Key Phrase... If you try to do some overclocking.....

Well I know that the CPU is designed to run with the stock AMD Wraith Cooler, so if you're not "Overclocking" it shouldn't be too big of a deal as long as you're keeping it cool enough. If was a tweaker, then it might matter...but I'm not.

Well PCPartPicker narrows it down to about 500 CPU Coolers...LOL

They caught me working the new PC....sha-bass-tards...LOL

They're only the Session versions, but that's still a great deal!

Motherboard arrived, and I had a Computer Case in the basement, so installed the Power Supply and Motherboard in that. When everything else arrives I'll just drop them into their locations and be ready to rock with little to no downtime. The Cooler that I bought is a dual fan - 6 Heatpipe cooler, and if that doesn't do the job I'll upgrade it. I have ZERO intentions of overclocking anything, so shouldn't be an issue, but only time will tell.

Temper is a plugin to to refine your high end frequencies. It's based on concepts around hysteresis, but with some additional features that make it much more useful in deciding how you want your highs to sound. You can think of it like a more pro-version of Vastaus with more bells and whistles. Try it after your de-essers to refine to final sound of your vocal, tame down samples in a beat, or make your cymbals less ear-bleeding and more airy. Shines on mastering purposes to get a more thick top-end The plugin can be quite CPU intensive at times, but I'll be working to get it down! Use it on busses and the master channel primarily. It works just as well, or even better on there. Have fun with it! Features: - SHIFT messes with time constants inside the algorithm to increase or decrease 'drag'. - RANGE acts like a threshold picking up different frequencies along for the ride. - TEMPER is the amount of the hysteresis applied onto the sound. - HARDEN is a pseudo-EQ that interacts with Temper. I would suggest to try them in opposite directions first to get a good grasp of the interaction. - HIGH EMPAHSIS is an EQ boost or CUT for Temper, which is applied before Temper is applied, so you can get interesting effects with addative and subtractive values. - LOW EMPHASIS is a blooming low end boost or cut for the fully WET signal. - BLEND is a master control for the dry/wet signal blend. $20 https://wavegrove.gumroad.com/l/Temper

I can tell you that they have a HUGE fanbois club on Fakebook and elsewhere...so I certainly woudn't say they're dead. For me...the move to the $30.99 model destroyed them as far as a "great deal" is concerned, especially in light of the former $14.99 deals that "used to be". I get that they need to make money, but selling 10,000 at $14.99 is far better than selling 1,000 at $30.99 IMO, but hey, I'm not a Business or Marketing guy, so what do I know? EDIT: They would have been WAY FARTHER AHEAD by going to a "Forever $20.99" Model, as people would be far less likely to walk away from the deal over $5 than over $15

Sonnet Technologies today announced the Sonnet M.2 2x4 Low-Profile PCIe Card, the latest offering in the company's popular family of high-performance storage adapter cards that enable the installation of multiple SSDs into a computer's or Thunderbolt expansion system's PCIe card slot. The low-profile, half-length PCIe 3.0 card features two M-keyed NVMe M.2 SSD slots that support the installation of M.2 form factor NVMe PCIe SSDs. Here's what they are saying: What It Does: The Sonnet M.2 2x4 Low-Profile PCIe Card enables users to mount two M.2 NVMe 2280 PCIe SSDs (sold separately) into almost any expansion card space with an available x8 or x16 PCIe card slot; using today's highest-capacity SSDs, up to 16TB of storage capacity may be installed. RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD configurations are supported, providing users with flexibility in configuring the SSDs for best performance or data safety, or both. Why It's Important: For users who need to add internal storage to their computer and require ultra-high-speed data transfer speeds for a smooth workflow — such as video editors working with 6K and greater resolution footage — an NVMe M.2 SSD-based upgrade is ideal. Many computers do not include slots to support installing M.2 SSDs directly but do include PCIe expansion card slots. With Sonnet's M.2 2x4 Low-Profile PCIe Card installed, a user can mount two SSDs in a single PCIe slot — with no cables, adapters, or mounting trays required — for instant-access media storage or as a high-performance scratch disk. For users whose computers lack PCIe card slots — such as notebooks, mini, and all-in-one desktops — but include Thunderbolt ports, installing the Sonnet card into one of Sonnet's multi-slot Echo Thunderbolt to PCIe card expansion systems connects the M.2 2x4 card's dual SSD slots through a single cable. How It's Distinctive: Compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux operating systems, The Sonnet M.2 2x4 Low-Profile PCIe Card requires only a low-profile card space and includes both full-height and low-profile PCIe brackets — so it is ideal for use in most any desktop tower, mini workstation or server computer, or Thunderbolt to PCIe card expansion system with an available x8 or x16 PCIe slot. Because the Sonnet card employs a high-performance 16-lane PCIe 3.0 bridge chip, it doesn't require specific SSDs or a particular motherboard to operate, nor PCIe bifurcation to support RAID features. Installed in a computer's PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 card slot, the Sonnet card supports outstanding storage performance — a single SSD installed on the card can deliver data transfers up to 3,400 MB/s — with two SSDs installed and configured as a RAID 0 set, sustained transfers up to 6,600 MB/s are supported. To support their sustained high performance, the card's integrated heatsink silently cools SSDs to eliminate the need for them to "thermal throttle" — an SSD protection feature that prevents overheating by choking performance until they cool down. When You Can Get It: The Sonnet M.2 2x4 Low-Profile PCIe Card (part number FUS-SSD-2x4-E3S) will be available the last week of June from Sonnet and soon after from channel partners worldwide at the suggested retail price of $199.99. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/m2-2x4-ssd-low-profile-pcie-card/overview.html
