I use mine when I travel for delays in airports and I don't want to drag the laptop out and in the morning to check on things while I am in bed waking up.
I just bought
Vankyo MatrixPad Z4 10 inch Tablet
DON"T BUY, It's TRASH!
Been using
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, but it's too old and slow, capped at Jellybean
LINK
I have and don't laugh and old HP touchpad running Cryogenmod.
LINK
I carry an Anker PowerCore 10000

It is nice when in a bind, help a guy in Houston call his daughter and tell her his plane was delayed when his phone was dead. Airport plugins are

Need to find laptop for my Quest, so I can run SteamVR and full Rift games while traveling. What's good out there now? Been a long time since I looked at laptops. Don't really care about a giant screen or it being a "gaming" style eye sore, rather it more compact. Want a beast processor (most important part for the games I play, single core important), decent graphics card.

Dell Inspiron Gaming (G5) series is pretty good. Great performance with very acceptable cooling and acoustics at a decent price. Plus, none of the ghey Alienware/Gamer aesthetics.
Edt: I believe the Thunderbolt 3 is x4 too.

Hobby SW terminal is shtt when it comes to power outlets. Most of them don't even work.

AMD needs to show mercy on poor Intel.
But honestly, Physics score has always been a weird thing in 3DMark. AMD suffered for years in that benchmark's physics score all because of an error in Windows' scheduler. Using shared high lvl cache per core pair during the Bulldozer era didn't help much, but the benchmark didn't reflect real world performance for AMD.
Never the less that benchmark has always favored CPUs with large high lvl cache.
I'm betting you would be hard press trying to get that variance to translate to real world use. However, it is still fact AMD is wiping the floor with Intel's offerings.

Yeah, 7nm Threadripper is only going to make the HEDT gap bigger.
This after Intel says they won't have anything new for desktop until 2021.

Rumor from German sites is 2022 for desktop 10nm.
There is no way.

I read no desktop 10nm at all the other day.

According to the German site HardwareLuxx, Intel has canceled all of its 10nm desktop CPUs. 10nm, 10nm+, and 10nm++ will all be mobile and server parts, while desktop chips will supposedly remain on 14nm until 7nm chips are ready in 2022, with the advent of a new chip, Meteor Lake.

Heard this for months, maybe a year.
I believe it was too aggressive. Remember their 10nm is closer to TSMC's 7nm. For what I remember last year they could never get quality yields since the manufacturing process just doesn't work with that architecture. Full of anomalies, which just give you leaky chips. Leaky chips don't clock well, chips that don't clock well get hot, hot chips kill performance and lifespan.
Yeah, those things might not ever come to market.

Does anyone make an expandable AIO water cooling solution, like the swiftech h220, anymore?
Posted on 10/23/19 at 1:31 am to brucevilanch
An expandable AIO water-cooled solution is a great DIY project for any weekend warrior or hobbyist Dad (or Mom!).
If you follow my 10 tips for expandable AIO water-cooled solution, you to can have one in under 1 hour. Also, guys, stay tuned to the end of the video for a Bonus 11th Tip! Don't forget to Sub and Comment below for a chance to win $1,000 dollars!
I'm not certain if they still make those expandle AIOs. Having so many Quick Disconnects in a loop is bound spill out disaster all over the goods.
Just build a custom loop? It will last for years over multiple upgrades. Excluding the CPU/GPU per gen revision.
FrozenCPU - They are still my go to, fckk PerformancePCs. The owner might be a coke head, but coke is good. He might have once fired all employees then disappeared one day, no biggie. Then there was the time he drove his beamer through the warehouse's closed door, just a little head injury. Maybe sort of came destroyed the warehouse that one time by throwing and flipping shelves in the warehouse, just a bad day. That is all true. About 4yrs ago the owner had a huge breakdown that was pretty public. His Ex-Employees loved to write long-form essays about his adventures on OCN.

Jesus Christ.
Also, Swiftech seems to still makes one, just under a different naming scheme.

Why not just do custom?
You are more than half way there already with those kits.
Edt: but understand, gets you started.
Why you want to go under water, noise? throttling?

I just don't want to deal with the hassle of it. I'm not going underwater on the GPU yet, but the Swiftech lets me future proof for the same price as the h100i pro. I've always had my CPU under water in some way or the other.

It's not terrible. Annoying but not terrible.
Water cooling is awesome. You eliminate fan noise just to experience coil whine.

Haha yeah. I've got my card running right at 2100mhz right now and it runs around 70 degrees in game, but even at 50% fan speed they are pretty aggressive sounding. One motivation for going to a water block is that I want to go smaller form factor and SLi. That'll keep the top card from throttling when overclocked pretty high, like I had when I ran crossfire.
