Th I would debate the "way better" part. The 12A is by default configured to be quiet. I upgraded the fans... it's a bit louder but it does the job up to and past 220 watts. I'm not fighting against normal operation... I just want more precision boost overhead, and I don't like running my...

I have an AMD 5900X currently cooled by a Noctura nh-u12a. It's barely enough. The processor hits its limits while leveraging precision boost. TDP exceeds 260 watts in that condition, even while undervolting. I'm switching over to a ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 around Christmas and expect...

As an apple connoisseur, I strongly disagree. I'm not saying that all Crisp Pinks are terrible, but I am saying that I've never experienced a Crisp Pink that tasted anywhere as good as a good pink lady apple.

Sacrilege! A Crisp Pink is a Pink Lady that failed quality control, typically because the acidity level is off. True Pink Lady Apples, of which there are now several qualified varieties, have a very distinct flavor profile. Places that know this always charge more for genuine Pink Lady...

Things WIFI 6 brings over WIFI 5 If the mobile client is WIFI 6, you'll leverage TWT which allows for less battery consumption when connected and idle WPA3 brings better security (yeah I know it's not practically ready) Supports 1024-QAM modulation resulting in higher connection speeds...

I just did two of this exact upgrade, except in my case it was the TP-LINK AX1800 to the TP-LINK AX3000. Here's what you can expect: Assuming you don't currently have WIFI 6 Devices There's a pretty large functional feature set difference between the two. Mostly features you don't configure...

Seasonic is still 5 years ahead of most of the other power supply manufacturers. Only problem is there are some (avg) seasonic power supplies now, something that wasn't true 5 years ago.

You can't buy such a thing out of the box, but I'd bet an AMD 6800 series 8 core processor held to a 25 watt profile while on battery and then switching to a 45 watt profile while plugged in, would give that a good run for its money.

I have a 5900X that I modified the power parameters, OC and undervolted to run at 75 watts with a 165 watts PBS limit. Tuning it to be 100% stable was a nightmare, but I'm there now. I ended up with 96% of the oob performance with a fairly significant drop in power usage. It turbos single...

Once upon a time, I needed to do some serious serial port connectivity. I needed it to be bulletproof, compatible with every weird standard I had to deal with and ensure it would never kill the embedded PC104 system we were driving it with. I found these and never looked back...

Wiring is just a small part of it. I built my house in 2017, all wired with Cat6a. The terminations are cat6 as cat6a terminations were x8 more expensive at that point. I've run adapter and link tests using 2 PCs equipped with 10Gbe copper cards and yes, I have no problem getting solid 10Gb...

My x570 board has the Intel 225 2.5Gbe adapter built-in. I screwed around trying to make it work at any speed for a week before disabling it and replacing it with an older Intel CT card.

Wireless, no. Wired, yes. Ubiquiti Edgerouter Infinity is all 10Gbe The least expensive one I could find was this one, lightly used. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325488971035?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=AeTuncqPeQSXGw5BFsVDlRJeMBOsyuitHYIeSY_nO6ZiC5H3_mxe98wpPiU

On my 5900x I'm running 150/115/130 I see 5Ghz boost with an occasional 5.05Ghz, R23 runs 4.65-4.8 depending on the core. I'll have to run a Linpack to compare. My goal was to find the sweet spot between performance and efficiency.

All your turbo speeds will be thermally limited. As a [H]ardOCP member and gamer type It doesn't make sense to spend $550 on a processor and leave 10%+ of the processor's potential performance on the floor. Unless you don't care about clock speed and are one of those users who are...
