Is that 3D box metallica and grounded? If it is some kind of thermoplastic resin alone, then you will want to create a grounding shield, but it still won't conduct heat well.

Assuming the post-kickstand price is correct, the 8-bay Ugreen is $1500 with 8GB of RAM and an i5-1235U. It has 2x 10GbE and one PCIe slot. The Syndology DS1823xs+ is $1800 with 8GB of RAM. It has one 10GbE and one PCIe slot. QNAP doesn't have exactly a matching product, so would be more...

My 7950x Raphael CPU is pulling about 25-28W min. according to the CoreTemps.

I would not buy that kind of product since the software may be terrible and only supported for a limited time. I'm not familiar with the UGREEN 绿联 UGOS. Maybe you can install other OS/apps, but that is not worth the hassle for most people.

The 7900x and 7950X were 170W in 2022. It's nothing new for AM5 12/16 cored parts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_4#Raphael If the Zen 5 is the same power for better performance, that's not a bad thing.

The 4500U looks be comparable to the i5-1145G7 of that era (~4 years ago). The cooling system is crucial to performance and if that is in a larger and heavier laptop it will perform better after the first 30 seconds than the same CPU in a T&L laptop. I wish I could use a laptop at home, but...

If your workloads are sensitive to single-threaded performance, then the difference between 3950X->5950X->7950X was significant each time, around 20-25%. In a period of about 3 years the performance improvement per core was >50% and multithreaded was >60%. That was huge and maybe we won't see...

I have not had enough PCIe lanes since Hasbors E. The speed is not very important to me. More RAM would be nice if the slow boot speed will not be worse.

I'm not expecting anything Samsung "FE" to be fantastic. :LOL: The Lendovo is obviously a step down in the lower-resolution and even wimpier SoC setup. It's also larger, which I don't want to hold. The S9 FE tablet seems to have basically the same guts as the A54 phone, with a higher-res but...

Something has happened yet again to my links. :( I was looking at the S9 FE 10.9', not the larger one. I doubt that it is worth spending over $700 for the S9 and its slightly better display. I'm not playing video games or anything that should be affected to much by the SoC (exogynous 1380)...

The oldest Ryzens I use is the 5950x, which is in a secondary computer. I'll have to decide if it is worth a $400 board to reuse the 7950X and maybe another OS is necessary (I cannot recall). I only have a spare 32GB of DDR5, so it would have less RAM than the 5950X. I might just replace the...

I would be stoked if the Granites can work in my current X670E. :)

My old tablets were nice, but long deadly by now. The newer tablest are larger than ever, other than the models with low-res displays. I don't want to to spend too much. What are the thoughts of the 10.9'' Samsung Galaxy in 2023?

INtel has about 75% of the x86-64 laptop market since 2020, so obviously AMD still has a long way to go. Maybe we will have a better Tyzen 5 for laptops in Q1 2025, but by then iNtel will have their 15th gen CPUS/GPUs. I'm still awaiting the verdict on whether Ryzen 5 will have SMP or some kind...

This is an older model, but the main one I use now looks similar. https://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/Notebooks/LG/Gram-14Z90P-G.AA79G/LG_gram_14Z90P_Test_unten.jpg The bottom appears to be primarily thin aluminum.

I could remove the SSDs and wipe them somewhere outside of the laptop, but I have to remove the back each time. It is not designed for frequent removal because the rubber feet lose some adhesives each time. But how do you think I got two 4TB SSDs in my 1.0kg laptop? Do you think these type of...

The 8840U has the exact same CPU and GPU as the 7840U, but a better NP for AI. Whoopdeedo.

Do you think that AMD has a problem with the Zen 5? The Zen 4 was back in 2022 and intel is seemingly developing more CPUs more often.

Something has happened to my post. The 2x 4TB SSDs are massively overheating. According to the specs the temperature should be 70°C, but after 300-400GB of constant writes such as when wiping, the drives reach over 80°C and start to slow down. At 84°C it's like 20 MB/sec. writes or less and...

It's not surprising, the temperatur

Intuitively the AMD should be more power efficient at high CPU loads and perform better in the smaller laptops with limited cooling. It might make less difference in an NUC that can provide maximum power and cooling. Is the integrtaed 780M worth a damn for the Compute compared to the Arc at...

Is the 8840 really all that much better than the 155H/165H? You could just wait a bit and get the 155H or 165H in Asus or AsRocks NUC.

I go through a keyboard a year or so though I don't use the Windows keys or the menus key. Laptops are probably the worst case, if you have the widely fingers. The space bar is already quite small on the lesser laptops. I really hope they don't cram another key in there, but reroute one of...

Do I need to stock up on old keyboards, since I have the KVM connector? I'm not planning to upgrade the OS any time soon. Is there any way to disable the co-pilot and still use Windows or is that illegal?

It is not true ECC and you know that. ;) What are you building that strange little NAS for?

I was told that NAS should use ECC if possible. I suppose you just test the crap out of it on the MemTest or some such?

Would you trust a NAS with an unsupported RAAM configuration?

It's always been like that for Alder Lake-N. That 16GB limitation also sucks for the Windows, but it is supposed to be CHEAP. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/232598/products-formerly-alder-laken.html...

R5 FW 2.0... was released.

I have discovered that a 155H laptop can be had optionally with the 4050 mobile GPU. That implies the Arch GPU in the iNtel CPU is rather weak. I suppose it is better than the Xe in the older CPU, but probably not worth buying a 14th gen so soon after the 13th gen. I wanted to buy the last...

You know the laptops with discrete CPUs are heavy pigs so nVidia is not really an option. I'm not finding the right Compute data for Xerxes vs. Arch in the mobile "CPU" packages; maybe you know where to look.

If you were at a full time job with your own compnay and maybe a couple of assistants at events, which gear would you use for processing videos for the customers? All I know is that the iNtel Xeres sucks for still image NR processing. I'm wondering if the new 155H with the Arch GPU chip is...

At first I thought I thought it was you. :)

It does not surprise me, but you act like that is a good thing. 🤔

You were the one that doesn't like the NVIdias for the video processing. So is AMD>NVIdia>MAc or which other order for the video?

They don't use hard drives, but you can plug in external USB/thunderbowls HDDs or SSDs. They also support SMB through 10GbE, not sure about iscsi. QNAP, etc. Make Thunderbolt's NAS and you can share files between various platforms. The whole MaC storage model sucks, but that has nothing to do...

Are the better MACs inadequate for both those tasks? I suspect that a Studio could be squeezed into your datacenter area.

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/96988/nvidia-ceo-our-next-gen-blackwell-gpu-will-cost-30-000-to-40-each/index.html Maybe the DD can figure how to use them in a PC. :LOL: You get 8 of the GPUs in a system that only uses 14kW. The GPU memory is 1,440GB total. o_O...

They are great for aw lot of things as is some Red stuff, but not as a webcam. :ROFLMAO:

I would be broke if a µcenter were only a half mile away. :LOL: It's a road trip for me now. I miss the old Frys in CA.

Has Intel improved the power efficiency to be equal or better to the NVidias ?

So you are shooting and giving the talent free images with limited usage rights or full usage rights? You are using a standard release form?

The DC580 is shipping, but $625 is too much for me. :(

Windows power and battery management has no charging level options AFAIK. That's up to the computer supplier, kind of like how Samsnug adds extra features to the ONeUI over the basic Androids. Maybe you can find an app for it at Asus or elsewhere.

The A10-7870K had a wimpy CPU even in 2015 when compared to the slightly older Haswells or newer Skylakes, but you probably chose it for the APU. The 13700H is ways better than that old stuff for sure. That QLC DRAM-less SSD is low end, but serviceable. When upgrading SSDs you can do a direct...

I would not be buying a year-old phone like the A54 either. I can understand some people prefer a smaller S2x vs S2x+ and the cost is $200 less, so the differential to the A of FE series is less. Presbyopia makes a smaller phone less desirable for me. I would hope for 4 years of service...

According to Samsung, the A5x line will not be sold in the states by carriers going forward. The 2023 A54 phones probably will be around for a while. It's not clear which carriers will offer the A35 (which will be sold in the states), but I have no interest in it. The supposed rationale is...

I keep an image of C: and only update from that each time, making a new one at least once a month (<35 days). I restore C: from that image every week or less. I use several of the basic privacy tools commonly available. I clean the browser and other cache constantly. (The Koreans descrined...

I only photographed dancers once, during a dress rehearsal. It was not fun in any way. Fortunately I'm not a photographer. I do like photographing the wild cats - lions, leopards, cheetahs, caracals, African wildcats, servals, jaguars, ocelots, pumas, bobcat, linux, etc. (Due to disease...
