Yes
How long was your back order time? I had bought an "in stock" CPU block and that took 3 months (it wasn't in stock).

I feel like I need a side by side comparison of a PC that has a water cooled 13900 and a water cooled Strix 4090. My newest setup is all air cooled and unless Im stress testing the CPU - I never see any obnoxious temperatures. (13900 is just scary on a stress test. Thing fucking super nova's and looking it up, thats suppose to be "normal.")
I know there are benefits to having a lower temperature, obviously. But to see them in action, side by side, would cement water cooling as necessary or not.

I have been slow building this on the side for a couple months now mainly because dumb costly and I want it a certain way. It should be done in under a week or so.
as for the question on the Optimus, I actually had it shipped the very next day overnighted.
Everything is push/pull using T-30s and Scythe Kaze slims. Bottom and rear are intake with top being exhaust. I am considering putting a couple Scythe on the side to be intake also as I plan to did a way to seal as many mesh points as possible.
Most aspects of this build is a bit of an experiment, but luckily for me and unluckily for PerformancePCparts, they keep having me make small orders and go pick them up
Also, not sure how I bothered using anything but this for cutting tubes and haters.

Didn the fat guy that went tranny basically say the same thing? As if ANYONE would have given two flying fucks about that fat fucking piece of garbage without LTT, even with his big brain knowledge on Linux.

idk, i haven't seen fat tranny in a while, it's usually linus w/ the other fat, but not super fat blond guy
ok from what i see, looks like ltt called out pc jesus for limited hardware testing (like anyone really gives a shit???, but i'm sure we all trust pc jesus more than janky ltt anyway)
so pc jesus is this reply
and now ltt disteners are voicing their opinions
jesus christ this ltt ceo has zero charisma

Looking for a recommendation on a cheap desktop for old people. My folks only use their computer for internet and streaming movies. Their 20 year old desktop is slow as shit and the latest update they tried to install killed their sound. I’ve tried everything I can think of, including update rollback, but it’s borked.
TLDR: need a cheap desktop for old people that just needs to be reliable and fast…or maybe a big-screened chrome book type laptop would be better?

yea for old ppl just get a chromebook, they just use it for internet, gmail and youtube anyway
i mean is there any windows program they are using that you can't put on a chrome book?
yea, nope
or get them a firehd 10in for 150bucks and buy a bt keyboard/cover for 30bucks, and then they are also in the amazon ecosystem (buy them amazon movies/kindle etc)

Thanks. Any specific chrome book you’d recommend for them? Dad insists on a big screen (at least 17 in) but that’s huuuge for something intended to be portable.yea for old ppl just get a chromebook, they just use it for internet, gmail and youtube anyway

not really, acer has some 17in models, your best bet is to go for an acer or lenovo, the acer 17in is under 400bucks so it won't even break the bank
just remember to not get the one that is "for gaming" b/c usually the gaming will make the chrome book not touchscreen, and old ppl love to use the chrome book as a touch screen too.
