    Why don't cases seperate CPU from GPU for thermal reasons?

    Dell used to have a greed duct over the rear fan to pull the heat from the CPU cooler directly out of the case.

    "Fixed" a shady GTX 1080 today. It can't be that easy, right?

    I was about to say the same. If you have an actual hot air gun you can do a bit better with that but I've baked a few 8800/9800GT Nvidia cards back in the day that were known for solder issues with a surprisingly high success rate (I actually can't remember when it didn't work).

    NVidia now HIDING hot spot temperature? A great problem IMO.

    Back in the day..... (damn, yeah I'm old).... that is exactly how it was. When overclocking my Geforce3 Ti200 after I lapped the cooler and repasted, clocks were bumped using RivaTuner until the card started to show artifacts. There were no on chip temperature sensors. Some enthusiast sites...

    It is 2025, you have a PCI slot you really want to fill, what do you stick in it?

    [TechSpot] Artificial plant purifies indoor air and doubles as a power source for small electronics (beats real plants and traditional purifiers)

    Those were in response to reputable clinics that offer the treatment. I can link to clinical studies as well if that's what you want, doesn't take much searching for them. And no where had I argued it was to be used as a generalized health improver; I had thought that we were both in agreement...

    [TechSpot] Artificial plant purifies indoor air and doubles as a power source for small electronics (beats real plants and traditional purifiers)

    Mayo Clinic UC San Diego Health University of Michigan Health Johns Hopkins (they at least offer links to find treatment centers) There's a lot more but just showing it's not exactly a smoke enema. Does it get prescribed or pushed for instances where its effectiveness is just snake oil...

    [TechSpot] Artificial plant purifies indoor air and doubles as a power source for small electronics (beats real plants and traditional purifiers)

    There's a bit too much research out there on hyperbaric oxygen therapy for me to agree that it's mearly a fad or baseless. Additionally, it's not just the increased oxygen levels that make it effective but the increased atmospheric pressure in the chamber. Don't get me wrong, it's not a...

    NVIDIA "Blackwell" GB200 Server Dedicates Two-Thirds of Space to Cooling at Microsoft Azure

    Anyone else notice the towel at the bottom of the radiator?

    Randomly lost power in my house....

    Remember, the batteries in a UPS are 12V (sometimes 24V if stacked in series).... when they are supplying any load on their own they are supplying quite a lot of current. The fans on mine kick on right away with about a 200W steady draw on them when switched to battery. You might have just...

    Creative Launches Sound Blaster Katana SE Sound Bar that Doesn't Need a Sub-woofer

    Holy crap..... $450 !!!! The Klipsch Cinema series soundbars are cheaper and include an actual wireless subwoofer. That RGB tax is quite high.

    Nintendo GameCube Prototype From Space World 2000 Expo is Rediscovered

    If you live anywhere near Ohio I'll take you up on that offer! There's a community out there where that set is actually sought after (I'd use it for my old Atari 2600 and original Nintendo). Also, you didn't say this part but they don't have bulbs in them that go bad. They do have electron...

    ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua OC

    There used to be a "big" market for aftermarket GPU coolers, is that not the case anymore? Arctic Cooling used to make a myriad of coolers such as the Accelero Xtreme GTX Pro / Accelero S1 / NV Silencer, etc. Have users or builders become that lazy where swapping out OEM cooling with 3rd party...

    PCI express riser problems

    I'm wondering if the card was using the bracket connection to the case to help with grounding. Maybe worth looking into.

    XGIMI Horizon 1080p LED Projector

    I'll admit I know nothing about the price range of ambient light rejecting screens but.... that thing is more expensive than the projector at $1299!!
