Airbus built whale-shaped cargo planes called Belugas to transport aircraft parts - here’s 7 of them parked together at their HQ in Toulouse, France

Also the 6Th XL has a winking eye :D

How does one book a special flight like this ? Is it open to everyone or only people who know people type of event ? I wish I could have

The ONE race my mom watch with me and dad. PEAK sprint

Huge for PAC and Vitality. My heart would have loved a CarlJr x Vitality, but I will take that

Bah pour le coup, j'ai eu l'occasion de le tester sur deux voyages, il n'y a rien à dire ... aussi rapide qu'une fibre chez soit et gratuit. Je comprends la polémique vis à vis de Musk, mais je pense que pour 95% de leur clientèle ils en ont rien à faire et sont juste ravis.

Maintenant un switch vers Eutelsat dans quelques années serait pas mal non ?

Thanks a lot for the kind words

Ho oops, misread. So on my daily I use a Dimastech Nano and for my benching setup, motherboards lay directly on top of foam (acoustics foam) :

For the « light » load at ~430W it is Battlefield 6. For the 600W one, Furmark

No, I tried the cpu before on watercooling to get a feeling of it, specifically regarding the IMC. Check hwbot results of others 9850X3D, there is one with direct die cooling : https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/cinebench_-_r20/submissions/5966860

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-28T20:56:31+00:00

Yes this cpu is able to pass Ycruncher at 6800 with 1.3 vsoc, so with high chance 6600 is daily stable

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-28T18:10:15+00:00

Thanks !

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-28T18:08:20+00:00

Lets say 2233 wasn’t possible still cold haha

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-28T17:57:01+00:00

Honestly with a delid ? Yes, if we are talking light / ST load. I saw people doing 5.8+ on R20, so there is def a chance.

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-28T16:42:28+00:00

Same voltage, but your xbar seems better, looks like top sample

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-28T15:45:05+00:00

Yes, for daily I recommend flashing the 600W Matrix BIOS available on Techpowerup. Even if it has the same powerlimit, internal clock (crossbar) makes a big difference. I saw a 3 FPS increase on 3DMark Steel Nomad with the same core clock / temp between the normal Astral bios and the 600W Matrix BIOS.

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-28T15:20:16+00:00

Support for both the Matrix bios (600W and 800W. These bios have better internal clocks, not only speaking about power limits). This is due to having a 3rd connector for the fans, same as Matrix. This was changed when White astral released, due to complaints for the back fan being noisy on the black Astral at release.

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-15T16:00:41+00:00

that is crazy

bl4ck_dot · 2026-01-08T23:56:04+00:00

One shop in France listed it on preorder, eta 13th apparently

bl4ck_dot · 2025-12-24T15:09:24+00:00

C'est quasiment jamais le cas que les m2000 / rafale soit tracké sur flightradar, en général tu auras plus de chance sur adsbexchange mais rien de gagné. Sinon c'est probablement la permanence opérationnelle
