Who's doing custom loop water cooling?
Anybody doing custom loop water cooling?

Is it fairly straightforward? Would you recommend for systems that would benefit from custom loops?
I'm asking for... future me. Future me wants to do some wykd syk water cooled shitposting.

Don't bother with it. For the cost of a good loop you can buy another GPU and that's a noticeable performance improvement

But a custom loop will also be far less noisy than running two video cards with blowers and probably cooler, too. That being said, it's not really worth it unless you've got a multi-card setup.

Nvidia, watrudoing?



I had a rant but then Modacity ate it. I just genuinely want to know why?

EDIT: I mean, I know the Titans are the middle-ground between the GeForce cards and the Quadro cards, but this looks like it's almost trying to get rid of the Quadros entirely, albeit at $1k more than the highest-end card.

[InnerGoat]

hahaha the price of that thing

Yo dawg, I heard you like computers so we put a computer in your computer so you can compute with a computer while you're on your computing computer.

Axiomtek, one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of innovative, high performance and reliable PC-based industrial computer products is pleased to introduce SHB230, its high-performing PICMG 1.3 half-size single board computer.

Main Features:

• LGA1150 socket for 4th Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3/Celeron processors with Intel Q87 PCH, up to 45W
• Two 240-pin DDR3-1333/1600 SO-DIMM sockets up to 16 GB memory capacity
• Two SATA3 ports with data transfer rate up to 6 Gbps
• Dual-view display via DVI-I or LVDS interface
• Four USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 supported
• Supports one CFast socket
• Intel Active Management Technology 9.0 (AMT 9.0) supported

Not sure if it's new thread worthy, but what sort of applications do you think this would be good for? It's pretty interesting to say the least.

EDIT: If it came with its own M.2 port, it could utilize those wicked cool M.2 SSDs directly onboard and have its own OS staying with the card without requiring SATA connectors to separate drives.

It is a computer so you can do the same thing an Intel NUC could do really, but that would be dumb . Have fun paying for a current gen SBC.

I have a dead Pentium 3 based one and it's worth quite a bit if it worked today.

Current gen SBC...current gen Small Block Chevy?
