![]() Being able to reference multiple sites benchmarks, is indispensable, when evaluating potentially faulty or under performing hardware. And I also agree that one of the best uses of benchmarks is for troubleshooting. Like most before their time, they were castigated for it. They were on the right side of history, and before their time. Every forum I visited, members were flaming them mercilessly for it. They took a lot of flack for talking about the actual game play experience. I will conclude this post by giving props to zombie for the Hardocp comments. Why risk it, if it wasn't for views/money grubbing? It also felt more like he was addressing the idiotic chattering of the youtube comments section trolls, than his tech tuber contemporaries.Īs to his new testing methodology, I give it a firm MEH! It will have no appreciable impact on my purchasing habits. Worst case, his viewers listen to him, supplies dry up, prices spike, and he will be getting roasted for giving them bad advice. Best case, someone waits and spends the same or slightly less depending on what is being purchased. Anyways, he is being the contrarian, and it comes off as click bait edge lord stuff. And prices are still good on most components don't get me started on PSU pricing lately. I have read SSDs are going to be getting more expensive soon, as much as 40 percent. And that furthermore, the used market always reacts by increasing prices to capitalize. They council that supply chain disruption could result in scarcity, which historically leads to price increases. Other popular tech tubers are advising their audiences to buy now, if any of them have been hesitating on pulling the trigger on a DIY, component, or prebuilt. Yes, that is said tongue in cheek.īecause there is another subject he covered, that could be humorously attributed to his suffering from a Messiah complex. He seems intent that he be crucified and martyred at some point too, if recent content is any indication. He now sees himself as our tech savior, and he has come to preach on the mount. However, I think perhaps, Steve has semi or subconsciously taken the tech jesus moniker far too seriously. Steve can keep doing Steve, GN is his BBQ. (Peltier cooling happens separately, outside the tank, obviously) I'm thinking of doing a water cooled system, and putting a peltier in the tank, with a thermal fuse to ensure against any disasters. I learned a valuable lesson that day, tho pouring Liquid helium into LN2 is like pouring water on a stove it explodes and goes everywhere. ![]() ![]() Then I overclocked the Q6600 to 4.9GHz, while the ln2 boiled happily. I got to do a great demo of overclocking and cooling out of that fiasco I put a copper standard heatsink in a bath of LN2, in a custom tank I built around it. If he'd built it like I do, it would have had a 1000W PSU, and looked like the one in the link, probably. Luckily, the PSU he used only had about 50W of headroom, so it crashed repeatedly instead of catching on fire. I got a free Maximus IV based computer from work because the idiot who built it used a peltier cooler, and it failed. Stuff like the thread you linked are way too common, and if a peltier shorts or a diode cracks, it doesn't cool and becomes a conductor, which is a heater of however much power it can draw off the PSU. Peltier coolers are not a good idea for daily use.
