ITX , R.I.P.
If you have no space for a decent desktop box in the vicinity of your workstation, why not just use a laptop?mITX boxes still tend to have a proper selection of ports for connecting all the peripherals that you'd need at a desktop.
Since I don't understand people's fascination with with Lilliputian keyboards (unless there is a genuine need for it) I am obviously having trouble understanding minuscule motherboards. If you have no space for a decent desktop box in the vicinity of your workstation, why not just use a laptop? With my last build I relegated my colossal tower to a secondary system but still bought a new case that accommodates a full-size motherboard. (and went from about half a dozen fans to about half that - counting only the primary fans that is)I'm not into ultra small keyboards and frankly I don't really consider them and ITX related, sure there's crossover, but the two are very different disciplines.
All 75+ pounds worth.
The reason you need half a dozen fans is because you have such a large case that you have dead spots without them
Both are throwing around a lot of BS.since the core2 era power has only went up, exception to bulldozer vs ryzen but that was like p4 vs core2, it has just went up really fast lately because, well, AMD has bought some competition to intel and nVidia, forcing everyone into a race, and the quickest and cheapest way to make more power is to eat more power (look at the pentium 4 for last time intel was under and bulldozer for AMD trying to keep up with intel for the 2010s, both ran at extremely high power and clock for their time to keep up)
I think both are powerhouses, both in performance and heat, however I also think this generation (and possibly going forward) is (arguably) trash.
We were supposed to be heading towards less and less watts and instead everyone seems to have decided the best way to go faster is just, more or less, overclock the ever living hell out of everything, regardless of heat and power requirements. Some are recommending a 1200 watt PSU for a 4080, what will they do next gen, 1500 watt power supplies? Enjoy using an entire power circuit just to run your gaming system. I can already hear the kids screaming at their moms for turning on a light and tripping the breaker, "MOM!"
Glass cases, R.I.P.

Your power bill, R.I.P.
A gaming room without dedicated air conditioning, R.I.P.
Your power bill and wallet, R.I.P.

The reason you need half a dozen fans is because you have such a large case that you have dead spots without themmy now old tower does have 6 fans, but it is for aesthetic more than anything else, the gpu is 250W with a blower and the cpu 50W, so one fan would have been enough but would not have looked as good (it is an InWin 101 with Lian-Li aluminum fans)
I suspect your low wattage cpu is doing you a few favors.
Inevitable maybe but it's not practical and it's not sustainable.well history also shown us that it does not last and usually the side throwing the most raw wattage at the problem end up losing more market share, so yeah the 1st one finding a way out is guaranteed the crown for a few generations pretty much, and i think at least both amd and intel knows, maybe not nvidia, i think Jensen thinks he is invincible.
They've pretty much reached a ceiling they simply can't punch through (power limits of the house), some even saw it with 30 series, so 40 series is only going to be worse.
I'm sure you did 6 fans it for aesthetics but I suspect your low wattage cpu is doing you a few favors.
/laughs in poor people. it will never affect dat Tp4I refuse to pay these prices. (at this current time)Show Image(https://cutekawaiiresources.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/43.gif?w=560)
