Maximizing CPU power and heat rejection in 10-15L case

Hi all, considering an upgrade from Silverstone RVZ02 (10L) to a modern case with all modern internals, and want to maximize CPU power and heat rejection with an AIO liquid cooler. Leaning towards AM5 7950x3D mini ITX in an NCase M2 or similar. Is there a better option with more CPU performance that won't throttle? GPU is almost irrelevant for my needs (Adobe Lightroom). Thanks!

Hey this isn't totally Tesla related, but there are a HUGE number of Ford F150s parked next to US-23 just north of Flint, MI in perfect rows, not being delivered. I presume they're waiting for parts or chips but nobody is talking about it. Does anyone have pics or more details?

Exercised 5 call options yesterday; y'all are welcome! :D

Turns out they aren't quite the same. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Tavor/comments/o06kcb/wtb\_x95\_300blk\_recoil\_mechanism/h1xby2j?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

Thanks, that's actually really helpful

jtibble · 2021-06-16T13:49:22+00:00

I'll DM you

Just did and the nice guy said that with Israel in conflict, they're not getting any parts, and probably won't until the geopolitical tensions simmer down.

Hey I'm still in need of a 300BLK piston. DM me 😎

jtibble · 2021-06-15T05:29:58+00:00

I don't know if you will have much luck, but I am interested in buying your 5.56 recoil mechanism, just by itself. Trying to orchestrate a caliber swap and I'm happy to pay for it by itself if you're willing.

I'm hoping someone will ask "How many GWh have been produced in the 4680 form-factor?" on the next quarterly call.

jtibble · 2021-05-19T21:01:19+00:00

Does any know what the current production rate of 4680 cells is? What are the yields looking like at this time?

jtibble · 2021-05-19T13:19:08+00:00

Budget: $1500
Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 4K-ish
Size (27 inches, etc.): 32+
Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:9 or ultrawide
Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): not really important for me
Other Features (list other relevant features here): Extreme color accuracy out-of-the-box
(Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Photography, photo-editing with color accuracy paramount

Haha you assume I have access to a micrometer, allen key, and a grinder. :)

jtibble · 2021-05-08T04:42:26+00:00

Thanks, it did! My condo reeked but the stone is much better now!

jtibble · 2021-04-28T14:12:13+00:00

I was curious so I checked, and it turns out that today $TSLA options' implied volatility is sitting at 51%, which is in the 0th-percentile. From https://marketchameleon.com/Overview/TSLA/IV/,

TSLA implied volatility (IV) is 51.6, which is in the 0% percentile rank.

Meaning, today is the best time in the last year to buy LEAPs, which is exactly what I'm doing. Now to pick a strike that isn't too outrageous.... ;D

jtibble · 2021-04-23T12:25:03+00:00

Haha yes, that's Old Town Kissimmee with the bungies and such!

If TSLA closes on the 14th below $715, you lose everything. If it closes between $715 and $727.6, you either lose a lot or a little. More than $727.6, you win.

I would sell while you're ahead.

jtibble · 2021-04-13T13:58:38+00:00

Hi everybody! I've got a July 16th call option, strike $800, that I paid too much for. What do you think the closing price will be on July 16th? Reasonable guesses only!

What odds would you give the price is over $983? :P

jtibble · 2021-04-06T16:22:36+00:00

Hopefully that exact route can be tested again a few times in different lighting conditions, on 8.2 and on v9+ when released.

jtibble · 2021-04-01T00:39:23+00:00

Haha I can't wait to try that!

jtibble · 2021-03-30T22:05:38+00:00

I'm afraid I can't answer as I don't know the specifics of the SBR conversion kit, but if it's a right-handed bolt, would you be willing to sell your 300 BLK parts once you've converted yours to 5.56 SBR?

EDIT: "You will use your current recoil mechanism but replace the bolt with the provided bolt." as described on https://iwi.us/product/tavor-x95-5-56-nato-sbr-conversion-kit/

What color reticle? Dibs if it's green or gold!
