And Aquacomputer is a pretty good company.

They're definitely on my good-guys list...

I've been using them for a long time now. Since about 2015. I mean, no for profit company is your friend, but still I get the sense they are among the few that are really just trying to make good products and are willing to call out those who don't.

They are the ones who cued me into that Noctua was intentionally not meeting the PWM spec on their Industrial fans back in 2019 when I was having problems with my last water cooling build.

As far as water cooling goes my "good guys list" is straIght up and down German for some reason
- Watercool
- Aquacomputer
- Alphacool

Probably in that order, though the top two are pretty close.

I don't think AMD makes any of their own video cards, at least not in the consumer space.

Not currently irrc, but my 6750XT is AMD branded, bought straight from the AMD website

but they need to get everyone at pci-sig to agree on the new standard.

That would be the first time nVidia waited and didn’t push a proprietary standard…
