This is what you want mate

Staples, ?3.50 for 10 Metres. Perfect. Did it today, and inside the case, has kept the temp down pretty good too.

I would do it but I move my computer to uni and back every few months so its not worth it. When I finish uni next year then I will do it... maybe! thanks for the info though!

My workstation, no longer temporary:

Edit:

Since people asked, the screen is very good. Compared to the 2405FPW, the maximum brightness is noticably lower (but it doesn't really matter since both screens are way too bright by default) and the contrast seems to be a bit lower too, but the colours look more vibrant and accurate. Definitely a good buy. The screen real-estate is amazing and it has a lower dot pitch so it doesn't have the "too big" effect that the 2405FPW had. The viewing angle is better up/down but slightly worse left/right. The only thing I don't like about it is that mine's broken... When displaying solid black, there are numerous off-black verticle lines, there's backlight bleeding on the right, and there's a starfield of stuck pixels that only show up on very dark images (like the verticle lines).

Love the monitor!

Where did you get your desk from, I love that modular sort of look and design!

Hi, nice setup you got there. Do you have any problems with your temp, as it is in that compartment?

Hello. well not that much really. Currently im getting with the windows opened behind me;

CPU 32-34C Idle

CHIPSET 29-31C Idle

GFX 35-37C Idle

It does get hotter when gaming, the most i've had with this setup is around 40-44C so i dont know if that is considered very good. i have specs in my sig btw ;)

More pics added, ill show the inside the case sometime later and thats my air cooling fan which my dad brought me as my room gets the hottest in the whole house!

Good Work.

    • If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.
    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
