I always feel like when two giant conglomerates merge, it ends up being somehow worse for everyone else. Inevitably they start spinning stuff back off in ~5 years, but only after after destroying your dreams and crushing your hopes... Warner has to be getting tired of being passed around like a...

Oh wow holy cow “The AI-driven growth in the data center has led to a surge in demand for memory and storage. Micron has made the difficult decision to exit the Crucial consumer business in order to improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments,” You...

I seriously don't think graphics/hardware will get pushed much further, at least in the near term. I know that's gonna get a lot of pushback here. But... Look at the most popular games online right now. Most of them will run on a potato. Many of them are many years old. I mean, sure, there are...

This sums up my experience with Steam Deck - it's nice to have when the wife ropes me into watching dumb TV shows, but yeah, really glad it isn't my primary device. It's mostly nice because it's purpose built - what it does, it does very well, and it doesn't pretend to be a 4K gaming machine or...

That's exactly what I was thinking too. AI Benchmarks are... not impactful for my workloads at all.

This is just like all those "I built a PC specced to a console and it cost $XYZ" It will be interesting if it's totally open and you can install other OSes, like the Steam Deck is.

What you say is true, and I don't dispute the effect more flow will have on the radiator. I entirely agree. But let's hold the flow rates you have constant (because in reality it will be constant, you aren't varying the flow rate in response to anything once you have it in service) and consider...

Hmm.. That is a fair point.

Interesting. Just at first read, and I don't know all the particulars about it... but it's gonna be really hard to stand on anyone having done anything wrong when you have an overclock in play. Doesn't matter that it's two different components. Now - that doesn't make it right. Probably is...

I was thinking the exact same thing. Generation over generation performance/value has ... changed.

Honestly, if they had a version of Steam Link that worked at 4k HDR I'd be happy (currently use AppleTV for this, but it seems to have more latency). I don't really care about local performance when I have a gaming PC on the LAN that I can stream from.

I guess if your main goal is just to win the Mhz war, then it's definitely possible to hit 10Ghz. But I'm glad we kind of got off that train. Things got better quickly once we did (and the software caught up to SMP)

I still get hung up on this right here and can't see how it's an issue. But anyway, fun to theorize. Looking forward to seeing what it does once you flip the switch on.

If I only had a count of how many times I've turned various things off - only for them to get turned back on, reset to default, renamed and re-introduced, or otherwise shoved at me. I mean, if I had a airgapped box that never connected to the net - maybe I could keep it the way I want...

Nah, it still applies like a single loop - just takes longer because you have that mixing effect -- Tblend as I call it in the equations.

True, but you hit ambient, so... you didn't need the additional cooling, right? And if your Qin =/= Qout, then your inlet temp starts to creep up, and your gradient across those radiator fins will spread back out, as some differential function of inlet temp and radiator efficiency.. until you...

I guess I have to draw a dinstinction... as an OS, yeah, 10/11 seem to work fine. What I really don't like is Microsoft's attitude of updates/features they keep pushing. Like... Notepad now has AI? Start Menu has advertising? Updates tend to break more things than they fix? I'm all for...

Sounds correct - that's how the math would work out anyway. Energy = (mass flow) x (delta T) (x some other constants that end up canceling out in this case). You've got two loops, so that equation plays to the heating loop for energy going into the reservoir, and then a separate run of that same...

I got a lot of miles out of Windows 2k - almost as much as I did XP. Win10/11 may as well be the same system... and I think the prophets were right 25 years ago when they claimed the OS is dead, the Browser has taken it's place -- I think that's largely true, although I'd augment that to say...

The thermodynamic equations for that are pretty easy, if you wanted to prove it on paper. But it's easier to just YOLO turn it on and see what temps actually do. I bet it will be just fine - doesn't take nearly as much flow as you'd think it would to adequately cool a computer system. 0.6 gpm is...
