That's basically what I do, I have 3 1-liter PCs with 7500T CPUs picked up from eBay for like $130 apiece. The 7th gen is much cheaper as it can't run Windows 11. Added 16GB RAM to hit 24GB and both a 512GB SATA and NVMe SSD in ZFS RAID1, and use them in a Proxmox cluster. Very low power, take...

I had to RMA my Corsair K70 RGB Mk.2 with cherry blues twice so far for repeating keys, and they told me I can't RMA it a third time as it's out of warranty. I don't know if there's a QC problem with this one model or Corsair as a whole, but I absolutely recommend against buying this particular...

Exactly my point. UE5 TSR is extremely impressive (like DLSS2, and unlike FSR) and runs on shaders.

I still manage all my cables and my case doesn't have a window either. But you're right, I can't imagine it actually makes any difference. Anyway yeah, dual-tower air coolers are huge. Love my NH-D15.

I have a NH-D15 but the U12S redux would work fine too. Worst case scenario it boosts like 100Mhz lower, and as I get older I realize that I simply don't care.

Don't increase the base voltage, that takes away the whole point of curve optimizer. Leave it stock, set PBO to motherboard, then drop your 2 (or 4) best curves by X and the remaining cores by Y, where Y>X, and play around with it, benchmarking in between each change to ensure you aren't...

You got 4.9Ghz all-core stable? That's amazing. You clearly won the silicon lottery.

DOOM doesn't need it if you have a well-matched GPU and resolution, but if you're running like a 2060S and want to hit 4k, this may get you there.

Definitely EVGA, the FTW3 Ultra air-cooled. Best warranty and support, bar none. Sure as hell wouldn't buy Gigabyte. Their RMA is a huge pain in the ass.

I don't know about QNAP (although I suspect it is) but Synology is just mdraid behind the scenes. You can pop the disks out of your Synology NAS, drop them into a linux box, and your volumes will show up. This apples to SHR1 and SHR2 also. Likely anyone on this forum could build a quiet, cool...

Yes, I expect FSR to be useful in exactly the way you describe. I do not expect it to be magical like DLSS2, but options are always good.

If you got a Gigabyte card it's PROBABLY fine now, but I suggest getting 8-pin PCIe power extenders and leave them plugged in 100% of the time just to be extra careful. Other than the bizarre power plugs my Gigabyte 3080 has been a great card-- but they made me RMA it.

DLSS2 is black magic. It can't be easy to copy something that seems like it shouldn't even be possible.

If it was sitting steady at 60C when basically idle something was wrong somewhere. If it was a brief spike, that's normal for Zen3 and you just need to get out of the "intel mindset". I had the same problem.

Manual overclocking all cores you will lose lightly-threaded boost speeds, yes. That's the tradeoff CO and CTR are designed to address. 60C on the desktop at idle indicates your cooling is a problem, assuming you're seeing those numbers in hwinfo64 or ryzen master and that they aren't for like...
