  1. Budget (USD): ~$2500 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: MacOS Required, Full stack JS Workload (Node, Docker, Slack, Zoom, Postman, web browsers, Databases, Evernote, ect..) Other details : Currently have a 2020 intel Macbook pro (i5 -8GB) Plugged into a Thunderbolt enclosure with a (RX480) to run my 2 monitors and a built in hub for usb and network connections. (hoping to add another monitor in the future) I am in need of upgrading my ~2 year old Macbook. The poor performance form the i5 and low RAM limitation cause many stutters and beachballs when I have everything running at full tilt. I need better single core performance and more ram, at least 16GB. I would also prefer a laptop because I'm occasionally forced to work away from my desk. I actually have a 14" Macbook pro (M1 Pro -10 core CPU, 14 core GPU, 32GB RAM, 512SSD) for about $2600 on order, but it does not even ship until the end of the month. I need a replacement like yesterday because this is my work machine, so i have been looking for alternatives. I found some 2019 16" Macbook pros (i7, 16GB, 512SSD) for $2000-$2400 on the apple refurb store that I can get here in 2-3 days. On one hand I should be able to use the newer mac for at least 5-6 years easy assuming nothing dies, but it does not work with my thunderbolt setup at all and I will suffer in the meantime. On the other hand I can get a *decent machine that should work with my Thunderbolt stuff that will be here quickly and has a larger screen, but it is older could have potential battery problems and likely will be thermally restricted (i7 go brrr). So my question, Should I hold out and suffer for 3-4 weeks while my order goes through or cancel and just order one of the refurbed 16" macbook pros. Will I be missing out on anything if I don't get the newer macbook?
  2. I thought of adding more fans the problem is that I only have 1 more fan header on my dog shit motherboard (Insert regret here, asus b450 TUF) I know I am pretty close to My thermal limit but I don't know how many "theoretical" watts of cooling I have VS what I would need.
  3. Does anyone know how much more heat the 2080 puts out than the 2070? Thinking about upgrading to a 2080 and wondering if it will heat saturate my loop. Context: I have a R6 2600X mostly stock and a 2070 in a Custom loop with 1 240mm standard thickness Radiator and 2 120mm fans on it. (the only fans in the system) Case is a corsair crystal 280X, so not much room for more radiator space. I think I can fit another 120 but I don't think i can fit a fan on it. I used battlefield V on High 1440p for my temp benchmarks 2600x Never goes above 75C and hovers around 70C under load (keep in mind I have overdrive cranked in ryzen master so my power limits are really high) 2070 usually static at 80-82 under load because of GPU boost or whatever My concern is that a 2080 is going to drive my CPU temps to high 80s and 90s? How much more heat does a 2080 put out? (I attached a photo for more context)
  4. In some games packet loss can look like a stutter. Every game handles it differently. try an offline game and see what happens maybe?
  5. bang for the buck right now is ryzen 7 2700x and 2700 since they are about $250 because ryzen 3000 is out (out of stock that is ;P). Intel is also starting dropping the prices on the 9700k if you want to go that way, I think its down to like $350 ish (was $420) the original rtx 2060,2070,and 2080 are all on clearance now because of the "super" series, so those are a good deal right now (does anyone even care about ray tracing?) The new Radeon cards are alright mid tier cards but the OEM Blower coolers that they come with are ass, and partner cards wont be out for a couple of weeks. So i would stay away from those for now
  6. Rent a Virtual Machine hosted in the cloud somewhere and run the server off of that, Doesnt minecraft let you rent server specifically for mine craft or something?
  7. you can run a psu over its advertised rating but it probably wont last long and sometimes wont even turn on.
  8. I made a VBS script that auto kills the windows 10 update service every 15 minutes. It runs every 15 minutes because there is also a "medic" process that checks if its running and tries to restart it. This can also be a .BAT but I made it a VBS so it can run without a Command window opening up. The interval can also be less frequent but I really hate windows updates. Const HIDDEN_WINDOW = 12 strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set objStartup = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ProcessStartup") Set objConfig = objStartup.SpawnInstance_ objConfig.ShowWindow = HIDDEN_WINDOW Set objProcess = GetObject("winmgmts:root\cimv2:Win32_Process") errReturn = objProcess.Create("PATH TO BAT FILE GOES HERE", null, objConfig, intProcessID)
  9. There are drivers but when I had a RX 480 the video drivers would break my install like 75% of the time So it might take you a could tried to find a version that work and longer if it is your first Linux system Nvidia is alot better, They already have an OK driver for my RTX 2070 even though I was having problem with the X86 steam package, Somthing about my drivers wanting the x64 version of steam but the ubunutu core only wanting the x86 version (I blame old version of KDE and its shitty out of dateness)
  10. Depends how far away you are sitting from it. If your one of those poeple that sits at a desk and basically uses it as a PC then yeah get a monitor. If its more of a living room setup then get a tv
  11. DO NOT GET THE TV. TVs and monitors are very different things. A TV up close looks like it has a screen door in front of it (it doesn't matter if its 4k the pixels are still huge)
  12. what about the 4/8 pin CPU power ? or was that what you just checked?
  13. MSI Presige Series Laptops (especially PE Modern (black/blue) One of my favorite laptops). I think they only go up to a 8th gen i7/1060 though
