  1. Isn't moving half an inch to the middle of the heat spreader to be dissipated a lot of material? The water in an AiO doesn't always reach the edge of the copper plate, and the plate is very thin so its capacity for heat is limited.
  2. IHS still have hot spots. Less distance the heat has to travel to be dissipated will greatly effect the maximum performance. This is why GamersNexus has tested shaving down the IHS, polishing the IHS, and Shaving down the core which greatly effected the heat distribution on Intel Chips
  3. So after watching about 5 hours worth of reviews and seeing reviewers with numbers very different than each other and coming to similar but different conclusions, I have started to wonder if the deviation in testing comes from the selected coolers? Ryzen 3000 is very off center as far as the heat considerations. There is actually no chip in the middle of the heat spreader. AiO's and most water blocks heavily favor the center of the Heat Spreader as traditionally this has been where the considerations of heat was, but after watching Paul's Hardware get some of the best Ryzen 3000 results with a Noctua air cooler (actually getting better sustained clocks 3700X with XFR than der8auer said was possible with manual OC), i started to wonder if the increased thickness of the Air Coolers copper plate and evenly distributed heat pipes might make more sense for a off center chip like Ryzen 3000. I am also wondering if maybe AiOs need to be optimized for this new off center heat distribution in order to get the best performance out of the Ryzen 3000 Cores. I would love to see someone test this theory sooner than later... As i plan on upgrading over the next 3 months to 3900X.
  4. Custom water cooling in an actual scrapyard!
  5. Linus needs to step up his cooling game... I want this just with a lots of red instead of green. note to mods. i was super torn if this was suppose to go in Cooling or Video Cards... its from Nvidia so i decided on Video Cards
  6. Yeah of course you will hit an equilibrium just like every other cooling solution but the water sitting there could absorb more heat and the whole thing would act like a "heat battery", so you could complete a 20 minute render at 5.1 ghz and the dissipate the heat over the next hour or two of regular work. AIO has a low volume of water and heats up quickly, and this would be equivalent to putting the Reservoir and the block together in a traditional water loop, so actual space savings. Additional weight also "might" apply more pressure to the cpu? or more even pressure? (i'm just grasping at straws but who knows, i'm not an engineer) I also just like when people do pointless but interesting engineering lol one thing i would do is extend the outtake to the bottom forcing the water to flow through the heat sink. Idea: This could also be designed more like a LN2 pot, with hole, channels, and fins through out a block of copper to better optimize flow and heat dispersion, however i'm positive that's 10X harder to build. Definitely the ice was a huge factor. You pretty much never start with water at 0 C in a traditional loop unless you're gamers nexus. PS> didn't know some else posted it, was pretty low view count so i figured it was fresh.
  7. take Jays AC Unit and pump it through a small box build around the CPU heat sink then plumb it to blow over the GPU heat sink. It could definitely work
  8. This looks like an interesting concept. Would love to see Linus 3d print and over engineer something like this with a proper Radiator. I would assume it would make more stable temps than a traditional loop while achieving better or similar performance to a typical system. Then they could even go further and design a fin stack with heat pipes that is the same size as a larger AIO block like the new ASUS one. https://youtu.be/bXFxuqzLu1Q
  9. We needed a PCIe 8x video card for Hyper-V/Remote App server we are building .... needed to mod an old video card to work. We had an old ATI FirePro V4800 lying around with a dead fan. Here is what we can up with!
  10. I think my HD7950 has seen some better days and I don't like the fact i need a second card to get the monitor support i desire! RX 480 is exactly what the doctor ordered! Please!
