Mr. Fox

It's about 18" front to back, 14" left to right and about 19" tall not counting fittings. I'd say add another 3.5" just for good measure to account for the fittings if you use 90° fittings (obviously twice that much without the right angle fittings). It is not particularly loud. It is essentially a mini refrigerator or HVAC. It has an evaporator, compressor, condenser and fan. It's not quiet, but not obnoxious. No louder than your Nova fans. Probably similar loudness, but lower pitch sort of like a box fan on low fan speed. It puts out lots of heat on the exhaust, so put the back blowing out a window or out of your office door. It goes without saying you do not want the hot exhaust blowing into the radiator, as that would defeat the purpose of using chilled water. I use a 5 gallon water tank wrapped in black foil insulation to normalize the water temperatures. It takes longer for 5 gallons to get cold but once it does the PC load while doing extended benching sessions doesn't really affect the water temperature that much. For benching do not use the radiator. It will heat the cold water and try to warm it to ambient. Just bypass it when benching. For gaming you can use the radiator and the chiller together since you do not need to try to keep the temps as close to freezing point as possible. It will be a LOT cooler with chilled water even with the radiator, but the radiator will hold you back in a notable way when benching. Yes, the Radeon hotspots are utterly insane. That is ultimately why I could not find any real love for the 6900 XT or the 9070 XT. Both were otherwise good GPUs, but the unfixable hotspot temps made it hard for me to like them. Even on chilled water the 6900 XT had totally asinine hotspot temps. Nothing I tried improved the hotspot temps on either of them in a meaningful way. AMD needs to find a way to address that engineering defect. Their product adoption rate would likely improve.

I despise crApple and refuse to allow them to have any space in my life. They are no better than Micro$lop... worse I think. Maybe the problem is that fact that you are choose "Copilot certified hardware" since Copilot sucks and so does the hardware (turdbooks) certified for it. I have not tested Premier but I have Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop (and Micro$lop Office) working on Linux using Winboat. I love Linux. It is my daily driver. I generally only use Windoze when I have to. I haven't liked Windows since Windows 7 (the last good version).

Do it. @Reciever you won't regret it. Here's mine... https://www.performance-pcs.com/products/hailea-ultra-titan-hc-500a-110v-1-2hp-790watt-cooling-capacity-waterchiller Buy it once and it will be compatible with all past and future platforms. An upgrade that endures the test of time... brand and generation agnostic.

Looking good, brother.

I think most of the OEMs use Laird thermal pads.

Decided to give MX Linux a go. Really nice distro. Comes with a built-in dedicated NVIDIA driver tool and lots of other stuff. I think I mentioned this once before, but LACT is a really nice NVIDIA GPU overclock tool. (Works for AMD as well.) And cpupower-gui works nice for CPU overclocking.

I decided to give MX Linux a try. Nice distro. I like it.

It is available for the Strix and TUF boads as well. Safedisk had not posted a link to it. https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/amd-600-series/x670-x870-resource-thread/m-p/1133536/highlight/true#M11273

New BIOS for Crosshair. https://www.overclock.net/posts/29545669/ Seems good. Now I need the same for the Strix X870E-E mobo. Relating to the scam we are all falling victim to... I like this guy. He's speaking my language... spot on.

Yup, I use the Chris Titus tool to jettison OneDrive and also use group policy to disable "Save documents to OneDrive by default" and enable "Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage" just for good measure. Then I use RevoUnistaller to give Edge the boot. I hate both of those digital cancer tumors. And, those are just for starters. I use a script to destroy Defender and tear up anything else I can find a way to destroy that isn't bare metal Windoze. Copilot, Widgets, Cortana and all that crap.

I hope that someone invents some kind of self-executing stealth worm malware to be automatically uploaded by the Redmond Reprobates to OneDrive without permission that would systematically crash all of Micro$lop's servers, severely corrupt all of their Copilot AI databases beyond repair, and take them offline for a week or two. Would be nice for them to experience a major tragedy from grabbing files off of consumer PCs without permission and putting them on OneDrive.

The name of the event is no longer fitting. It needs to be renamed AES or ACS for Anti-consumer Electronics Show or Anti-Consumer Show since it has less to do with electronics due to the irrational focus on AI and nothing to do with consumers other than us funding this stupid $hit. Judging from the video title wording, Jufes should use some of the money from his Discord subscribers to purchase a spelling course. His crude vocabulary isn't the only thing that could use some work. I bet he is not even aware of the misspelled word.

It's click bait. It's not in stock when you try to add it to a cart and the only place you can buy one from the links at ASUS US Store is Central Computers for $2800. All other vendors show it as unavailable.

So, it's not just GPUs, RAM and AI driven nonsense that is causing PC tech to be circling the drain. Winduhz 11 customer satisfaction rating is now lower than even Windows ME and Vista, and the dissatisfaction is driven by Fortune 500 companies. No, my surprised look is not on my face. It's a digital dumpster fire. I'm glad I started grooming my relationship with Linux a long time ago. Windoze sucks and it's getting suckier with each update. This guy is a good example of a technology normie that has had a gut full of Micro$lop feces. His YouTube channel is not even a tech-focused channel, but he's fed up with the stupid crap. He thinks Linux sucks, but he is still making the move in spite of that.

It's a digital dumpster fire. More normies are pulling their heads out and giving Micro$lop the boot. This YouTuber is not even a tech-focused channel, but he's fed up with the nonsense. He thinks Linux sucks, but that's not enough to make him want to keep using Windoze.

We will all be building PCs from discarded trash parts. When stupid becomes normal... Stupid has a face... no thanks. Rugged individualism is vastly superior to collective stupidity.

That makes me feel very.................... old.

Turdbooks will continue on the path of turdification eternally. There is no bottom, only smells like one. They are made for a specific type of consumer. Stupid is the new way... it's how the tech giants roll now. They serve stupid people, so it makes sense. Downgrades for everyone... plenty of trash to go around.
