Mr. Fox

I think I may have misspoken about CachyOS being immutable. I looked into it and see it is NOT an immutable distro. I installed it over Bazzite (which I truly despised) and that may have done something to make it that way. I am going to try it again on a formatted SSD instead of installing using the "replace" option like I did before. (I assumed using the replace option in Linux setup would have wiped the drive, but I am thinking maybe it did not and kept the Bazzite partitioning structure.) If I don't like it then I will just restore my Kubuntu image from Macrium Reflect... easy come, easy go.

Micro$lop nonsense is infinite and non-stop...

Off topic, but tech-related: Nice to see them squirming... eff the EU... LOL. They should all be ignoring EU fines and sanctions and telling them to stuff it up their tailpipe and go to the hot place where bad dead people go.

The way things seem to be heading for us with absurd RAM and GPU prices, 1080p low settings might become the new mainstream because it would cost $10K to build a PC with respectable specs. The badasses will be rocking 8GB DDR5 6000 C38 (2x4GB) with Samsung or Micron ICs and a 5060 for $3500.

It looks as though some of those replying to your comments on the video are stupid Redditor trolls. Many of the YouTube "influencers" do not know much when it comes to overclocking, which is bad because most of the viewing audience know even less. Like the vision-impaired leading the blind. This is a steal if anyone is interested. https://www.overclock.net/posts/29538697/

Nice. That is a great price for the Apex.

Only if they are bare copper. It is very beneficial with bare copper. It is pointless and not necessary with nickel plating. I would recommend avoiding bare copper for anything, but especially liquid metal application. It's not harmful to copper, but the absorption is just an added hassle that you avoid with nickel. Even when you are not using liquid metal the bare copper starts looking pretty nasty with normal use and keeping it looking sharp is a real pain in the butt. It looks nice when it is new, but looks horrible when it begins to tarnish.

Sacrificing usability and features for a marginal improvement (and with AMD gains are always marginal) in overclocking equates to a poor buying decision. XOC means sub-zero. I do not do that and never intend to. I don't have the time, money or home office space needed for that. If I actually made money overclocking and/or had free products sent to me I might feel differently. When my money is involved and the only benefit is momentary satisfaction the rules start to change. A single chipset AMD board may as well be ITX or mATX because the added size of ATX/E-ATX offers nothing in terms of functionality when there is only one chipset available. I need my systems to offer some level of versatility or they are not worth owning. X870 (non-E, single chipset) may as well be B850 ITX/mATX in terms of functionality and overclocking capabilities using above zero cooling.

And, we thought the 5090 FE was an idiotic design, but this is far worse. What an absolute abortion. Should be interesting to see what kind of water cooling contraption will be developed for this goofball piece of crap. The Green Goblin has lost its mind. In stark contrast, this is quite the engineering marvel. I am not a fan of SFF but this is truly an elegant creation that oozes quality from every pore. Imaging how great a full E-ATX tower to support triple 420mm radiators built like this would be.

Yeah, I could see where that would be true.
