External Water Cooling
BoisterousCoder replied to BoisterousCoder's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Would I ever build this pc? No. However, I think might have some small benefits over traditional water cooling and a mineral oil pc. Unlike the mineral oil pc, you don't get any of your components oily. Also, unlike traditional water cooling, you get a huge heatsink for more heat transfer to the water. -

well, the reason I specifically mentioned modding an air-cooled case was because some of them have metal bars going from the heatsink to the case, so the heat can dissipate throught the metal bar to case rather than the air. I apologize for not making that clear. -
I was wondering how feasible it would be to take an air cooled pc, put beast hardware in it, seal it up, and drop it in a bucket it of water. Eventually, my idea is to use the pc case as a giant water cooled heatsink. Would you need to pump the water still? Using this method could you also get a fanless setup? Is this just generally a bad idea anyway? Either way, I think it would make a good LTT video.

I am looking at trying to build a new gaming pc since I can't install a Vive wireless WiGig card on my current laptop. I want this build to be mini ITX, but mini ITX only has 1 PCIe slot and the WiGig card uses another PCIe 1x slot. My current plan is to adapt an M.2 slot into a 4x PCIe slot for the WiGig card. However, I was wondering if I could somehow adapt the M.2 port into 4 PCIe 1x slots so I can use use the other 3 PCIe lanes for more USB ports. Is this even possible?

TYou were right, cinebench only got a little under 3GHz

It was this one https://www.passmark.com/reports/cpu-heat-generation-benchmarks.htm

Is there a multicore stress test that I can run to test your theory?

Does my edit make things more clear?

It doesn't hardly ever reach 4GHz in games, but it almost consistently is at 4GHz when under synthetic loads.

I have the i7-8550U CPU https://ark.intel.com/products/122589/Intel-Core-i7-8550U-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_00-GHz and I am getting the 4GHz in synthetics

I have an external GPU, so my GPU is not creating the heat, and the CPU benchmark show that the CPU heat alone isn't enough. However, I am looking into the turbo boost only working on one core theory.

I got a new laptop with a very good CPU (Spectre x350 15"). However, when I go to play games on it, I kept getting CPU bottlenecked in some games. Also, my CPU frequency was way lower than maximum despite my CPU usage being basically 100%. To double check I didn't get the wrong processor or something, I ran a CPU benchmark, and my laptop hit its full fequency and kept it like it was supposed to. I think that my laptop is not increasing the frequency with Intel Turbo Boost when I need the power like it is supposed to. Furthermore, I checked to make sure that I didn't set a max frequency for my CPU. Can someone please help me get my processor to fully turbo boost in games?

intel optane Reformat intell optane to be boot drive?
BoisterousCoder posted a topic in Storage Devices
I was looking at buying the GS63VR. I am already going to replace the existing hard drive, and install my own SSD in the other drive bay, but I thought I might be able to use the m.2 port the install an Intel Optane SSD. However, I since I know Intel Optane won't help an SSD, I was wondering if I could reformat it the Intel Optane to act as my boot device. Also, is it worth the cost? I do not want to spend the money on a larger m.2 SSD since I already have a SATA SSD. I just want an m.2 SSD that is just big enough to boot from.
