Liberals: "At least you get to criticize the government. You wouldn't get to do that in China."

Liberals upon meeting anti-genocide protestors: "Quiet, dissident."

what manga is that

i want to know more about this creature

Exactly, it's probably something like 24C. That would put the 200W loaded Hyper 212 at around 56.8C, which is not very plausible.

too much ranting about cooler testingman CPU cooler reviews. I'm usually interested in two things:

  1. how is the performance of this cooler relative to others?
  2. how could I expect this cooler to perform on my system?

I've read a lot of cooler test reports and at least in the older ones, I remember so often they could present useful comparative data but not absolute data. For instance, straight up not measuring the CPU power draw so that unless you have this exact CPU it wouldn't tell you much about how the cooler would perform on your system.

I mean look at this - how much power is "Idle"? and "load"? STOP TELLING ME WHAT THE VOLTAGE AND CLOCKSPEED IS I DON'T CARE. HOW MUCH POWER IS IT

I remember I would have to dig up other reviews of the CPU where they report the power draw at different clock speeds so I could guess at how much power was being dissipated in the cooler tests.

This review kind of has the same issue, though it tries to do better. I do appreciate the attempt at doing a standardized constant power testing, but the results are unrealistically low for core temps. The Hyper 212 absolutely does not hold 32.8C over ambient at 200W of real CPU heat dissipation (at least, unless the ambient temperature is like 50C. what is ambient? I don't think they specified). This doesn't seem like a good approximation of any modern CPU and is still only useful for a comparative test. Or maybe this is more of a Tcase estimate, which is much less useful than Tdie.

OH me too, I hate watching videos that should be articles. Text is so much better, faster, more convenient for this sort of reference material. I cannot stand having to scrub through a video to find a figure or a table.

Yeah, definitely. The more I think about it though, the less important I think this is. I suppose there's good reason that GPU brackets are popular and nobody bothers with a CPU heatsink bracket.

I realized that just the CPU cooler mounting pressure already loads the motherboard like a beam with a point load. This certainly results in some bending stress already, so perhaps the additional stress from the weight of the cooler hanging off the board is really not significant.

... I just lay the whole thing down on its side so I stop thinking about it.

I am all about comically large air coolers. Quiet, effective up to like 200W and zero leaks. Watercooling looks better though. Tubes.

The one thing that I don't like about air coolers is how every case positions the motherboard vertically, which means the heatsink (if giant like mine) applies a lot of torque on the motherboard. I have never had this cause a problem, it just does not sit well with me

[The Palestinian] genocide is going to happen regardless of the two.

damn, citizens in western democracies don't really have a say in what the state does? at least we're not in AUTHORITARIAN communist china though am i right
