Asche

@dizmo +1
Yep exactly.
 
@valdyrgramr Yes, but water is a strong natural barrier against radiation. And also against neutron rays. That's (partly) why nuclear plant reactor are built with a pool above the reactor.
So the ocean could be locally contaminated by human activity, and it's under close look by world wide agency to monitor the decay of the radioactivity in those area (if they still exist, apart from Fukushima obv.)

Not really. Direct area perhaps but it's not that bad. Plus it's a very small plant of its replacing only 48mW.
So all those sea based nuclear tests and the nuclear submarines that have been lost must have caused world catastrophe! Oh.. They didn't. They affected the direct regions slightly, but it's not something that's as bad as you're making it seem. 

It's funny to see people getting angry because Apple is using credits and offsets.  Yeah, you could argue that it's the corporate equivalent of a clickbait headline, but that's still more than many companies do.  What's the eco track record for your custom gaming rig? (And that's not meant to dunk on your rig, just to make you think about the companies involved in it.)
 
I'm reminded more than a little of the people who swore they'd never use Apple gear because it was made by people working in rough conditions, only to buy a Windows PC made in identical conditions, an Xbox made in identical conditions, an Android phone made in identical conditions... it's less about actual concern and more about perpetuating platform wars.

No. Drop in the ocean. You can mine with a cellular connection.

To have installed my Vive in random location for demo (LAN for example), i find it pretty easy to setup after all.
You just put the base station somewhat facing each other, use one Wand controller to set the edge of the play area, and.... done.
I mean, how could it be more straightforward ? (Yeah ; that the base station scan the room ofc )

so 3 guys here are vouching?
either way didnt need another topic when we have one

Update 3/13 5:40pm ET
Reported over at Motherboard are a few new elements to the story.
Dan Guido, founder of security firm Trail of Bits, was contacted by CTS Labs last week to confirm the exploits and the code.
Stated Guido. Guido has confirmed to AnandTech that Trail of Bits has had no prior contact with CTS-Labs, stating that
Guido goes on to say that CTS-Labs
In a tweet, Guido goes on to say that Trail of Bits was paid for their research time, clarifying further that 
Reuters has published that Trail of Bits were paid $16000 for the time spent reviewing the code.
Motherboard also stated that due to the escalated privileged required for these attacks, these are 'second stage' vulnerabilities, requiring the attacker to gain administrative access first before installing relevant (potentially undetectable) spying software on a network.
Also reported at Motherboard, CTS-Labs CEO, Ido Li On, has stated that the issues are
CTS-Labs decided to state to Motherboard when they notified AMD of the issue, but CTO Yaron Luk-Zilberman defended their timing decisions, calling it a "public interest disclosure". Luk-Zilberman is also quoted as saying
CTS-Labs has reached out to discuss the issue, but have not responded to my email.
Update 3/14 4:45am ET
We have arranged a call with CTS-Labs today.
Update 3/14 5:00am ET
Reported by Ars Technica, a second security firm has now spoken publicly about being contacted by CTS-Labs for verification of the vulnerabilities. Gadi Evron, CEO of Cymmetria, stated in a series of tweets that:
He knows CTS-Labs and vouches for their technical capabilities, but has no knowledge of their business model All the vulnerabilites do not require physical access (a simple exe is all that is needed) Fallout does not require a reflash of the BIOS CTS-Labs believes that the public has a right to know if a vendor they are using makes them vulnerable, which is why no substantial lead time was given. Quoted by Ars is David Kanter, founder of Real World Technologies and industry consultant, who verifies that even though these are secondary stage attacks, they can still be highly important. David states that while
Ars also quotes Dan Guido, who states that all that is needed to enable these exploits is the credentials of a single administrator: 

On the French website Tom's Hardware, relaying Chinese website "Hardware Battle", a capture of a synthetic test of the allegedly 2700X, show some good performance compare to his rival, the Intel 8700K.
http://www.tomshardware.fr/articles/ryzen-7-2000-processeur-amd-benchmarks,1-66968.html
 
I translate for you :
 
The Chinese "Hardware Battle" just publish new benchmarks of Ryzen 2000 (allegedly 2700X) CPU. The website doesn't give the exact model and we have to wait the launch of the new family of chip in April to confirm those result.
They are interesting, because they show that XFR 2.0 of Ryzen 2000 could reach 4.35Ghz, offering a boost in performance relative to first Ryzen.
Ryzen 2000 could take the leap against Coffe Lake 8700K according to the result in 3D Mark FireStrike Ultra and Cinebench R15. It is important to take this with a bit of salt, and wait for more ample test.
Results of those benchmarks are nonetheless encouraging. this boost gain in performance seem to be due to memory optimization,  AIDA64 is showing a non-negligible drop in latency.
 
Another source from videocardz.com (Thx @Carclis)
Slide from the Zen+ presentation leaked (Thx @Taf the Ghost)

Most of the results point to a 4.1 Ghz effective clock, as throughput of the Zen+ shouldn't be all that different. However, changes to the Cache & Latency won't show up until we get extensive gaming benchmarks. Some of the results will just be due to faster clocks, but IPC uplift will show up in a few spots. It's about what has been expected for a bit: 1-5% IPC uplift depending on task, upwards of 8-15% clock uplift.  (Which is really, really good for an intra-generation improvement cycle.)
 
The fun part is when the 2800X starts to leak out. Been some credible info suggesting 3.9 base, 4.3 boost and 4.5 XFR. If that's true, that's exactly the speed AMD needs to hit to saturate a 1080 TI.
 
Though, with all of this, if the clocks are right, it's going to be the 2600X, coming probably in June, that's going to be the golden part again in the stack. 

The code change in the Linux kernel does not make any difference between Intel and AMD processors

So would you watch a movie that showed the build up of LTT? Like the background of the people and tech though the ages. Maybe they could even part it out as a series or something.

Considering that a mask, realized by specialist from hollywood (if i recall the keynote correctly), didn't fooled FaceID, how in hell, could a fancy picture do it ?
I'm legitimately curious.

As long as some day, it'll be available for free, it doesn't matter.

I think he mean, "on the forum" of LTT.
I'm a music writer btw look my signature.

Well, most of the time :
- Play video game until i see that i'm late, and it's gonna be hard to wake up tomorrow
- Rush in my bed
- Realizing that i need to pee...
- Going to bathroom to brush my teeth
- Returning to bed
- Realizing that i'm thirsty
- etc... until 1 hour later, when i'm finally asleep

Lol this reminds me of this kid at my school who bought titanfall but didn't even have xbox live so he returned it lol.

Yeah no big deal, don't try the devil, leave it that way.

Just one thing before i start answer : Fundamentally i don't need the TECs, it was just here for the fun, so it's really all about experimentation with those.
 
1) No i will not need the large rad if i'm using the TECs, that's why i got 2 valves in the system, i will choose the path of water between TEC, or RAD, or both (you will understand why).
EDIT : Oh and, the TEC's will not be activated all the time, but only if the computer if going too hot. For idle or basic demand, only the large radiator will be used.
2) I will make sure i will not end up with a PWM situation, by using some hard hysteresis, and maybe clock counting in off state after be in on state for each TEC.
3) I have this feeling since i started actually, but i will start this way to go, and i have plan to re-tube the system if it fail. On my second shot, I'll be using all the radiator i got (internal + the large external) to cool the TECs, by using valves to "re-route" on the fly the external rad, to the TEC's hot face cooling circuit.
Like this actually : (sorry its french, and its an old sketch, but you see the point)
 
 
Reminder (for people who don't read all) : This sketch you see below is not the actual routing.
 
The top "Waterbloc Peltier" is the cold face, and the bottom one is the "hot face"
PC is here, connected to the // //, including the pump (not showed here)
The pump you see here take the relay when both "Electrovanne" (means Electro valve) are closed, to use the large radiator for cooling the TEC's hot face.
 
 
Added to that thing, the TECs i'm using are probably to weak to handle the charge, but i will see that when the case will be fully programmed.
 
4) Using linear voltage control is a bit tricky in this case, and can generate a lot of inducted parasites, i prefer not to use them, and i don't have more PWM output available so...
I plan to let the cooling circuit of the TEC running after the TECs is turn off, until the temperature of the hot side reach ~ the ambient temp. It will be pretty safe.
In my program, there will be a lot of watch dog to be sure than nothing bad happen.
 
 
 
I have considered that, but honestly, i prefer start testing it, fix all the default i will got, and when i'm sure it will be 100% safe on functional, make thing beautifully with sleeving, wire routing, etc.

You are not the first to tell me that ! damn it, i really should do that, you'r right. i need to buy one first of all, and i hope i have enough available pin in the Arduino !

Thanks !
 
 
I see it the same way , its so much fun for me to build that ! it been almost a year i'm working on it !
 
Adding some new pictures today :
 
Shunt (for measure the Ampere drain by the system on the 12v rail) :


 
It is placed under the PSU :

Watercase on (with pump off) :

Left screen : Internal 200mm fan in the watercase, right screen : reservoir of the pc loop :

2*16 screen :




TECs :

Connection to the outside :


Reservoir of PC loop :

custom I/O board :

I start to see the end of it ! I'm waiting more watercooling part for complete the tubing, then i will need to continue the programming of the Arduino, there is only... 30% of the job done i think... It stay all the TECs + electrical valve to build, and how to deal with default like Flow going down to 0, or that kind of stuff.

I'm currently tubing, so, pictures in some days.

Hi ! I'm Asche, i'm a French people of 25 years old (i don't use english usually so, i'm sorry if i make weird sentence).
I recently discovert the youtube video of Linustechtips teams, and, the way they are done, it's just fantastic compare to what i know of french review.
So i decide to join this forum, and as an introduce, i want share with you my fancy crazy projet (i call it personnally "what the f*** project" you will see why later).
 
If you don't want read, ok i understand, so i've make a video for you (enjoy my crapy french accent) : http://youtu.be/TnLe8-Of5V0
 
 
I got watercooling in my PC right now, with juste a big radiator (9*120 mm) external of course. the whole system is controled by an "Aquaero", this is a very great product, i think its the "ultimate way" to control a watercooling loop.
And i though, "Aquaero is nice that true, but with the Arduino, i'm sure i can do better, not in term of easy install or user interface, but in term of fonctionallity".
 
The project :
So my wish was to build a custom case (actually at first, it was only about building a control panel) which is contain the pump for the PC loop, some TECs, a watercooling loop for the TECs, probably piloted vavle, a control panel connected to the Arduino Mega, and finally, the WTF Feature.... Cameras !
 
Schema :
 
Tecs layout :

 
Internal layout :


 
 
So yeah, i've started this crazy project in Junuary, and it's not finish yet...
 
The frame :
I started with a nice framework (made by a friend) :
 
After that, i starting to add the rads :
 
Then, adding the top cover panels :


 
Adding the screens  :
 
Adding the analog vumeters for showing information (Truly guys, coolest way to see what's happen in the system uh ?)
 

 
Mounting the PC pump (D5 with EK res) :
 
And the XSPC res/pump for TEC hot face cooling :
 
Covering the top panel :
 

 
Making front panel (Two temp sensor reader, one Voltmeter and an Ammeter) :
 
 
Making of Valves :
 
Just a big servomotor (17kg.nm) connected to a 90° manual valve :

 

 

 

 
 
Proof of working : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzthbJSoLeo
 
 
Custom analog meter background :
 

 

 

 

 
Light up :

 
 
 
Good view of the watercase with covers :
Sweet

I got 6 of them (72W) and 2 other (110W) from different website :

 
Like that ? :

 
Thermal grease :

 
Done !

 
Attaching :

 
 
 
Assembling, tubing :
 
New mid-plate :
 

 

 

 
Got some stuff :
 
Tubing the TECs :
 
Putting the two valve together :
 
Straigh to the pump :
 
Adding by-pass valve (in case of the electric valve fails) :
 
Tubing the whole thing :
 

 
There is two flowmeter for checking the flow of the two valve, there is one here :

 
 
 
Backplate :
 

 

 
I/O of the back, there is 2 connectors for going into the PC, and the big 9*120 rad (still external, and moslty of time, fanless), 4 holes to put tube through.
 

 

 
 
 
 
Electronics :
not hard electronics, but still, i don't have fancy hardware to do my own board, so i got breadboard instade :
12 hours of work, non-stop :
 

 

 
Panels wire :
 

 
 
 
 
 
Wanna see actual state ? click below !
 
 
I work on the Arduino program with a friend (name Holblin) and i hope i will show you some result soon !
 
Thanks for reading ! Stay tune for more news !
 
 
PS : Original thread (french forum) : http://www.modding.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4042
PS2 : Oh yeah guys, please don't start with the "TEC are useless" war with me, i totally know that, and i just want to have fun with this project, my system will never fight with a DOD or real chiller, it's not the goal, i juste want to reach below the ambient temp.

That's damn good
