7945HX3D or 8945HX?

Computer is primarily used for light-to-intermediate gaming and light productivity work (1440P, WoW, Witchfire, fairly efficient or low-demand games and 3d modeling to make files for printing) and is ~5L. I have the option to buy a lightly used Minisforum 7945HX3D board/CPU fairly local to me for slightly less than the ~400-dollar pricetag of a new 8945HX, or just buy the 8945HX instead new. Most benchmarks are showing the HX3D slightly ahead or much ahead at 1080P, depending on the game, despite being an older release/design.

The CPU will be paired with a 9060XT or a 5060LP.

What should I expect the performance difference to be?

What would you do?

HBA with black PCB

Weird question I know, but I’m planning on build a LABRAX server/storage that’s kind of an exhibition piece on an older AM4 ITX gaming motherboard I had. Is there such a critter as an HBA with a black PCB, other than the ASUS Pike II? And if not, is there anything wrong with the Pike besides the weird connector location?

Using integrated graphics on my 5700G, 32gb ddr4, and a 550ITX chipset motherboard.

Rifle case

I have just finished an ARC build in their chassis… and realized it fits in none of my cases except my Pelican hard-sider. What are you guys using to transport these guns, and what works for you at a match?

I’m running a 26” fatty-fat-fat barrel profile (1.25 taper to 1.15, straight past that) with an ace, so the gun is *substantial*.

LF a brake

I saw on here, I swear, a brake recommended that had an OD of 1.15”. It comes in a variety of materials including titanium. I’d like to get it for my barreled CDG. Can anyone help me out?

For those of you who will get in here recommending a suppressor, yes I agree, I’m working on it.
