At full throttle, you are looking at 16 threads at 100% running at 4.6GHz. it's up to you if losing 400Mhz is a big enough deal.

Can't say for sure, I tried looking for the heatsinks on ebay for your model to compare but as far as I can tell the tm1-g is about 500g heavier. Not sure how much of that can be attributed to the gpu or how much extra copper is in the heatsink. It is probably negligible. I think with such a...

The laptop in question is an older version. The newer model is slightly more updated chassis

I'm interested to see what you've done, my current setup is to get the laptop to be quiet at all times during normal use. I'd still be interested in a power setup

I think you won the lottery with that 9900k, I spent a lot of effort trying to peak my score and I only ever go around 1900. Care to share your settings?

the iGPU inside the 9900k isn't used for anything except encoding since there is a dedicated GPU. I personally found the intel iGPU encoded streams far better than the 2080's encoding. This was for streaming games though, so not the exact same user case. I agree with your point though that the...

I'd personally take two 8GB sticks so you can use dual channel ram which performs better, the 14.0" WQHD (2560 x 1440), IPS, 300nits, Anti-Glare you selected on the Lenovo one would be great for gaming but I'm pretty sure you wont be using this laptop for this, so a 1080 screen is more than...

PC specialist doesn't have a marketing budget quite as big as Lenovo's. Consider how much Apple spends on marketing and the price they are able to charge for their products. PC specialist is a white label brand.

Do you fly business class? I'm not aware of any laptop that can comfortably sit on a plane seat tray.o_O It's a little heavy but it's not back-breaking if you carry it on your shoulder. I carry the cooling pad inside the laptop satchel and use the laptop directly out of its case by propping up...

I would say that I had to put a great deal of time into demystifying the overclock settings through trial, error, and experimentation. A lot of the information readily to hand is very misleading, misunderstood or incorrect. The laptop is overpowered and the default settings give it great...

I can confirm it does not respect 95W and instead runs 120W standard and 165W on turbo boost Ever since you pointed out to me it should be 95W, and me overriding the settings to force it to use 95W when not turbo my laptops fans never turn on at all unless I'm doing something intensive. With...

I'm pretty sure this is a windows display settings thing or power savings settings thing. I deliberately set mine up to have the exact same behavior so when I was watching a movie on an external display that the laptop screen would turn off while the external screen remained on. Try...

I was declined a mortgage because I default on a bank account because they hammered me with bank charges that caused bank charges back when I was a student for an overdraft of something daft like £10. Sadly credit is not a right. But considering house prices are priced so high entirely because...

hmm, that is bizarre, I never found any instance of the GPU ever getting too hot on my own. I also play Stellaris and can agree it would hardly be pushing the envelope considering Stellaris can run easily on an iGPU. this software here https://www.evga.com/precisionx1/ has an auto voltage...

The flaw is that the factory settings puts 120Watts on the CPU when its normally rated for 90W. This looks great for benchmarking but doesn't translate into real world performance as the thing will just thermal throttle itself into oblivion. Try out the settings in my signature and you'll see a...

I can confirm University does not teach anything even close to anything this "real world". Setting up hosting you can go down two routes. Shared hosting or dedicated hosting. Shared hosting will be more user-friendly as they will give you a convenient control panel and its more akin to just...

Watermarking is the only defense, You might be able to do some bizarre thing by putting the image as a binary file and reconstituting it in the browser but still someone determined would be able to piece it back together

£300 is the price a freelancer gives who don't pay tax and probably just a student or someone abroad. £2k is about the average you would pay from a company that has a developer and graphic designer working on the project. You would expect carte blanche with this deal providing you express your...

Really any general purpose PC should be able to handle these. Editing photots isn't anything like editing videos, just make sure you have sufficient RAM and everything should be good.

Web Dev here, What tech stack are you planning on working on? Languages, editors etc
