    Inexpensive, simple, full mechanical keyboard?

    Hey guys! Thanks for all the feedback. I eventually did go with the GMMK tenkeyless model at home, and so brought my Corsair K65 to work. It's a considerable upgrade from the membrane office keyboard that was there and thankfully has a button to turn off the backlight.

    Triple passive Mo-Ra3 experiment - advice?

    It's alright. I'll admit my understanding of fluid dynamics is not formally educated, but I am a process controls engineer and I work in a plant where I deal with this kind of thing. Plus I've seen the results of parallelizing flow in my own loop, so we can agree to disagree until OP sets up and...

    Triple passive Mo-Ra3 experiment - advice?

    You're ignoring the huge pressure drop that the MO-RAs induce by just using "pipe."

    Triple passive Mo-Ra3 experiment - advice?

    Yeah, my analogy isn't great. But my point still stands. It's the same reason why the overall flow in a parallel loop is greater than the overall flow in a serial loop with the same components. By putting three MO-RAs in parallel, you wind up with a flow path with three times the cross...

    Triple passive Mo-Ra3 experiment - advice?

    You're correct that the portion of total flow through each rad will be about 1/3rd, but the overall restriction posed by the three of them in parallel will also be about 1/3rd the restriction of a single rad. It's the same principle that determines parallel resistance in electrical circuits...

    Triple passive Mo-Ra3 experiment - advice?

    A single D5 can handle a single MO-RA. I'm actually the guy on the other forum who suggested running the three in parallel! Three in parallel should present 1/3rd the restriction of one, so I believe a single D5 should be able to do this. Of course, two D5s is better than one... 😂 Hi DoubleTap !

    Looking for a gaming chair.

    I've had mine a few months now and I got the softweave fabric. I don't like leather, doesn't breathe enough for me. Thus far the chair still looks new, but it's not very old so that doesn't say much.

    Looking for a gaming chair.

    Likewise. Steve Shit-On-Everything Burke can kick rocks. My Secretlab Omega is the most comfortable office chair I've ever used.

    Who is buying a 3090?

    How does one check for this flaw? I've got a 3090 FTW3 Ultra. Seems to be benching par for the course, but still curious.

    Is overclocking FINALLY dead?

    It's bittersweet but I see it as a plus. It means the consumer is getting almost everything they paid for, straight out of the box. In other industries and hobbies, when you have something that needs to be tweaked and adjusted after you buy it to perform optimally, it's considered to be a...

    Alphacool Supernova 1260 ( Or Phobya, same thing ) for external water box project

    I'll get back to you on temps, as right now I'm only cooling a 3900x - waiting on the waterblock for my 3090. The thing that sells the MO-RA for me is the ecosystem of parts and accessories. Feet, res mount, pump mounts, grilles, fan brackets give you options, different finishes... unless I'm...
