    People struggling to go a week without one group of youtube channels is mildly concerning. What do you guys do when you aren't home. Go camping some place, do you take your whole computer setup?

    Just for me to understand, looking at the real and assumed incidents, scale, and everything, if you "punish" a company somehow affiliated with Linus, what would be a brand that you would buy hardware from? I'd definitely rule out all of the Big Techs, right? And probably any company using an ODM in China, right?
     
    I do understand the emotions boiling up and all, but I ask myself you live your life with the level of morale your obviously applying to your purchases? Or is it okay as long as you don't know about it? If that is triggering your cancel reflex, how do you buy fashion? Or food?

    This topic will likely be locked/deleted but I want to make sure anybody reading this understands LMG is more than just Linus. If you want to buy the products, buy the products. If you want to still consume their content, do so. There are 100+ other non-Linus people working for LMG that likely are not part of the core issues being addressed right now.

    Just be aware that for AM5 you can only use DDR5 RAM. 
     
    And yeah, you'll probably have lower temps with less noise with a thick 120x120 rad with a 7950x3D running at stock vs a 13900k with a double or triple rad. Having under half the heat dump helps. The 13900k is a hair more efficient at low load though but that is probably a non issue. 
     
    The x3D parts are intentionally run at lower voltages. 
    Though setting a power limit on the 13900k is also viable. You don't give up much performance.

    Honestly not really much you can do except custom making brackets.
     
    Simply put no matter what you do you will need to put in some time making a gpu holder that is STURDY AF. Because the 4090 WILL come loose.
     
    Basically I'd ask a boutique builder to make a special itx rig that can be held togheter strongly.
     
    Removing it is also not a real option forever as a pcie slot is only meant to be plugged/unplugged about 20 times before it degrades. I have seen multiple systems over the years where the connectors simply wore out. Same for me on my gpu tester rig I went though quite a few boards over the years before I found a good cheap replaceable pcie extender. However the pads on the gpu will also wear out
     
    As for cpu the 13900k is basically not coolable unless you have BEYOND top tier cooling or start undervolting it. In your case you'd want at least some thermal headroom so I'd say overspend on cooling and undervolt if you opt for the 13900.

    Also here is a generic case that will fit your stuff. I can see making a metal frame that sits FIRMLY against the gpu OR using a pcie extender on a matx/itx board. Basically making a cage the gpu can NOT move from.
     
    As for cooler oddly enough an aio would probably be best here and depending on if noise is a concern or not I'd opt for some actual delta fans. They need 24v but there are plenty 12v sata -> 24v fan convertor options out there. or they require higher amperage and use 12v which there are also boards for.

    RPM isn't everything... Here is a side by side comparison someone did for ironwolf and Red
    Granted it may have not been scientific but it it seems in that test Seagate kicked WD's butt in the speed test. 
     
    I went with Ironwolf drives for the simple fact that I got them at a good price. They're a lot faster than the ancient 7200RPM drives they replaced even though they're 5400RPM drives. I can't really comment on the noise of the drives because I can't hear them at all over the server fan noise.
