Furthermore: a. My main concern is to get the very best Intel integrated graphics. And, I could not care less about which Intel CPU I choose. b. I do NOT want to buy a third-party CPU cooler. Third-party coolers suck. They always die. c. I will NEVER, EVER choose a discrete GPU card. These SUCK THE BIG ONE! They always die, in the end, long before the Intel CPU. Just saying....

Also, while I am at it.... Would you go for a cheaper cooler than this one, for the 13600K CPU? Why doesn't Intel just supply an Intel stock cooler, anyway???!!! I do not understand this. In the past, Intel supplied stock coolers for its K CPUs, in fact. (By the way, I never intend to overclock this CPU....) Note: I do not like third-party CPU coolers! I have had very bad luck with them. The best coolers are the stock coolers from Intel.....

a. This CPU should be plenty to run four computer displays. b. The only question might be which ASUS mainboard would be suitable for the task. c. As someone already stated, one should not scrimp when choosing a decent CPU. d. This CPU has decent integrated graphics, and enough power to last for, maybe, another 8 years. e. But, how long with socket 1700 be popular? If the mainboard dies, will I be able to buy a new motherboard during the next three or four years, socket 1700?

Four Solid Years of Zero Illness: Boring?

I just cannot help but love ALL of your comments. Life here on TV just would not be the same without you. Long life to you, Sir! -
Anybody have any thoughts concerning which ASUS motherboard might work best with the Intel CPU: INTEL CORE I5-13500 2.5 GHz (SOCKET LGA 1700)? My need is to simultaneously connect to four computer displays. And, these displays must work at Full HD 1080p resolution, which will be suitable for normal office work, but not for high-resolution engineering purposes. a. I will NEVER buy a GPU to be connected to the mainboard. I do not like the noise. I do not like the fact that they burn out after limited use. b. So, I need to choose a motherboard (ASUS) which will be able to connect 4 monitors operating at standard resolution, not high resolution. Why do I NEED 4 monitors? This is NOT the question. I just need 4 monitors, for sure. The Intel i5 CPU that I have listed is capable of supporting 4 monitors. But, which mainboard will provide the sockets required to attach 4 monitors. Any thoughts? Regards, Note: I hate discrete GPUs. HATE is probably not a strong enough word. Tks Note: I think this CPU, listed above, is a great CPU for the money. Note2: Not on topic, but what power supply might be the most reliable for a new build?

PS: Wishing Mr. L continuing good health, as well. Mr. L. provides intelligent and amusing commentary, which contributes to my good health. When he is healthy, then I will benefit from his good health, is my guess. Fortunately, Mr. L. has a partner who worships the light shining from his posterior. And, as far as I know, Mr. L., also, is a connoisseur of the female form, particularly the hind part of it. -

My Fellow Hypochondriacs: I would like to report that, during the past over four years, I have not been sick once.... Not one purple berry, even! Although I hate to be sick, yet.... I am becoming a bit bored. In the past, when ill, at the very least, I could always find a nurse to provide me with a bit of comfort, and chicken soup, and even a bit of Jewish Penicillin. And, sometimes I would give the nurse a shot, too, when I was younger. So anyway, as of today, it's already been over four years since I had a decent case of the flu, or a dose of the clap, or ..... Anything! I am beginning to wonder what's wrong with me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have I somehow lost the ability to get sick? True, during the past four years, I have just about COMPLETELY cut myself off from all polite society. And, truth be told, I now prefer it this way. I have become the typical recluse. I now have ZERO contact with any real humans, and only.... Interact on the virtual level. I am not a ghost of my former self, yet....these days... I just mostly interact with the ghosts on my computer monitor...anytime they... Pop up. When, Oh when, will I ever get sick again? Will I ever rejoin society? Or, is my participation in the Real World, now...just a thing of.... My past? What I miss, somedays, is a hacking cough, and a fever, and the runs.... I just cannot believe that I have not had a good decent RHINOVIRUS for over four years. The last time I became ill with a rhinovirus was back in December of 2019...and...even then.... I wasn't sure if it was a decent one. Maybe I need to stalk a buffalo, just to feel right again. Sometimes, when one lives one's life without risk or discomfort...one forgets...what it really means to.... Be alive! Living such a sterile life as I, these days, leaves something to be desired.... Regards, Gamma NOTE: I don't know why, but many people here in Thailand have too little respect for the buffalo, an animal they think is stupid. Note: Is this dislike for the wonderful buffalo just a best example of projection?

Actually, your comment proves that my intuition is always...spot on. I never figured you for a pot head. You are just too smart and too productive to be one. As to wine.... There are some fine wines that I wish I could afford. And these wines are probably not even available here. I just came across a short story about an epicurean who turned out to be a complete faker. Maybe you know the story, and it's basically a simple story meant for language instruction to help ESL students. There is no substitute for the enjoyment of living life free of mind-bending substances, meaning psychotropic drugs, of which wine is one, it seems. Still, the enjoyment of a fine wine is worth the hangover, the morning after, in my opinion. The only hurdle for me, in my potential imbibing, is the cost, and I would not wish to spend the money on wine when I could spend it on something else, such as a computer, that might afford me many months of pleasure, rather than a morning hangover. So, I guess... I am not the head case that most here might mistakenly believe me to be.... And, neither are you, one presumes.

Me too!!!! In the future, I will post fewer topics and posts, and I have never been that interested in racking up a high thread count on the forum. -

I recall well both versions. I just forget which was which, and only knew that one was superior to the other, and one also longer than the other. -

Yes. I bought from Robinsons. Very comfortable. But, I found that they do not wear well when machine washed. One top sheet was about Bt.3000. I believe these are overpriced, but not sure. -

Free shipping? No import tax? No shipping delay? These are three reasons I never order from Amazon USA. When in China, I used Amazon China, until, as I mentioned, it stopped its operations there. I would happily use Amazon USA if I were in the US. If Amazon can provide free shipping to Thailand, with no import duty, and get here in one week, than I will buy a lot from Amazon. Tomorrow. -
Shopping tips? Bed sheets, sandals, flipflops

100 PERCENT cotton is what you need. I do not use sheets that are purchased by most Chinese or Thai consumers. -

Sleep like a Thai. Sleep on bare hardwood floor. No need for bed. If no bed,... No need bedsheets. No need to wash sheets. If no sheets. No need for washing machine. No need for clothes dryer. Why sheets expensive? Only Farang need sheets. Sheets a luxury.
