Memmento Mori

Thanks for the recomendation but to be honest, been on this road before and its just a trade of for higher temps and rpm on fans. I took out what i could to make it airflow friendly as possible. I radher invested the money in the DataVac and once in a month i just blow the dust out… in the end everyone has to decide for them self

This kicks in kind off … +1 for that!

So having some updates in the work in progress.. New toys finally arrived but first the paint job Drying it with Folding@Home Final Product.... Yes the corners are made of silicone so the paint chipped off (was a bit naïve here) and could as well cover with scotch tape the back labeling but forgot it... Anyway im ok with the result... Finally the installation.. Now to the analytics: With 45 min. Folding@Home both CPU and GPU. Before : CPU package MAX: 76 C GPU Hotspot MAX: 65 C DIMMS MAX: 37.3 C M2 SSD: 50 C Now with the installed new HW: CPU package MAX: 74 C GPU Hotspot MAX: 64 C DIMMS MAX: 36.3 C M2 SSD: 40 C The main gain is here the M2SSD - with -10 C on the max temp.. Got a difference as well on the CPU by -2 C and DIMMS -1 C.... But could be the tolerance in measurements so not rly a prove of a big improvement.. Will test it a bit further in some Gaming sessions and report back... As well waiting for the new design of the "straightener's" ... Let me know if you have any advice to improve or idea to try out Thanks.. MM..

I would say yes the glitch art effect is still a thing same as “cyberpunk” is still a thing … at least my opinion and the secong picture is exactly “cyberpunk” style….

well could be but the design is not mine and i just downloaded it and used it to get it printed. But the original thought of this was as an cover for the back exhaust fan to use it as intake and get some cool air to the VRM of an water-cooled setup.. here the Link to it there are as well some pictures. And to be honest with an printing time of 8h I'm not sure if it would pay out in the end well that would be truly Extreme i guess but i hope your not disappointed in the end Exactly what i thought could be improved, i just thought about an different solution. As there should be enough space for an 90mm fan i ordered the Thermalright TL-B9 should be delivered soon and lets see if makes any difference, but what I'm expecting from it, is an better ventilated backplate of the GPU and this way would less heat be going up to the CPU and RAM cooler... If it will make any real difference i will measure as soon i get it delivered . Anyway next week Monday should be send to me the second model in 2 variants so im looking forward to test them ... And as well have to test the "Case split" recommended by @The Pook

Well what we mostly see in RL is "Marketing" knowledge vs "Real" knowledge of any problematic.... People tend to read the marketing materials and claiming it as real facts, just because its faster and easier.. And as well marketing doing a good job so... Anyway as told it speaks for its self...

this is Great and thanks for the fast implementation!! exactly as suggested (even my explanation was poor ). Great job!!

PSA: Corrosion Happening on ASUS ROG Z690 Formula VRM Block, Company Remains Silent WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM I've been using the ASUS ROG Z690 Formula motherboard in all my recent CPU water block reviews, and also detailed it here for a specific EK VRM bridge block article. While the board has reached end-of-life... Speaks for it self ...

Small update… the other design went in to production! curious about the outcome… will definitely report back ….

ttps://www.guru3d.com/news-story/3dfx-voodoo-5-6000-rev-3700a-128mb-prototype-bids-reach-13200.html And we are complaining about the prices of new GPUS?

Motherboard Shipments Drop by Ten Million Units in 2022 WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM The PC industry has been hit hard by the current market conditions and economic downturns, as the entire industry has seen sales of new PCs drop to new lows. Equally so, the PC motherboard makers have... Having each year a new product by Design/socket/performance/ect.. An "created" need and an not sustainable growth each year ends up in a fall sooner or later... Do you think that the prices will go down in general? Or will we see a slow down in the update cycles?

yes this is the basically the style im trying to find but the prices are incredible.. Mainly if it is from the audiophile corner Will try to find a handy man with the machine to make it from solid Aluminum or copper billets - making them a bit customized.... Lets see. If im successful ill report back the outcome

Thank you very much.. kinda feel like a walking disaster

Please dont cow bell me folks but question: where do i set up or change my status from “member” to “premium member” ? Or its not working anymore? Just curious (and yes im an subscriber and active )

have to say you got a sharp eye.... edited But with the cardboard your right.. will try it out and report back.. I have as well another type to try.. just need to tell my friend to print at least 1 more as i have just 1 as a sample... forgot as well to post a pic of how it looks in the case luminated Yes Sir! Will do Sir!

Hello there... As i like to try some ridiculous things and im always thinking about optimizing the AF in my case so one day i came up with an idea of changing the flow of my bottom and top intake fans in a way it will be more in harmony to the front to back direction. And so before i just asked my friend to print me something i decided to make an POC just for the bottom fans. OFC my aim was to gem more air to the GPU, and i have to say it worked not bad... I saw rly a 4 degree decline at the GPU hotspot... So i decided to get some proper "straighteners" and got them printed.... Well Printed version is a bit a different shape but not looking bad at all: Finally mounted in the case it looks in my opinion not bad at all. A bit "SteamPunkLike" Well now lets talk about some numbers and test scenarios... System Specification: MOBO: MSI Z490 Godlike CPU: i9-10900K @ 4.9Ghz GPU: XFX Radeon 6900 XT - Merc 319 a bit underwolt and a bit OC DIMMS: G Skill GTRS 3200 CL14 @ 4100 CL 15-15-15-30 T2 Case: Caselabs SM8 CPU Cooler: Thermalright FC140 Front Fans: 3x 140mm Be Quiet Silent wings 3 All other case fans are Thermalright TL-C12 Pro For stress testing i chose to fold for 20 min on my CPU with 10 threads and as well with the GPU. At least the energy will not go totally waste And here are some scenarios and results: Scenario NR.1 - was the traditional front to back airflow, so i just turned off the intakes upper and bottom and tested: CPU package MAX: 71 C GPU Hotspot MAX: 68 C DIMMS MAX: 36.3 C Scenario NR.2 - was with the intakes upper and bottom as well on: CPU package MAX: 70 C GPU Hotspot MAX: 65 C DIMMS MAX: 35.5 C Scenario NR.3 - was the paper POC CPU package MAX: 72 C GPU Hotspot MAX: 66 C DIMMS MAX: 35.8 C Scenario NR.4 - is the final way i wanted to test - with the "straighteners" installed on the top and bottom intake fans.. CPU package MAX: 73 C GPU Hotspot MAX: 66 C DIMMS MAX: 33.8 C I will for sure take some more time to try to play around with the fan speeds if I will see any improvement or not. If you have any advice or idea how to get better temps or optimizing the Airflow in this case I'm open to anything. One thing is for me atm not workable and to make it custom WC and as well AIO are not my thing.. Air-cooled is the way i want to go for now.... So please to all Air-cooled Gods and Daemons out there - feel free to take part...

oK, got it. and yes sounds good to me. And your as well right about the definition at it self... Its a moving navbar not static one...

Just to make it easier to follow i will comment into your "Quote": Now is the Question if the "FOLKS" wants it or not ... exept for you and pioneerisloud it seems like not rly a hot topic to others Anyway, Im rly appreciate your considering this

Ok thats gooood, now we juts need to know if ppl want it or im alone in this

yes that would be the idea..

my last hit as well as Preordered Diablo 4

Hi Guys, hope its not something already discussed... at least i didn't see a mention about it... would be nice to have a "Static" site header which will not disappear when scrolling down. Would be handy mainly for the mobile phone browsing.. Pros i see: - you have an "home" button (by clicking the logo) - your seeing your notifications all time - can browse the categories even your at the end of an conversation - makes it easier to navigate even your in a conversation Cons i see: - will take a bit of the screen (but could be handled by "minimalizing" it?) What you thing about it?

lets hope for the best regarding the new start of Caselabs. Just checked ebay and im amazed that there rly is not much to see or to buy Having an SM8 and just bought 4 years ago some spare part from an Romanian seller for crazy money. But happy i did bcs in europe is the chance almost 0 to find anything… Would be nice to have an XL side pannel with tempered glass… And can someone recomend me an alternative to the case stands? Please let me know if you ise the standsrd ones or replaced them.. if so, replaced by what? BTW - would be nice if someone from the oficial staff would invite Emil (M-oll) over here
