AD08 11900H Initial Observations

[hsehestedt]

I'm running the AD08 with the 11900H. Man, this thing rocks. A few initial observations:

ALL of the USB ports are 3.2 so this is a great system if you have several high-speed devices that need to be connected.
It has 8 cores / 16 threads so it's a beast with multi-threaded apps.

Note that the side panel lighting is provided by RGB memory modules. There are lots of desktop memory modules out there with RGB lighting, but I can't seem to find RGB DDR4 SODIMMs as used by this system. As a result, I suggest NOT skimping on the RAM thinking that you will simply upgrade it later. I would suggest purchasing the model that has sufficient RAM right from the start. Yes, you can use memory that has no RGB lighting, but it would be a shame to lose the lighting.

Also, be aware that there are models available with a 1 Gbps Ethernet adapter or with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. Make sure to get the model that best fits your needs.

Currently, luminous SO-DIMMs are all custom-purchased by us and are difficult to find elsewhere.
