm going with an AIO for cooling (haven't decided on one yet though). Just wondering if a CPU contact frame would help any with temps? Or is that a thing of the past, and only...

    QD-OLED V-Stripe, do these have the sharpest text?

    Been Googling around for the new QD-OLED with V-stripe pixels. However I seem to be getting a lot of AI hallucinations for monitors that are not V-stripe. Have they even been released yet? Does anyone have one? If so where do I find them? Are they noticeably better for text than...

    Which NVMe SSDs to choose for video editing?

    If I decide to use a single fast drive, would it be worth getting a gen5 over a gen 4?

    Which NVMe SSDs to choose for video editing?

    4K simple videos with not too many effects to start out. DaVinci Resolve. You're right, I may not need a separate cache drive to begin with. But who knows if SSDs are going to cost even more a year or two from now.

    Which NVMe SSDs to choose for video editing?

    Thanks. I presume you mean sequential read and write speeds?

    Which NVMe SSDs to choose for video editing?

    Building my first PC for video editing (complete beginner to video editing). I've decided on all my other components and started to buy some of them, but still fine tuning my choices for the appropriate SSDs. As I understand it, the basic internal SSD configuration for video editing would be...

    MSI Pre-built with Intel Core Ultra, CPU upgradable?

    Just wondering if this MSI PRO DP80 AI A2G-072CA would be upgradable? I'm thinking the chipset is socketed, but not sure. https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00135878

    Do AIOs have a shelf life if unopened?

    Thanks. It sounds like it should be ok. I'm reluctant to open it as I am also considering selling it. Easier to sell if it's unused and unopened. I still might end up using it though.

    Do AIOs have a shelf life if unopened?

    I have an EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 dark that I bought a couple of years ago. It is still unsealed in its original packaging. This model was released in January 2023, so I assume it's been in the box for around 3 years. Do AIOs have a shelf life, and could there be any permeation of the liquid...

    noctua enters the aio market

    It's definitely pricey, but not any more ridiculous than a TRYX Panorama

    Is Paralells stable enough to run Windows on Mac as a daily driver?

    Update: Decided to sell it. It was quick local sale. Made enough to buy probably an even much more powerful PC. I was tempted to keep the Mac Studio. However, I figured over the long run, it would work out to be less expensive to upgrade a PC over time. And I didn't particularly want to start...

    Is Paralells stable enough to run Windows on Mac as a daily driver?

    Do you run any office programs on Windows on Arm? That's what I'd be mainly using it for. Also, do you ever have any problems with Windows updates?
