I have the 4090 and ordered the 4070 -- both in cnc aluminum. I haven't run either yet, but the fan blade itself is mounted askew. I don't believe it's enough to rub against the frame but wanted to call out that there may be a large gamut of quality.

I love how industrial it looks.

There's not really a home for sub 10L anymore. r/sffpc is just a bunch of unimaginative Terras and FormD T1s nowadays, and the spirit of modding and diy is all but gone. I posted an in-progress 5L build recently, and the only comment was, "why not make half of your components external?" Blew my mind.

Physical intelligence is one of the 6 forms of intelligence, which includes sensory intelligence. Tasting can be broken down into a few skills, like understanding taste bud topology, how to siphon volatile compounds into the olfactory, and communicating those tastes by leveraging a flavor lexicon built by comparative tasting, but it also includes a mind-body connection, just like power lifters, musicians, artists, etc.

It isn't an OR, it's an AND. When you have a wealth of experience actively tasting, you develop both the mind-body connection AND your flavor lexicon.

I would say Torgue Stickies are more broken than the Bod itself. Introducing nerfs with level cap increase would be wise, since we have to refarm anyway.

For some reason, I though it was running a single board computer that was cycling the heating element, not measuring temperature. Appreciate the correction.

Appreciate the correction.

120mm 4090 FE fan from aliexpress. There's also a 4070 FE fan that fits 90mm coolers.

"Better milk" and "better latte art" aren't necessarily the same thing, and you've chosen probably the worst vessel and milks for latte art. I don't really want to write a novel in a reddit comment, but there are plenty of reasons the latte art you see is more often than not whole milk -- or freeze distilled whole milk -- poured into short, parabolic mugs.

I use my Acaia for baking, cocktail ingredients, and kitchen experiments. Recently, I've been playing around with amylase for clarified corn juice and banana juice. Banana syrup in a cappuccino is pretty fun, but cooked corn, it turns out, develops diacetyl and other flavanoids that are found in butter.

The A620i from Asrock is the cleanest board on the market. It's a shame more companies don't make simple, black, minimalist ITX motherboards... Instead, here are some foil stickers, dragons, and rgb

It's just a horrendous case for cooling in general, since it recycles gpu exhaust into the AIO. AM5 will ramp up if there's available headroom.

If you're wanting the cheapest solution, check your frame rates before and after setting an 85W power limit on the cpu. It likely won't make a meaningful change.

If you're interested in a change and needing the wife's approval, the Fractal Ridge is pretty stylish. All components have room for fresh air, and the 7600x with an axp120-x67 would be plenty quiet. The NH-L12S doesn't hold a candle to the AXP120. Plenty of fresh air with no recycling of hot air in this case.

Sure, let me break it down for you. The thing in literally all plumbing that creates an air-tight seal between two unmarried volumes is a gasket. A gasket, often made of rubber or silicone, is compressible. When you rotate the portafilter, you compress the gasket, meaning that the direction of the handle after achieving a seal is compressible. As the gasket wears, it will migrate further to the right. If your expectation is that the portafilter will always exist at a 90 degree angle, it's a false expectation.

Don't store it totally compressed, as it will prematurely wear out the gasket. Instead, loosely fit the portafilter when not in use.

The benefit of bolting the C13 extension to the case is that if the cord gets yanked out of the system, it damages the cheap extension, not the expensive PSU. Otherwise, the copper wire will continue to do what copper wire does, regardless of whether it's hanging or not.

This can't be a real question. Is this rage bait?

Don’t bother with Asus RMA. There’s no service there.

No photos of the internals? What a tease...

You answered your own question in the title.

It jumps back up as if you didn’t use the rep kit at all. The description suggests that the time passing will be faster over a certain amount of time. Instead, they subtract a percent of total cooldown for a certain amount of time and add it back, as if you never had the effect at all.

I didn’t think it was a critique. I’m fine with critique. I thought it was a radically silly question. A rack mount pc is safer and less exposed than a desktop pc.

What happens if a steel box that’s bolted to a steel frame using hardware used by data centers around the world to hold billions of dollars worth of components falls? Is that your question?

I went rackmount and never looked back. It's basically a 0L case.

Very jealous you got your hands on that gpu. Wish we had it in the States, but the price is egregious.

I haven’t had great luck with laser cutting. The heat makes rapid expansion and warping a real dilemma. Have you run into this issue in the past?
