    I'm seeking any information anyone has read or tested themselves regarding how much wattage (volts x amps) the latest type-c motherboard headers provide for device charging purposes. In the official USB literature linked below I can only find 3 Amps listed on the last page, but nothing about Voltage is specified. https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB3p1_Front_Panel_CabCon_Implment_Doc_Rev1p1.pdf I'm wondering exactly how good these ports are for charging phones and tablets. If anyone has the right electrical meters to test this themselves, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I know it's possible to measure this with the right tools. Is there a place on this forum where I could put out such a request?

    Wow, that's a very detailed document. Thank you for providing that. I'm kind of surprised we've had these on motherboards for 3 years now without anyone wondering about how much current it supplies for device charging...

    I'm hoping to fast charge my iPhone or iPad Pro off of a front panel type c port to remove the need for a power brick near my desk, but I can't find any specs about how many watts these ports deliver from those new motherboard headers. Are they supplying anywhere near the 18w minimum that iPhones and iPads use for fast charging?

    Thanks for the great ideas everyone! I like the idea of working for a custom computer manufacturer like Puget, possibly designing configurations of systems. I love pushing the limit of small form factor, high performance PCs. Plus I have small hands, perfect for putting together difficult specialty systems, hehe

    Hi all! I'm an architect in training who's thinking about how to incorporate my tech skills with my career. Right now I'm doing IT work for my architect boss, but I'd like to kick it up a notch. Does anyone know of any companies that regularly recruit draftsmen, architects, etc. to design their components? I'm mostly interested in case design, but I also love putting together parts lists and assembling computers.

    Do you make custom lightsaber replicas? Those are really cool. And I can see how that would be hard to get a client base - those things can get expensive.
  8. MuffinManDan
    If I can get semi-regular work doing that, I would be very happy. I just don't have the client base right now...

    I probably don't have a large enough portfolio yet to convince a company to let me do my thing. I do have some fabrication experience, mostly with architecture, but a little with computers too. I'll have to look into industrial design though, it seems like that could be a promising career. Thanks!

    Hi all, I'm an architect in training who recently graduated college and is working at an architecture firm, but I'm starting to realize that my passion for design may be able to be fused with my passion for building computers. I specialize in making my builds beautiful inside and out, a lot like how architects do so with their buildings. My question for you all is this: is there a career out there that would allow me to design and/or build beautiful computers as a full-time gig? I don't really know where to start looking for something like this, so if anyone has any personal experiences that offer insight I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Cheers!

    Primarily rendering within Revit, then Photoshop for post-processing and entourage.

    It's nice, but investing in ECC has the best ROI when it's in a server configuration, not and end-user workstation. My boss is also in need of a new file server, so we'll probably go with Xeon or Threadripper for that, depending on how thst release goes.

    It has a 6800k and a GTX 1060. I just finished building it yesterday and I set it all up today. Should be a reliable workhorse for years to come.

    It's all good, I appreciate the suggestion. If nothing else it's great that there are other systems to suggest now that can compete with Intel.

    Thanks for the clarification! That's the clearest answer anyone has given me.
