    xgn got a reaction from J.b091 in What do people hate about Apple?   
    I wouldent say hate... But i avoid it. I dont know how to use their OS. I dont want to learn it either.
    Its overpriced. Like expensive clothes brand however that is warranted in some cases. Thats the biggest dealbreaker for me.
    Also some business strategy seems shady. I heard about planned obsolescence of first iphones. I also heard its expensive / harder to repair products.
    Not something i want to get involved in.

    I don't think he knew that RAM gets cleared when the PC turns off Or maybe he was playing pretend.

    damn, they're the worse, the PSU didn't even have a chance to explode from overclocking and abuse. They should take a note from Samsung (pun intended)

    Well the temp is below freezing, so yes, it would definetly freeze. Maybe not a ton if the water moves very fast, but it would probably become like a slushy, be a general mess; and if you turned off your PC it freeze solid very quickly. Condensation would be a big problem.
     
    Why would you want to watercool it if ambient is already -20C? And what the hell do you wear when your using your PC lol. I picture you if full antartic gear, with huge mittens trying to use your PC. "Okay I played for 10 minutes now for a 15 minute break to warm my fingers".

    If you need someone else to design a loop for you then IMO you shouldn't be doing a custom loop. Look at something like this:
    https://www.ekwb.com/shop/aio/predator its EK Water Blocks custom AIO with quick disconnect to add extra parts like a GPU block if you want it.
    EKWB also has kits like this:

    In a car there is a difference but in pc the temperatures is not that high and the flow rates are so high that it reach a equalibrium.

    Hi,
    Well last night I was building my high end rig with 2 1080,s an asus formula viii, an i7 6700k and such. I put everything together check the fittings very carefully, non of them was leaking. I put it in the case and run it, I have been checking every fitting for the leak but everything was fine than all of sudden there was smoke everywhere and the pc shutdown, I dismount everything and found out that the water block of my 2nd gpu was leaking not from fittings not from anywhere where the water was supposed to be, but the liquid wen from the circular area to the bottom end and dropped directly into the PCI slot which caused the burning. I might be stupid enough to run the whole system but the fault was not from my hand. The block itself was not in good condition.  Now I have burned my gpu, motherboard and PSU not sure about the cpu I just hope its safe. Now I won't have any sort of warrant from asus as the gpu was dissembled to mount the water block neither in case of mobo cause it was because of water, I might by lucky enough to get a replacement from corsair as it was not the case that the liquid went into it. But shall I claim to EK because of there faulty product?

    Try a different PSU, if you don't have one, borrow it from somewhere.
     
    Also, take everything out of the case and test it on a piece of cardboard or wood. If it turns on normally with the original PSU, you're dealing with a short somewhere, presumably something in the case like a misplaced standoff.

    66C under load and have zero fan mode when it's below 60C or something.
    Jay stress test it and the cooler actually turns itself off coz it goes below 60C then turn back on when it hits that mark again.
    A great aircool card.

    xgn reacted to AshleyAshes in High End PC Builds Bore Me   
    I love Scrapyard Wars and that's for one reason: Because high end PC builds are boring.  What do you have to do to make a high end PC build?  Spend a lot of money.  As long as you have the money, you can put it together.  Boring.
     
    I love seeing people bargain and scrap and improvise to put a machine together.  I love seeing how well an i5 2500K can perform even today if you pair it with a decent graphics card.  I love seeing what graphics cards can still be competitive in todays popular games like CS:GO or LOL.  I love seeing 'Older but pretty okay' PC parts have life put into them instead of getting tossed into the dumpster.  There's so many ways to repurpose or revive hardware and that is the most interesting thing in PCs I think.  Keeping build prices low by avoiding the newest shinies.
     
    Even for myself, I've wanted to do an ITX build but had no motivation to build some 'new' ITX build for the fun of it.  Then I came across an Intel Socket G2 ITX mobo that would take the CPU from my six year old Sandy Bridge Mobile -Laptop-.  Rebuild my laptop into a desktop I replace the laptop?  And that ITX build will be Sandy Bridge with four cores, hyper threading, and ready for any big fat graphics card?  Now that's the kind of stuff that's fun to see and build.
     
    I get the appeal of 'High End Builds'.  People love to see raw high specs.  They want to see someone build something that they couldn't afford to build themselves.  There's the fantasy and power of it.  I'd prefer the approach like seen in golf, the less strokes needed to reach the hole the better.
