Mr. Fox

Well, I put that 14900KF that I recently bought with the excellent SP ratings and SA bug into my mini-ITX Munchkin PC and it's doing quite nice. The only thing holding it back now is the 360 AIO. It can't cool more than 57x all P-core and 46x all E-core effectively even after a delid. I ordered an EK CR360 Direct Die AIO to replace this CR360 Dark AIO so we will see how that does when the IHS isn't holding it back. That won't be arriving until sometime in May (on backorder). I was able to get the memory overclock to 8200 with tight timings. Now I will start pushing the cache and see how much it can handle so I can pull that latency down. If it can manage 51x cache with the 1.130V VCCSA that should bring it down to around 51 ns. I'm getting better results with this little guy, in spite of its thermal and power handling limitations, than some folks are getting with a much larger and more robust platform. I put my Byski RAM jackets on the G.SKILL 8000 and my generic aluminum heat sink strips screwed to the top of them with a Corsair RAM fan blowing on that and now I can finish long memory stability tests without the memory overheating like it does with the crappy stock heating blankets. I just played a little over an hour of MWIII and with enjoyed ~150 FPS with maxed out settings at 1440p using the ARC A770.

The thing is, if we create a tutorial for something simple like clearing CMOS, once it is there, it can be referenced and linked to open in a new window in the context of another tutorial where clearing CMOS is a recommended procedure. So, even if it offers minimal value as a standalone, it can be used to support other tutorials. Then you don't have to waste time explaining how to clear CMOS in a tutorial focused on another topic.

I like it. Fantastic idea. I have identified several topics I could easily tackle. Below (from your list) are things that I routinely do where a tutorial could be benficial to others. Let's see how many respond and want to chip in. As long as it is an area of familiarity to me, you can count on me to fill in gaps if anyone is passionate about taking a specific topic. A few similar topics could be things like how to take control of Windows Updates, Tweaking for Performance vs. Security, Disaster Preparedness using Drive Images (Macrium Reflect), How to Multi-Boot Operating Systems, etc.

Thanks for the compliment, brother.

Thanks, brother. It's a shame they are not going to release it in the US. I don't understand that.

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. Yes, it is a good drive for a good price.

Great review and a thorough analysis of this air cooler's capabilities. For an air cooler it does an impressive job. The fact that it beat the universally respected Noctua NH-D15 in a measurable way commands some respect. I think your observations are excellent and the recommendation against using an air cooler for an overclocked CPU capable of pushing over 250W is spot-on. This cooler looks like a very good low-cost thermal solution for someone running a system with basic use routine in mind and modest performance expectations that remain below its TDP-handling limitations.

I read this review and got side-tracked and forgot to post. Excellent job on the review. That's quite the speedy NVMe drive. It's crazy how fast these Gen5 can move data.

Very good review! Thorough and professional.

A new masterpiece from Brother Tom... sweet. Not a rap fan, but I do love the message and the good men behind the message. And a couple of good recent releases... especially like the first one.

Just crested beyond the official half-way mark today. Some say that's over the hill, but by my calculations it is still a long way to the top.

Thank you. I agree.
