    Oh, and the cryorig CU C5 shown at computex 2025 claims to cool 185W at like 55MM? Yet another avenue. This stuff is so tantalizing.

    I was looking at this youtube channel for a 9900x low profile cooler demo, but found none. The 9900x is about 50% more performant than my current 8945hs based off of llvm compile times, whereas the 9950x is double the 8945hs (though I'll have the opportunity to check). The 9900x can be found...

    The black is the only version available in my region (without going through superbuy and paying $100 to ship), it's on its way. I'd rather dust on the case then in the case at least :) The 9950x3d turned out to be $269 more expensive than a 9950x I got for $430 -- that means many more years...

    Thanks, I think the x3d works as well. I'm definitely not power limited, and as long as I can get the same amount of performance I don't much care about the wattage (though the math favors a 9950x in terms of cost: ~$100 for the same amount of performance at 30% less power consumption would take...

    Alright, here's the revision I'm settling on: - g200 - 9950x - hdplex 500W GaN (again, just the 9950x can pull 300W at full multicore load) - asrock b850i lightning wifi - Phantom Spirit 120 SE (shows slightly better temps than the EVO at maximum load on intel according to hardware canucks) - no...

    https://linustechtips.com/topic/1520965-kxrors-g200-mini-itx-case-mini-review/ Or the G200. That thread probably compares it to a genuine PSU on top of a low height cooler, so understandably the thermals are bad. The nice thing about the G200 is that it's prettier, it can use regular power...

    Hi, I'm a person who doesn't game but wants an sff compute workstation. I pretty commonly run linux compilation loads that have all 16 cores of my 8945HS mini PC at 100% for multiple minutes at a time. I also used to run android instrumentation tests, I have run qemu performance tests, JMH...
