We could call it BTX... (I'll get me coat...)

From what i can see, i count 11 heatpipes. Holy crap !

If you have the chutzpah, i'd go Thermal adhesive, but put a book on it to keep pressure on it while its curing. Otherwise you can find small heatsinks on ebay like this 40mm heatsink but 100% you'll need a fan. I would have put a fan on that large heatsink anyway, it would have gotten pretty...

Yes, as the others said, definately use a heatsink, and probably a fan too. nForce2 got pretty hot, not as much as nForce 3 or 4, but still pretty hot. I lapped my nForce2 back in the day, and put a Swiftech MCX159 on it. Worked really really well, it overclocked like hell :) Edit : Which...

Our Dell corporate desktop machines from 2019 came with hdd's, not ssd's. I watched one take more than 10mins to get to desktop this week. Our corporate refresh has been put off until october at least, and these machines warranty expired in 2022. I would love to have ssd's on all our machines...

Happy New Year everyone :)

I wouldnt say its wasteful. Those coolers can be repurposed, maybe to 4080 cards, on the cheap. The boards though will probably have to be recycled, i dont see that many 4090 users requiring a replacement board, but with the 4090 burnouts happening, maybe they could be sold on that market. These...

They're probably Intel "Fellows" who took a truckload of Acid back in the day, and are now getting the flashbacks. ;) That's the only way I can explain their naming schemes...

The Movie ? This is surly worthy of a Broadway Musical rendition. :) /s

As long as this is for ultraportables like surfaces, and tablets, thats fine. If they are wanting to generalise this for all laptops then no. Id like to be able to upgrade/change dram in laptops...

If Altman wasnt secretly negotiating with Microsoft behind closed doors, the entire OpenAI board will be in a heap of trouble. If Microsoft takes on all the workers who want to leave, and they have the cash to do that, the OpenAI is as good as dead. Hope we hear more about this soon.

My My My, My fingers are itching ;) We should get you on a direct line to AMD, your insight is going to save their company from certain failure ! Thread title "AMD Puts Radeon Vega and Polaris GPUs on a Slower Driver Update Track " and somehow people read "AMD is stopping all driver support...

You cant just make a statement on a forum, and then state you dont want anyone to talk about it. Now you say your card may have got too hot, and the cooling wasnt optimal. "Someone" might think the drivers arent responsible for that.

1. linux isn't Windows. Just because Nvidia card works, doesn't make it an AMD driver problem. 2. 95% ? Wow, so I'm in the 5% that had no problems ? You're just making stuff up, which doesn't help anything. You brought up that AMD drivers were the source of all of your AMD Vega problems. 3...

Linux isn't Windows, that's a different kettle of fish. Your card will not work exactly the same on Linux as on Windows, but that doesn't make the problem the drivers. If it was the drivers, a lot of Vega users would have had problems. (I'm running Win10, you may be running Win11, so there's...
