    Chimney Cooling - stack effect

    I pilfered a bunch of Alphacool Monsta radiators from work that would be perfect for this type of setup. I think I have about 6 240mm radiators sitting around.

    Seasonic PSU burn smell

    Most likely import/export taxes.

    Data center in Space

    True. Theoretically, they could set up in the permanent polar shadows and erect solar panels on the poles, that way they would just need to rotate the panels to keep them in sunlight. The lunar surface is also supposed to be an excellent source of tritium, currently the best fuel for nuclear fusion.

    Data center in Space

    Lunar surface ranges from 120 C when facing the sun to -253 C in the permanently shadowed polar craters. Also, one lunar day is about 30 earth days since the moon is tidally locked to us. Cooling and power is not going to be simple on the moon either.

    Amazon no longer showing 1 Star Reviews

    Your screenshot proves nothing. Review removals happen all the time and primarily targets 1 and 5 star reviews because they're faked more often than 2-4 star reviews. For there to be shady practices happening, as you are insinuating, you need proof of systematic removals of legitimate 1 star...

    12VHPWR &12v 2x6 Fire Risk Discussion

    No matter how you feel, he's not wrong. At this point, the only thing that will force nVidia to act rapidly is if it actually sets fire to a house. Maybes and possibilities mean nothing in the legal world without proof. If you want to spearhead a legal challenge that has any chance of winning...

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    Can't make the connectors thicker- they're at their physical limits. Wiring can be thicker but they're not the core of the problem.

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    Absolutely. There is no technical reason why they couldn't have each pin feed its own set of VRMs, which would solve the load balancing issue. It wouldn't solve the fact that each pin is being run close to the limit, but melted connectors would be far less likely to occur with separated pins...

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    A larger wire gauge does little to help the localized heating caused by connector pins not designed to handle the amount of current they're experiencing. The primary problem are the pins. Wires are a distant second. Actually, the primary problem is the common bus, which then cascades into the...

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    The implementation fails basic standard electrical wiring standards. nVidia does not need to be defended for saving pennies on thousand dollar GPUs.

    12VHPWR &12v 2x6 Fire Risk Discussion

    Yes, but with a difference. nVidia isn't paying for it, us consumers are. And the kicker is that a 3rd party solution costs more than if nVidia had simply done it right the first time and passed the expense on.

    12VHPWR &12v 2x6 Fire Risk Discussion

    I'm pretty sure most of the savings is coming from the PCB design- the single bus instead of separating each pin into its own trace.

    So why cards?

    It's possible, but it'll become very limited in capability quite fast. CPUs are general processors- they can do everything, but they don't do any one thing particularly fast. GPUs are a subset of dedicated processors- they do very few things but do them very fast. ASICs and NPUs also belong to...

    Hardware recommendation for pfSense install

    Any reason for 4 NICs? Typically for pfSense, you only need one in and one out.

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    Which are contradictory statements in terms of end goal and are no different than a politician playing both sides of the field. To get nVidia to change the design, this needs to be made as big a deal as possible. Saying reports are overblown implies nVidia doesn't need or can drag their feet on...
