    Hot Chips 2017: A Closer Look At Nvidia's Volta

    I remember reading somewhere that gaming Volta will use GDDR6 or an improved generation on GDDR5X. Will be a monster for sure no matter what. Hopefully AMD is ready for a response.

    WD's New My Book Duo Puts 20TB On Your Desktop

    Well since most nice routers have USB ports for turning external storage into network storage this could make a decent NAS. Assuming you have your wifi configured correctly and securely. Still, 2 10TB drives is worrisome.

    Alphacool Debuts Two New M.2 SSD Cooling Solutions

    It actually does get hot in a lot of configurations since most are directly next to the GPU, so I can't really argue that this is overkill. But, water cooling it? Well, it would get the job done that's for sure. I guess some people want their hardware to work as pure as possible, being 100%...
