Yes, there are balancing mods and also cheats available. Check out http://community.simtropolis.com/

Summary 2003 city-building simulator SimCity 4 received a game changing mod recently. After modders found ways to leverage .dll injection into the game, a glut of new modifications never thought previously possible have been developed, culminating in this, an unlock mod that enables full 3D views in the game engine (the base game is locked to a 4-axis isometric view). Quotes My thoughts Having been a part of the SC4 (modding) community for over a decade this is a reflection of *years* of work put in by a host of talented people. While C:S 2 has its dramas, SimCity 4 continues on, being a well-played game over 2 decades since release. Sources https://gamerant.com/simcity-4-change-camera-angle-3d-mod/

Final Build (pictured next to its predecessor): AMD RYZEN 7900 (non-x) ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING WIFI AM5 mini ITX Motherboard Kingston SNV2S/1000G 1000G NV2 M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD Crucial CT2K16G48C40U5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 UDIMM 4800MHz CL40 INWIN Chopin MINI-ITX Black Chassis 150W PSU Noctua NH-L9a-AM4-CH-BK NH-L9a-AM4 Chromax Black Low Profile AM4 CPU (with AM5 adapter)

This is from Gigabyte's website. The board supports DP 1.4 over USB-C so it should work? The bit that is confusing me is the wording of video outputs but no discrete mention of how many displays it supports, either here or on the AMD website.

Thanks for all that above! Does confirm my suspicions that 120W is too low but 150W would be acceptable. Anyone know about these two q's? can the 7900(non-x) run two monitors off USB-C display output via monitor daisy chaining? does that motherboard definitely support the above config

Claims its only a 65W CPU (remember this is non-X 7900)! I'd be interested in any other cooler suggestions (I don't think an AIO will fit). I don't need long extended turbo CPU power - really only need short-shorter bursts (from like 20s to like 2 or 3 minutes), for compilation of code, in which case I'd be more than happy for the fan to ramp all the way up. I would expect the CPU and cooler to be basically silent most of the time without any undervolting. Noctua claims that cooler can handle a 7600X which has a far bigger TDP (yes yes I know TDP can be flawed but the 7600X is like 105W)

Thanks for all of your thoughts so far. This is what I have specced out currently - https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Q9Xvxs (no storage as I have some already). And I believe I need to request an adapter bracket from Noctua for AM5 but this seems to be an ideal system. ~3L box Unfortunately not fanless but should be able to quieten the CPU fan I would guess running the 120W DC power supply you can get with that case would be too close to the power requirements of the system, hence the internal 150W adapter but I would like to hear your thoughts - if possible that would be preferable since its fanless (120W, 19Vdc, 6.3A) 7000 series CPU USB-C DisplayLink motherboard (or appears to be anyway) The only things I am not 100% confident on are: PSU (as above) can the 7900(non-x) run two monitors off USB-C display output via monitor daisy chaining? does that motherboard definitely support the above config

Hi, I'm trying to ascertain whether my ideal config is even possible, I must admit I'm a bit out of my depth in the SFF space but I'd like to move from AIO contained units like Intel's NUCs into an SFF with off the shelf parts. My basic requirements are: Ideally fanless (both PSU and CPU, is this even possible? are there 65W heatsinks or would I need a small noctua fan) Mini-ITX motherboard Ryzen 7000 series (non-x) processor (65W) Motherboard with USB-C DisplayLink PSU could be internal (ideal) or external if thats the only option, should only need ~150W Don't need any GPU Fits into the smallest case possible (sub 5L basically) able to run VMs and run Silverblue on the host I'm located in Australia and the intended use case is a highly portable PC that can fit in a backpack with really good CPU power for program compilations and other professional workloads. Can anyone shed some light on whether this is even possible before I go diving into research or does anyone have any reccomendations? Cheers

I wonder if I'll have the first LTT backpack in Australia... got my email at 8:13am...

No currently I have two 16:9's but when I have used a single 21:9 in other places I have found the screen real estate to be not quite enough. Sorry it was a bit ambiguous above. I'm tossing up between 2 new 21:9s or one 32:9.

Its still less pixels than a 4k 16:9 monitor - and I'm planning on purchasing a 3080 regardless of my pick of monitor. I'm more concerned as to whether I should wait for anything upcoming rather or getting two 21:9s even.

I'm looking to get a 32:9 monitor, partly for work, and partly for play. I've used 2 1080p panels for many years so I have found a single 21:9 to be lacking hence the super ultra wide aspect ratio really catching my eye. However since I also want to use it for some gaming, I want 120hz (or more). This of course means the prices on these monitors are quite high so I want to ask some of the experts here before buying. I'm currently looking at getting a Samsung LC49RG90SSEXXY which is about $2k (AUD). It looks to be a fantastic option, ticks all the boxes I'm after. Other alternatives include the AOC AG493UC which is slightly cheaper. Is the Samsung my best bet? Or is there anything comparable on the horizon coming?

Hi all, I was obviously very intrigued by Linus' recent video on Hackintoshing via Qemu and had a couple of questions I'd love if someone knew the answers to. 1. Is it possible to do the Qemu/KVM VM for MAC OSX on a Windows 10 Host? If so is there a guide that fills in the gaps? I have done some cursory research and it seems to be possible but I'm not clever enough to piece it all together. 2. If not, is it possible to run it direct from bootloader (via Manjaro perhaps or similar) at system boot, if so how? 3. If so, is it possible to run 1 monitor with MAC OSX booted on one and Windows 10 on another (or possibly 2)? 4. If so, is it possible to run Windows 10 using my GTX 1660Ti (and possibly a secondary off iGPU) and boot MAC OSX and pass through a seperate GTX 750Ti from the same motherboard? I know some of those idea's seem far-fetched but who knows? Any help, tips, tricks, or guides would be greatly appreciated. I have done a traditional Hackintosh before so I somewhat know what I am doing and have had my fair share of troubleshooting problems, but don't hesitate to tell me those ideas are impractical or impossible. Thanks again for any responses (and move this if I put it in the wrong forum category, sorry).

That short throw feature looks amazing!

My poor old second hand G110 is failing and has retirement in sight. I will miss its 12 lovely macro keys but that is a small price to pay to move on from an ailing keyboard with less than spectacular keys.
