Overzealous flux job?

I wouldn't think so; the pads felt like wet sponges.

I still got my 1080 GTX, and it's going strong. Get decent frame rates at 1440p that I game on my LG OLED. I've had this for so many years. It's such a great value of a card. With it, my PC still stomps consoles.

It still works so well that I have no desire to upgrade.

We all know that there's a flux capacity. I've known this since 1985!

Bought a laptop for my gaming fix while overseas, also have a Nu Force uDAC-3 + Creative Aurvana Live SE, and a pair of Creative Pebble v3 for audio. Since the laptop's for gaming, and I'm also something of a keyboard guy (the idea of playing game with those mushy membrane laptop keyboard doesn't appeal to me), I'd also gotten a Keychron K2 v2 + red PBT shine through keycaps. Oh yeah, laptop specs as follow:
AMD R7 5800H, 2x DDR4 3200MHz, RTX 3070, Win11 Home

Pretty boring computer choice:

Just an M1 MacBook Pro with 2tb and 16gb of ram.

And 2 8tb SSD’s filled with Movie’s, TV shows, Anime, and Music.

Built this myself during thanksgiving of 2020:

Intel i9-10850K
Asus Rog Strix Z490E motherboard
32 GB DDR4 RAM
NVIDIA 3080 RTX GPU
1TB NVMe M2 SSD
1TB SATA3 SSD
Custom liquid cooling loop

The new Ryzen 7000 series seems super interesting.



It's sort of a mixed bag in terms of performance, but productivity seems to be its biggest strength. I'm also curious to see how PBO behaves with more modest coolers. Most reviewers are only using water cooling, and these new chips are able to push clock speeds until they hit a 95c temp; I'd really like to see what an air cooler will be able to do. Is it going to be the difference between 5.7ghz and 5.5ghz, or something more extreme? I can't imagine a good Noctua cooler would be too far behind a water cooler, and CPUs are notorious for exponential power consumption increase as clock speed rises.

Soon, I will be looking for another build computer that will do gaming well. I'm waiting on what happens after RTX 4000 series cards drop. That's when I will decide on a new gaming PC (that is pre-built) and will be wanting a good card in it that will be good for many years like 1080 GTX has done for me. I will not build one because I'm afraid it will break and I can't figure out the issue.

I got a new box since after trying to live with my fanless Lenovo with 4G of RAM I could not. The Lenovo M75t mini tower is nothing to look at and there are some annoyances but it runs like a scalded cat. Ryzen 7 5750 8 cores/16 threads. I can transcode a 590M album in WAV to FLAC in about 10,2 seconds elapsed even on a bitlocker filesystem (not sure where the crypto overhead goes whether it's done by the drive or the AMD CPU...)

Speaking of Lenovo. Purchased too a heavily discounted Thinkstation P360 Tiny. Will be arriving tomorrow.
Mine come w/ an i9-12900T and has two SODIMMS and two m.2 NVME Gen.4 slots aside from a dedicated RTX T1000 8Gb.
Will be upgrading it to 64Gb w/ two Kingston Fury mems and two 2Tb SN850X m.2s in RAID 0.

Will update this post when finished setting up.

Basically laptop-like internals without a monitor. What I'm most interest in is, what is the best graphics card they can fit in a small form-factor and run fairly cool. I bet that's a big challenge. Oh wait, is it steamdeck?

Well, it doesn't have to be a hand portable, but can be transportable to impress me. 4090 RTX in a very small form factor? anybody up for a challenge?
