Before: After: 980 mm worth of cooling here. Chiller (sub zero ambient)

Definitely single core for a laptop, since most of the time you will only be using a couple cores max, so in all likelyhood you would never tap into the full potential of a better multi core CPU, so it's not even a trade off.

Update on Z840 rig: 2x Intel Xeon E5 2696 v4 processors, 3.7GHz boost, 44C/88T 64GB DDR4 2400Mhz RAM, octal channel effective painted desk, lol

I thought you were going to ask about the pike. That's just a thin layer of insulation. It's my shop, and in the wintertime it gets very cold here. To save on heat, I wrap the window at the end of each fall season and that helps a bit.

Adding another Z series workstation to the stable. This is a Z840 and provides a bit more muscle than the Z820s can. Upgrading to 40C/80T next month with two Broadwell E5 Xeons 2698 v4 processors.

One of only a handful of PCs liquid cooled from the factory. Both are HP z820s and I also have a z840 with liquid cooling as well. 1st Z820 - 2x Xeon E5 2673 v2 processors, 16C/32T, 4GHz turbo, MSI Gaming X RX 580, 64GB 8 channel memory 2nd Z820 - 2x Xeon E5 2696 v2 processors, 24C/48T, 3.1GHz...

So now we are even, good we can be friends again.

No you can do as many systems as you like.

Instead of this pesky bench racing of yours, perhaps you should put your money where your mouth is and start a little CPUz benchmark competition of your own, with rules being no overclocking or tweaking and be proven capable of a 12 Hour Prfime 95 test. 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, 99% of extreme overlockers...

Don't be rude. If you want to leave you are more then welcome to do so. I would hardly call a score of 684 for a 9th gen chip poser territory. If it passes the benchmark, you have crossed the finish line. Get it now?

Well then there is more meat on the bone. But if you are comfortable with lower placings, more power to you.

No. You are welcome to post your own benchmark thread and do exactly that. You obviously have no concept of true overclocking. Your logic is equivalent to saying a top fuel dragster can never break when it goes down the dragstrip - that it should always go down the strip without mechanical...

But yeah, this score is going to be really hard to beat for 8/9/10th gen chips IMO.
