    Vega/Navi Rumors (Updated)

    I would have much rather not written that at all, but the implementation of those Radeon packs is very confusing, and disappointing. AMD based RX Vega around an improved user experience with FreeSync being a strong point there, and the $100 extra to get $220 in potential goods is less appealing...

    The Haswell-E Heat-spreader and Die-Size -- Implications for Cooling

    Yup. I was also surprised how big the 5960x was compared to the other 2 Haswell chips (G3258 and 4770k) I have:

    [Work log] The Utterly Imbalanced CaseLabs TX10-D build(s)!

    Update time (although probably not one you were expecting since I have not yet finalized on my x99 motherboard and RAM): I was speaking to Will, the CEO/CTO at Hardware Labs, about a few things in general and then realized my hotbox would be a great place to test out radiators. One email...

    I finally am done with 1 NDA only to have another pop up real soon. I got the new EK Supremacy Evo which I spent the last 2 weeks testing (among other things): I made a review of it here for anyone interested...

    Ok I finally set up the "studio" I got from Amazon: Definitely still a work in progress, I need to iron out the wrinkles in the backdrop sheets (that come in white, black, red and blue) and fix those lights better. I underestimated how much space this would take- my dining table downstairs...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    The reason OCN deleted the thread is because I posted in there about the OP potentially being affiliated with the company making it a sponsored review. I guess the forum managers looked into it and deleted it because no sponsored reviews are allowed there unless specifically mentioned as such...

    Hehe.. I am fairly certain I can fit in there no problem and I am no small guy either. No name yet, I would love to get any suggestions. The way the pictures make it look beige/old school, I should find a few floppy drives and throw them in there for a troll build. Nah, just kidding :)

    Before anything else get's done, something came up that brought back memories of 2011: A Space Odyssey: If these were bigger and shone at night, it would be nightmare worthy. Good thing they are just 2 of the 4 vandal switches going in here: Each switch is held in place by a O-ring...

    I wish I could show better how it looks in person, the texture is also very unique and makes it very dist/moisture resistant. Here are the promised close-up shots: Also worked on the doors and got them done: I realized later than I had the handles put in the wrong way...

    Thank you! I found some time to work on the pedestal. The poor thing had been left as a frame only for over a week: First up- base added: That leaves these bare spaces where the casters go (what a shocker!): For some reason I had the standard casters on the case even though...

    Powdercoating done! I am currently at the place waiting for the parts to cool down, they literally just removed it out of a massive oven and it is ridiculously hot in here with ovens all around: Those pictures (from my phone) do it no justice. These look absolutely great :D

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    This should have been in the first post, that's all I meant. But this is good enough for me, thanks. I am still interested in seeing how this product grows, even if I will likely never use it.
