It does not have any sata ports. You've got a couple of ways of getting some: 1. M.2 to sata adapter - about $20 on aliexpress for 6 sata…

It was pretty easy to bump the ram clock speed in the BIOS - I can't remember which menu it was under, but I did have to enable advanced…

You can get 64GB ddr5 sodimm for $232.49 on amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/Crucial-5600MHz-5200MHz-4800MHz-CT2K32G56C46S5/dp/B0BLTG7TN6…

It comes with radeon 610M - adequate for desktop, but not for gaming/AI.

That is such a shame. AT used to be awesome back in the day - I still fondly remember my ATH-AD900X for pinpoint spatial audio accuracy in…

There is a possibility if it supports 2x48G, it'll support 2x64GB. Most manufacturers haven't tested with that config though, because 128GB…

Given he's got a good motherboard and 64GB ram, then this is probably your best bang for buck. You're not going to get double speedup going…

The cooler on this is a bit crap, *but* if you use a high static pressure fan, it improves quite a bit under load. * Using a no-name 120mm…

It has a wifi slot (M.2 A/E key) on the board (and it comes with wifi pigtails), in addition to the M.2 nvme slots.

@the-rabs how thick are these? I've used the razer sphex before, and liked the fact they were really thin (0.4mm thick).

Yeh, I think if this was $750 to $800 it'd be worth it. Maybe they'll release "SE" version like they did with the BD795i-SE (assuming one…

I went with the crucial 96GB kit - easily does 5600 (but won't do 6000) at default CL46, and I've now tweaked the CL down to 40 - memtest…

Level1Techs did a review of this board (including running it with a 5090): https://youtu.be/M0p8HMeO_WI?si=SPBANQyPQu9ZwQQG Gonna to try…

True, but if they are gaming, and doing so on a budget and go for an intel B580 card, then the 5700X will be significantly slower in some…

Just in time. The rope holding up my pants is on it's last legs.

I've got one of these, using it as a proxmox host/NAS. It works quite well: * IOMMU support (haven't tried passthru yet, but support seems…

Try different combos of load - it might not be heavy load, it might be light - it was over a year ago when I bought one, so I can't…

I (and many others) have had severe coil whine with these. But others haven't had any issue, so buy and if you get a whiney one, return to…

The 1.2L ones often go on amazon for $22.50 or thereabouts, and they're much more manageable. But if you're in an office, do they not have…

If anyone needs a stand, I've had good success with the ugreen tablet stand (I think it's this one:…

The Hawaiian ones descend from a small farm in Gympie. Like you say, Hawaii had better marketing - bloody yanks. South Africa is the…

If you don't play games *at all*, then a minisforum um760 for $479 on amazon is probably a good deal - it has 6 Zen4 cores, which will beat…

I had one of these with coil-whine too - sent it back and now use a ugreen - which has had zero issues so far.

1080ti is still the GOAT of old skool video cards. Steve from Gamers Nexus said so. Thanks Steve.

Especially because it was free with a pizza order. Can't remember the pizza, but still have fond memories of running with a good squad in…

2 extra cores, and the cores are a bit faster. For a desktop, these have the advantage of 32G (or maybe 64G) ram capacity 16G (officially)…

That also happened to my alldocube iPlay 50 Mini.

You can get barebones models (e.g. gmktec) on aliexpress for a similar price- e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007158885681.html -…

If you got the "heartbreaker", does the conversation start with "Does it come in hetero colours as well?" (I got heartbreaker, I'm manly…

I pretty much echo those sentiments. At RRP, this is a terrible deal. For $25, it's not bad. I've noticed there is quite a bit of wobble in…
