    Acer - Predator Helios 18" 250Hz Gaming Laptop HDR–1000 nits mini-led Intel i9-13900HX with 32GB Memory–GeForce RTX 4080–1TB SSD

    You sure that's not related to the GPU switching? I have that similar behavior on my HP Omni laptop (mind you only a 3070 and not 4080). Congratulations on a great build though!

    Proliferation of Type C ports/devices... yet motherboards/cases are slow to catch up.

    Exactly.. Everything I'm connecting won't saturate a 10Gbit pipe.. I am currently dedicating my sole USB-C connection to its own hub for attachments of my External Drives (NVME, SATA, etc.)

    Proliferation of Type C ports/devices... yet motherboards/cases are slow to catch up.

    I am still heavily using USB A interfaces.. On my systems I have anywhere from 6 to 10 USB cables coming out of the back for various devices and whatnot. Only recently have I been utilizing USB C connections more and more. A few more than 1 port in the back of the motherboard would be nice.

    ASRock Phantom Gaming Z790 RIPTIDE WIFI Motherboard Review

    Yeah.. Intel was on the PCIe limiting bandwagon a while ago. Sadly, AMD followed suit shortly thereafter. Your only saving-grace if you're looking for more PCIe lanes is to go the Server Motherboard route or HEDT with AMD's Threadripper series.

    Building to building wireless link

    Very short... We're talking ~200Ft. for one beam, and ~150Ft. for another. Signal strength for both hover around the -52 to -56db range. I could aim them better, but they are both performing rock solid.. Do NOT try to do a beam connection through a surface (glass, wall, etc.) These units...

    Building to building wireless link

    The one thing I've noticed with 2.4Ghz networks, is that they perform horribly if there is the slightest inkling of interference (other 2.4Ghz bands, etc.) As long as your connection is solid and the bandwidth fits your use-case, congratulations!! I've got multiple building to building links...

    Now I need to figure out how to justify to my boss why I need one of these.. Sometimes, working for a Non-Profit can suck (This being one of those instances).

    My bad.. Yeah.. You're good to go there..

    Rate my budget workstation build

    Arctic Cooling has nice coolers.. I'm sure it's more than sufficient for the 13600KF part. You could save some $$ by shifting to a 240MM cooler vs. the 360MM cooler.. As for the 3060 vs 4060, they both perform similarly.. Whichever you can get cheaper is the one I'd go with..

    That's not bad. Similar to something I'm looking to put together for my wife as a replacement for her aging i7-4790.. I'm going the route of an: Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX AMD R5 7600X Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML240L RGB V2 G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory MSI GAMING...

    MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI Motherboard Review

    Yeah. I was kinda taken-aback at the level of complaints made against the current Intel i225/i226 solutions. Intel used to have rock solid adapters, and was what you'd strive for getting.

    1STPLAYER STEAMPUNK 850W Power Supply Review

    Thanks for the review Paul! When I first saw the Overall Score box at zero, I figured maybe he didn't enter any scores in. Then I read the WHOLE article, and "Holy Hell" only puts it mildly. There were moments where I flat out laughed (Probably louder than needed but my lord). I'm...

    Starlink

    Latency was 30-40ms. Not all that shabby at all.

    Starlink

    As of this past weekend, I'm still receiving approximately 80Mbit down and 10Mbit up on my Starlink system. Was hoping the upstream got a little bit better but overall the service works well.

    Samsung Teases 4 TB 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

    How is a 4TB NVME drive a "Tease"?? There's over 10 Gen4 4TB drives on the market already... Samsung is irrelevant in the NVME world these days (especially with their bumbling of the 980 / 990 pro failures theirs experienced in the past)
