Builds & Upgrades — Part 5 (FINAL – Before & After)
Finished up new Build yesterday ‘n have it setup in my primary desktop spot – posting this from it right now. 👌👍🙌😁
Here are: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
‘Before’ as in the intact MoBo I moved out of the Apevia X-Qpack3 case, and ‘After’ as in this new Build inside it now. I name most of my computers after the cases I use to build them, and I’ll update the new components in ‘Apevia’ soon.
Here is a closer look at the new benchmark results – from UserBenchmark:
Builds & Upgrades — Part 4 (“Delivered Today” – *NOT*!)
OK, ‘Thangs have slowed to a crawl – fortunately I am in no rush ‘n just keep spending more money whilst I wait. 😁👍 However, instead of four Parts there will be a Part 5: here are the links to Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
Let’s get started…
‘Delivered Today‘
I knew that “$50 drop in the price of an Intel® Core™ i9-13900K CPU” mentioned in Part 3 looked unusual for the 2nd ‘Fastest average effective speed CPU‘ right now:
Enlargement of NATO: Putin is the “greatest gift to NATO”
Russia has been an Imperialistic country for centuries – In Are Russia’s Enlargement Dreams Fulfillable? – Mikhail Khodaryonok basically says that ‘constant expansion‘ is in the Russian gene, and is the ‘true existential of our historical existence‘.
In their opinion, for centuries the Russian state, with its harsh and inactive political interior, was preserved solely due to the relentless striving beyond its own borders. It has long forgotten how, and most likely never knew how to survive in other ways.
External expansion, Russian thinkers believe, serves to defuse the internal tension that accumulates in society and which in no case should be released into the wild through liberal experiments.
Putin made a *HUGE* mistake reinvading Ukraine, e.g., he has reminded Nations just how Imperialistic Russia is, and at the same time exposed the weaknesses & disorganization of the entire Russian Military.
Builds & Upgrades — Part 3 (Costs Incurred to Date)
Part 1 (5/29/23) was about ‘Planning‘ a new Intel® Core™ i9-13900K Build whilst reusing an Apevia case, its 32 GB RAM, its 500 GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 PCIe NVMe (for OS), a Adata XPG SX6000 Pro M.2 PCIe NVMe (for data), and a Kingwin KF-251-BK Dual-Bay Hot Swap Rack.
No rush or actual date for finishing the Build was set; however, an ASUS Prime Z790M-PLUS D4 LGA 1700 mATX MoBo had just been purchased for $183.92 w/ Tax ‘n free shipping.
Whilst writing Part 1 – I had noticed PCPartPicker showing a large drop in price for a ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti OC Edition – a drop from over $425++ to $364.00 ($390.54 w/ Tax) and I also purchased it.
Part 2 (6/1/23) was removing the MoBo from the ‘Apevia‘ computer and placing it (mostly intact) into the ‘Rose‘ computer – a huge Intel® Core™ i9-10900K Upgrade for that computer. I am now using ‘Rose‘ as my main PC until ‘Apevia‘ is re-Built.
