ok, but after a decade is there no improvement in power consumption? a intel 8th gen get half of that and before i bought the pc i google it and most of the people say they get arround 50w, also there is a Linus video where they get a ryzen under 50w with tweaking so i was realy waiting at least near 50w

I made i think the last cooling update to my steam deck, it works amazing, temps stay under 60 C under full load with mid to low fan, so its cool and quiet.
The m.2 heatsink is screwed to the copper plate (only the top part, without the bottom part that squishes the ssd) and the copper plate touches the heatpipe so is near ideal head transmision, but im sure it could be better.





It will be interesting if some cooler company make some steam deck heatsink alternative with the back cover ready to install using a round heatpipe, if its shorter and wider will be interestingly slimmer. A better memory and other components cooling will be nice to, for the ones that make more heat, adding a little heatpipe its also a nice feature, well i have not messed the temps, but i like having parts well cooled.
i was also amazed how good this normal fan works as a laptop fan pushing air from the sides.
Now i am ready to print the part for the back cover to make it less crappy

hi, i know its and old post but.... i have to much free time now and i wana play with thise, one thing that i dont undestand is how does btrfs with snapshots work to make a file not to be stored tweice. I already google it but cant find the answer, if some can plaese explane to mi or put a link.
 
Once someone told me that mac in its new filesystem have something like that, so a file is realy one one time in the hd and the others are only shourcuts, does zfs have something like that? 
 
Linus you need tu remake it, but realy "EPIC" 

I will create this topic to tell ideas for what i think will be a better way. Feel free to critique, that will bring better evolve.
Hi, i thought for a while that computer hardware need and upgrade, new standards. And its not just because its old, its also because its poor efficient.
If some one know the history from the Bauhause from Germany, they have the idea that some things have to have a standard for make it better, i don't read the whole story but it see that there were people that already think the same direction. I think it will be better for all if there is a place where you can find a guide to build anything, and if someone thought he have a better idea, that idea have to be evaluated and if better, update the guide. So will be every time the world better.
 
Let's start with the graphic card
The place where it is, it's the worst. It's a heater with nowhere to suck fresh air or push it out. What if it is at the top of the motherboard? That will allow the gpu to suck fresh air from the top outside of the case. The motherboard need also a update, all the chips that generate heat need to be connected with heatpipes and a predesigned place mass to be a surface where you can attach a cooling device of your choice (passive, cooler, water), and i think that place mass be between the cpu and the rear io


but i think the GPU have the wrong design, i mean, the better cooler (i think) its the heatpipe in tower design and there have to be a air flow, it have to be ever a constant flow from air, never recirculation, never.

What about the PSU, the way it is right now it's ok, it will suck hot air from inside the pc  and push it out to ensure some air flow. But very small and compact pc shou us it can be anywhere, because you only need a short cable to allow connection with the outside, and i think it don't have to lose the function from an extractor, that is a very important function.
I also think all the components mass to serve more than one function if possible, that is efficient.
So i propose a design that will have the cpu cooler, the gpu cooler, and the psu as extractor, that will be a ton of air flow. But now only air flow, it muss have special separators and ducts that will allow to go throw the entire pc before it goes out, so everything is cooled more efficient

 
And like servers coolers could be not at the device, sonde at the case. They also could be with a standard plug and play power connector (also like servers). In this design all the cables could also be short.
So it is only a thing of talk with each other and set new better and intelligent standards. Where sill be the cpu socket, so it can be a standardisation from cpu cooler to ensure no reflow from air. The cooling for the motherboard components, a better place no only for the gpu, but for the ram, power, sata, mPCIe and any other connector. In the design i thought, all the hdd/ssd could be under the psu, and they can also have a little board so it will be very easy to install, just push.
 
what inspire me all this is the gpu, it is always to hot and loud. It needs definitiv a new cooling design. Some doesn't have any ram a vrms cooling, for me it will be as simple as a peace of cooler with a heatpipe, and just like i suggest for the motherboard, with a top surface where you can attach the cooling device you prefer. And because the better cooling its a tower (i think), not only because heatpipe it's better that a piece of aluminium, but because it will allow on one side take new air, and throw it away on the other, that will allow you (if you want) to ensure fresh air for your device.


The design from how the heatpipe tower cooler needs a standard to. I'm not an engineer, but because internet let the people access to some much infos, i learned there is a optimal why to put those heatpipe so that they will irradiate the most of the heat they take.
Im not saying it has to be this way, i just say there is better and a worse way. This is just and example of what i think

And talking about ram and mPCIe, what if those are in the other side of the motherboard, so you have to take out just one side the pc to have direct access to this, and nothing else in the way, and also have some holes so that the intake air passively cooled the components.
Standard will allow more efficient. But they need to pay attention to many things, efficient, cooling (very important), build, repair.
That brings me on something, way have no tower cooler maker thow on make a long tale from the holder, that comes up to te top so it allows you to clip it to the holder tooles, i mean, if its a tile that have les say just 2 positions (open and close) so you push, pull or turn it to put in or out the cooler and dont have to fight ever with your shorter fingers or screwdriver risking to damage something, its that so hard to make? just a long piece of plastic or metal? it cant be so expensive, not for design, not to make.
 
If my english its not clear, there are some pics. Thatks for the atention
