    EK Releases FPT 120 and FPT 140 High Static-Pressure Fans for Radiators and Heatsinks

    I'm still waiting for that 140mm from Noctua.

    AMD Announces the $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX and $899 RX 7900 XT, 5nm RDNA3, DisplayPort 2.1, FSR 3.0 FluidMotion

    I just realized this. It has AV1 which you could use for OBS streaming. NVENC was the only other thing that Nvidia had an upper hand on.

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I was hoping to atleast run Moonlight on mine but unfortunately I have a patched Switch. Would have been great stop gap until the Steam deck becomes mainstream.

    NR200P or Torrent Mini?

    The NR200P looks lovely BUT there's a lot of compromise to it. You pretty much have to aircool in it and the choices for coolers are limited. Have you checked the Meshlicious?

    Was there anything wrong with the 2070S aside from it possibly mining for quite a while? Since you are putting a block to it I reckon even if the fans are dying it would be a non-issue. Anyways, the 1080ti is still a solid choice.

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I had a custom cable done by dreambigbyray. A 30cm cable with 2 molex connectors for the pump and the QUADRO. It's amazing how 1 single cable helps with tidying things up. From: To:

    Your PC ATM

    I had to re do my loop as air was consistently finding its way to the GPU block. I haven't experienced the problem since the rebuild but I think I narrowed down a few reasons why it keeps on happening. 1. Water temps are reaching over 45C casing liquid to evaporate faster. (Ambient 30-35C) 2. I...

    Arm Considering Making 15 Percent of its Workforce Redundant

    Is ARM not profitable? There should be a cap to corporate greed.

    I tried that once and tested it on our modem. It sucked the power out of the power bank hella fast.

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    Yup. The Bykski block came with one sheet of thermal pad. It looks like 1.5mm but I was wrong it is 1.25mm and I had to squish the pads by hand. For the longest time I have always wondered why other block manufacturers use different sizes for thermal pads. They are scraping off a single metal...

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I got a couple of 1.5mm Gelid pads to re-pad my GPU since I'm redoing my loop. I measured the stock Bykski thermal pads (blue squishy ones) before buying these and they are a little over 1mm. So I guess 1.5mm was safe. Did the loop and turned it on to check thermals and the thermal pads were too...

    Wait for new generation gpu or buy the current generation ?

    Here's my thinking about it. The latest and greatest will from now on be scalped unless they do something about it. If you can't easily buy a current gen card for retail price, I doubt you would be able to get the next gen ones easily as well.

    Raijintek Introduces OPHION ELITE SFF Chassis

    Looks like the 2 front fans are connected outside the main case frame so it wont interfere. This looks perfect for SFF air cooled/aio build. I checked the site and it looks like it will be really hard to do custom loop here.

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    Bought me a drawer for my watercooling stuff. I just realized I have enough fittings for a couple of builds. On another note. Will do the rebuild in a few hours. Which do you think would look nice in the Meshlicious? 10/16mm EKWB ZMT or 10/13mm Norprene?

    They use nickel plated aluminum on some 3080 blocks. Reddit is plagued with corroded blocks.
