    New and Improved Watercooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

    I run my D5 at 100% all the time. DC motors, and pumps are at their most efficient this way. There is noticable temperature differences between running 50% and 100% while gaming. I have some pretty wicked OC's and they are not stable at 50%.

    I've only ever had spotless loops :) I've had nothing but open loops since 2002 or so, and never changed coolant unless I was replacing a component. Current coolant in my loop now is green CryoFuel that I put some clear blue UV Mayhems dye in. I think it's about 2 years old now at this point.

    The GPU Nvidia would rather forget – GeForce FX

    I remember them getting into some hot trouble for bypassing intended rendering methods/applications with 3dMark. IIRC, this is what started the whole "Approved Driver" program or whatever it was called. The benchmark called for rendering an object a certain way, and the drivers were application...

    Well, there isn't really a point in spending money in half-assing the project when you're already spending a grand to block the box

    There is definitely some C°s to be carried away by sinking the back of the board behind the memory modules, GPU, and VRMs.

    NVIDIA partners with Ubisoft to further develop its AI-driven NPCs

    This seems like a training model for the robots that will eventually murder us all.

    The Verge: Westworld showrunners are creating a Fallout show for Amazon

    I've been pretty excited for this series. When I was playing through FO4, there was a scene or some voice acting or something where I got called a "sex pervert". My wife heard that, and she's been calling me it ever since.

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    I would imagine that the FrogMaster himself may have some info on this if it is indeed a thing.

    Post Pics of your SLI or Crossfire Builds (I know its dead)

    I seriously miss all the UV reactive stuff. Looks way better than RGB shit. I remember having my Antec LANboy with a DFI nForce4 LANparty board, Athlon 64 3200+, Vantec Tornado 80mm fans and UV cold cathodes with UV reactive zip ties. Damn, those were the days!

    I had x1600xt x-fire, can't find any pictures of that one. Had a 280x and 7970 GHz Edition in x-fire, with a FX8320 @4.5GHz(iirc) in a Corsair C70, Talk about a blast furnace. Missing two years of pictures in my backup for some reason, and those are right there.
