Got this and is now my best-looking and most-comfortable pair of shoes! Before, it was was Nike Shox O'Leven (best-looking) and Nike Zoom Soldier IV (most-comfortable).
The new game, Starfield , is the first game that crashes my PC all the time. It seemed to suck out all 850W of my PC's PSU. Well, Starfield is still buggy and un-optimised but as my RTX 4090 is recommended to have a 1000W PSU, I got the itch and upgraded PSU to be quiet! PURE POWER 12 M 1200W . Installation was a breeze. I run 3DMark again and here's the latest score so connections seem to be all good (eg no unintentional cable disconnection): Hopefully, no more crashes when playing with Starfield in ultra settings.

Using a miniDSP UMIK-1 calibrated microphone, I recorded sound pressure level (SPL) at 1m away from the PC: Ignore the random peaks. They're from door of the study room being opened and closed. From 0 to 1:30, SPL averages around 46.5dB . Windows 10 power setting at balanced-mode. From 1:30 to 5:30, I loaded and played Deliver Us The Moon game (EPIC settings). Windows 10 power setting at high-performance mode. SPL averages around 51dB . From 5:30 onwards, I closed the game and PC went back to balanced-mode. With this data, I should be able to quantify difference between the stock cooler and new cooler which should be with me next week.
My Keen Hiking shoe has now racked up close to 500km since 3 years from purchase. I reckon almost 400km was spent on various trails in Blue Mountains NSW. So I bought a backup hiking shoe which is a Salomon pair. I chose this particular Salomon model due to positive reviews. This boot is really light. I can't wait to break this in.
