And it turns out it is remote desktop protocol that is one of the issues I have causing win 10 to keep saying you have an upgrade even with the most recent upgrade already incorporated into the image.

That's right, last month it was so bad the government highlighted Microsoft and their patch of RDP. Everyone should gut it from their builds, along with remote registry and remote workstation and remote assistance. If you don't have to have them, then you do not need the risk.

But, if you try removing RDP from server 2019, it borks the build entirely, making it unusable. You can easily remove it in NTLite. You can, in a way more complicated way, so so with powershell and enough knowledge with DISM and other Microsoft deployment tools.

You also need to make sure the setting is turned off to allow sync on network to not explicitly paired mobile devices. Why would Microsoft even allow for such a thing?

But I digress. Security first. So if you must use windows 10, GUT IT! LTSC, by itself, it's not enough.

 

EK Launches QuantumX Delta TEC Water Block ekwb.com | Today

It is expected to ship out in early December

EK-QuantumX Delta TEC - Thermoelectric cooler for Intel ekwb.com | Today



Pre-Order €294.03

 

I just saw that. $359.99 USD. Just need a 200W overage for your PSU to be able to feed it, or abouts, and an 8 pin.

Wish they had something like this for AMD, both mainstream and Threadripper, which also would work with the 3175X from Intel.

Edit: Here is a 360 all in one if you prefer that-

Linus gets it.... (re: 3090 coil whine)



I returned a GTX 1080 years ago for the exact same thing. I can't do coil whine. I know it is a normal thing and some cards have it, but my ears are hyper sensitive and it drives me batty. I usually don't wear headphones either.

 

Can't find where to purchase the 360 AIO unit, I am going to grab one for more overclocking fun. I have a pretty golden 10900K myself but need thermal headroom. My 1600w T2 PSU was made for this thing lol.

Also looks like 3080 Ti coming Jan 21' for $999 with 20gb VRAM. Nice! Will replace my 3080 with it.

 

I've got the same PSU and a G2 1600W, so I hear you. I don't know where to pick one up yet. EK has that waterblock on pre-order.

As to the 3080 Ti, I'm going 6800 XT. $650 fits my budget better and gives the money for a waterblock.

 

I had a GTX 275 that did that, quickest sale I ever made.

 

My new 1300w PSU arrives today. If it is the card and not a dying/weak PSU, I'll be selling it or returning it. There's no way I'm dealing with coil whine for 2-3yrs.

 

Does the EKWB Cryo fit X299?

 

No, this is LGA 1200 only unfortunately. Also sounds like Intel is bringing new overclocking features to 10th and 11th gen via a new Turbo boost or allowing manual adjustment of TVB which can actually be useful as those cores are your best on 10th gen and are identified in the BIOS.
