    News Power usage in Wyoming AI data center could eclipse consumption of the state's human residents by 5x — tenant of colossal investment remains a mystery

    Just the irony of all this on the back of the esg rush, Prius marathon and people falling over each other to brand themselves as green. Jets are still dumping endless tons of fuel in the air everyday, and ai spend 80% of the world Energy in a couple of years..... Maybe if we ask the ai to fix...

    News Nvidia H20 AI GPU inventory is limited — but Nvidia is making a new B30 model for China to comply with export restrictions

    I think in the current situation sell all you can while the product is still expensive. Even from the national perspective why not milk china into wasting money on gpus that will be a lot less worth when the bubble bursts. I find it amusing with the current outlook that altman is thinking...

    News Graphene thermal pad for AMD CPUs promises 17X better conductivity than thermal paste, 2X improvement over Thermal Grizzly

    The nickel is solely used to protect the copper. It oxidizes very quickly on the surface without protection from oxygen

    News Graphene thermal pad for AMD CPUs promises 17X better conductivity than thermal paste, 2X improvement over Thermal Grizzly

    What we need is a socket capable of taking a ton of mounting pressure per square feet. If I remember correctly at this pressure a soft piece of metal will fill the gaps and conduct at incredible rates. All while being readily available and cheap. So if the tim area was designed to withstand...

    Review Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex review: raising the bar for silent performance

    And I am a bit sad that you does not even react to my "enhanced" sketch :D The spirit of my post is to bash the manufactors stupid claims and stupid slides that is all made to give a perception of something substantial where there is nothing substantial. It was never to critisize the review...

    Review Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex review: raising the bar for silent performance

    Nobody is critisizing albert of the review in general. Im talking about the fact I think we should more actively call out this behavior. Everytime we slide easy past it, someone will get fooled. And as long as it is profitable to just lie and say endless bs (which is illegal btw) - well then...

    Review Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex review: raising the bar for silent performance

    But nobody is denying that part. I think you completely misunderstand my point. It was not a layup for discussion merely an observation that the efficiency used as ground for its existence is what the system itself is eroding today. When every single product is price gauged, every single product...

    Review Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex review: raising the bar for silent performance

    Sure , but then what is this slide suppose to achieve :) ? The fun part is the immateriality of making a whole graphic to deliver the message "ai enhanced" :) Its just so obvious marketing jargon that its hard to even pretend it is not. I wish for the future journalism in general will a lot...

    Review Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex review: raising the bar for silent performance

    while I generally agree that any sort of misleading marketing is very bad - In this scale we are talking , heat pipes are practically superconducting :) Sure supercritical heat pipes would perform better , but I dont think anyone would want to maintain such pressures inside their pc ;D Heat...

    News Core i9 14900KS heatspreader transformed into CPU water block - clever machining yields a functioning water block

    It has both proven to be , and is blatantly a bad idea. If you want to go the way of an actually active cooler , why not just use a compressor system on top of a water system? Remember that the ridiculous efficiency of heatpipes comes from the fact we are using evaporation and condensation ->...

    News Core i9 14900KS heatspreader transformed into CPU water block - clever machining yields a functioning water block

    I did assume that you would either capture the vapor and revaporise it , or simply doing the evaporation on the roof for example. I would not personally mix the vaporation system liquid with the pc cooling liquid. Doing indoor evaporation into the air is impractical unless you live in amazingly...

    News Core i9 14900KS heatspreader transformed into CPU water block - clever machining yields a functioning water block

    Water evaporation is the answer my friend. Nobody wants a cooler that uses even more power. Have some evaporation going on however you want, and cool your water pipes with that energy sink. Its basically free and cool addon is that you can legitemaly say that your CPU is Einstein cooled ;)(this...

    News Researchers develop two-phase cooling technique that dissipates 7X more heat

    I don't think anyone was disputing that fact?? Improving efficiency is obviously always a tier 1 priority. Yes you cannot transmit energy "for free" but I have zero clue why you are down this path :D in today's chips more power are used moving data than doing compute , so we obviously have some...

    Review Seasonic Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition power supply review

    Both can easily be run practically silent. And sure noctua is great, but what are you really on about? Noctua is only lonely in terms of price, fan efficiency both in terms of noise and power, they are nothing special anymore. It's great fans don't get me wrong, but claiming this makes any...

    Review Seasonic Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition power supply review

    Im sure it's an absolute beast. I don't understand the adamant and seemingly forceful mention of the great addition of the noctua fan repeatedly, which is also mentioned to hardly be spinning. It does come off as hardcore shilling, who here believes the fan makes any sort of material...
