I've been helping a friend on a budget look for a 1440 gaming card to pair with a 9600X CPU his current thoughts are 9070>5070>B580, though I suspect that the Intel card will be most likely to be available near MSRP.

This is actually nearly 300W lower total power consumption than the rig still in my signature. But that said, games these days let you limit your framerate, and my display is only capable of 120hz, so 120hz(@4k) with VSync in most games I play actually draws a much lower amount of power...

They aren't actually behind. The front 3 are all the way at the bottom of the chassis, and the back 3 are all the way at the top. There is a few cm of overlap, but the chassis itself has an air guide that separates the two. So far with all the overclock, 5.9Ghz CPU and 3Ghz GPU, and many stress...

Biggest remark at this point is that running all the memory possible at 6000 has been zero effort. Even after upping the fabric clock and taking the ratio to 1:1, still no issues.

Initial overclock complete. Will run stress tests for the next few days. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/131835136? https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/131835818?

I totally get that some people care about the looks, I just don't. The thing I care about most is that it is silent unless doing something hard, and then it keeps temps optimal while squeezing the most from the hardware. Apparently I also don't care about reboots. This is the OS drive from my...

Now back from vacation and the rest of the parts have arrived. Still bleeding the loops, and I might do some cable management. For some reason the highest performance water cooling parts have RGB, I'll at least make them white when I can.

PCIe Gen 5 SSDs run super hot, even with the provided aluminium plate and thermal pad my T705 thermal throttles quickly. Now looking at aftermarket solutions, maybe just a heatpipe to tie it to my GPU backplate.

Yeah, you aren't just in Sweden, you are way the heck up there in Sweden. Like north of 90% of the population. I can get to Malmo to have lunch, but that other bit is long.

Under acceleration I can get it above 600kW, and it accelerates into the speed limiter quite hard. The cross sectional area is pretty small, and it is a slippery bastard, so 150hp feels about right. At those speeds control is a bit...opportunistic. There are opportunities to control the car, a...

I update new motherboards immediately, then check every once in a while. I won't install one less than a month old; that is usually long enough for them to figure it out and issue a revision.

Did Venice and then Riva del Garda, now on the way back north. Fun fact, at 235km/h (limited due to winter tires required in Germany before Easter) the car sucks down over 450Wh/km. I'm averaging less than 200km per charge. The car tells me this is "40.2% more consumption than expected" ;)

Lake Garda at sunset is beautiful. I wish I'd brought some real cameras.

Ah, so it does. Thanks for that, the last time I did AMD was Athlon X2.

Only the CPU water cooling loop is currently running, and I have an old 2080Ti with a broken fan just to give video out. Factory Clock: Ambient is 27C Idle is 32C Cinebench 2024 CPU Multi-Core (full load) is 56C at 5.2Ghz giving a score of 2340. Compared to a friend who has a non-delidded...
