https://www.pcworld.com/article/1359352/cool-down-a-deep-dive-into-13900k-power-use-and-efficiency.html Yeah, totally doesn't suck 20% more power. 12900K capping around 240-260 watts with whatever boosting alg it was using, TVB2 pt whatever; 13900K pulling an extra fifty watts with the TVB3...

At only 20% higher TVB3 power consumption! Time to start making those 280x280 AIOs driven by outdoor water feature fountain pumps as I've codgered about before Corsair, Arctic, etc etc my water cooling friends! Dissipating 400 watts for max continuous TVB3 is, like the moon, gonna be a harsh...

PL1-2 locked at only 250 watts for marginal gains in synthetic tests. Forget 420 AIOs, these are gonna need 280x280 AIOs with outdoor fountain pumps to drive the coolant through the loop for full unlocked (PL3?) TVB (thermonuclear velocity boost). Remember the 10980XE reviews that showed...

Having been an industrial electronics/electrical technician for over twenty years I can say there's multiple GENERAL issues with the way PSU cables are designed. First off, the IEC has been allowing 40 amps as a standard "limit" on 12VDC line far too long. Look up any Electrical engineering...

Or, you know, don't put the side panel on the case. Ever. I've been building for nigh on twenty years and the first thing that's cast in the pitch is the stupid useless side panel. Stick a standard table fan in front of the open case interior and boom automatic hundred+ dollars savings on a...

There's definitely something wrong with the higher tier CyberPower UPSes since at least 2016. over twenty+ years I've gone through several UPSes, the first high capacity one I got was the old gray-box CB 1500 something-or other in about '03 maybe. That one lasted through three lead acid...
