Where Tech Isn't So Technical…
So, I decided to benchmark my laptop as well because it has nVidia RTX mobile graphics but has a much weaker 10th Gen Core i5 CPU. I am just going to put the graphs up. I think you can see that the RTX mobile graphics has higher computational scores than my desktop AMD GPU and…
I came from an 27″ Intel Core i9-9900k. The 9900k in the iMac was gimped to begin with due to lack of appropriate thermal solution. However, it was a fast chip. Compared to other iMacs, at least. Compare an iMac to a PC built around a 9900k and there is a big difference. So, Apple…
Hi my dear readers. I am going to do a two part series on my move to Apple Silicon. I have resisted to this point but the falling resale values of Intel Macs has made me re-think my strategy with Apple Macs going forward. I decided to go with a Mac mini setup because I…
Since I had to replace my liquid cooler, I thought I’d make a blog post on how it works. There is a huge correlation between water cooling a PC and an engine. Vehicle Cooling Here is a car cooling system diagram. I stole it from the internet. I bet they never know… You have the…
So, you are going to build a new PC be it for gaming or productivity. You are going to need to buy the parts. There are several choices in each category of part that it can be confusing to the everyday consumer. Such that, it might be easier to just buy a pre-built PC rather…
I am going to do a few of these as best I can to teach anyone how a PC or Mac works. Today, we are going to look at the anatomy of a laptop. More specifically, a gaming laptop. It can be normal purpose, but it has the ability to play high-end games. This is…
I actually wanted to fully disassemble and reassemble, but I don’t have any zip ties. Really, the cable management was pretty good so I didn’t want to mess with that. So, I did a smaller project. This is what it looks like a few days ago. It’s purple but not for long… Inside my case….
This is another of the different type of cases that I built in during my years at Fry’s. I call it the “AmmoBox Case”. Its official name is the Vengeance C70. I didn’t get a picture of the final product here. I am not sure why, but let’s move on with the build. The parts…….
This was pretty much straight forward. As about straight forward as it can get. The guts of the Micro PC The motherboard fully exposed. The old broken motherboard on the left, the new on the right. The new motherboard installed in the case. The thermal paste is kind of a mess because the paste Dell…
I chose this one because of the unique nature of the case. I did not think to do all of the testing that YouTube channels like Gamers Nexus does when I was building at Fry’s and thinking… “That’s a cool case.” Chances are: GN would tell me that “it’s a hot case.” 🙂 So, I…
