As is tradition in the end of year chat, instead of what you have been listening to in the past week, we are going for your Top Five of 2025. (Doesn’t have to be released this year, just what you have newly listened to this year and you think is top 5 worthy).
My experiment…
I had some time to do some quick testing. It can run almost the same configuration as my larger box. So that’s straight out of the box with no GPU help vs some bios overclocks and a 3090 GPU. I’ll run through a full complement of testing over the next couple weeks.
Anyway, it’s pretty much doing what I expected plus the added benefit of being quieter than I expected. I think, after I get more time with it, this will be a very solid option.
I am hoping for a new year full of great music; one of those years full of amazing releases.
