Blue Yeti Nano Review @ Vortez
Question: how do you make the Blue Yeti Better?
Answer: you can't, the microphone is pretty darn good out of box and it has the weight required to stamp out vibration and prevent noise.
But, But. what about making it smaller? Well, lets see what Vortez has to say.
Looking solely at the Yeti Nano now and it has some impressive attributes of its own, one such feature is the inclusion of a zero-latency 3.5mm port for monitoring your audio in real time. It also boasts an impressively wide frequency range pickup of between 20Hz to 20kHz as well as dual condenser capsules, a multifunctional volume control dial and an impressive SPL of 120dB.
Umm. I hate to break it to you but the Blue Yeti of old had all that stuff too.

The Performance & Power Efficiency Of The Core i7 990X vs. Core i9 9900K @ Phoronix
so the Core i7 990X is old, like Gulftown old and part of a Intel processor generation that actually made overclocking fun. The CPU scaled and loved to be pushed provided you did the right things at the right time #TWSS
Phronix is doing a new vs old article and I'm pretty excited to see the results.
With my initial Core i9 9900K benchmarks out there following Friday's embargo expiration, for some weekend benchmarking fun I decided to pull out the old Core i7 990X to see how it compares to the new 9900K... The Gulftown and Coffeelake processors were compared not only on raw performance but also overall power consumption and performance-per-Watt.
My projection, 9900K draws more power but has higher performance. The 990X leaves most of its power in the form of heat.

ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2080 Ti OC Edition Review @ Legit Reviews
Seems Legit, You gotta love when the teaser is not only about the best of the best but does a quick backstory as to why.
ASUS currently has three NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card models on the market today. They have the Turbo Edition that has a blower style GPU cooler that boosts up to 1560MHz, a dual-fan OC edition that boosts up to 1650MHz and then you have the flagship ROG STRIX model with three fans that boosts up to 1665 MHz. Today we’ll be taking a look at the best that ASUS has to offer, the ROG STRIX RTX 2080 Ti OC Edition that is available for $1249
Pascal and Turing both have overclocking limits and while you can push these cards on LN2 the effort required to get 50Mhz is almost too much. Granted that 50Mhz can be 200 points or more but still it wasn't like that in the 900 series days.
Of course, all three of these GPUs are better than previous generations where the hotclocked cards were maxxed the F out with only 5 to 10 Mhz left before they started causing problems.
