This AI trend and adding puke colors start being laughable. One more stupid idea than the others. You like stupidity from Tomshardware as well? Do Cooler Master use AI to find up new fancy idiotic product names?🤔

 

 

 

Cooler Master introduces colored ‘AI Thermal Paste’ — CryoFuze 5 comes with nano-diamond technology

 

Cooler Master uses the AI branding on CryoFuze 5, but there is nothing AI about a thermal paste solution. While perhaps Cooler Master could've designed it for AI processors, especially as next-generation AI chips like Intel’s Falcon Shores and Nvidia’s B100 and B200 GPUs have TDPs higher than 1,000 watts, the CryoFuze 5's thermal performance isn’t that far ahead of its competitors.

I have used the Cryofuze Ultra numerous times, and I swear by it. It really works "Almost" as good as Thermal Grizzly Extreme (the pink stuff) If I do not have Thermal Grizzly Extreme, I will use that Coolermaster stuff any day.

Maybe the "artificial intelligence" refers to the mental capacity of those who will buy it because it has "AI" associated with it. It doesn't need to be true or accurate, as long as they believe it.

 

@Papusan maybe it would be wise for us all to use toothpaste instead of thermal compound because everyone knows how the minty-fresh toothpaste makes your mouth feel so much cooler when you inhale immediately after brushing your teeth. It's only logical that if it makes your mouth feel cool it will make your CPU feel like it is cooler, even if it is not.

Fun facts... The old vanilla CM Cryofuze with the boring gray colored paste (14W/mK) offer higher W/mK value than the new blingy colored thermal paste. Does this mean fancy colors is more important than everything for the kids/influencers? Or does it mean the new paste has to be better because it's just newer? Have you the correct answer bro @ryan? Is 12.6 more than 14.0 ? Could I be wrong in my math? What's wrong with gray paste? Not fancy enough for new modern people?

 

We can continue talk about stupidity. What with the new slimy and small cute wireless KB with dedicated AI button for only $450 USD? Will you buy one of those bro @Mr. Fox? And do you want this awful idea enabled/installed in your OS?😁

I have seen 3DMARK Steel Nomad Graphics Test Benchmark on youtube. And this benchmark is their new Time Spy replacement. What a Joke. It seems UL/Futuremark still can't understand that Cpu performance is more and more important for games. But they didn't use a calory to implement some sort of an Cpu test in the new benchmark. Morons! A Time Spy replacement... What a Joke this is. But I forgot... UL also need follow the new tech trend. 

 

Yup. Of course it has to work with phones and tablets + macs.... New modern hardware need their love. For weaker hardware such as laptops and mini PCs with iGPU as well as smartphones and tablets, UL is offering the slimmed-down Steel Nomad Light version.

Entertainment is more important to the kiddos than a true test of overall system performance. We need look no further than the chintzy toy crap they are selling on the hardware side, like handheld gaming devices. The stupid tech trash bin is bottomless and there is never a shortage of poop-eating bottom-feeders. UL lost my respect when they started making smartphone benchmarks. I lost even more respect for the users of UL benchmarks that got excited about smartphone benchmarks.

Here's more about the topic.... 

 

The comparison between Core i9-13900K and Core i3-12100F shows no difference in FPS even on a GeForce RTX 4090, although the CPU delivers almost 40 percent less performance when games are run at the CPU limit.

If the zombie horde can be persuaded to believe CPU and memory performance are unimportant and only GPU matters this will make things even worse for AMD. That would be very bad for everyone. Although I will not likely purchase anything they make, I want them to remain solvent and engaged so that Intel and NVIDIA remain pressured. As it stands right now they are already not being very aggressive in their efforts to compete in the GPU space. Given that they already don't bring much to the table, the buzz we are hearing now about RDNA4 being nothing more than a bug fix doesn't bode well for them.

 

It's comical that UL takes the "everyone gets a trophy for participating" approach by lowering the bar with a "Lite" version of the benchmark for anemic trash PCs. UL buying 3DMark and the introduction of the Swiss Army knife crap 3DMark Suite marked a point of tragedy for PC enthusiasts, and that was when they started circling the drain and exhibiting signs of dementia.

 

Finding respect for any of the decision-making morons, mentally handicapped "leaders" and self-anointed "influencers" in the world that we live in has never been more difficult. Looking for something nice to say about any of them... but, I've got nothing. I have only contempt and ridicule for their epic worthlessness and abject failures. We have a pandemic of stupidity. It's highly contagious and far more deadly than their experimental COVID-19 social engineering stunt was.

I have already seen Tech review sites say they will scrap Time Spy for the new Steel Nomad benchmark. Time Spy is old as they said gone with it. They will probably also use 3DMark Steel Nomad in the review of processors🙄 Because UL/Futuremark don't have newer gaming benchmarks that will test both the Cpu and GPU anymore. Are you game with this? Stupid have no limits.

 

 This bodes well for the upcoming graphics card launches later in the year, when we plan to switch the Steel Nomad into the usual test suite and replace the aging Time Spy.

If other companies or people did some of the things Micro$lop and crApple, Facepoot and Google do they/we would be subject to criminal or civil prosecution for information theft, illegal surveillance and privacy violations. I abhor government involvement 95% of the time, but this AI/Copilot/Recall crap is a good example of something that governments should regulate, outlaw,  impose severe criminal sanctions and levy brutal financial penalties against.

 

Hey Steel Nomad has audio now. The kiddos are going to be so excited. Who needs stressful benchmarks when you can just watch a short cartoon that doesn't make you feel bad that you have a wimpy CPU in your chintzy craptop box or mobile turdbook? We don't need to know how well everything works. We only need to confirm that our GPU can render the cartoons and make sure that the speakers are working. Good enough for the peanut gallery.

 

Steel Nomad is going to be a godsend for UL's hardware chronies as well. If the sheeple can't tell from the benchmark that they bought a broken piece of crap with a defective thermal management system they will be less likely to return it.

Make sure to turn that garbage OFF (from my settings) as it defaults to on of course. Insane. This and other things should always be opt in. There needs to be laws on book that everything has to default to opt out and an end user must explicitly select to opt in.

As you know.... Microsoft will make Bitlocker encryption enabled as default for the next new and shiny. A very bad idea. I have already posted about that in older posts. Here's the reason for this stupid move.... Microsoft says that all of this data is encrypted using BitLocker tied to the user's Windows account and is not shared with other users on the same device. Yup, bitlocker is needed to push this spy box on the users.

 

Yes, you can block apps from being screenshotted by this feature, but "most people" will just let it run without mucking around with the feature's settings.

 

What with those that will disable Bitlocker during an clean Windows install? And what if you disable bitlocker afterwards? Will recall still work but without encryption? In short... How will Recall work without you running bitlocker on your system?

 

And what will the next move be? Make changes in the kernel and force bitlocker running on all systems? Aka can't be disabled anymore. So deep integrated into the OS that Windows won't work if you try disable it.

I think there should be laws on the books that prevent it from existing and making it illegal from the start so there would be no reason for them to produce filth like that, and nothing to disable or opt out, or have off by default. There's no sound or reasonable logic to support allowing it to exist at the OS level. If they say it goes nowhere and screenshots stay on your computer, then it raises questions about the honesty, ethical integrity and intelligence of the people/companies that would create an idiotic piece of surveillance trash that does that; or the corrupt governments that would even allow them to. This is a moral failure and a betrayal of basic decency that goes way beyond allowing a company to collect information, with special and deliberate grant of permission, about how you utilize software they provided to you at no cost, or what you do while you are on their web site if you agree to allow it to be collected.

I ran it before I posted just so I could have a valid basis to speak on the topic. My score seemed lower than I expected compared to other submissions (mine was like 9950 or something) but I did not look at the others to see if they were overclocking the GPU. I just ran it stock so I could see if there was anything to be happy or complain about.

 

There was neither a reason to be happy nor one to complain. It just seems like a silly toy benchmark rather than a legit test of system performance. As such it seems like of a pointless endeavor aimed at entertainment more than a meaningful benchmark.

 

It was comical to me that they added audio for the kiddos. Besides not seeming nearly stressful enough to be meaningful, it seemed extremely short. They must be worried about turdbooks overheating if it runs more than a couple of minutes. The only thing I really think is worth complaining about is UL's approach in general, overall. They suck now, but so do most of the other players in the PC tech space.
