    It's a comparison lifted from the article, and to be fair it's a pretty good one for the layperson, which is the BBC's target audience. Especially as most people think of data centres as massive warehouse sized units.

    I honestly look forward to the WAN show, it's about the only tech related podcast I watch, and even tend to view it over a few days. I'm in the UK so I look forward to it on a Saturday morning.
     
    Oh well at least Dan's on the case.

    Another problem is: The longer you wait to publish the wan show, the more people will investigate why the video isn't up and find out why... so more people that might want to look up for the address, even just out of curiosity.

    It's not that this is difficult, it's more that it would probably result in people getting things delivered to the wrong address 1,000,000x more than it would help anyone with their extremely niche case.

    So anyone got one of those boards and tried a soundcard on it? I just ordered Biostar B550 GTA to go with my Xonar Essence ST, but I'm afraid of delay and other problems. Worst case scenario I think I'll return it and go for Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE I was planning to get and hope its onboard audio is satisfactory.

    AM4 motherboard with legacy PCI
     
    After years same problem here for upgrade to AMD Ryzen.I own E-MU 1616m PCI soundcard longer time,the best Pro audio inetrface I ever have for good price ,but problem is,there are no PCI on new AMD motherboards.OK. So,let me explain why not reason to change to common soundcards for example like soundblaster,xsonar or integrated soundcard on the motherboard.
    First is software.It is similar like graphic developers.But there are audio producers too.
    I mean software like: Control panel of soundcard, native ASIO drivers (no Asio-for-all),WDM ,hardware connection and many possibilities of this soundcard...MIDI connection,MIC inputs,SPDIF output,input, 44.1khz,48,88.2,96,176.4,192kHz sample rates, etc...and the most important  reason to stay with this hardware is PatchMix panel DSP -Integrated hardware zero latency accelerated panel mix to setup and control your soundcard in many options.Great.
     
    Common soundcards is for gamers,not for producers! I don't need any 3D,5.1 or 7.1 surround sound or some "Crystallizer"... 
    There are so many videos,articles ,discussions about : ""Do you need soundcard in 2020 on your new motherboard ?"" ofcourse not.I don't......I am a gamer.
    Do you need graphic card ? ofcourse not,I'm a music producer... magic circle....
    Like you can see the example of mixpanel on the picture,that's very important to me,why this kind of PCI soundcard.
    I would be apreciate ,if you never say,you don't need soundcard interface. Can you tell it to graphic designer? :"" You don't need Professional graphic card""?  ...there is integrated graphic in processor.....

    sjcarter reacted to obsidian1200 in If your parents take away your phone......they could face up to 6 months in jail!   
    If I were the parent and the phone was under my contract, I wouldn't have taken it. I would've just called the carrier and suspended the line. Perfectly legal and keeps the ex off your back, since legally he can do whatever he pleases with the contract.
    Also, seems odd how far this got when coupled with the fact the ex is married to a cop from the local police. I wonder if this would've escalated this far without that...

    View from the other side with panel off. I forgot to take more pics onsite, so these are earlier pics before I left for LAN party
     

     
     
     
    Again, the 980 sticks out like a furnace. You can see the heat radiating to the lower level of the HAF XB, which is pretty amazing. The Corsair AX860 PSU is pretty cold in comparison as well as the CPU heatsink
     

     
     
    Closer look at 140mm heatsink. Amazingly, the Thermalright 140 Power keeps pretty dang cool in comparison to the GPU roasting next to it. You can see the RAM and surround parts are also fairly cool
     
     

     
     
     
    Man, that overclocked 980 behind the backplate is an oven!
     

     
     
     
    View straight down, you can see the mobo VRM heatsinks actually being pretty warm, even at stock 4790k speeds
     

     
     
    Wow, and this with no CPU oveclock, look at how warm those mobo power module heatsink get!
     

     
     
     
    Another angle from other side. I took these pics earlier before LAN
     

     
     
     
    Again, that 980 is volcano of the system
     

     
     
    You actually see behind the fan were the GPU die is!
     

     

     
     
     
    Front top view. Again, I forgot to take pics at LAN so these are just for reference
     

     
     

     
     
    No way, my Soundblaster Z core gets that warm? Who knew?
     

     
     
     
    The Thermalright 140mm fan sure does a good job of keeping the 4790k cool for just air
     

     
     
     
    Rear view of heatsink, you can see the heat rising from the heatpipes and onto the fins
     

     
     
    Straight down, that GPU and mobo power VRM modules are toasty
     

     
     
    This one turned out a little weird, musta got camera too close.

    Hey all! I had earlier account but for the life of me I can't remember login info and the old email I had was shut down due to spam, so I had to start all over here
     
    Anyway, I had the awesome opportunity to get my newly upgraded gaming rig to be scanned by the awesome folks from PugetSystems during PDX 25 LAN the other week! It's amazing to see how much heat and were a computer makes that our naked eyes simply can't detect!

    For a realistic heat load, I put on Dragon Age at 1920x1200P in windowed mode. For some reason, running in window mode made my GPU usage pegg to 100% load vs full screen mode that I normally play at, you can see temps at around 62c and the i7 at around mid 50's
     

     
     
     
    Wow, check that out! Talk about seeing the invisible!
     

     
     
    No heat in the front which makes sense
     

     
     
     
    Peering down through the window
     

     
     
     
    Wow, look at how the heat radiates to through the case and even lexan window above GPU!
     

     
     
     
    A view through side panel into the inferno. Talk about so freaking cool!
     

     
     
    For fun, me on thermal image while checking my computer
     

     
     
     
    Wow, so thats the heat a dell 24" LCD monitor makes, just from LED's alone
     

     
     
     
    Time for more scans closer up!
     

     
     
     
    How humans normally see things...
     

     
     
     
    That STRIX 980 is by far the hottest thing, you can actually see the heat pipes glow white compared to the cool running HD below
     

     
     
     
    Closer up view of HDD and SSD.  The thermal scanner averages what it see's, so a closer up view produces more thermal details of what is and cool, so be sure to note the scale to the right side
     

     
     
     
    Lava hot GTX 980, even with fans at 60% speed!
     

     
     
     
    Wow, you can really see how the hot air radiates and warms up surrounding equipment!
