sOme Tp4 benchies.
-Cpuz
9750h 4.0 ghz. (the disappointment) mobile chip
445 Single 0.111/mhz, 100%ipc
3552 Multi
4790k 4.8 ghz (the time traveler)
533 Single 0.111/mhz, 100%ipc
2673 Multi
9700x 5.75 ghz (fast but actually slow)
913 Single, 0.159/mhz, 143%ipc
9389 Multi
So Hades 2 actually runs kinda bad on older mobile cpu cuz of the frequency gate. Even though, the 9750h chip is the same chip as the 8700k which is very fast for its era capable of ALOT more.
Tp4 doesn't own 1, but @ 5.0 ghz,
8700k
595 Single, 0.119/mhz, 107%ipc
4435 Multi
Sniping:
5080 fe just had a restock on nvidia site just an hour or two ago. seemed fairly easy to check out, but I actually decided against it in the last moment. kind of an unnecessary switch for me, and I'd eat a few hundred dollars between selling my current 5070ti and moving to the 5080. I think the ram shortage will hit gpus soon, so purchasing now is a good hedge against that.
Leslieann:
Ram is expected to go up another 70%, so if you haven't bought it, do it now.
Also, GPUs will go way up, so will phones. There's a very real chance that 2027 phone models will be cut down and have ram closer to what was top several years ago.
And then it will bleed over into EVERYTHING.
Computer-Lab in Basement:
Just splurged on a new rig:
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + ASUS B650E-E TUF GAMING + Crucial Pro Overclocking 32 GB (2x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 <-- all from Micro Center bundle
Sapphire NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 9070 X Center
Samsung 9100 PRO 1 TB
MSI MPG A850GS 850w PSU
Running these in my old NZXT case with my old Corsair Hydro Series H60 cooler, until I replace them this weekend and finalize the build.
Decided to go for broke, with the impending hardware shortages prices are only going to go up, thanks AI

I think that glass PCs are stupid as long as motherboards and other parts aren't adapted for good cable routing. Most PCs look like rats nests inside anyway.
Anyway... I have a top-mounted PSU in my PC.
It is semi-passive, and almost never activates its own fan
The CPU cooler is mounted vertically, so it blows air through the PSU and out.
This means that there is only ever one fan active in the whole system, and it is therefore almost inaudible.
Note that the CPU fan is a Gentle Typhoon with ball bearings which can be mounted horizontally to blow upwards. Liquid bearing fans should only be mounted to blow sideways.
