Thermal Grizzly's Scale: While Thermal Grizzly is a premium, highly respected enthusiast brand founded by der8auer, it operates on a smaller marketing budget compared to past mega-corporation sponsors like MSI or GALAX. This suggests the partnership was likely structured around a mid-tier six-figure multi-year contract rather than millions of dollars. From between $100,000 and up to $500,000. Probably not much above $200.000 - $250.000. Black or white edition cable?😀 What worse than burnt connectors is missing cores and memory. Aka scammed. -

It's so important that Thermal Grizzly sold their soul.... 3DMark’s Next-gen ray tracing test adds native 4K, AI upscaling and frame generation According to the video description, Thermal Grizzly is the first sponsor of the new 3DMark benchmark and is showing the teaser exclusively at its booth in Taipei. -

Here is bro @Mr. Fox next killer PC upgrade😁 And who need more than RTX5070 performance with all the fake frames. Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra could be your killer PC upgrade Asus always find new ways to increase profits... Asus' monstrous ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 includes expansive curved AMOLED display — also debuts 3,000W power supply and striking PC case Beyond the significant frills (i.e. the screen, the design), it looks like the Edition 20 raises itself above ‘ordinary’ Astrals by leveraging boosted power delivery opportunities. Standout claims for this new graphics card include the provision of a dual-input power subsystem, with a detachable GC‑HPWR adapter, for providing up to 800W to the graphics card. Asus have also increased their prices for their graphics cards. This from the official Asus US Store... ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition - $4,329.99 And ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX™ 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition - $4,529.99 Yup, the vanilla 5090 Astral is now above $4.300 USD on their official US Store. That's devastating. And I'm sure the Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 will cost around $5000. Prises have also increased here home. The Astral 5090 OC cost $3767,00 USD (MSRP) here or around $600 cheaper than in USA. Still, damn expensive. The use of Anniversary sales tactic is pure milk cow. Also Msi and Gigabyte milk as hard they can on this -

Same statement here. Use the 12V-2*6 cable perfectly fine in 2 months, then BOOM -

The stupidity making power connectors smaller and smaller continue. They never learned from the 12V-2*6 failure. Now we also get cute 8-pins(to save board space and costs). Smaller is always better. Just look at the modern Jokebooks. Intel ATX12VO V3 to remove the 24-pin motherboard power connector -

Tech executives are suffering from "AI psychosis," says Box CEO Your CEO is vibe-coding prototypes and calling it an AI strategy TL;DR: A growing backlash against the forced adoption of AI is building across the industry, but enterprise executives remain as bullish as ever on the LLM-driven future. According to at least one prominent tech leader, that enthusiasm may signal how out of touch those at the top have become.

Thanks for the nice write up bro Elektro🙂 Edit... plant based way of eating and limiting meat to 1-2 a week ### No way I can handle this. 55 years of eating meat in most meals and you see where I go. I try to eat healthier meat. With little or almost zero fat. I never eat/use special sauces, or unhealthy dressings. Mostly pure food of good meat. Sample for on the bread. + here. And of course lots of chicken. + lots of healthy bread. Me eat plants... Hell freeze first. If you play long enough with the fire...... -
ZALMAN Launches ZM-STC11 Thermal Paste With 18 W/m·K Conductivity Published 8 hours ago by Hilbert Hagedoorn 0 ZALMAN has introduced a new high-performance thermal interface material called the ZM-STC11, expanding its cooling product lineup with a silicone-based thermal paste designed for desktop processors, workstation systems, and general PC cooling applications. The company positions the new compound toward users looking for improved thermal transfer efficiency, long operational lifespan, and easier application characteristics. The ZM-STC11 uses a formulation based on dimethylpolysiloxane combined with zinc oxide and aluminum oxide. According to ZALMAN, the compound delivers a thermal conductivity rating of 18 W/m·K, placing it within the higher-performance category of commercially available thermal interface materials for enthusiast and professional desktop systems. In addition to conductivity, the company is emphasizing viscosity optimization. The thermal compound is specified at 2.6 g/cm³, which ZALMAN describes as an ideal balance between spreadability and long-term contact consistency. Thermal paste viscosity plays an important role in maintaining proper contact between the processor heat spreader and cooler surface, particularly during extended thermal cycling and sustained high-load operation.

Thanks for asking bro Fox. And huge thanks. I'm taking it one day at a time. Now I'm trying to reduce my cigar/cigarillo consumption. I may have halved my consumption from around 36. But it's still way too high even with vaping. I have started vaping with low nicotine levels. I'm also trying to reduce or better said change my (food)lifestyle. Eat more healthy food to try lower the blood pressure/cholesterol. It's way above recommended. This on top of medicines I take for it. There is some big changes so I don't know if everything is feasible/doable. It's now 14 days since I had a stroke, so it will take time. The question is whether I can achieve my goals. It's too early to say. But I'll try.... So small steps each day. But it's hard. Very hard to change how you have lived the last +30 years. Big changes at +60 is hard 🙂 -
