it's not changing it per say.. they're likely just using the enterprise PCB. that being said if AIB's are forced to use that PCB there's probably not going to be a whole lot of them in existence since the current high end coolers are already designed to dissipate 600w, i can't see them waste...

if all you're use to doing is hitting accept and ok without reading anything like 99.9% of people are then they don't know what they don't know. but yeah if i remember correctly you can access the bitlocker key through the microsoft account that was tied to that system.

1. it's fine. if you're worried about it use USB headset/speakers or get a USB DAC. 2. won't cause any issues unless you're transfer large files for long periods of time. 3. it's probably the same board they're just listing it differently depending on the site.

anywhere between 35-55C.. nothing worth worrying about..

have seen zero impact of that.. i still have to put reddit as a search term to even get it to suggest reddit links even though reddit is about 90% of my search quarries since it's the only usable source for 3D printing information.

too bad for you most of them use reddit as part of their training data pool.. either way reddit is an insanely useful site for data set training due to the fact that they have access to almost 18 years worth of scrapable data.

shit 10 minutes of that is just trying to get my damn gpu out because you can't reach the stupid clip. then another 10 minutes of me dropping and having to search for that tiny ass screw, lol. but i wouldn't want to deal with some of these boards with the overly complicated nvme covers/heatsinks...

for the most part they're not bad if you do keyword searches in the reviews.. typically i just look for a lot of "this product died after X months" and look for a trend in the reviews from early reviews and then from the newest reviews.. if it's just a couple people then i just ignore it. been...

meh i buy them as well.. spend 30 seconds installing and throwing it on the bottom of my case or spend 20 minutes pulling my gpu then fiddling with heatsinks and tiny arse screws just to install an nvme drive.. my times worth the cost, lol.

it depends on the drive.. some higher end OEM/component drives have warranites but most of the low end like WD blue, etc don't.. retail internal drives can be anywhere from 2-5 years while external can be 1-5 years. basically the warranty on the product the drives installed in would be as long...

dunno, i haven't changed anything in the update section of w10 other than what time i want it to restart at.. w11 i wouldn't be surprised since they're shifting more and more for mom and pop users that know nothing about driver updates. wonder if it's something tied to OEM keys maybe?

i wish.. no matter how much i intentionally try to force googles shitty algorithm to give me reddit results first i have to manually add it to the search to give me reddit results. same thing with searching reviews.. always gives me arstech, tom's hardware and the verge then a bunch of useless...

it's just your standard warranty clause/warning bs.. the thing with overclocking those chips is that you lose single threaded boost unless you can overclock it to 4.2Ghz or higher all core. you're going to want the higher single threaded clocks with older games if you can't do that.. if you can...

10% uplift for 1000 bucks more, hard pass.

maybe bios but if i'm not mistaken that's usually a sign the cards dunzo since it's not coming out of 2D clock mode(assuming it was working in w11 before this happened).
