Comical Concept Ideas, Suggestions and Ideas and Curiosities: (Long Forum Thread)

Well Hi everyone. As of the time I released this forum post, It is my Birthday today (18yrs by now) on April 19. :D
I wanted to share some more concept ideas I had in mind as I have seen not many people in most forums or rather none have made a list of cool stuff to be attempted/shown in the future. At least the forums I have been to(like 7-12 forum sites). Google and Youtube didn't show anything much at times either.
You might some stuff interesting here. :)
I've spent quite some time working on this so hope it's worth it. Feedback needed.
Take your pick & maybe suggest your own ideas if you want.  

 

List of sites that I referred to: 

http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/msi-rolls-out-limited-edition-geforce-gtx-980-ti-with-copper-cooler-factory-overclocking/
-For this particular Paragraph: (The "spark" of the cooling concepts I had in mind)

                               (The decision to use copper radiators is a debatable one, keeping in mind the fact) 
                               (that while copper quickly absorbs heat,                                           ) 
                               (it does not quickly dissipate it, unlike aluminium, which dissipates heat rapidly. )
                               (Practically all high-performance coolers use a combination of copper & aluminium.)

Gaming Mice and keyboards:
-What do you think of adding a Micro-SD slot inside a Mouse/keyboard?

-Is there any RGB keyboard that can run via a P/S2 connector? (No lag and looks beautiful in the process)

-How much power does a P/S2 keyboard consume vs an RGB and USB model?


Watercooling:
-Watercooling a heatsink/an air cooler from its heatpipes. It was somewhat inspired by those ROG Posideon GPUs unintentionally.
  (so you got yourself a computational kraken with 6-10 glowing light blue tubes & fluid in them) :P
  (or it could be a bit more digestable to look at if it's attached to those low profile coolers with 2-4 ends of the heatpipes at the sides of the fins.)

-Covering the waterblock's Micro-Channels with a certain amount of aluminium or using a Aluminium Cover Plate on the copper for better temps in the inside while the water carries it off.
  (Why? Since aluminium is a good heat dissapator & water helps to carry it away very quickly, it could work like in a submerged mineral oil rig)
  (Plus Less Anti-Corrosive/Algae agents have to be used as you are technically not mixing metals in an AIO like this)

-Another Alternate method for metals used in a WC loop-->>  

Heat source-> Copper waterblock -> Aluminuim Micro-channels -> Coolant -> Copper Radiator -> Aluminium coating on the copper fins -> Exhuasted hot air+Lower temps

 

Watercooling Side Questions:
-What temps & acoustics would I get if I were to attach a TITAN X/R9 290X (or any GPU) with:
 * a 540mm Radiator in Push-Pull (Biggest Radiator I heard of so far) 
 * Min & Max speed using fans from:- 
 * Noctua/Be Quiet! to Corsair SP140/Cooler Master Silencio FP140 to Jetflow 140mm?
-What is the best 120mm slim rad/single fan AIO out there?        
-How much would I get out of a GPU with a Phase Change cooler attached to it? 
 

Air cooling:
-Limited Edition recycled silver heatpipe heatsink with it's fins made out of aluminium with a silver/copper lining beneath each fin.
 (Heat at the bottom will rise quicker this way due to copper/silver and get removed faster by the aluminium) 

-Heatsink with 50/50 aluminium and copper fins for Increased TDP and performance in a smaller form factor
 (For e.g: A heatsink with 100 fins would have 50 fins out of aluminium & the other 50 out of copper alternating each other)
 (Cause if I were to make my next build, I'd prefer the same performance of this cooler in a smaller version)
 (   http://www.tweaktown.com/news/49967/twin-stack-cpu-cooler-weighs-gigantic-2-6lbs/index.html  )

 

Air Cooling Side Questions:
-Does a basic copper heatsink compared to an identical aluminium heatsink (In dimensions) require fans with slightly better static pressure?
-If Noctua and Be Quiet! collaborated on a laptop cooling solution? (Apart from Linus's Ears being at peace forever)

 

Mini ITX-Motherboard Concept: (This is what I actually want out of a solid MOBO)

-Clean BIOS Layout plus rock solid reliability 

-Switching the Standard DRAM DIMM slots to SO-DIMMS to save space & allow more DIMM slots/fan headers/SATA, etc....
 (At least from entry-level boards onwards. Personally, I would use it til flagship Micro-ATX boards as I find it laughable that Mobo manufacturers find it difficult to save space) 

 (well atleast that's what ASUS said on the page for their Maximus 8 Impact Motherboard....)
 (Only seen 1 SINGLE MOBO that has this & it is an AS-Rock M-ITX server board of sorts)

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/asrock-develops-mini-itx-lga2011v3-motherboard-with-quad-channel-memory.212204/

-Ditch the SATA Express as we had boards from Z87 with this & it's still taking so long.
 Probably swap them with USB 3.1/Thunderbolt 3 headers inside to make it more baller.
 (U.2 Header will also do well for those Intel 750 SSD users)

-All outside connections are Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 Type-A, HDMI, Mini-Display-Port, P/S2 Ports, 10-Gig Ethernet
-Mandatory Upgardeable Wi-Fi built in

-Additional pins in the CPU socket for bonus stability when Overclocking (If required)
-Great On-Board Sound Card (Good thing that is standard these days.)

-M.2 Slot below the Board or even 2 of them. (1 above & another below)
 (standoffs will be provided)

-Usual Stuff & Software Gimmicks in the box plus a PCIe 16x riser card & a Fan Hub Module

 

Storage Side Questions:

-Is it possible to Cache a Cache Drive with another Cache Drive to create a cache circle/chain? 
 (Or Cacheception... cough.. cough.)
-How would those SSHDs react with a cache drive linked to them? Like using those Sandisk Readycache SSDs.

 

Power Supply Units/PSUs:
- Hoping that Higher wattage & performance Units such as a 850W-1000W Gold unit come with an option to use some power from them for directly powering displays(like the basic monitors), case fans, RGB lighting strips (It should all be fully controllable through software/firmware)
 

Software:
-I was thinking if a Dedicated OS for Purely Benchmarking things like CPU, Storage, RAM, Graphics, VR/3D testing, Overclocking etc. should exist considering the amount of such benchmarks out there but straightaway realised what's the point as anyways you can do a lot of things inside most MOBO BIOSes these days. 
(Valve could give the Steam OS a booster with this one and I think I should make a poll for this one....) 

 

Internet Related: (Troll idea maybe/maybe not)
-Running Crysis 3 or other Demanding games inside Google Chrome or other web browsers  
 (Not enough internet & RAM. R.I.P All Internet Peripherals/Devices of all types when doing this+ Data caps+Internet Speed+Web Browser+Your PC itself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
 (P.S: That is just Barely the loading screen :D  ) 
 (Wait till you touch the Witcher or even METRO series.)
 (That is so going to set your house on fire if not nuke it. :) )

 

Build Logs I'd like to see how it looks like IRL: (Mainly Example builds)

This Section Features build that I want to see OTHERS to try out. Not me.

 

-Silent Gaming Computer with all BLACK coloured parts.
 For e.g: Project Blacked-out 
   >Parts to use:
     Case: Deepcool Dukase Mid Tower Case
     MOBO: Z170 SLI Plus/X99 Godlike Carbon

               HDD 2: WD Black 6 TB
               HDD 3: WD Black2 1TB+128GB SSD (That 2-in-1 hard drive which you can just google about it.)
               HDD 4: A 1TB 10000RPM SAS Drive

               (Already Pretty Expensive now right? Storage master race material right here.) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 
               SSD: Samsung 850 Pro Evo 1TB
               SSHD: Seagate 4TB SSHD
               M.2 Drive: Samsung 950 Pro 512GB
               Cache Drives: Any cheap 60GB SSDs for the 1st 2 drives
     PSU: Doesn't Matter as long as it can power everything and has all black and flat cables.

              Probably try to hide the large label showing out at the side of it.          
     CPU: Intel i7 6700K/5930K/5960X or the upcoming Broadwell-E CPUs
     GPUs: 2 or 3*ASUS Strix GTX 970 in SLI
     CPU Cooler: If Watercooling = Corsair H110GTX in Push-Pull
                 If Custom Watercooling = All black coolant with black waterblocks.
                 If Air Cooling = Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3
     Fans: All of them are Be Quiet Silentwings 2 fans. 
     Lighting: Keep it a dim white colour at the bottom of the window or even off completely. 

 

-"Lightweight-Heavyweight" SFF Gaming PC:  
 Objective of this Build is to be literally lightweight & easy to move around while cramming in some of the best high tech stuff available at the moment of this log. Speaking of which, what is the lightest possible Watercooled (Both CPU & GPU) build that people can make?

 

Parts to be used:    

          Case: Cooler Master Elite 110 ITX Case
          Mobo: MSI Z170I Pro Gaming AC
          CPU: Intel i5 6600K 
               (It's a small case so gotta show some leeway here.)
          CPU Cooling: Corsair H75 (Both fans used)
          GPU: AMD R9 Fury Nano (It's small and ballin')
          SSD: Samsung 950 Evo Pro 512GB M.2 NVME drive 
               (The GPU & the SSD are the main kicker here to this. You will be ONLY using the SSD for everything)
          RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB*2 Sticks
          PSU: Seasonic 650W SFF Gold rated, Modular Power Supply
          Mods Done: Adding a DIY Carrying handle on one of the sides of the case.

 

Build Log Side Questions:
-Does anyone have a Full Fledged AMD FM2+ System running in Dual graphics mode & a High-end Discrete AMD GPU SIMULTANEOUSLY?

To put this in perspective for e.g.: AMD A10-7870K APU+ R7 250 In Dual Graphics mode & a R9 380X in a ASUS ROG Ranger FM2+ Motherboard
How's the overclocking?
-Is it possible to CFx 2 R7 250s and the iGPU of the A10-7870K?

    
Products I would like to see new revisions/improvements of from specific companies:

 

Corsair:
-That H90 Liquid Cooler is all alone & sad... Might as well give it dual fans, a "slightly" thicker radiator & RGB 

 

Cooler Master:
-Buff the Elite 130 Mini-ITX case. I would like to see a front 140MM radiator support along with different mounting brackets for those neat SFX PSUs.
-The above includes the Elite 110 as well. Needs more space for cable management anyways
-The V8 GTS Air Cooler. Add RGB & make the middle tower's fins out of copper. Could help with performance. 
-Add RGB to their new air cooler, The MasterAir 8. Everything else seems decent on paper.

What? Copper conducts much better than aluminum, the aluminum would hinder performance
