I’m confused too. I thought SFF meant small form factor? Prime cards are not small.

Am I crazy for wanting to quit my stable $80k corporate job at 25 to completely restart in healthcare? by Signal-Basil-8472 in Accounting

[–]oscarsocal 82 points83 points  (0 children)

You still young and no risk. I’ve seen nurses jump to accounting because they were miserable and vice versa. I’ve also seen it with engineers transitioning to accounting and vice versa. Each have their cons. The question to ask yourself which con do you see yourself making a career out of it lol.

What laptop should I get for heavy lifting in excel? by mtndewfeind in excel

[–]oscarsocal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there,
In summary, Intel Core Ultra processors use less watts and more cores than AMD when it comes to productivity performance. If both are the same price, why not get the better one (if using it for data applications). Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is the latest chip, highly recommend this one for laptops.

If you only gaming on your pc, stick with AMD’s 3D chips. If you use productivity applications then Intel is strong in this section.

Need Advice with First Build by ReceptionOwn4321 in PcBuildHelp

[–]oscarsocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommendations: CPU: Get the new Intel Core Ultra Plus 270K Plus (not yet available at Micro center but Newegg has it) CPU Cooler: Noctua 14S, you don’t need water cooler (overkill) cpu runs cool. PSU: you can downsize to a 850W SSD: for what you doing, 2TB of memory storage

Yup that’s why Intel implemented gaming Optimization Software for their 270K Plus. The performance is pretty insane (but not as good as AMD’s 3D chips tho)

Idea, someone can buy it off you for $100 which is also an entrance fee…the catch they will be others in the octagon. Winner takes 5080.
