2. Cooler cost has very little to do with performance. Thermalright units compete with liquid coolers for a fraction of the cost[1].
3. What does a macbook case offer? Holes for ports and the keyboard, hinge for the LCD. The components themselves do the work. What does a ~$50 case [2] not do? Plenty of cooling, mounts all your components.
4. For llama.cpp text generation, an M3 pro does ~31 tokens per sec with the Q4_0 profile[3]. A 3070 does ~34 tokens per second [4].
WRT the motherboard, I'm not sure what did I suggest upgrading? I recommended cheaper parts than the original post.

1. a 750w Corsair PSU is ~$100
2. CPU cooler should be $30. A Thermalright cooler is way more than enough to keep at full boost speeds.
3. case is ~$50, its just a box
4. Windows is not the platform of choice for GPU/LLM work
Easy $400 savings. I would also also buy a B660 motherboard as X series motherboards only really offer overclocking options, and modern CPUs do not overclock anymore. $190 at newegg: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax/p/N82E16813...
1. If you are too fast to squeeze the brake lever, the tire carcass will not deform properly, giving you the the maximum braking potential. There's a large difference in braking performance just grabbing vs. applying in a controlled manner. You can look up motorcycling racing brake application for more info on this.
2. Breaking too hard can cause a stoppie (a wheelie using your front wheel). Done improperly, that creates a lot of fear in the rider.
3.If you lock the brakes and steer, you are likely to have the front end of the motorcycle dip, causing it to lowside.
ABS helps mitigate all 3 of these issues.
