No reason to go watercooling when there are air coolers like that. Quieter and less problematic - can't have a water leak if there's no water. I'll upgrade my PC someday (probably not this year), and my planned solution looks similar to yours. Except I'll go Zen 5 (Ryzen 9700X, likely), as they'll be available by then.

That's pretty much what my build was last year. I ended up with the Aorus x670E Master but a little less processor, I put in the Ryzen 7 7700X.

Re: Motherboard upgrade: Seeking advice from all (but it's probably gonna be mostly from Larry)
Upgrading win 10 to 11 is pretty straightforward if I remember correctly. And the GUI is identical, I don't see why you can hate Win11 and love Win10. Microsoft is still weeding out old Win10 code and if you deep dive in the system the old stuff is still running (like control panel, device manager etc). The Settings app is not my favorite tool to tweak, the same for Apple OS's settings app (maybe that's improved but my Mac Mini from 2012 is frozen by Apple).

Thanks Ralf. Yes, parents should be warned for their Sunday walk with the kids in the woods.

Re: PESO: emperor dragonflies
Some dragonflies do indeed hover, so you have sometimes one or more seconds. The fast emperor is not one of these, but I have earlier taken some in flight pics in the way you shoot on a racing circuit. The PLM is a fast and silent lens, however all Pentax bodies (perhaps except the K-3 III) are weak in AF. I'm shooting dragonflies in flight in AF-S with single point, because AF-C is unusable. Would be nice to work with fast AF of one of the mirrorless systems. Henk Op 2024-07-05 om 18:46 schreef Alan C: Henk, that PML does so well - way better than my screw drive HD on the K5. Another opportunity would be when they hover. Alan C On 05-Jul-24 02:13 PM, Henk Terhell wrote: This for me is the first time I was able to shoot a pair of emperor dragonflies. Just plain luck to see them 'in copula', busy shaking off another attacking dragonfly, close to where I was standing on the edge of woods. These emperors are always very fast in flight and the only other chance to shoot one is when the female is laying eggs on the water surface. https://flic.kr/p/2q26KAT Henk -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
