THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 1)

Yeah, I was just reading through what was left and couldn’t find anything on this one despite there being a page for it

Oh well, it’s fine. I was attempting to reference/pay respects to some older creations by including the sapient races from the TU in my forum game, but if I can’t find anything on this one it’s whatever

Why are newer GPUs getting bigger every generation? I won’t even be able to keep my small case. Have they forgotten about people who own mini-itx builds?

Question: Can waterblocks reduce the size of my GPU?

Chip manufacturing technologies aren’t improving as fast as anymore, so instead of relying on newer process nodes to have much better performing products, they need to know crank up the power consumption to try to get those generation leaps people are used to. Watching LTT all the small cases they use seem to now be geared towards fitting just barely the latest GPUs, so you could upgrade your case even if you don’t want a bigger form factor.

Yes. From what I’ve seen all waterblocks make GPUs just take up one slot of thickness, though they obviously can’t help if the graphics card’s PCB is too long, but the length of the cards hasn’t gone up. In fact I remember when AMD had much longer GPUs than they do currently (at least I think that’s the case).

I’ve been thinking about making a portable case, but I’m worried about the size. Waterblocks could definitely help with the space, yet I’m still worried about leaks and also the outside temperature. What if I’m using the computer in a near 0 degrees Celsius environment? Given that the water that is used for cooling doesn’t have any solute to lower the freezing point, I’m afraid the water could freeze and clog up the tubes.

Perhaps I could cover the case with an insulator so that it keeps it warm enough for the water not to freeze?


Random question that doesn’t have anything to do with the above: is it possible to delete posts in a closed thread?

AFAIK closed and archived topics are different, so closed topics aren’t read only and can probably still be modified (by posts being deleted or liked).

Considering how hhyyrylainen helped the development of Thrive, I think it’s time for us to establish a cult in honor of him…

A few days ago, I was watching the game awards as I was looking forward to win a steam deck. I got bored after 30 minutes and disabled the sleep settings, so the stream continued. Yesterday, I saw this video.

I can’t believe I missed this.


Doesn’t have anything to do with the above, but I just went on SteamDB and noticed that The Last of Us is coming on PC! YEAH!

Why would we close it at 10k?

Its automatic
Not really something we can control (i think)
