Why? If you are looking to overclock like a madman, all the new stuff has them.

My 8700k at 5Ghz runs pretty cool on a liquid cooled h100

Theres 2 of them here in the Phoenix area.

Lately, they've been doing a 20% off coupon deal on certain items in store.

GPUs, CPUs, Apple stuff, and other things are discounted by 10% with the coupon.

The prices are ridiculous, but they are very good with pricematching, so I've been able to get most of my PC components from them.

Oddly enough, they don't have any CPUs in stock except for the 7920X and the 2700x.

Even more odder, they have a shite ton of RTX GPUs in store.

I didn't know you stayed in Pheonix.

My maternal side of the family is from Gilbert. I love going out away from the pollution as a kid to experience the desert.

Yep, been out here for about 4 years now. Phoenix is a great place to live, if you can get through the summer.

Plus, during the summer, you can just go up to Flagstaff every weekend to get away from the heat.

We mostly only went during the holidays but when we did go during the summer months I found it fine.

The Louisiana humidity imo makes summer months worse.

I was just curious. The successor to my beloved i5 8400 has an f designation. So I looked it up wondering what that meant.

Your 8400 will be good for years. Not worth upgrading.

I'm not interested in upgrading, I was just curious why it didn't have integrated graphics. Even the Pentiums still do.

Coyote, you may enjoy this

You can build decks from the OG base set days and play them against other decks in that format. I've had a blast playing some of the old school lists like rain dance and alakazam stall

I ordered the NUC today and a LG 43" Ultrawide.

What I am doing is mounting the NUC onto the back of the monitor and mounting it all to this TV stand



So I can use it to work off of when I am in other parts of my house besides my office.

I am going to make it clean looking so it's not so ghetto and plan on adding a keyboard try using a mounting arm and welding supports to mount a wood desktop.

I will post pics when finished.

Are you a librarian at a local school?



Edt: I like the setup BTW. My next house I plan to build all my office furniture on wheels.

I like the idea of portable but I will keep a true desktop setup in my office. I want this for various reasons but mostly because I like to sit on the sofa and work in the evenings when the GF is home but hate doing it on a laptop because I need a wide monitor for many tasks.

I am surprised that something like this doesn't exist already and instead I am having to Frankenstein it together. The closest thing I found was a few standing desk but I can't wheel those out of site when company comes over like I will be able to with this. I can still use it as a standing desk as well when completed.


Considering incorporating this into instead of building my own but not sure how I would mount it

This will be the first version of it. I am sure I will go through a few of them to get it just right.

The NUC PC is supposed to be decent for gaming too with AMD RFX graphics. Just hope it doesn't run too hot in that small form factor.
