I was going to make unnecessarily mean joke about corvettes but pikachuface encapsulated how i feel about them quite neatly
deep sapphire
Usually corvettes are actually pretty reliable but because the C8 is a major departure mechanically I guess I’m not too surprised
They also have DCTs which suck for daily driving
deep sapphire
It’s the first mid engine corvette with a DCT
Before if you got an automatic it was the same slush box they used in other applications

so, early adoption growing pains?

And DCTs are well known to be a poor choice for daily driving
Great for the track
Not so great for daily

if you have a SSD, sleep is good enough
HDDs used to fail faster if you constantly turned them on and off so it made more sense to let them spin at idle instead of killing the bearings with constant on/off cycles

Wild, I didn't know MS kept the min specs for Win11 that low still. 1ghz dual core and 4gb ram min req
umbral moss
dunno how that would even work, maybe it's for win on arm
win 7 on 4GB is basically eternal suffering
odd sand
I'm trying to remember if I put 4gb or 8gb in my parents PC. I built it when Win8 first came out so its like 10 years old now, but I put an SSD in it at the time so its still quite fast. It's on 8.1 tho and that goes end of life by the end of the year, so I plan to move it up to Win10 one of these days when I visit
Core i3 3220 I think
Well... quite fast for their use-case which is Skype, Zoom, email, and web browsing
They're mostly on their tablets these days anyways, so I'll keep it trucking along for another 5-10 years if possible lol
Not bad for $300 in total parts
odd sand
Yeah the 3220 I got them is hyperthreaded, that's probably why it's still decent
Well, maybe I can try doing the Win11 upgrade then instead of Win10. They're used to ipad/ios now so the new UX would probably be an easy transition heh
Oh nm maybe not, forgot that's 3rd gen i7 the Win11 specs probably don't support that far back
Probably not, but that's only for an upgrade. Clean install doesn't require TPM I don't think, or did that change after beta?
That whole thing is so dumb. My 9900K from 2019 fails the PC health check even
umbral moss
TPM is stupid as hell
it's not like TPM is unbreakable, and pluton isn't even available
odd sand
I'm probably upgrading this fall tho so it won't be an issue. I'll likely sell the mobo/CPU to a friend waiting on an upgrade and chances are MS will relent on the 2025 Win10 EoL anyways
We're a little over 3 years away from that date and with the TPM shenanigans, a lot of people won't be upgraded.
odd sand
Which is why I said they will just extend Win10 support bc there will be a lot of perfectly good systems still on Win10 in 3 years
My 9900K would only be 6 years old at that point, and the average user isn't going to want to bring their PC in for a TPM dongle or even understand what that is and why they need to spend extra on it
umbral moss
yeah, without the extra security gubbins win11 is just win10 with an annoying centered taskbar

That's essentially what Ford did in the touchup of the Mach-E this year: They replaced the flat front of the car with a waffle-mesh that is filled in like 1/2 inch or 1 inch deep into it
I think they finally realized that the majority of people aesthetically expect a car to have a grill or it doesn't look right

Does Liquid Cooling reduce the amount of dust build up in the PC? I assume not, but was havin a chat with a bud who said otherwise
jaunty light
tbh I might go with yes, but only superficially because sucking air through rads would be more obstructive in general?
this is assuming you only have intakes on rads tho. many variables, could have air intakes separate from rads, does it include dust filters or not ,etc
somber solstice
dust will still build up regardless liquid cooling or not
royal forge
I'd think it would have minimal effect
somber solstice
yeah it would have minimal effect
getting a case that has mesh really help preventing dust build up inside your pc and also cleaning your environment

Was debatin liquid or air cool for mah build

But from what i gather, liquid just has the looks going for it?
Noise wise its pump vs fans
Cooling wasnt much to write about
I guess liquid would help in a small build?
umbral moss
But from what i gather, liquid just has the looks going for it?
❔
liquid cooling setups can dissipate significantly more heat than a heatsink alone could
my single 2x200 rad has enough dissipation to keep my GPU under 50C at load
I guarantee you won't find an air cooled setup that can manage that unless you put your PC in a fucking freezer
or live in like, antarctica
royal forge
I was under the impression a decent Aftermarket cooler could trade blows with a standard liquid cooler
umbral moss
I mean, a 1x120 will be about the same as a good HSF setup, but it also won't weigh 6kg and require special braces on the board to keep the socket from being ripped out over time
I have a board I put a TRUE on and it's literally bent from the weight of the heatsink
umbral moss
cooling is always a function of surface area, that's the magic that makes it go
so yeah, you'd want a custom loop
stuff like the h120i is just a slightly fancier air cooling array, since it's performing functionally the same thing with the same surface area (1x120)
that's why people are like "wow water cooling sucks, you can get similar perf with air cooling"
it's comparing 1x120 to 1x120 with a similarly sized heatsink and number of fans, so of course the performance is similar
now try to fit 3x140 on your CPU heatsink
umbral moss
not if you know how to use a screwdriver lmao
the only risk of leaking is from being too aggressive when tightening the barb fittings into acrylic, because it's plastic and mad easy to crack
the hoses themselves will never leak if you tighten them properly, and if you get correct tubing it won't leach plasticizer
I've been using the same loop and tubing since 2013 and the water is just as clear as it was the day I activated the loop
no garbage, no mystery detritus in the reservoir
just plain steam distilled water, some (mild) algaecide, and copper on brass or stainless everywhere
never, ever use aluminum unless you want to use aluminum for everything, the galvanic action between copper and aluminum causes aluminum hydroxide to build up in the loop and that's the white shit that people complain about in their loops
oh, and you want to make sure any stainless is actually stainless and not galvanized steel, because the zinc in the galvanized steel will also corrode into your loop and cause rust formation

That would be wild to have snails spontaneously grow in your loop.
umbral moss
AIOs tend to go bad after two or three years due to evaporation, you can't maintain them so the coolant just goes away after a while
it's common with tap water because there's all sorts of microbes and shit in there
plus you could have transplanted them accidentally from your own fingers
odd sand
I'm now imagining someone making a loop with a larger pump and tubing to intentionally keep snails or something in it /s
I doubt fish would work tho bc the water temp fluctuation would just kill them heh

happens commonly by accident where people contaminate their loops with mold from their fingers
