Yeah this idea is pretty much just nonsense due to the amount of work and the very small audience it would be aimed at. VMS are the answer here. Thats quite literally it. Dual OS trying to use resources just wouldnt go so well. There has to be a division of resources (hence why VMS exist) otherwise there will be a conflict. Its not a simple process, its far more complex than that.
 
Something Has to sort out which OS has what resources, if you can divide them up in BIOS then it could feasibly work, have OS #1 us DDR Channel 1+3, OS2 use DDR 2+4. Have OS Use Cores 0-7, OS 2 use 8-15 etc. But that may be asking a lot of most BIOS chips, it would have to be increased in size quite a bit. 
 
Youd have to get a MOBO vendor to be on board and program that, spend the time making sure it works and fix potential issues, Fix when updating the bios to try saving settings etc.

No. Never works like that with Nvidia. They dont discount, they just wait till they are out of stock. Especially since its probably going to be a repeat, 5090/5080 launch first, then after 6 months -1Y 5060/5070. Only if they have an extreme over abundance of stock will they slightly discount it.

If you are just gaming, 7800x3d. 7950x is pointless for gaming.
 
7900xtx isnt bad, but those 3 games dont really require the top of line line hardware to actually run.

leaves you with 1000$ for Monitor+Keyboard+mouse.

you dont need to have 3 topics on the same plug. Just take off the cooler and plug it in. Stop being lazy.

Pretty much anyone with any ounce of logic will tell you its not worth it. Its just another addition to the pile of HMD that did nothing to change the space.
 
It wont change anyone's day to day life. There are VERY little pros of it at this point, mostly cons. Give it a year or two, then we will see more pros come out for it.
 
As of right now, its to be treated as a beta testing phase that some devs will buy to try and making things for it, for everyone else its useless.
 
IT should never be considered by the vast majority of people. It offers nothing that makes it worth 3500$. This will either be one of apples quickest launches to dead product, or something that just gets shoveled quite a lot of money for the extremely tiny audience it has.

Most are giant vulnerabilities so generally its a "well who do you trust?"
 
Nord absolutely not. They spend way more on advertising then their actual product. Never trust Nord.
 
Avoid Last pass, and you can always just check them one by one with "Breach" to see if theyve been compromised or name changed due to a previous compromise.
 
 

Upgrade path on Dell prebuilts can be extremely painful and tedious. You may only be able to upgrade to a 6700, Maybe the 6700k but not sure exactly what board they used. And i would stick with something like  a 3060 at most. 
 
Honestly speaking, unless you get the 6700/6700k for REAL cheap, its probably not worth it. 

Sounds like you want to pretty much cheat in games without having to aim. Flat lines like that generally dont work well to begin with if you have to adjust any sort of height difference. Flat line aiming also tends to get flagged for aim bot/aim assist. If thats where you going to utilize it.

Thats not a crazy temp spike. Crazy would be going from 40-50s to 95-100c doing that. Anything under 75c is pretty normal for loading apps, having downloads going etc.
 
Intel has the exact same tendencies when opening up stuff and downloading.
 
Its absolutely normal behavior.

More then likely? No the scratch is not enough of a difference to cause a difference in thermals.

You wont be damaging your CPU by getting to 90c. They are rated to run at 95c.
 
In bios its under the fan profile just set it to 100%.
 
Or download a program called Fan Control and do it in the OS

for 200$ I would say no. Not really worth your time if youve never done that before since you are potentially buying someone elses problem.

Stop updating so damn much o.o You should not need to do that. Unless you are having issues, what exactly is the point of doing this? Most of the time these fixes are for known bugs and or QOL and other fixes. But unless you are having those issues, you dont need to keep constantly doing that.

What exactly are you doing? If you are gaming get a 7800x3D, If you are doing work  get a 7950x. Do not get the 7950x3D as its known to have issues getting it to work properly, if you dont know what you are doing its not the route to go.
 
If you are doing work, get a 4080 Super over the 7900xtx, if you are gaming its a toss up between the two, if you want ray tracing go Nvidia, since that 7900XTX you chose is 180$ over a MSI Gaming TRIO (get the MSI one) as that asus one doesnt perform any better then it.

Really depends on how good you are and if you are into competitive play. If you are just a casual, theres  really not much of a point over spending.
 
Is there a big difference? Depends on your eyes and how you handle it. I see the uplift going from 144 to 240 to 360 hz, some people its not as noticeable. The response time is better so that will be an improvement, but unless you are able to actually utilize it, not by much.

Why exactly are you doing this in the first place? Unless you are having thermal issues you dont need to change the paste for a few years. It hasnt been 3-4 years where the paste starts drying out o.o
 
As far as safety, its non conductive so it should be fine.

Dont bother Overclocking. Just do voltage tuning. If its not your computer, dont OC. Youll be the one having to deal with all the issues that arise from that.
 
Otherwise besides the power settings for GPU/CPU in windows, it just comes down to what things he actually does with the computer. For the most part once you have all the drivers and such installed, thats pretty much it for casual users. You want rock solid stability with this system rather then the absolute most performance, since they are not going to notice the marginal gains that comes with that type of stuff.
