If you want a mobile class CPU you can get them and drop straight into normal MB, e.g.
Those 35W are misleading and most of the time that's the minimum value while maximum can easily go up to 65W or more.

Heretic! Burn him!
Yeah - some of the themes are horrible. At least you have a choice!however i do find objectionable some of the color schemes used by other commanders... to each their own obviously
.. I'm in the same boat as Northpin, I'm a Heretic! ...)Also, are there any settings in the Odyssey Graphical settings (other than Display resolution and refresh rate which obviously I've changed to 2560 x 1440 x 165Hz) that would give me the optimal picture quality / framerate / anything else that I'm not familiar with etc!

</GraphicsConfig>My present PC was built around 7/8yrs ago and I upgraded the GPU from the 1050Ti to the GTX1080 around 18mths ago. I am now 75 and my memory is not bad but certainly not as good anymore. I can certainly remember how to put all the parts together into the box, plug in all the cables, and set the BIOS etc. but it is the reinstalling Windows10 and my other programs including EDH/EDO where I would prefer to have a sort of walkthrough procedure for want of a better name written down as until I get Windows10 installed and up to date I won't have a PC to ask for online help. I would likely muddle through it okay just need a back up plan.
...I'm 73 and I sympathise with your memory problem, it changes as you get older and a certain lack of confidence can creep in.). I'm now slowly getting stuff ready for another AMD based computer for myself, as funds allow.That's a pretty niche use case. Most people wanting to do something like this would be dropping a good chunk of cash on an AV receiver/amp and 7.1 passive setup, rather than independently-powered entry-level equipment.Hi All
I'd like some PC Audio Advice please!
I have a Creative Labs Inspire 7.1 Surround sound speaker System which although very old still works okay, which I'm using on my present pc.
The speakerst have 4 x 3.5mm outlet jacks which plug in to my Rog Strix motherboards audio sockets, (1 Front spk, 2 front side spk's, 2 rear side spk's, 2 rear back spk's and subwoofer.) Motherboard - https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z690-a-gaming-wifi-d4-model/
I'm building another computer (AMD) using this motherboard, https://rog.asus.com/uk/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b650e-f-gaming-wifi-model
The main question is,what or how can I use the same speakers (I presume it's some form of switch box) to switch easily between the two computers?
Both motherboards have the more or less identical audio connections at the rear of the motherboard.
I've had a search for a switch box but quite frankly I'm not sure which type I'm looking for.
Any advice or links to the appropriate switch box?... would be most welcome, I'm not looking for anything wildly expensive, just something that will do the job. (something that's under £40 if possible).

....The inbuilt speakers on my BenQ monitor are supposed to be reasonably good for monitor speakers according to reviews of that monitor, I haven't tried them out, so I might have some options there...I'll have to see.
(if I'm only using one computer at a time).
