I'm still not a fan of them using tubular copper channels. MO-RAs are always so restrictive to flow.

In the end as long as the they're not using materials that would result in harmful corrosion I'm not that bothered. The one Aqua Computer radiator that got the most praise from Igor is also one of the worst performing radiators on the market.

It's not like any desktop cpu supports thunderbolt of any kind. You always have to get an add in card with a thunderbolt controller or a motherboard with one integrated.

I understand that OLEDs will be dimmer than backlit monitors and I'm not just disappointed by the brightness in comparison to LCDs. 200 nits at 25% APL SDR is low even compared to other OLEDs with similar pixel density and aperture ratios. Sony's 42" OLED gets 50% brighter in the same conditions...

Steam deck doesn't even have the cpu power to decompress game installs faster than 80 MB/s

So this will probably be a marginal improvement over LG's own model that only hits 200 nits peak brightness.

The steam deck only supports ray tracing in Windows. The RADV drivers used in Steam OS do not support ray tracing. Ray tracing support can be enabled in newer versions of RADV with an environment variable but the performance is terrible.

Doesn't matter how big a case is or how well ventilated it is, external radiators will always breathe better. My external 560mm radiator performs about as well as my S8 with 23 x 120mm fans worth of rads and my Entoo Elite with 16 x 140mm fans worth of rads. Both of those cases are basically...

Except there's people who want to use one machine for both gaming and productivity. It should be up to the scheduler to figure out how to confine threads to a single ccd when necessary.

I've been sticking flagship CPUs and GPUs into SFF cases for a couple generations now. The 4090FE still fits into some SFF cases and should work well in ones that take good advantage of flow through coolers. The C4-SFX(if it ever actually releases) looks like it would work well even in an air...

That's not going to be true for modern chips and good coolers because today's manufacturing processes have such an enormous amount of leakage current. A hotter chip will have higher resistance and more leakage current so the same chip at the same voltage with the same workload will draw less...

The adaptive triggers and haptics only work if you disable steam input. You can disable this just for specific games by right clicking the game in steam and going to properties.

HWinfo is a lot better than hwmonitor and it integrates with RTSS if you want to add anything to your overlay in game.

I was being completely serious. 11th gen is so garbage that some reviewers haven't bothered including it in benchmarks anymore.

Lets all just pretend 11th gen doesn't exist.
