I'm thinking riing fans atop 30mm rad, with the side panels clearanced around the fan "barrels", and the top fan flanges removed, would be a badass looking mod

Now I want one of each LOL

Dan - great to see you continuing to optimize your ideas and support the mITX community! I had good luck with 4.3GHz air cooled CPU + dual GPU in a Shuttle, back in the day, and the power supply fan helped get heat out of the case. Power supplies can typically survive warm air intake, though...

great that it works on big military targets, but I really want to see this popping quad-copters like popcorn

but does it have RGB around the IHS? b/c I'm not sure which market segment this chip targets, but I'm sure they NEED it

Takes a while to get the kinks out. Meanwhile, seagull mist and shore leave :ROFLMAO:

Only 830 - guess I'd better up my voltage and dust the cobwebs off this 6+ year old CPU ;)

FWIW, I'm basically running my i7-980 as if it were an X5650 - hot bclk and low multiplier for better IO and 4.0GHz all-cores. CFL at stock is trying really hard to maintain Kabby single core performance within a thermal envelope, but also deliver better multi vs Kabby (eg. 6 * 80% clock > 4 *...

cinematics have banding - step one, make that go away beyond that - go outside. wow, that's some dynamic range. now look at a Waterhouse painting. then work on the game - you're welcome

patiently waiting for re-lid and 5.0 all-core to be the new norm

what could possibly go wrong?

lol but yeah, by Dec/Jan we will have a whole new crop of choices - and maybe GDDR6 GPUs

Came here to see who said Motorola - was not disappointed

All the new economics is deflationary. Automation/efficiency engineers the cost out of both supply chain and production. Then competition at lower cost drives down price. Factory owners take a cut from price, but price is shrinking. Probably the only thing holding back faster adoption of...

Yeah, in theory, given the bandwidth to do 8k @ 60Hz, should be no problem pushing variable 4k up to 240Hz on the same interface by shoving more packets. Not that a TV would know what to do with that. But it at least suggests 4k VRR will become the new normal, as well as movies at "real 24Hz" on...

I keep hoping head mounted displays will get good enough, light enough,and wireless enough that I can stop buying silly giant sheets of glass </sigh> Anyway, check out the soon to be ratified HDMI2.1 spec for glorious variable refresh rate - it is neither vsync nor gsync, but presumably the...

And as the trusted intermediary, you log the time, place, and participants involved in every exchange of contact information. Monetize that data. Retire As for the topic at hand, I look forward to cheap renewable energy and automation providing an acceptable standard of living to all, and as...

I'm lazy too - as evidence by the dust ...but that side panel is a hinged door, so easy picture FWIW, probably makes sense to stick the foam to the inside of the dan side panel, so just part of the foam hits the frame of a fan / GPU shroud, and the rest of the foam rolls over the edge of the...

yeah Pr0Pain & richiegore got it covered - simple and effective if you need to bridge a gap between a side panel and your GPU, a rectangle of adhesive foam tape is easier than 3D printing: https://www.amazon.com/Frost-King-R734H-Sponge-Rubber/dp/B000EU65WS (choose one tall enough for the gap...

I haven't seen the LGA2066 Application Guide floating around the web yet, so I can't just sort and diff the pin names.That said, I think: * mostly power and ground * less a few to cover the fact that some of the repackaged chips have onboard secondary voltages, while others need those from the...

$100 per port + some free 1gig ports. I'll pass, but that's a great price. I'd definitely ask about compatibility for transceivers though - that's definitely an area that can be a pain. Specifically, if SFP+ DAC / SFP+ cable style are supported, which brands [those tend to be even less expensive...

I've been doing tech a while, including being at Cisco back in 2002 when they and other vendors had pre-standard 100GbE and no market for it, and I'd counter that wifi is good enough a lot of the time (usually "just works"). I mean, of course wired is what you use for servers, or between your...

Using hydro to run computers creates no net difference in heat - the water gives up 1000MW of potential energy when it gives up height, either in a turbine or along a river. Hydro also releases no carbon. Because science. Or do I just not realize everyone is trolling/joking? B/C if you want...

wow, really surprised by all the skepticism. I mean, sometimes (2-3 times a month) I have to grab a cable, but most of the time wifi is fine - and damn is it easy-mode. tighter multi-access use of spectrum sounds great

aXtreeeeeeem! :ROFLMAO: well, now I know not to buy a motherboard until I can get one with .11ax LOL

Apple wasn't the first to put email and web on a mobile device, but they did catapult it into mainstream. I don't care who makes AR mainstream - just somebody do it already!

Kids these days. They'll Go Live from anywhere.

Old games run fine on a single 1070 Current games are not produced to take advantage of SLI If you need all the GPUs for mining, genomics, AI, whatever R&D - a PCIe switch backplane + cheap host CPU w/IPMI is a better option (or Cloud if the utilization/economics make sense) 64 lanes are...

Wow, OK. After reading a bit, these guys are pretty far down the path of checking fabrication techniques - either due to expedience for the sake of their own work, or possibly with an eye toward commercialization. The wafers need to be made in high vacuum, but once passivated many of the...

Great analysis Dan_D - really ties a lot together I'm looking at X299 as bringing HEDT to parity with Consumer line, rather than leaping past the Consumer stuff (as we had come to expect in X58 and X79 days). I mean, if I actually utilize 6+ CPU cores or GPUs more than 40% of the hours in a...

This stuff won't change life out in the country, but if you're within $20 of a major city, you can drive there and pay $40 for parking, or not own a car and pay $20 each way. It changes how you organize errands - instead of planning 5 stops in a loop, you plan based on what you can grab with...

Gotta agree w/Chapeau - cross-flow in place of the PSU is about the only place with room for a rad, unless you want it external. FWIW, a 2x92mm rad has 17.5% more frontal area than a 1x120mm. You may even have room to throw one of these in the case: Edit: Dual 92mm rads I can find are 229mm...

7 years. Ran Prime95 yesterday. Still 70° load / 30-36° idle

Telemetry is how they know I frequently paste screenshots into Paint, so they know to monetize that

:ROFLMAO:

Yeah, nothing like getting a few friends together for a Knox run. In an MMO, I usually spend most of my playtime doing instance runs with friends. But as J3RK says, tough to strike a balance between "massive" and all the development cost, waiting for new content to drop, etc and being able to...

Accountability is going out of fashion

got the invite yesterday and meh. TBH I like my shooters without class mechanics / progression - every toon in the map equally spec'd, and let's compete on skill. Unlocks for appearance mods tho. Gotta compete to unlock them the moment they drop I understand game vendors feel they need to...
