Air is always more logical than water in with a bunch of expensive equipment...that's how.How is this possibly better than a single slot water block.

I agree with this comment. I also refuse to work on water cooling rigs now. It's a damn mess and the clean up is just awful. If you keep a regular maintenance to your rig, you can make your components last a long time.Rad fans fail just the same, so I don't see how even that case is valid.
Both can be made user replacable too, we've seen Gainward coolers with replacable fans.
There is no question whatsoever air is more fool proof, its not even a debate lol
Boy you said it. I haven't run an air cooled video card or CPU in like a decade or more and every release makes me glad I switched to water way back when and haven't looked back. When you buy high end video cards today, there should be a drop-down on the store site to select which cooler between air or a full-cover WB. At this point, it makes me wonder if a waterblock wouldn't be cheaper to manufacture considering it may be less overall material than that in an air cooler the size of the one shown in this article and saves cost on fans as well.How is this possibly better than a single slot water block.

I miss GPU's having standardised screwholes so a cooler would fit an entire series, instead of every GPU having its own custom layout for some goddamned reason.

Bloody consumers keep buying, too.There is no absolute reason for not doing it.
The most sad story is actually we only generate e-waste by doing like that with each generation. Bloody corporate mind does not get the idea that we are screwing up hard our environment and do not properly reuse our resources.
There is no regulator that can force something about it either way.
They can but then who would grease their palms? I mean how do you explain Apple charging ~100 to 200 USD for 256GB upgrade & if course everything's solderedThere is no regulator that can force something about it either way.
Tada ~ you don't have 3 trillion dollar Megacorps without brain dead zealots following them! Of course not all of them are but I'd argue the majority would beBloody consumers keep buying, too.

Exactly. Nvidia also acts like they want to be the Apple of GPUs, a full service provider etc. They shifted the importance of their FE's exactly because of it as the first move (Pascal). It went downhill stupid fast after that: the demise of SLI/mGPU, the entry of RT, the skyrocketing of pricing and then the cutting down of the die while maintaining the price.They can but then who would grease their palms?

Nvidia market share even in discrete gaming is higher than it's ever been. Go figure

Where is Nvidia's program...There is a thing about Apple, that rarely emerges as an argument. They offer trade in for their products, to get a discount and then the product gets properly recycled.

100%, I believe that every manufacturer should be required to offer trade-in/trade-up programs for older hardware. Apart from being good economic and environmental sense, it helps to build brand loyalty and ensure consumers stick to that specific manufacturer, thus it makes sense for them too in the long term. Really surprised that companies other than Apple haven't cottoned onto this.Where is Nvidia's program...
Sorry.Which is? The image's blocked.

Trade in or buy in still doesn't address the real problem, ok no one does expandable RAM for phones/tablets & expandable storage is getting rarer still, but as far as Macs or MacBooks are concerned there's literally zero effin ways to justify non expandable RAM & storage! Yes I get that they're going with LPDDR5x but there's also massive obsolescence baked into these products, if you can't see the obvious that's on you
As for other manufacturers, well pretty much every major (r)etailer offers exchange programs here & relatively good prices, so no Apple's not special in that sense!

Do they really get that much just from precious materials? I'm getting up to 30k rupees for an 7 years old i5 laptop, which is up to 30-40% of some new models with RTX 4xxx then for new phones the Galaxy S21 FE fetches up to 30-50% of the MRP. That sounds way too high if you're talking about only recycling, the retailers of course also sell a lot of them as renewed/used probably at higher prices.
