So best to run pure distilled water, and only a silver kill coil optionally? Guess I've been wasting money for years tossing in additives

I recently got one, as I wanted to check out the current gen VR tech. I hadn't used anything since the consumer gen 1 occulus rift. Its a huge improvement over that, love the light weight. I haven't used an index or anything like that, so can't compare to those. The visual quality does drop off...

If these numbers are legit, I'll get them for my next build. I was going to go with phanteks t30s. That said, I'm kind of sus of these numbers, I didn't think there was that much room for improvement left for fans

I read rumors that Intel is supposed to finally release 2nd gen optane SSDs, which are supposed to be pcie 4. I'd love to pick one up for a boot drive as well.

Too bad no plans for a 2tb pro, the 960 pro 2tb was a nice (if expensive) option when it was new.

Thanks for adding that info, sounds like they have the right guys to make it happen. Yeah, intel was coasting for years with their 4 core lineup. Plus, as Apple, how could you even believe Intel's roadmap and trust their ability to deliver, after the repeated failures with 10nm, security issues...

Apple lost the plot on the professional laptop market when they dropped to only 4 USB C ports on the MPB around 2015. Sure it looked neat and the ports had high bandwidth, but who wants to have to carry around a sack of adapters when you go to a meeting etc. Too bad as before the retina macbooks...

I ran a G400 Max, really loved that card

Wow, that makes sense. Intel inventing new ways to scumbag it up. I was wondering why all with all these new laptops coming out with high end gpus, haven't seen one with the new AMD chips. I was also hoping to see something like a Lenovo x1 carbon extreme with a Ryzen 6 or 8 core proc and oled...

Thanks for the reply, I will be watching this. I imagine it was frustrating figuring out what was wrong. I wish they would walk back this change. I have been using a aquaero 6 with pwm splitters for rad fans as well. I don't understand the need for "protection" on fans either?

This is a real bummer. I have used noctua alot in the past, and didn't expect this. I was planning on getting a bunch of the black nf a12s whenever those are finally released. I did a quick search and didn't find anywhere else talking about it. When you talked to support did they indicate if...

In that video he mentions he was able to overclock it, any ideas how? I thought it wasn't possible to overclock the Rome epyc cpus.

How amazing would the OG thief games be, since lighting is a huge part of the game.

Apparently they are planning gen 2 optane ssds after all, sometime in the future, found this recent article https://blocksandfiles.com/2019/09/26/gen-2-optane-bursts-into-life/ Edit to add, the slide in the article only mentions datacenter products, but hopefully that would mean consumer ones...

Finally built a new system for the wife, and used one of those 900p 280gb cards that was on sale when I picked it up last year. Was able to sell the star citizen code and bring the cost of the drive to around 220$ from memory. The optane drive really does make for a snappy system drive, it is...
