SM580Mini-ITX PC Case for 280mm AIOs and 3-slot GPUs

If you don't need the 2nd Cpu connector and go for iTX MB and need the smallest case you can get. Of course you'll have to put of some time for dust cleaning 🙂 And accept a bit more noise. But you can't get a much more portable/ luggable system. This system is upgradeable. Aka the total opposite of today's laptops. 1-0 vs Jokebooks. https://xworks.store/products/x32-small-form-factor-open-air-case

This on reminds me about modern designed electrical ovens we is forceed to use in cold places as here in the cold North. I'm sure it will work and do a good job as a heater if you fill it with HW from the high end graphics and processors line. https://www.sfftime.com/ A better looking choice... But it has to be in black.

@Clamibot look at the video from 9:40 where he talk about an single vs double 8 pin Cpu connector. He recommend utilize two if you go over 230W. And you won't get an nice OC boost with that power restriction.

Maybe pm the mod team or the adm's. A better place take it there than in here or other threads. Ask them what rules they have implemented for the forum regarding posting gifts in the forum. Maybe they should add them into the General Forum Rules

Maybe you and bro @Mr. Foxcan post your most honest opinions on this new AMD locked down tragedy https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/amd-confirms-ryzen-7-5800x3d-is-not-overclockable.3754518/post-22641593 https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/amd-confirms-ryzen-7-5800x3d-is-not-overclockable.3754518/post-22641620

You talk about a single 8-pin CPU EPS connector for the mini ITX MB. As a good reminder.... 12900KS is an 150W chips. And none know if Intel finally get out the finger from their big but and also give the standard K chips same TDP. They probably have to because AMD will most likely release an 16 cores Zen 4 chips this fall (yep, no baby cores). And some rumors talk about 170w TDP for their top best performing chips. If Intel castrate their best chips with 125W TDP and this time also with double amount E-cores for Raptor lake then you see where I go 🙂 They just can't keep on with 125W flagship chips if they want compete with chips from AMD that is on a smaller node. https://hwbot.org/submission/4954020_papusan_wprime___32m_core_i9_12900k_1sec_483ms?recalculate=true

I just wish this was true. No baby cores and instead 12 real cores. And that Intel would release Raptor lake with 16 or 18 cores instead for more of the small baby cores. Isn't that correct bro @Ashtrix? Maybe they have fixed the flaw in latest Cpu-X version https://github.com/X0rg/CPU-X/releases/tag/v4.3.0 Yep, this show Apple in a nutshell. They follow the tech trend as hand in glove. The bell sheep in the tech industri taken with their pants down. "The company claimed that the M1 Ultra could offer greater performance than the Intel Core i9-12900K while consuming 100 fewer watts at load. But the most outrageous claim was likely the assertion that the M1 Ultra's 64-core GPU #offered better performance# than the flagship NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 while undercutting it by 200 watts in power consumption". Apple M1 Ultra's 64-Core GPU Fails to Dethrone the Mighty RTX 3090

I mean the the 8 pin supplies 235 continuous watts and then you have the 75 watts from the CPU slot. Aka 310W for peak. Not a viable slution for constant load over prolonged time. And you'll easy pass ++300W if you intend to overclock for benching (undervolt for lower wattage won't save you if you try to max out the overclock potentiale). Also the ITX boards need to follow the standard.

This explain it more.... https://www.tomshardware.com/news/its-official-ryzen-7-5800x3d-is-not-overclockable This is an X branded chips. Lock you out from tweaking your processors is so.... Jokebooks.

Why so difficult? Both software is developed and updated from same company @Mr. Fox @Ashtrix SECURITY, MICROSOFT Microsoft Defender tags Office updates as ransomware activity Windows admins were hit today by a wave of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint false positives where Office updates were tagged as malicious in alerts pointing to ransomware behavior detected on their systems.

AMD couldn't allow more voltage for this chips to be able to stay within specs. Hence we saw a drop both in base clock and max boost clocks vs 5800X. I hail Intel that go long outside specs for TDP when the chips execute boost clocks at default speed. AMD have still something to learn from the Blue team. A lot. But this new AMD ball capped chips on their EOL platform reminds me all too much about Intel's huge failure when they waved goodbye for 14nm with Z590 and Franken Chips while they gave all 10nm love for their BGA Junk for same 11th gen chips for Jokebooks. Todays tech companies sucks. Red or Blue pills doesn't matter. The greed and stupidity from the industri reach new awful levels for each new year.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/7s2t7a/why_does_aida_64_say_my_pixel_clock_is_14850mhz/ @Ashtrix Pcworlds's awful editors strikes again. The 3DV-Cashe is enough for the entusiasts. They are fine with locked down X-branded chips. I can't understand why AM allowed the X-moniker on a locked down chips. But well known letters sell as you know. All that being said, the lack of options for overclocking on one CPU isn’t the end of the world for the enthusiast market. Intel and AMD have been optimizing their chips so completely that there’s little overhead room left for overclockers, at least at the enthusiast level without unlimited budgets and easy access to liquid nitrogen. The performance boost from the ultra-low latency cache should more than make up for the lack of overclocking options for the vast majority of users. https://www.pcworld.com/article/624225/confirmed-the-ryzen-7-5800x3d-cant-be-overclocked.html

HaHa. The gamer kids don't need overclocking. I would expect an 5950X3D would be an disaster if they have dared release a new locked down flagship. And AMD try hard to grab a few customers they screwed since fall 2020 when they only wanted sell new MB. All in the love try grab customers from walking to Intel.

Hi. You'll reach 5.0 with an ok chips. There is an Amp cap shutdown around 166w so there isn't much more you can do with the older Clevo model. Run it stock and call it a day. An 8700K is more than enough. If you can get an binned one with low leakage(cooler running chips), the better. An P870TM model would be a better choice for an 9900K.

The diseased thin and sllim laptop trend strikes again. It comes with a huge drawback. Design over functionality. Why go for worlds thinnest design over functionality for an gaming laptop? Make it so damn thin that you can't offer better performing graphics cards and on top have to opt for the most castrated version of cards match the thread topic as hand in glove. "The new Alienware x14" offers the latest technology and stable gaming performance, but the slim chassis requires some compromises. A thicker chassis would have probably been better for many most customers. Alienware x14 Review - The world's thinnest gaming notebook requires compromises The marketing phrase “world’s thinnest gaming notebook” sounds good, but we are pretty sure a slightly thicker chassis would have resulted in a better product.

German Cyber Guard BSI warns now against the use of Kaspersky antivirus products Posted on 2022-03-15 by guenni Can antivirus products from the Russian based company Kaspersky be used in companies and government agencies without risk? After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this question has becomehot. After hesitating for some time, the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has now issued a recommendation. In short, the BSI recommends replacing applications from the Kaspersky anti-virus software portfolio with alternative products. And if you enjoy Malware on your computers then visit M$ Store. There is no need to spend time on unsafe webpages. Microsoft is very keen offer you new features/highlights, LOOL Electron Bot: Malware in Microsoft Store infects over 5,000 machines Posted on 2022-03-15 by guenni [German]Security vendor Check Point has come across a new type of malware that enables a complete takeover of systems through a backdoor. In addition, the malware can take control of social media accounts from Facebook, Google and Sound Cloud. The malware was spread via games offered for download in the official Microsoft Store. And the tragic thing is that virus scanners like Microsoft Defender did not detect this malware.

Not so sure they add all ideas from Win 10. A lot is changed with Win 11 and to the worse 🙂 And this is the main reason Microsoft didn't dare offer their newest tech only for Win 11. They know all too many will stay on the better OS for a long time🤪 What Is DirectStorage on Windows 11, Windows 10, and Xbox? DirectStorage is a feature of DirectX 12 found in the Xbox Series consoles that accelerates the performance of SSDs using the massive parallel processing power of today’s GPUs. DirectStorage could change this for the good, so we won't have to stare at loading screens frequently, because games will switch between areas faster, render more complex worlds with NPCs, better animations, and richer visuals. The good news is that it is not exclusive to Windows 11, the API is compatible with Windows 10 too. Microsoft says that DirectStorage will run better on Windows 11 due to storage stack optimizations in the new operating system, but that could be marketing jabber. Here's an official video that explains more about DirectStorage on Windows. Image courtesy: Microsoft.

The older fans push a lot air. Helped me a lot on the old 3070K setup. It would be bad if they go for less noise over performance. And not so sure I like the rounded fan design. Yep, I'm quite a traditional guy, LOOL but we'll see when the reviews is out 🙂 Evga should have used an thicker rad and also offered an 420 mm AIO. https://hwbot.org/submission/4951931_papusan_cinebench___r20_core_i9_12900k_12016_cb https://hwbot.org/submission/4951935_papusan_cinebench___r23_multi_core_with_benchmate_core_i9_12900k_31603_cb?recalculate=true

Ready to get more ads on you computer? Microsoft's software engineeers ain't finished make Win 11 better, LOOL Microsoft is back with ads in File Explorer on Windows 11 Many Windows 10 users may remember ads in File Explorer. Microsoft used to show them at some point of time, but eventually abandoned this idea. It looks like the Redmond software giant is again tinkering with this feature in the upcoming version of Windows 11, version 22H2. The company is exploring all possible ways to increase its revenue from Windows. For instance, the recently added Clipchamp app, while aimed to be the app like Windows Movie Maker, is completely useless unless you pay for extra features.

Happy you was pleased. And thanks🙂 Microsoft will add more useless Win 11 bloat on coming Win 10 feature update. @Mr. Fox @Ashtrix Microsoft Releases Windows 11 Feature for Windows 10 with KB5011543 for Insiders wccftech.com The taskbar search box and search home will periodically update with content, including fun illustrations, which help you discover more, be connected, and stay productive. Search highlights will present notable and interesting moments of what’s special about each day—like holidays, anniversaries, and other educational moments in time both globally and in your region. I'm sure they will add in more Win 11 features in the future...

Maybe we will get an benchmate validation software on top of benchmate to validate the scores 🙂 I just got a pack of Window/door gasket for the chassis. I'm still baffled Corsair couldn't do a better job on a chassis that cost +600$. And I bought a Metal strip covered in black plastic to make an arm for fans intended cooling the memory/vrms.Will work same as the flexible arm for mounting fans for bench tables. Not as pretty but I think a proper mounting will make it pretty enough in the chassis 🙂 Edit. Yep, the gasket works well. It cost 10$ here home for the package (perverse for 6 m wimpy thin P shaped gasket). I'm sure it wouldn't cost Corsair more than 1$ in parts to fix their broken/bad design decisions. And probably less/same for mounting it on the chassis.

The bench finished, but you can see that the run is invalid from the rendered pict

Oh, I didn't see that. The run is invalid. But show its potential with better cooling.
