It sounds like the video card doesn't want to tango either from thermal issues and/or it is boosting into instability land. The video driver is trying to restart the card to factory settings but it gets stuck. If you are unsure about memory, you can try running Memtest86 on it for a few passes but i...
If you really need to go Intel and haven't got a Coffee Lake system yet. Look no further then 10700K. Why would I "really need to go Intel"? :-? Outside of a few use cases (You want Optane memory and/or need to get insane framerates on ancient games, certain niche applications). There are...
10900K and 10900 are in "avoid territory" as expected. 10700K is a slightly cheaper 9900K tied to a newer motherboard platform which at least one more CPU upgrade available to it. If you really need to go Intel and haven't got a Coffee Lake system yet. Look no further then 10700K (cheaper ...
The problem is that somewhat small difference isn't worth the opportunity cost for the majority of customers. Most CLC units on the market are just subpar and often have the same thermal performance as any decent air-cooling solution but cost quite a bit more while being stuck the potential faults ...
pumps(common failure point) Funny, my D5 is nearly 20 years old. Yes, air cooling is easier and can be cheaper depending on what your definition of quiet is and how much heat you're trying to dissipate. That's it, water wins in early every other metric. You may not like it and that's fine, but wate...
"Air cooling works just as well as water cooling" "Why?" "Water is annoying." Hmm... It is because water-cooling is more restrictive in surface area since you cannot immerse electronics in it unlike air (which is technically immersive cooling). The surface area budget ...
There's a reason why water-cooling is pretty much limited to niches like HPC and hobbyist arenas. Because crud like the above keeps getting posted? Yes, you can technically get pretty close with monstrous coolers and a ton of properly-designed heat pipes...but really, it's hard to get there without...
The much benefit of water is reducing noise level. That was true 15 years ago, but now not so much. Waterblocks and heatpipes have similar thermal dissipation performance. The difference is that water has a higher specific heat than air. If you put a bargain basement CLC up against a decent heatsin...
Not by much though, thermal density has been a growing pain. The much benefit of water is reducing noise level. Waterblocks and heatpipes have similar thermal dissipation performance.
This doesn't come that much of a shock since Tesla. HPC/Enterprise customers always get first treatment of a new architecture that gradually gets distilled down to other markets.
Intel already screwed-up royalty as of late with whole Meltdown/Spectre issues. The damage is beginning to sink in. Yes, but they are entrenched enough that AMD will need to continue to execute flawlessly, and Intel will need to continue to stumble, if AMD is to take a dominant position. The odds a...

The last Intel was behind in laptop/DTR space for raw performance was during K8-era. Mobile Pentium 4s couldn't keep up. Pentium-Ms were almost as fast but were energy efficient. Intel really cannot complete in the mobile space now they no longer have an architecture and node advantage. Factory-over...
What color is the Sun? Without the Earth's atmosphere doing Rayleigh scattering, it is white with a very small hint of yellow. With the atmosphere plus Rayleigh scattering, it ranges from an incandescent red to very bright incandescent yellow-white. This thread is just a dumpster fire that is going...
Tahiti always had legs on it. Kepler relied so much on software-level optimizations due to its awkward CUDA core setup and craved for memory bandwidth. It doesn't really come much to a shock that quickly fell behind GCN.
Well, that escalated quickly. F@H just broke the exaFLOP barrier. Now larger than the top 100 supercomputers in the world combined. Sweet mother of mercy. That's an insane amount of aggregated computing output. Has it delivered anything worthwhile? Outside of papers for pure research, nothing concr...
It is crazy that there aren't nearly enough WUs to go around. I don't think this ever happened before with Folding@home project prior to the COVID19 outbreak and coincidental shutdown of SETI@Home project.
