  1. When speaking about a swarm of drones, it comes to mind they would fly in some kind of tight formation. But no... They can be spread out over a very wide range of area, flying low. With a great number of them, it becomes easy to quickly gather a lot of data about enemy positions and advantageous paths forward etc. Then they can team work, sharing info, like playing a tactics game with powerful AI. Can the humans keep up, or will it be like what we have seen with the deeplearning demos against top human players.
  2. I have to admit I don't have any experience with this (yet). If it is possible select microphone separately from audio output in the voice chat, it should work? But it's a little concerning if you cannot hear the game atm with the voice chat. You should get to the point where you can hear the game and chat with good audio, but cannot talk -> add mic. Might be that there is some software or Windows limitations, you should research a bit before deciding what to do... Try checking the audio settings in game and chat
  3. I was just researching this for a bit since I got my first bluetooth headphones... The thing is, bluetooth audio has many different modes and codecs. Unfortunately, the high quality audio modes do not support voice back (microphone). To be able to get audio stream in both directions the HFP (Hands-Free Profile) or HSP (Headset Profile) needs to be used, which both have low bit rate mono audio. I guess the Bluetooth tech has still something to be improved. In Teams / Zoom this most likely is a non issue since the audio quality is meh anyway, but in games it probably sucks. Alternative would be to use dedicated mic I guess.
  4. I got mine today. Testing them out at the moment. And oh my, oh my I remember when I got my Philips Fidelio X2 as my first better headphones years ago and I was grinning ear to ear to ear... And now I'm grinning ear to ear again Also got Creative BT-W3 for bluetooth Aptx LL connectivity (there should also be cheaper options), since my old desktop has no bluetooth. Working great. The headphones are best with bluetooth and the ANC on, which has a bit of white noise in silence, but not a problem when you are actually listening to something.
  5. Haha, what I can tell you, is they are legit at least. Saw someone wearing those headphones on the street the other day. I'm also considering getting the VMK20 which seems to get really nice reviews for the price (most are in finnish though).
  6. 8 years. Sandy Bridge is still strong.
  7. You may need to use an angle piece adapter that has only female threads + two regular male compression fittings: Example 1 x this: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-af-angled-90-2f-g1-4-nickel + 2x this: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-acf-fitting-10-16mm-nickel for 90 turn.
  8. Methanol water mixture is best for low temperature cooling applications. It's the worst for your health though...
  9. My Corsair AX860i for example seems to have the over current protection set to 110% of the rate power. So it can actually deliver over 900 W.
  10. Need to buy just for those Timespy scores... Not much other use.
  11. Yeah as you said, it's too low Vcore for the GPU clock. In MSI Afterburner the voltage adjustment is locked? You could also try with VRMTool to see, if the voltage can be adjusted at all... Not sure about the voltage controller on the card though.
  12. Not really sure, however some board manuals recommend to fill the slots starting from x1s. If the board happens to be configured such that it expects x1 slots to be filled first, it might cause some issues... I think its worth to try at least.
  13. For better results, you would probably need to build a two stage cooling system. Cold stage would be a subambient cpu/gpu cooling loop, that would be cooled by a lot of peltier elements. The ambient stage would be a cooling loop with normal radiators, that would cool the peltiers hot side. The first loop would need to have a lot of peltier elements, so that they can operate semi efficiently at high delta T and remove a lot of heat + the surface area needed. How to construct the "peltier element heat exchanger" between the loops practically and efficiently would be one of the trickiest parts.
  14. Try moving the sticks to slots A1 and B1. Can you change the ram speed to 2133 MHz, or change the XMP profile?
