    What's your latest tech purchase?

    Fairly recently purchased an ASUS RT-AX88U PRO AX6000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Router. Very happy with it so far. Using my older RT-AX86U as an AiMesh node. A month or so ago I purchased a KM switch ('UGREEN' 10Gbps USB-C KM switch). Didn't go for KVM as my main panel has multiple inputs so I can...

    Cambridge Audio Reveals the Melomania M100 TWS Earbuds with Lossless Audio

    Yup, I read that as 'melanoma' at first glance. Certainly got my attention.. 'melanoma earbuds???' :)

    What are you playing?

    I'm enjoying the new season on BF2042. The Haven map is fun. :)

    What are the worst TIMs?

    Note that list is from 2007.. it also features MX-1. :) I used to use Shin-Etsu many years ago - it was really good if you got a good application, but it was very thick and tacky and sometimes difficult to get a good spread.

    What are the worst TIMs?

    I'm aware toothpaste didn't score too highly.

    Have AIOs killed custom loops?

    Nice. Is that the one with the little variable speed control on the pump that you adjust with a flathead screwdriver? If it is, I had one of those years back. Solid pump.

    Cheers! Not sure I'll stay here though, just testing the waters and so far not liking it much. :/

    Have AIOs killed custom loops?

    Heh ok, true enough. :) True again. As I also stated, "My mistake was reacting to those individual(s)". My bad. I accept that. Much of the rest of your points are valid, but again, I've already agreed about convenience, expense, etc... All I intended to say from the start was regarding thermal...

    Have AIOs killed custom loops?

    Maybe you misunderstood me, or didn't read all the posts? For sure installation can be an issue - tim not spreading evenly, block not screwed down properly, among other issues. Looking at the tim after testing, using thermal cameras etc has been going on a LOT longer than just 3 years - I am...

    Have AIOs killed custom loops?

    Yeah that's true, I mentioned removing outliers, and that's part of the method. :) ..then they compare runs (3DMark etc) for cooling effectiveness. The more runs, the better. lol.. I believe that went straight over someones head.. :laugh: ..or maybe my own. :(

    Have AIOs killed custom loops?

    Wow.. I really struck a nerve with you. Intentionally obtuse. Crack a dictionary indeed: Obtuse: : lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility or intellect : insensitive, stupid : difficult to comprehend : not clear or precise in thought or expression Please feel free to Google AiO vs custom...

    Have AIOs killed custom loops?

    Wow I think I'm going to keep this series of posts as a screenshot and share it. I have to ask - are you being intentionally obtuse? So you are now doubling down (or is it tripling down now?) on your claim that to compare measurable cooling performance levels of a specific AiO vs a specific...
