Doesn't this essentially force you into a native framerate of (divides by four) ~18-23 fps? It might look smooth due to frame gen, but that input lag out to be atrocious. We are talking like 45-60ms (excluding monitor)? (1/framerate * 1000) I'm not sure I could play my games with that...

Nice review. Thank you for including STALKER 2. Three Quastions: 1.) Any word on what is required for a game to be compatible with the driver override? Is it any title that is already compatible with the first gen transformer model? 2.) Did you compare the image quality to previous...

I figured it was absolutely necessary, because even really good PSU's are not perfect, +12VDC can range up and down by a few tenths of a volt, and if one PSU is skewing high, and one low, you could have some reverse power flow going on, and god knows what that might do to the PSU witht he lower...

Alright. Some numbers. First off, the flow through the radiators is actually a little bit better than my previous pessimistic figures. I think during the first fill I forgot that I had to tell the Aquaero which type of flow meter was connected for the calibration data. So I get 232 L/h...

Alright, first off, here are some semi- finished (could still use some cleanup, especially the rack cable management which is a bit of a rats nest) Phase 1 pictures. ...yeah, this is obviously the back of the rack, not very visible, but it is a rats nest of fiber optic, Ethernet and...

Alright, some troubleshooting later I found the problem. One of the crimps on my custom cabling was bad. ...so now I had to crawl on the floor and crimp laying on my side. Fun fun.... Now to get the external loop to trigger when the workstation powers on. I have an opto-isolated relay...

...and yes. I do realize there are only 7 bottles in that picture. I don't know what happened to the 8th one. I misplaced it somewhere during my mixing and filling 😅

I decided to replace the rubber gasket in the hole in the back of the box with a clamping fitting to prevent accidental ripping out of wires and bending of pins. Since the hole was a little large, this resulted in needing a set of reducing washers: Which brings us to another thing I...

I decided it was time to replace the temporary CPU cooler in the workstation with the water block. I started this on a Friday evening after work, knowing that at this point I have crossed the river. Absolutely everything I do on this project takes longer than I expect, and I had to be up and...

You and me both 😅

Alrighty then, Time for a bit of an update. As I am getting close to reinstalling all the water components, and the old loop had some cleanliness problems there for a bit, I decided it was time to give the old Watercool Heatkiller IV Pro STRx4 block another cleaning. It looked pretty good...

...and I apologize for the silence, there will be some updates in the not too distant future. This is a busy time of year between work end of year deadlines and holiday family obligations....

I guess the point is, I have invested heavily in radiator capacity. I want to be radiator capacity limited, not flow limited. If the temps in the loop start climbing, not because there is insufficient radiator capacity, but because there is insufficient flow to fully take advantage of the...

Sorry, Can't see it 😅 Between my pihole, my VPN and LIbrefox, I have never been able to see anything on Instagram or TikTok, and for the last year or so, reddit is now off limits as well. I guess I'll just do without them. No content is worth being tracked. :p

You have to separate heat flow from coolant flow and temperature. Think of it this way. Imagine pushing a theoretical very low flow rate through the radiators top the point where the dwell time of any given slice of coolant in the radiators is so long that it is guaranteed to be exposed to the...
