Both the hi-side and lo-side mosfets (they might be 2in1 on a card like this) are rated for their amperage at 125c and are typically capable of dissipating that through their contact with the pcb. Airflow is nice, but not required. Neither is direct contact with a heatsink. Those are for higher end cards (who also rate their mosfets at 125c for good reasons. Max tCase for mosfets is usually 150c. Beyond that they just die.

Because it feels nice if things just happen like magic. Even "big" things like compiling, rendering or gaming. It just happens and you hear nothing but the birds outside and the cat breathing next to you.

Since he described how his cpu cooling is capable of dissipating up to 105W and he uses a 65W cpu, he can overclock a little. He is also using fast memory and a 1050ti is quite capable of running pubg well. Based on that pubg should run well.

There are several. But the liquid will heat up and eventually require cooling again. Pumping it somewhere generates noise. Evaporating it creates costs and need to frequent maintenance. And a large enough tank for that not to be an issue is impractical.

It also has no power ;)

My windows 10 installs never get stuck like yours.

I liked Vista. Mostly for the design, but even performance and compatibility was fine for me on beefy and standard enough hardware.

So they finally removed the last computer with mag safe and a good keyboard from their lineup. I am not at all happy about that. All this computer needed was a new cpu, memory and a type-c port.

That impression is wrong. 9900k clocks higher by default and usually overclocks a little higher aswell. Thus it's also single- thread king.

Yes. The only question left is single thread perf. Over a range of applications. That's what everyone is waiting to see. Part of that will include how well it handles fast memory. Currently intel is in a different league when it comes to that.

So now, next question. Have they done anything in there. They've caught the intruders, good on them. But as a security guy myself I am asking: did they check ALL electronics for tampering as well as do a basic bug sweep.

I am not saying it was, in fact I don't think the courthouse who let's them rot in jail now gives a damn, but a thorough test could also test whether after catching intruders the court bothers to check their equipment. Something added/manipulated is sometimes worse than something stolen.


So they sold like 50 CPUs in Japan?

They bought HGST, not Seagate.

It's nice that they thank their "essential workers" now.

Meanwhile all the essential workers are like. Cool. Where is the money though. A "thanks" gives you a warm feeling, but doesn't pay the bills.


While that might be true and I am happy that you're happy, this is something different. Intel has competitive products to your cpu, outright better ones, too.

To Ryzen 4000(mobile) they don't. It's not even close.


If you do some text processing, some email and generally office software, 8gb is absolutely enough. Beyond that it's not anymore. 16gb is where most people with more serious applications are happy. The cool kids have 32gb. Anybody who needs even more knows it.

But why is the audio quality fine for example on a facetime call. If the two way standard is that bad, wouldn't it be universally bad?

Beyond that, is anyone working on a better one. I can see using AirPods as normal wireless headset if it wasn't for above described issue. They're great otherwise.


That sounds like a good method, given the time. But I'd like to argue that some people are simply not smart enough to have enough reflection and thoughts about anything. They need someone else to feed them a theory that fits their view on the world. And that's that. No going back from it.

So instead of sometimes one of the two not being accepted, you want me to carry 50 different ones and have 2/3 rejected?

No, thank you.


Honestly starcraft has taught me the opposite of that. It taught me that paying attention and making things up on the spot works well into 5k MMR (upper 90th percentile of performance).

It taught me that most people overthink. Then go and try to do fancy things without doing basic things correctly first.

I believe a fair amount of that translates into real life. People think too much about non important things and neglect the actually important stuff in the process.


Doesn't mean we need yet another one of those.

It's like they're asking us to pirate everything.

As a non-American, I have no idea what kind of damage hurricane Katrina did. As far as I am concerned, there was some wind. Enough to make international news, but that's about it.

But when I see "comparable to a nuke" at least I know immediately that this is a major event. A hurricane, powerful as it may be, is harder to grasp for a comparison.


Actually they did it for a PR event with ASUS to get the record when the platform launched.

Liquid Helium is too expensive and difficult to handle otherwise. Even for extreme overclocking.


Well, partially with good insulation, Vaseline or plastidip coating.

And partially, you just don't. It'll freeze over and since this is for competition and not daily use, that is okay. Usually nothing gets damaged, sometimes it does. Extreme OC is expensive.


Look up Kingpin Roboclocker. That's the closest anyone has gotten to develop a fully automated system that could be developed into something you could run for extended periods of time in the right environment.

Because unless your applications need to store lots of things in memory, it doesn't matter for performance. macOS is very good with memory management, so for a lot of use cases 8gb is simply sufficient. The system as a whole is a lot faster than the '15 Air.

That being said, the lowest config is often something that is just there to meet a price point for advertising purposes, not what Apple actually expects people to buy. They've been doing this for decades. 16gb was the "standard" in 2015 already for most machines.


It is. It's the first M1 model still with the touchbar and the old display. So far it hasn't been discontinued, but de-facto replaced by the current 14 inch model.

True. I guess it's the slightly enhanced version of the M1 Air. Additional connectivity, touchbar and a fan for sustained loads. If that's not required, might as well save the $400 and buy an Air as they're the same in all other aspects.

But there is the more up to date 14 and 16-inch model with a better keyboard, 120hz screen and updated chassis. This one seems to be some sort of thing to simply hit a price point for the entry level "pro" model. Faster charging, better display and fan for sustained loads, otherwise exactly the same.

Or to satisfy the needs of the few who actually do use the touchbar and don't want it to be abandonware after just two generations.


There is no need to run the fans at all or at least not nearly at full speed on public roads. So I would expect the dust cloud to not be there during operation on public roads.

Also the output it filtered so there are no rocks or other debris thrown into the car behind. That was already the case on the prototype raced at Goodwood.


There is an interview with the driver on the Archie Hamilton racing YouTube where he shows the wheel in depth including the paddles.

How lucky it has adjustable ride height and obviously doesn't run the fan outside of racing.

Also assuming that weight isn't an issue, the controller being $30 makes redundancy easy. Just like every other kid playing video games, simply have a second one in case the first one fails.

It's small, cheap and replaced in seconds.


If it's only "probably destroyed" then it's perfectly reasonable to hold off on an announcement and to keep looking for a few days. You wouldn't want to tell the families that their relatives are dead and then go home without making sure you did what you could.

Because dealing with it internally and informing the public are two entirely different things. They may well have told the families some things, but not the public. Afterall this is a privately funded venture and the rescue effort isn't going to be paid for by the public either. They owe us nothing.

Exactly. The problem isn't the advancement of technology. It's the rampant gatekeeping of manufacturers and both politicians as well as some of the user base defending it.

We're definitely prioritizing features and just more applications and use cases over optimization. If CPUs were 20x slower, we'd probably see quite a few of the things that are possible right now. But with a lot more well optimized custom solutions rather than bloated frameworks.

And in some cases, multi-threading would be the only way to do things. Where right now, single-threaded file copy, decompression or draw-calls are largely a thing because it's way easier to do and there is no need to change it outside professional applications.

Also, some things might actually be better than they are right now. Having to wait for pointless animations to finish before a UI element becomes usable should not be a thing. If there was no CPU performance for this kind of nonsense, they wouldn't be there.


Be careful not to mix slow CPUs with not having SSDs. A OS freezing up is almost always because something is broken or because it's waiting for a HDD to spin up.

In cases where they didn't, the techpowerup vBIOS collection solves the problem.
