How are the thermals under load? I would like to buy one of these for gaming and I am reading some horror stories on reddit about high temperatures and throttling of RAM and SSD. It seems the QA is all over the place (liquid metal not applied correctly, running all over the motherboard). I would get the preassembled version, not the barebone, but I am still a bit reluctant.
Thermals are what you choose them to be, pretty much. The whole thing is capped at 80°C. It will throttle after that.
In the bios you can select the CPU wattage from 28 to 58 I think (I won't be at work for the next two weeks so I can't say for sure). So If you select 28 watts you'll never hit the temperature limit, if you select 58, you will for sure.
Considering the power I'm getting out of it, I think the liquid metal was properly applied, but I can't know for sure without taking it appart.
The urge to create is equally strong in all children. Boys and girls.
It’s the imagination that counts. Not skill. You build whatever comes into your head, the way you want it. A bed or a truck. A dolls house or a spaceship.
A lot of boys like dolls houses. They’re more human than spaceships. A lot of girls prefer spaceships. They’re more exciting than dolls houses.
The most important thing is to put the right material in their hands and let them create whatever appeals to them.
I have been in Rome many times but I always pay a visit whenever I go back since it's my favourite monument there (never been a fan of St Peter, too much stuff in there).
The setting is amazing since it's hidden inside the city and the structure itself it's a beautiful and impressive testament to the architectural prowess of the romans. There is truly nothing like it.
Ditto. Walking in to the Pantheon, especially off season when there aren't as many tourists, is like traveling back in time. I can't help but think about all the things that may (or may not) have happened in that space, and my imagination immediately runs wild. Whenever I find myself in Rome I have to go there, it's like a calling almost.
I have much the same feelings when walking around Forum Romanum, my imagination runs wild there also. There's something about seeing those ruins that make my mind just rebuild them and I imagine their former glory so vividly it's almost like I can see it right in front of me.
Rome is a very nice place to visit off season, I very much enjoy it.
Best season (at least for me) is end of Spring, beginning of Summer. Not too hot, plenty of sun.
Rome is an extremely complicated place to live in and navigate but its beauty can be sometimes out of this world.
Also in my experience this applies to a lot of other places in Italy as well. Sardinia for example is an absolute marvel end of May, early June, before the summer rush starts kicking into gear.
