Have people looked into retrofitting GaN type power supplies for them? Are they too noisy? That's a really nice setup.

Those are some high class knobs there, what are you driving?

They are just so out of the norm, they are not rounded, you would be asking for trouble.

The spacing and size of the pads is not designed for that. I think the surface tension of the odd shape and the difficulty in heating that size pad is going to do you in.

So you have a 25W headroom over me and probably a slightly better binned chip. It's just a basic copper cold plate on the Reaper (image courtesy of squarkingcrow on ocuk forums).

2-3 chips and the facilities required to attach a silicon die to a package are horrendously expensive, it's in a different league to soldering a BGA package to a board.

Virgin router is in modem only mode.

You get used to the higher frame rate for sure, going to work and using a 60Hz monitor feels odd on the desktop compared to the 160Hz at home.

The CPU pinout on the bottom is not designed as a solder contact on the desktop chips. You can get the HX chips that are this (see the minis forum boards) but there is bios compatbility to think about there. You'd also need an interposer to go from whatever socket pingout to BGA of the chip...

Is yours one of the higher TDP models?

These are my latest set of values I am using for long term testing. Here are some of my top scores: Steel Nomad https://www.3dmark.com/sn/4362981 Time Spy: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/54009230 Time Spy Extreme: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/54009073 I am seeing about 450W max draw from the wall...

Did a refresh on the build, now with: Loque Ghost S1 with top and bottom extended hats. Ryzen 7 7700 with Thermalright 240MM AIO at the top venting up Asus B650E-I 48GB (2x24) DDR5 6000 CL36 Powercolor Radeon RX 9070XT Reaper 2TB T500 M.2 (Primary OS) + 2TB SN770 M.2 AX211 Intel Wifi card (It's...

Upgraded to a unifi 2.5Gb home network and snagged myself a 9070XT reaper.

Yeah, everyone is at least entitled to a refund that would be the bare minimum.

Oh interesting, on the other hand the strix halo is a new I/O die they can connect to, so they would be able to pair that with x3d CCDs, I think it's unlikely they will still as it would only improve CPU performance which they will have enough of already. But they could if someone actually...
