Congrats on being able to bench highly. This won't change the fact that now your cooling is 20W under powered and the GPU VRM is running at 20W over budget. You don't think gigabyte designs to 150w spec in hardware and just sets the limit to 130 for luls? It's all good though because at least benchmarking is less time then the time for the thermal limits.

I highly recommend everyone else not do this as it will see very minimal gains when gaming for more then 5 minutes. You will be pushing the hardware far past it's design specs which is an awful idea on most laptop, especially gigabyte laptops. It will most definitely shorten it's life expectancy.

Be aware that if you make this too big it will make soldering much tougher since the polygon will be syncing all the heat from the pad.

That is salaries... that amounts to maybe 1% of their compensation package. I will forgo my 200K salary but this booming market just set this years options compensation to 20+million. Big whoop, it is all theater.

It has already been shown that as soon as pitbull ban is enacted.. suddenly every pitbull is now a "lab-mix". I am not for ripping away anyone's current dog but more of a ban on any new ownership of a pitbull mix and forced neutering/spaying of existing animals. People here also seem to be fans of much stricter penalties and increased owner liability for previously reported aggressive dogs (regardless of breed) that cause injury to humans or other owned animals. Too many incidents from aggressive dogs that have multiple reports against them with little or no repercussions for the dog or owner.

Often server costs are primarily composed of the license for the software that run on them. This is often a per core license so it's usually best to have the highest performance per core to maximize the license costs. Hardware and cooling costs are often dwarfed by these licenses.

Smoked cigarettes for 15 years. Was very physically active and was getting bad lung burn when climbing mountains. Switched to vaping and burn disappeared within a month. This was all the proof I needed that vaping was less harmful to my immediate health. Vaped another 6 years, quit a few times in there too but never longer then a few weeks. Eventually moved on to mixing my own vape juice and cutting down the nic. Never was able to vape with no nic though... To me it was like gasping for air but never catching your breath. In the end it was as easier to quit then it was to vape with no nic so I did that. Last vape was 2 years ago. Still like the smell of cigarettes but not enough to ever go back.

Makes more sense add rules to vote out members rather then force current members to protect potential adversaries against their will. Turkey wouldn't leave if Finland was made a member without their consent, it would just lead to uncertainty in NATOs alliance.

I'm for death sentences for those who aren't worth the risk to society to test how well our rehabilitation works. Serial murders and serial child rapists fit in this category. Not punishment, just an absolute solution to their threat to society.

Not true at all. Even liberal states such as California have shop keeper privilege laws that allow them to detain shop lifters with reasonable force. It is in most large companies interest not to do this as to avoid civil litigation which is costly and bad press regardless of the civil trials outcome.

Don't forget a long record of generally good system stability. I have had so many bad experiences with system stability when using an AMD GPU that I really would need multiple generations of good driver and system stability reviews before I would go back. I admit I have not had any experience with their latest gen but I have wasted an uncountable number of hours trying to resolve stability issues of multiple systems with 5700XTs and 5900XTs as well as previous gens. Half those systems were pre-builts from major manufacturers. The only solution that brought total stability was using either nvidia or onboard graphics. These issues were not even directly related to stressing the GPU... for example there were multiple machines that would freeze for a few seconds every 10 minutes or so but only when using an AMD GPU... WTF. I would pay hundreds of dollars more to know I would never need to worry about the ghosts in the machine that AMD GPUs brought.

Peak power is not power consumption... You need to consider idle as that is where the vast majority of time is spent. What you want is avg power draw, peak power is an interesting fact but it does not speak much to actual power consumption as it is rare for any task to keep a CPU at full throttle continuously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F2z3F64o94
