Yeah i figured the cooler i have wouldn't do too well cooling an overclocked 130W TDP CPU.

Running prime95 pushes temperatures to around 90° within a couple of minutes if i recall correctly and after that it starts throttling pretty hard.

Hey guys just a quick question about the temps for my i7 3820. I've currently got an i7 3820 that's running at 4.4ghz at a voltage of 1.21V, at idle i get temperatures of around 40 degrees celsius and when running games it's around 70 degrees (~40% CPU usage). Ambient temperature when these temperatures were recorded was around 23 degrees celsius. It's in a Define R5 with three 140mm fans (2 intake, 1 exhaust) running at 100% speed and the cooler is an ARCTIC Freezer i30 that runs at 100% fan speed at all times also. Do these temperatures seem normal considering the scenario or is the CPU running a bit hot? If these temperatures are normal would replacing the current cooler with something like a Noctua NH-D15 make a significant difference in temperatures?

I personally have always had dual monitors that are the same resolution and size but having 2 different resolution monitors is fine, if I were you I would just buy a cheap 60hz 24 inch 1080p display as a secondary monitor. Possibly a IPS panel as it's a second monitor and depending on your setup you may benefit from the improved viewing angles if you're not looking at it straight on.

Plantronic BackBeat FIT are decent if you're looking for earbuds rather than IEMs. They sound good enough for working out with and don't isolate background noise which can be handy if you want to be able to hear whats going on around you.

I guess it depends on what you'll be using it for and what you have currently. Personally I use a Dell 27" 2560x1440 monitor as a second monitor in portrait mode.

I'm currently on iOS 11. I have noticed that with iOS 11 the action centre toggle for BT doesn't actually disable BT, the Apple Pencil remains connected even with BT toggled off in the action centre. I've found this to be a pain as now when I want to disconnect the Apple Pencil to reduce standby drain I either have to open the settings application and turn off BT there or enable airplane mode in the action centre. For some users this may be an improvement as you can toggle BT off to disconnect other devices such as wireless headphones while keeping the Apple Pencil connected. I've found that in my experience OneNote doesn't work all that great on the iPad due to the writing feel, compared to other note taking applications it just doesn't seem to feel as good to write with. My solution has been to use Notability or GoodNotes with Google Drive syncing enabled however a lot of iPad users have found that the cross platform compatibility of OneNote outweighs the negatives.

Recently bought an iPad Pro 12.9" and Apple Pencil for taking notes at university. Most of my note taking is maths related so typing notes isn't the best option for me. The iPad is pretty much the only experience I've had with digital note taking apart from a brief stint with a relative's SP3. If we're talking purely about the feel when writing I found that I preferred the iPad to the SP3 by a large margin, mainly due to latency. My handwriting is still a little messier on the iPad than on paper due to the reduced friction from writing on glass but its not a huge difference. I can't comment on how the writing experience is compared to newer surface products as I haven't spent much time with them. In terms of comfort I haven't had any issues with the Apple Pencil, I regularly spend 4+ hours writing with it at a time and it's no less comfortable than a normal pen for me. The lack of additional buttons on the Apple Pencil is annoying at first but you get used to it, I would still prefer a design like the surface pens though. Battery life also isn't that great on the Apple Pencils, I find that I need to charge it on almost a daily basis if I'm using it heavily. It does charge quickly though and you can always top it up by plugging it into the iPad itself. Another issue with the battery is standby drain, if you leave the pencil connected to the iPad it will remain active while it senses movement causing the battery to drain pretty quickly if you're storing it in a backpack or moving around with it. The solution to this is to disconnect the pencil by disabling bluetooth however this requires you to plug the pencil into the iPad every time you want to reconnect it. As long as you have a laptop or desktop the iPad is fine, I definitely wouldn't recommend trying to replace a computer with it due to the limitations imposed by IOS but it sounds like you understand that.
