Hmm, interesting. I'll have a look at it when I get home.

The day ad blockers no longer work on YouTube will be the day I no longer use anything made by Google. Maybe I'll keep my Android phone, but that will be it. I haven't seen the pop-up on my end yet (using uBlock Origin on Chrome/Windows and AdGuard on Chrome/mobile). I'll keep an eye out and...

That second picture had me laughing: the "Safety is Everyone's Responsibility" banner with the fire in the background. Lol.

Any reason for the USA bashing? Nobody here asked for your opinion of Americans. Besides, the USA is still going to have some of the most advanced fabs going forward, whether you like it or not. I hate it when people spout nonsense about Americans. Same goes for those who excessively attack the...

I own a 2021 Galaxy Book Pro 15.6" with a Tiger Lake i7 and integrated graphics (28W TDP). The notebook's chassis looks pretty much identical to those shown here. It's a great little laptop, but I can't imagine it being anywhere near able to house a cooling solution that would properly cool a...

I think that there is some miscommunication going on here. I was not trying to disprove anything you were saying. It's just that the discussion was never about axial fans, so I thought it was wise of me to help explain that to you. Anyway, if neither of us are going to talk about dream graphics...

Oh, I agree on the nonlinear part. The CFM-versus-height curve might even be asymptotic. But to say that changing the height of a blower has zero effect on airflow at any height is crazy. Just quickly tried a Google search for a study on the matter, but I couldn't find anything. By chance, do...

I think what @80251 is trying to say is that increasing the height of a blower fan (dimension b in the diagram below) increases its CFM at a given RPM. Because it absolutely does. If you look at any big industrial blower, you will see that the fan not only has a big diameter, but also a tall...

Impressive stuff, man!

High-performance air cooling and water cooling working together, in perfect harmony. :love: Is that your Titan Xp under that block? Thing must perform like a 2080 Ti with a decent overclock, haha.

Did you break into my apartment or something? Your carpet and walls are identical to mine. Even the desk placement is the same! :D Anyway, nice setup.

I could definitely see that as being the way that the recommended resolutions have changed over the years for the 1070 and other cards. It makes sense given the ever-increasing demands of new games. As for whether or not the 1650 is a competent 1080p card, I think that we all need to remember...

I noticed that the Recommended Gaming Resolutions were updated for all GPUs in the database about a month or two ago. The recommendations appear to be more conservative now. Most GPUs that were once "green" at a given res are now either "yellow" or "orange". Care to inform us about this change...

:D Yeah, it's been a while since I announced that I was going to replace that old connector. But I finally got around to it. As it turns out, the process went without too much hassle! My 30 W soldering iron had trouble melting those big joints, but I made do. Here is a closer view of my...

I don't believe that I ever posted a picture of my PC after I finished upgrading it last month. This was how the system looked before I made the upgrades. This is how it looks now: It doesn't look much different, but the PC is better in the following ways. CPU upgrade: R7 2700X -> R5 5500...
