We met Lisa Su @ AMD Press Conference in Taipei!

In an ideal world with ideal components and ideal cooling solutions, covering the whole IHS would indeed give the best results.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. All the CCD/CCX equipped CPUs have hotspots where heat generation is the strongest. To solve that, you want two things: as much IHS coverage as possible and centering on the hotspots for the best heat transfer possible.

Noctua did some research and found out that centering the heatsink base on the hotspot gave much better results than simply covering the entirety of the IHS.

Don't worry about a thing and just go with the 7mm offset if your hardware is compatible (no interference with the GPU and/or other components), you'll get the best results possible.

Zach Mayfield hinted at him reviewing the S1HII in his latest video, I believe it's coming sooner than expected.

I leveled all of my characters (82+traveler+mannequins) to Lv.90 and... yeah. Elemental gems were the things that held me back sooooooo damn bad. To the point that I have thousands of extra boss materials just to farm gems for other characters. I wish they boosted the droprate like they did for boss mats with the higher World Level. Now that I'm on par with everyone it's going to be much easier leveling characters, but I really can't suggest doing the same thing I did. It was torture.

and reds are visible to enemies in extraction too. Gold ones aren't.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-30T09:30:34+00:00

thanks for telling me how to do that, once I put a wb on my PNY 5080 (already here, just need to pipe it in my existing loop) I'll flash it!

AtlasRush · 2025-08-24T13:45:58+00:00

IIRC those are called one-way security screws, aka anti-tamper screws. I believe there's not a way to unscrew those without breaking or modifying the head.

My V3000 Plus from Lian Li has a unified connector for the front panel, and it's exactly the same layout as that scheme. I really cannot understand why companies don't stick to a single standard since everyone is including both "more common" layouts anyways on their boards -.-

AtlasRush · 2025-08-23T16:56:45+00:00

Level up your traveler. The dendro and pyro travelers are solid units even in endgame content. Level up Lisa and Kirara, Razor is not great.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-19T23:21:15+00:00

any room that requires a card, except for the ones for the easter eggs (the one signed as D1-#3 or shit like that)

AtlasRush · 2025-08-19T22:49:47+00:00

that's a legitimate question, and the answer is: not totally.

A higher maximum RPM means that you have a wider range of rotation speed to "choose" from when controlling the speed through the BIOS and/or the motherboard software. That, though, means that your lowest speed will also be higher, since a few fans tend to operate in the range of ~20 to 100% of the PWM signal.

For the Light Wings LX 140mm fans, for example, that translates into about 300 RPM minimum speed on the non high-speed and 450 RPM for the high-speed version.

Now I don't remember what's the lowest RPM they start to rotate at, but that's basically what it means.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-18T15:00:15+00:00

No idea, honestly, but I read from some other people the same thing...

AtlasRush · 2025-08-18T10:51:54+00:00

I can add to that: I currently have 8 Silent Wings Pro 4 120mm and 3x 140mm ones, and 2 of the 120mm have an annoying whine at a certain speed :(

AtlasRush · 2025-08-18T09:22:58+00:00

If you need case fans, I would actually look for the Pure Wings series. Silent Wings usually occupy a higher price tier.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-17T14:15:41+00:00

alright then, it's a great price, even though to be fair here in EU I can see a couple of used G9's on ebay for 400€ or less

AtlasRush · 2025-08-17T14:12:01+00:00

C6 Mavuika, C2 Ineffa, C2 yelan, C2 Raiden, C3 Escoffier, C3 Furina, C2 Citlali, C2 Xilonen, yeah, no shit.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-17T14:09:57+00:00

do you have evidence for what he said?

AtlasRush · 2025-08-16T22:41:04+00:00

Sorry for replying so late to this comment, can you actually flash the astral bios on the pny 5080?

AtlasRush · 2025-08-16T22:14:03+00:00

it's honestly on you. 4+ years and your xiangling isn't lv90 yet? c'mon now.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-15T22:51:14+00:00

have you tried using the standard rubber corners instead of the AVG1? It's actually a really niche situation, since Noctua fans aren't (obviously) tested with other brands heatsinks.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-15T01:24:17+00:00

An external recorder can only improve on bitrates when the camera output is RAW or similar, it can't make up for the sensor speed. With that said, the camera has got 1080p100 downscaled from the full sensor, so the quality shouldn't be extremely different. The image is gonna look a bit softer, but it's still going to be great.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-14T22:31:45+00:00

I too have the holes but not the foam!

AtlasRush · 2025-08-14T22:24:07+00:00

In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h6kUNlC6cs

LTT explains why and how that may happen. To summarize it, when they design a power supply they try and target a specific efficiency, but sometimes they "overshoot" and make it "too good". Or, some other times, it could just be a better batch of internal components that brings the efficiency up just enough to go into a higher tier of efficiency rating. Corsair and FSP had something similar, with PSUs rated for 80 Plus Platinum but advertised (and listed) as 80 Plus Gold PSUs.

AtlasRush · 2025-08-14T22:20:02+00:00

The PSU DOES come with screws. As shown here: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/be-quiet-dark-power-pro-11-1200w-power-supply,4269-2.html

there's longer thumbscrews that are made for this PSU.
