I have been using my hdplex h5 for 9 years now (!!!), went through many builds. My current desktop is a 13900T with an RTX 3060, all fanless; 99% of the time, it's been great. I realize after such a long time that on occasion (1% of the time), I want all the compute power that this build has and I can't extract it from this build due to thermal throttling. The motherboard is a bit old (h670) and I need thunderbolt. So now I'm planning to use the opportunity that the motherboard upgrade brings to "semi-silent" or "silent almost all of the time", with a Jonsbo Z20 + NH-P1, keeping the CPU but using an ITX z790 mobo I bought in ebay. Planning to inlcude an undervolted gtx 5060Ti dual fan with "0dba support" (no fans below 50 degrees), and two noctuas, intake at the bottom of the case and exhaust at the rear. Fanless PSU (seasonic, 500w). My desktop OS is linux. Home desktop machine. A little steam gaming. A lot of photo editing (#darktable) Anybody in the community with experience in nh-p1 / semi-silent builds that can share real-world experience, will it able to handle 106W (13900T peak) keeping the CPU below throttling?

Espresso fan here. Context - I've been preparing my daily espresso-based drink for some 15 years at home. I realized that most of these years, I've sourced beans from darkcity coffee. For the first few yeas, every now and then I would try neighbourhood roasters or even some Vancouver-based ones but either price was unreasonable or the consistency was lacking. For the last 5 years or so, I didn't try any other seller. Lately, price has gone up considerably as well. Time to explore. Maybe source locally in GTA; Etobicoke/Mississauga/West end - where I can pick up freshly roasted beans. Any recommendations?

These days my morning shot goes in a Cortado; with an occasional afternoon solo shot. My setup includes a great barista vario W grinder (12 years old and going strong!) and an ECM technika iv. Full-bodied, flavorfull, excellent crema is what I am after.
