There is something wrong with your cup, it doesn't say EHW on it.

Wanted to propose it in the merch thread, but MAKE A METAL ONE and ill buy it... if you would sell a copperplated one i would buy it... The actual ones would be in my hands damaged before first coffe done

FINALLY GOT some RIGHT BOOTS! (but int he wrong season of the year - SUMMER)

Im IN! have some second hand 4090 to test so looking forward to it , already setting up my test bench  

Welcome to the right place to be from the known unknown 

Welcome to the right place to be from the known unknown 

Yeah would be as well tempted  but its a challenge to place it somewhere… but as your slot is next to RAM it will be fine passive cooled from case airflow. So i would go for the thermalright HR-10 or HR-09.
 

And the HR-09 has a nice finn design from the above so if it would fit under your RAM fan would be benefitial as well for it  better then for the HR-10 which has a flat top not much suporting airflow from above…

or buy all and ill buy from you all the thermal right one for the full price once you make the testing…

Let us know how you desided….

Or take the ultimate king from the site you shared but it will require more space: 

Beyond Overkill Cooling – Jiushark M.2-THREE SSD

I do know the Thermalright NVMe cooler you have listed comes well recommended. If I was to get one I'd probably go with the fanless model and point a fan at it myself though.

 

Something like this could be a good performing solution if you have the room available for it.

 

HR-09 2280 PRO – Thermalright

WWW.THERMALRIGHT.COM

 

 

 

I will say that I have this little guy cooler and it seems to do the job on my roasty toasty WD SN750 drive. In my case my low budget motherboard didn't come with an NVMe heatsink.

 

M.2 2280 SSD – Thermalright

WWW.THERMALRIGHT.COM

 

Im having as well the HR-09 in black and have to say im fine with it.. Cools nicely the PCIE gen 4 Disk... 

Regarding the M.2 2280 - performs as well as the MOBO heatsink from the test i saw, sou would not consider it much.. 

Im Would be goung with the HR-10 from Thermalright as it has 4 heatpipes, performs well and looks very nice.. And personal preference in this product i thing that fins add more than little fans..   But thats just my opinion....  And yes as wella ThermalRight "FAN" - on amazon youll find the HR-10 for about 10 USD/EUR/POUND... so its a nobrainer  

Thank you for your recommendations... And has anyone an experience with the Passmark Burn in test? 

Dear Ladies and Gents!

Hope your having a good start in the week.

I was hoping to find here any recomandation for UBUNTU stress test and stability testing (CPU/GPU/RAM - best all togehter...).... Please share your recomendation, experience, thoughts.

So far i just found the following:

1, Prime 95 CPU and DIMMS

2, Furemark for GPU

3, Passmark BurnInTest - is it worth the money? 

Any other options?

Thank you very much!

Wanted to edi it but i see its done already. Thank you and good to know will keep it in mind for the next time

This is pretty neat man.  You can buy these off the shelf, but not anywhere NEAR as cool as yours is.  The one I've got is just a plain white stand, and it has some plugs and dips built into it to set the controllers on and charge them.  I think it has a headphones stand too on it (useless for my XBox setup).

 

Really cool mod!  

Thank you very much! And yes there are many variants you can buy from the shelf, but it was not good enough, mainly from the cooling perspective... But i have to admit im a bit obsessed with thermals and cooling.... 

Thanks  

Regarding the temps on a Xbox - didn't found anything what could help to measure the internal temps, but yeah im sure it helps, even you cant measure it you can feel it that its not becoming that hot at the exhaust (top of the console).

BTW - one technical question, the last picture i inserted there is not appearing in the edit mode and im not able to delete it... Is there any bug? 

DYI upcycled X-BOX active Fan cooler

I bought an Xbox series X - have to say that small box is rly impressive and Quiet but as im obsessed to have all things kind off "cool" i started to look at any possibilities of an Cooler... I just found out there is nothing what would make sense. Most of the solutions are brainless gimmicks doing nothing just some RGB and noise or the best i found was to place another fan over the Fan of the Xbox.. Like yeah 2 fans are better then 1 but was not satisfied...  So i was playing with the idea of making a cooler similar to the laptop ones... Which could be even cooling the external HDD...

1, Step bought an old Laptop cooler for about 3 USD:

It came with a broken leg but solid Aluminum base which is perforated and it had a hub for 5V power supply by USB.. 

2, Bought 3x 180mm Fans - Fractal design for  12 USD - for this i used one...

3, 3D printed by a friend a nice frame to cover all the cable's and having a stand... 

This is making the measurements..

4, Cut out the needed base from the laptop cooler plate and just connected it with the FAN and painted it a bit...

5, Basically bought as well a USB to Fan header voltage converter from 5V to 12V for the FAN and as well some Led strips for ambient white light and a Noctua fan speed regulator and assembled all together.. Its visible on the pictures so what to say more  

I reused even the grey original stands from the laptop cooler  and kept all the screws for future project ...

And here is the final Product!:

Let me know what you thing about it. I'm more then happy with the result as the Xbox and as well the External drive are much more cooler so the summer can come. And it didn't add any noise to the system so its Quiet powered just by 1 USB port of the Xbox.... 

I know its a Kids play compared to some projects here but wanted to share some experience. And im pretty sure this is one of its kind and its mine.

used but all together for 75 usd

3 x 180 mm fans for 12 usd

Hey Chris,

GL with your experiment - just wanted to share my 5cent here 

Im using the Phanteks T30 on my 6900XT and could not be happier... and the next big change and improvement was using LM in the GPU... took another i thing 8 degrees down....

Had already my first crash... 

I just tried Chrome and im not able to find any active "TAB" or "Button which takes you further from this page to the actual paypal site as you have it on the one off donation site.. sorry for bothering you but can you point me to the right direction? ....

EDIT: I checked it now not logged in my account and the "SUBSCRIBE NOW" button appears all of the sudden....  Chrome and Brave the same result...  

Hi there,

hope your doing well, kind of late to the party as today (3h ago) my donation went to the old address and i kind of cant "click" on anything to choose the donation in the new section (recurring donations or subscription) .  Im using "Brave" browser, so don't know if it is related to the browser or not. Any advice?

I doubt it'll go anywhere but still less than ideal to be dealing with this. Same neighbors that throw trash in my yard and dump full garbage bags over my fence. They drove over my sump pump drain pipe and snapped it off the side of the house too. Very dirty sleazy family. Absolutely refuse to stop driving on my front lawn. Even after both their land lord and the police stepped in they continue to do it. /end rant

And if that didn't work, I'd get some 3rd party to commit the crimes.

well i would just rent a nice soundsystem - point it toward their house and play nice songs in the legal hight… i can send you some nice tips for the music with a garantuee they will move out or stop the activities… Back in the day my music taste was meassured by Last FM and compared to almost 1mil users and i came out with 1,2% of user like what im or that 98,8% of my music taste is more obscure than the others…. (But be warned that it can cause that all living will dissapear as well from the area of inpact)….

ok so maybe it's a little obvious outside the car but when idle and when driving I can't hear a difference 

i like the sound, much more cleaner and robist in my opinion… if i compare it to my cars sounds its a nice bully sport diesel sound! Like it!

Yes, they have been mailed out. I did wait an extra week for people to reply (still only heard back from about half the people). I dropped them in the outgoing mail box last Sunday night with the exception of Memmento Mori's. I took off work a bit early Monday to make it into the post office to get that one shipped out since it was going international. They are all just going snail mail USPS so who knows where any of them are at this point. 

Thank you very much for your efforts

Hmmmmm now it becomes interesting...

I like the pentagram proposition but would vote for square smilies

To be honest, dont have a high meaning about LTT (Lost Their Track)….. just cklick bait, show and not much behind it… So no wonder of the reaction at all… 

Anyway - Flux - great job done… there is nothing that takes that away
