you could just plug it into the L or R of the sub and you would have been done

Yes that's the only reason I could think of as well. For re-sale value 10900 might be better. One more question: Looking at the tables below, i'm a bit confused about all those different numbers and what exactly this all means. > Can I even expect to hit the higher coreclocks of the 10850k? As on B460 - according to MSI (first table) - I only get 255W which would result in a clock of 4.45ghz and not the max 4.5ghz. In that case the 10850k won't even be able to reach the 200mhz higher 4.7ghz clock (second table). Correct? > Thus, should I not go for a Z board if I would even want to put the 10850k to full use? (So just go for a 10900?) With a Z board I'm at the same price as an 5800x. If I would go this route, with the 80-100 watt lower power consumption on all core load (bottom table), this might make more sense. I wanted to have an Intel chip over AMD because of the iGPU. This makes it easier to use it in a pretty badass "home office" system without a GPU down the line after next upgrade. With an B340 board and I guess 10900 in that case, the Intel option is about €80 less expensive than AMD which seems like a decent deal. Sorry - Turned out to be a pretty big and perhaps confusion question Source: https://www.msi.com/blog/intel-b460-h410-power-limit-overclocking Source: https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-launches-core-i9-10850k-at-453-usd

Which one? Both are same price. I don't want to overclock. I will unlock the power limitations which will be max 210w on msi non-z.

Thanks, seems that $75 for 10gb with a one month "subscription" isn't that unreasonable in Canada. Right?

I'd get a 1tb SSD. 500 is full before you know it and you have to invest again or deal with seperate drives. For example kingston a1000. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/kingston-a1000-nvme-ssd,5631.html I'd also consider an MB with wifi and bluetooth built in instead of seperate card. For example the Gigabyte Aorus B450 I Pro WiFi is the cheapest M-itx board. I'd consider M-itx, so at your next upgrade cycle you'd be able to move it to a smaller case to use it as a mediaplayer or pretty competent TV-gaming machine. In that "case" you will also benefit from built in wifi/BT as expension cards won't fit. For example NODE 202 without GPU or NODE 304 if you want to fit a GPU as well. Might seem like I'm thinking ahead too much, but I wish I had with my current components as I made the same mistake...

Hi, Me and my gf are coming over to Canada in September for one month. What is the best/cheapest option for a data-plan? 10-15GB would be nice. Best we could find is 10GB prepaid for $75. https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-plans I've got paypal, creditcard and cash - but am open to other payment services if needed. - Netherlands

No root needed as I explained in my previous post

Easy: As an easy first solution you could try AccuBattery to find out if your phone enters deep sleep: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery. My deepsleep percentage - according to AccuBattery - on S8 is about 80-90% and I have no issues with battery life. Use wakelock detector to find the app which causes a low deepsleep percentage, if you don't just want to uninstall apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector.noroot Harder - more rigorous: You can use this tool from Google to get in depth battery data: https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/battery-historian Overview: https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/power/battery-historian It is used (/should be used) by Android developers and also contains a wakelock segment where you can find which apps acquire wakelocks per hour. No root needed. Basically, you generate a log-file from within dev-options and import it. There is also an online version where you can upload the bug report, so you don't have to build/deploy it yourself: https://bathist.ef.lc/ be aware of privacy though when using this online version.

Well yes, nobody. Though it would give some kind of way to intepreted the speed which I would found interesting to see.

Agree

You talk about real life performance, yet only showed us synthetic benchmarks instead of boottime in seconds. Why?
