The CPU is not supported on the motherboard. That's it.

Well, aren't they all PS exclusives? Get a PS5 or find a PS4 Pro for cheap after PS5 release.

7th gen CPU is not compatible with 300-series motherboard. The socket is the same but the pinout is different.

Basically, future Xbox games will likely be available on Windows PC as part of the Microsoft ecosystem, so PC + PS5 is the way to go.

A flexible ribbon-cable style PCIe extender should do. It can be bent into all shapes.

Biometric authentication, if implemented correctly, is comparably more secure than password-only. When combined with traditional username/password mechanism (Biometric as 2FA), will make a system more robust. Then again, as long as there's an pathway, however hard you try to secure it, there's always a flaw somewhere. You can always brute force or social engineer a compromise a password, or extract someone's fingerprint from an object or just cut it off to spoof biometric authentication.

Of course I know it's possible to do so through Package Power Tracking (PPT) in BIOS or "Eco Mode" in Ryzen Master. So why 3600 exists if you can just buy a 3600X and set it to 65 watt? The answer is yield, binning and market. AMD has some chiplets on hand that failed initial qualification to be a functional octo-core and again failed binning to be a proper 3600X, so they packaged them as 3600 to fulfil the sub-$250 price bracket ($200). The currently OEM-only 3900 is merely two of those chiplet on the same substrate with a tweaked clock speed. They could easily put them in a retail box and sell they at a $450 MSRP between 3800X ($400, fastest octo-core) and 3900X ($500, only AMD 12-core available).

Quick update: Turns out some of the projects now requires a "Consent" to export contribution data to external website. If you don't, they will just pull the data from stats website. By ticking the checkbox, the data sharing resumes and granted me 12 million in a day.

God I wish Ryzen 9 3900 (non-X) was released to retail. Even better, a lower binned 16-core 65-watt "3950". It make more sense to put a 65-watt chip in a laptop than a 105-watt 16-core monstrosity (or the same chip with hefty downclocking or significant power limit)

12VO PSU has been out there for a while now, but only for OEM and SI computers. These PSU are simpler and thus cheaper to manufacture/procure, also confront to the "low standby power" legal requirement for the machines they sell. Motherboard already has its own voltage regulator module (VRM) for many things, that's why CPU and RAM can operate a much lower voltage. It don't hurt much to add more. All they have to do is to modify the circuit tracing to facilitate the added components.

Sorry, but some of your claims just aren't correct. In the "Single Rail Power Supply ATX12VO Design Guide" by Intel, the connector is indeed defined as a 10-pin Molex connector which consists 10 pins. However, only pin 1,2,3,6,7,8 are necessary for the functioning of a 12-volt only system, pin 4,9 are optional for high power devices, pin 10 is only necessary when using remote load sensing. Hence it's possible for Dell to power a system with a single 6-pin connector. (Image take from here. Rotated for better viewing) The 6-pin connector Dell used is a proprietary Molex connector which is both mechanically (due to a different keying) and electrically (due to a different pinout) incompatible with the Intel-defined standardized connector or PCIe power connector. It's impossible to accidentally connect a PCIe power connector to this socket, nor can a standardized connector fit. (This also means this motherboard is only compatible with a Dell-branded 12VO PSU, making the upgrade possible somewhat limited.) What is the same as the current PCIe power connector, however, is actually the Extra Board Connector in the new ATX12VO standard (as detailed in the section 4.2.2.2 of the guide), which itself is the same as the current implementation of the older ATX12V standard.

In the very recent video, Riley called a new 12-volt only PSU "basement tier" without realizing its actual performance and legal implication. Make a Techquickie explaining the new PSU standard, i.e., ATX12VO and shows its (dis)advantages over the older ATX12V (with 24-pin connector) standard.

The power supply unit inside the PC is a actually a 12-volt only PSU following the new ATX12VO standard, which explains why it needs a breakout board for SATA power (no 3.3/5 volt output) and the seemingly low 360-watt rated output. It also means that the power supply is more efficient and offer super low standby power. Consider this: they use a mere 460-watt version of the same 12VO PSU, even if you manually configure the machine to the highest possible config (9900K+2080). Calling it "basement tier" clearly shows that you don't even follow the latest development in tech or understand the legal basis for Dell to make such decision. Maybe it's a good time for you to make a Techquickie for the new PSU standard. Edit note: Insert screenshot with highlight

A cargo airline with narrow-body freighters, ideally A320-P2F family (or B737-BCF), that offers flexible cargo routes. Currently, there's a need for rapid logistic for crisis response. You really don't need an entire 777F to fly a few pellet of medicine, that's why Wizzair Hungary flew an A321neo (unmodified) from Budapest to Shanghai (with a fuel stop in Astana) to pickup some face masks and medical supplies in both cabin and hold. Imagine what you can do with a full-on freighter with a main deck plus hold. Even after the pandemic passed, there's still a huge potential: overnight shipping. I believe there's a market between the trunk routes served by large freighters (Memphis-Anchorage or Louisville-London using a 767F or A300F) and the last-mile route served by small feeders (small town to focus city on a Cessna SkyCourier or ATR42F). Narrow-body freighters are ideal to serve a route with high volume demand but are not bulky or heavy enough to require an entire wide-body, mostly from warehouse to cities with high-volume online shopping transactions. Also, converted freighters are cheaper and more efficient to operate compared to large, dedicated freighters and legacy freighters. In your case, a hypothetical Nashville (close the the mean population center of US: reaches every one faster) hub would be compelling for serving state-side packet one-day shipping with selected routes to Huston, Chicago, etc. Later on more freighter can be added to the fleet to facilitate higher capacity. If pilots are Cross Crew Qualification (CQC) ready, then larger planes like A330F (757F if selected Boeing) can be ordered for longer routes or higher payload.

The fan on card in question is secured by only one screw so they can be easily removed, but the screw can become loosen over time and cause the fan to stop spinning. There's an illustration on the linked website demonstrating the removal process.

Check if the fan is installed correctly and making contacts. Your card features swappable fan which could become loose or making poor contact.

While Windows does support both ARM and X86 architectures, I couldn't imagine Apple decide to migrate to an entirely new architecture, especially for a product line with a "Pro" moniker where many existing professional software are still coded for X86 (except those cross-platform ready app like GarageBand) Plus, at this stage, Apple's custom processor is still not fast enough to be a laptop/desktop replacement. I reckon this will continue into 2021 given the recent stall in semiconductor and integrated circuit development unless we see a huge jump. If they were to use a custom processor, they would likely start from a low end product like Mac Mini (unlikely given the recent refresh) or Macbook (promising but need to resurrect the non-Air line). All these also do not account for other architecture(s), like RISC-V, which is more lean and optimized, but lacks Windows support.

ASPI is founded by the Australian government and partly funded by the Australian Department of Defence. It's a think tank rather than a news agency. To me, this does not look like "news" but rather an "original research". And I am not surprised with the content either: same old story we love to hate.

Make sure that you've actually installed Windows onto the Samsung drive because you have another SSD (MP510) with Windows image in the system. Then change the drive boot sequence/priority to the Windows Boot Manager on the Samsung drive.

Exactly which model did you purchase? If the card is similar to the reference model ("Founders Edition"), then the generic blocks from brands like EK should work no problem. Otherwise you may need a specialized or customized block.

Don't buy QQBY. It's a essentially an early 9900K on P0 stepping, with anecdotal evidence suggesting an AVX offset bug (-1 or default to base clock) since 2018/02 microcode and a conflict with certain PCIe devices. Find a QQZ4 if possible. It's on R0 stepping which fix those issues. In general those ES chips are clocked lower than retail chip (QQZ4: 3.1 - 4.5, 9900K: 3.6 - 5.0), but since QQBY/QQZ4 is unlocked, you can manually overclocked it to match the retail chip.

I am a big FAN of fanless systems. Also, it reminds me of a certain Streacom case somehow.

You can just buy red coolant premix or concentrate from EK.
