I remember what some folks at work used to say fairly often: "You smoke, you die" "You smoke near your pc, it dies, then you die too" If you must smoke while using your pc, then do it a favor & go outside, or at least go into a different room & close the door...or better just quit :D I know...

I had that issue too, and discovered what was causing it, at least part of it anyways: Every single app is set as100% active all the time, with all background processes running wide open with all permissions on by default, and no limits whatsoever.... I had to go through every single app...

As with most things 'puter-related, the usual advice applies: If you NEED it now, buy it now...if not, then don't & wait, but by Q4/25, more newer betta stuff will be out or forthcoming in 26-27, so then you will be right back in the same place as you are now.... but good luck with whatever...

Soooooo, to summarize/translate: A bunch of gammin optimizations, that should have been there from day 1 but were not....that and a few bug fixes thrown in for good measure S/n/O/o/Z/e :D

Same here. I have been using 850X's exclusively since they came out (and the 750X's before that) in both my personal rigs & client builds too, as OS and storage drives, neveranottaproblemo whatsoever.....and the majority of my clients are CAD/imaging/database pro's that thrash on them hard for...

"Stupid is as stupid does" - Forest...Forest Gump 'nuff said :D

Looks nice, however, TT has the "Commander" fan controller that fits perfectly in that 5.25 slot in the front, and will allow you digitally control up to 10 fans (2 on each connector), which is what I did with mine back in the day :)

Been there, done that, too many times to count....neveranottaproblemo :) I just love those little Elite boxes, so nice & compact, and reasonable performance for just a little $$, which is 100% ideal for office/POS apps....My wife uses 1 for her WFH healthcare stuff, and I have a few as spares...

Perhaps it's not faster than the 990P, but the 850X is at least as fast....within in a few MB/s anyways. And seeins how both are gen 4 drives rated for 7450/6900MB/s, I doubt that most average users could tell the difference anyways.... Hell, even on my slightly dated 11G mini-me box, I still...

Oh my, if only it wasn't a greenie, I'd be all over this :) GLWS !

As with most things involving technology, science, and/or the military, what they show you in a video or pictures or in PR's is only what they WANT you to see...... and while most folks are standing around going "wow, that's so cool", the developers are laughing their asses off because they know...

While it was actively being used, the battery life was always excellent, it was only towards the end of 1000's & 1000's of charge cycles did it start to degrade. IIRC, when I got rid of it, the "health" indicator showed 68%, but again, that was after almost 15 years of near-constant use, both...

the 1st one :D

July 1992, but back then the were called "Powerbooks" :) It ran very well until early 2007 as my road warrior companion, when things (battery, screen, nic) started dying rather quickly, so I moved on to the more modern MacBook Pro shortly after they came out !

TeleFragger.....That Sir is what we in the engineering design world refer to as a "colossal, conglomerated clusterf*ck" of epic proportions, hehehe :D It's makin my brain hurt just from looking at it, and I would most likely have a heart attack and/or a seizure if I were to see it in person....
