I love the reviews on the case fan I bought, omg
Pros: -It will cool your computer case quickly
-It is double ball bearing, so horizontal mounting a-okay
-Spins fast
Cons: -The fan is about as thick as a regular case fan plus a half, so beware
-When it was completely revved-up, it made my whole computer case shake like an unbalanced washing machine
-It changed weather patterns in my community for a couple of hours until i made a good fan profile for it
-Only a three pin connector
Other Thoughts: -You have a case cooling problem, this is the solution. You could have two of these blowing through a filter into your case, and it would overpower 4-6 other case fans depending on the airflow, and rpm's of the other fans. It is a beast! I only have one, and when it goes all super saiyan mode, it sounds like my computer has a turbine engine in it. It moves so much air that my other fans slow down because they cannot do anything to help this one fan show. I have three fans in (one of them being this one) and four fans out. Idling around 30% it is about as loud as my other fans, anything above that, it is fairly noticeable.
gentle dragon
I just found a fan that can move 241 CFM

Liquid cooling is so basic though

pale sigil
Whats the point in faffing around tho
gentle dragon
If you have to ask that question, you wouldn't understand.
gentle dragon
Nobody really needs evaporative cooling to get -20C core temp
pale sigil
But now i just don't care.
Efficiency > shit temps
xD
One thing i haven't done though is custom loops which i will eventually.
gentle dragon
By that logic, 90C is good as long as it's efficient
pale sigil
But liquid cooling is efficient and gets you good temps
Air cooling requires faffing around and making sure airflow is perfect
gentle dragon
Fuck efficiency! I want my PC to be absolutely ridiculous!
pale sigil

pale sigil
I mean, i also have all air going right of my window if that counts as making an effort.

I still take care
But i just don't go extreme anymore

I use RGB if the thing I own happens to have it, but I won't go out of my way to get it.

But i mean
Mech wise not so much
my first mech was one of theirs tbh
fickle ore
I go out of my way to remove leds, so damn annoying
Btw, which one is more efficient air cooling vs liquid?
Isn't liquid cooling using more power?
gentle dragon
Looking at power consumption, yes
But for gaming, it actually uses less power than air cooling methods
fickle ore
for what reason?
gentle dragon
The CPU is kept cooler for much longer when using a two or three-slot radiator, and the fans don't have to spin as fast to keep the heat down
I THINK the pump also uses less power than a fan when talking about a pre-assembled loop like the Corsair one I have, but for custom loops that include the CPU and RAM, and sometimes other components too, it's about the same as air cooling, maybe more
Looking at how much lower the temps get though, it's worth it. Hotter components die faster, so liquid cooling is actually better in the long-run.
Nothing can stop your PC from heating your room though, no matter which one you use haha
fickle ore
Cooler components also use less electricity
Thanks for the info, had to go shop, back now
I'm in the planning stages for my next PC. My current one is from 2011
I've always been running air cooling but really would like to tinker with something new, and efficiency is the goal
gentle dragon
I'm using the Corsair H55
gentle dragon
Air cooling does still have diminishing returns
Liquid cooling does too, but the rate isn't quite as fast
Liquids are better for heat transfer than air as well due to the much larger temperature difference between it and the cpu
reef patrol
If you're overclocking at that level, you might as well go custom.
AIOs are a pain longterm.
gentle dragon
I don't overclock, but I do game for long periods of time. A simple prebuilt is enough for me
reef patrol
Prebuilts have gotten a LOT better in recent years, save for a few brands.
They've finally started using standard motherboards and PSUs for the most part.
gentle dragon
The only problem I have with liquid cooling is the radiators
Soooo hard to clean without a shop vac
reef patrol
Compressed air - And those rads aren't any different from an air cooled prebuilt... just saying 😄
gentle dragon
They're at least easier to clean, just harder to get at
I have to take the radiator fans off first on the prebuilt
reef patrol
Pop front off, dust off front dust mesh,. Blow a bit inside of case with some compressed air. Pesto.
gentle dragon
I tend to let mine accumulate too much
My radiator is black
When I opened the case to clean it the other day, it was white
There was a LOT of dust in there
reef patrol
Sounds like you need better dust filters 😄
gentle dragon
I have none lol
reef patrol
Well there's your problem 😉
gentle dragon
Hahah perhaps
I'll definitely add one soon though
I need a fan strong enough to pull air through a relatively thick filter
Which is where the 218 cfm one comes in
I hear one of them overpowers 4 or 5 normal fans

I've got 99½ problems, but fans ain't it. Got 5 casefans 😅

I should have it at the top because the video cards are currently below it, but I'm not concerned with optimizing air flow and thermals
I have a 1740 and a 1050Ti
It's a low profile nvidia though, so it gives off a bit of heat..

ok so where's the problem?
pale sigil
who are we on about here
pale sigil
LOL i thought you were air cooled @gentle dragon
latent mural
i just assumed 50 under load was just not at max
gentle dragon
That's normal load; like after 4 hours of siege
50 to 60
I'm hoping to get 40-50 with the new fan, but that's pretty optimistic
gentle dragon
I really don't
Nobody needs a fan that moves 102 liters of air per second
But it's gonna be fun having it hehe
latent mural
then save the money on the fan and buy several cans of compressed air (all the ones i ever got was explosive btw, since butane at a canning plant can end up cheaper than compressing and demoisturising air)
gentle dragon
Fuck you I'm buying the case fan anyway lmao

Ambient temp is disgusting. The room has no active conditioning, so it ranges between 21C and 26C

ok then, so assuming your desk is not open it's like 30C there?

Idk if it'll help the cpu, but the video cards might benefit
Oh, maybe I need to reapply the thermal paste?
latent mural
try the open air thing first
fickle ore
Doesn't a radiator use more power than air coolers though?
then you have the other stuff that uses power aswell on the liquid cooling setup
latent mural
i don't think the pump would use up as much as a fan at all
gentle dragon
Liquid cooling is a slightly colder air cooling system that can be placed away from the cpu
latent mural
well the point is really that you can take the heat away better with moving water (liquid) instead of a heatpipe
latent mural
except for simplicity there isnt a radiator inside the cooling plate (waterblock) :c
gentle dragon
Maybe I have a shitty paste?
fickle ore
Aye so bassicaly liquid cooling: slightly increased power usage, but colder parts so less voltage needed + less electricity leakage so less power used per part.. But how much is the question I think
gentle dragon
Enough that it's worth the extra cash
latent mural
naga i have never checked, but i cant imagine the tiny pump would take more power than a fan
reef patrol
It's ancient 😅
latent mural
nagga: the direct purpose is to reduce temps, if you're running 80C at your desired load and the fan is running 80% then you get water cooling
reef patrol
Depends on how long ago it was manufactured.
It's not unimportant with AIOs by any means.
gentle dragon
Yeah, water cooling took my idle temp down 20 degrees, and my load temp down 15
Cooler components last longer, so there's a longevity to it too
reef patrol
The main pro of an AIO is moving the rad away from the CPU area, and these days having some RGB lights.
The cons include - Not being able to replace "just" the pump when that dies. Glycol escaping the loop, with no way to refill it and price.
latent mural
i would say components under 65C last longer
reef patrol
Unless you're doing some heavy overclocks, the hardware will be long since outdated and replaced by the time they fizzle out.
latent mural
but what if you want it last forever?
fickle ore
Ok, anything better than AIO? for efficiency? ^_^
latent mural
so in 30 year you'd go, oh look my old ryzen
reef patrol
The most efficient is an air cooler - But they are bulky.
(Price performance ratio of course*)
gentle dragon
Air cooling is cost-efficient, but they take a lot of space and don't cool as much.
reef patrol
If you want the strongest possible cooling, you're looking at 5-700€ worth of custom watercooling with monoblocks for both CPU and GPU.
latent mural
naga: no overclocking is what you're looking for then
gentle dragon
Well excluding price, the only benefit air cooling has over liquid is that air doesn't leak
Even then, leaks in liquid cooling is extremely rare
reef patrol
Wellllll...it does. But not in the same way 😄
gentle dragon
Haha
latent mural
air is full immersion cooling, it has no place to leak
reef patrol
Uhh... yes it does.
latent mural
well, inside the heatpipes
reef patrol
And those will eventually lose their contents over time.
latent mural
even an empty copper tube does work better than a solid one
gentle dragon
Air is also less efficient at heat transfer than water is, and since the fins are inside the case, you need the cpu fan as well as the exhaust fans in order to get your efficiency from it. In LQ radiators, the cpu fan IS the exhaust fan, so it's blowing the heat right out of the case
Having a positive pressure inside helps with cooling as well. Air is under pressure and wants to get out to equalize with the outside air, so it moves faster, increasing the cooling for most components by a bit
reef patrol
At any rate - Air is the most idiotproof and cheap of the three, but also typically bulkiest.
AIOs are great... until they die - and then you need to throw the entire thing out.
Custom is expensive to get into, but lets you replace parts, instead of the entire thing.
latent mural
and custom can leak easier
reef patrol
That mostly depends on your abilities as a builder 😄
gentle dragon
If you build it wrong, yes
latent mural
mansen: well it's his first time isnt it?
gentle dragon
If you know what you're doing, you'll never get a leak.
Wrapping the joints in paper towels helps I've heard
latent mural
regular check ups are still a good idea
gentle dragon
Oh absolutely
reef patrol
It can happen. Hard to spot faulty orings. But that's why you run a 3-24hour test before turning on the PC.
Using hardtube is more risky than soft, since it doesn't fit as perfectly.
latent mural
orings do get worn down though
gentle dragon
Eeesh, hardtube is a nightmare
latent mural
are there high pressure pump/reservoir systems yet?
so that it sucks the air inside, triggers an alarm
gentle dragon
High pressure sounds like a bad idea for pc cooling
reef patrol
Eh?
latent mural
stuff like that
reef patrol
If your pump sucks in air, you won't miss it. It makes a very noticeable sound 😄
latent mural
I mean, assuming one of your orings has failed and your loop is no longer sealed, if there's sufficiently high vacuum, via a means of an ejector pump, you would not get a leak instantly, you would get additional air in your "deaeration reservoir"
reef patrol
Not quite - Water goes out, air comes in.
latent mural
if you'd have an alarm that your vacuum is insufficient, then you'd know something is wrong
mansen: if there's sufficient vacuum, water doesnt go out
gentle dragon
It's not really a vacuum persay
latent mural
as in, not instantly
gentle dragon
Water just flows
latent mural
Zxara: but it could be
reef patrol
Air has mass and volume - It can't just enter a full loop, without something else leaving it 😉
latent mural
mansen: that's why i said there should be a deaeration tank
gentle dragon
I've seen open-air reservoirs. Completely negates the problem of air in the loop.
reef patrol
And introduces bacteria... 😄
latent mural
there are chemicals for that
gentle dragon
Granted, the reservoir is twice the size to prevent air from getting down into the pipes
reef patrol
Not to that extent.
Reservoirs are designed for one purpose - To keep the pump from eating air, and to let you replace air pockets that have moved to the res with more liquid (and of course to top it off over time, since liquid inevitably escapes)
gentle dragon
Ah
latent mural
just saying this would be possible
and i wondered if it's done already in computer cooling
reef patrol
Not needed tbh.
latent mural
lots of things aren't needed and are just cool
gentle dragon
The reservoir catches air before it gets fed through the pump
reef patrol
You basically need six things for an efficient loop.
A block
A radiator
A pump
A reservoir
A flow/temp gauge

ok, time to look at that midi thing
we have 87 keys (there are 88 keys on a piano, and that's more than you'd want via CCs AND 14 bit poly aftertouch is common which is good since wooting values are 8 bit, not 7)
and there can be 16 keys registered at the same time (there are 16 channels on a midi port)
and velocity might be a problem so the first thing you think you'd do is play an organ
let's just bind each key to a unique polyphonic aftertouch/pressure (each new key gets it's own channel)
and then just interpret those in some familiar means
well this was productive, stops looking at it
hm..
there is this odd lag on the example provided
better I do something natively
installing juce
latent mural
I actually think this is what the Wooting devs should do, if Velocity becomes impossible to really manage, just make it constant and only have polyphonic pressure
or 'fake' it like the cheeper keyboards do
the maximum depth value in some initial moment shall be the velocity
Oh right MPE ( MIDI Polyphonic Expression) is now standard
"Wooting One qwerty keyboard adds to the list of MPE supporting devices"
that would be an interesting headline to read, considering there are less devices on that list than fingers on your hand
gentle dragon
Tyuio, I know you like to overexplain things, but doing it in public is awkward to see and gives off some vibes you may not want people to associate with you.
latent mural
@gentle dragon I firmly believe it might promote an interesting conversation in #tech-talk as MIDI is somewhere in the future of Wooting and would be a highly rippling device especially at this price point as well as arguably would be the one real area where 87 depth sensing keys with RGB would be of a direct practical benefit.
gentle dragon
Head to #archived_feed_us_back and ask them what they can do about velocity. It sounds like they can do it with their existing tech, and it would be fantastic for musicians
latent mural
I have
gentle dragon
Did they say anything about it?
latent mural
there's a prototype that sort of works if i recal but it's a problem
gentle dragon
Oh hey, Fleimi!
The laser can be used to calculate distance over time without much extra effort, or am I mistaken?
Like, 15% pressed for a ms, 50% the next
And calculate velocity based on tge distance between the distances; the laser already does that, so it's entirely plausible
latent mural
zx: the problem is if all that can be done on the firmware level
because if that is done via usb you might run into consistency problems at a usual usb speed
or so my other similar device and device manufacturer convinced me
All that said, velocity does too often actually denote pressure in virtual instruments
so it would be velocity-to max input value
I mean midi pressure
so pretty much exactly what the wooting outputs
pressure doesn't mean actual pressure, the name is only what it's suppose to mean in a real life musical instrument
in midi reality it's how far you've pushed
gentle dragon
I call the wooting sensory stuff pressure because it's easy
It's actually pretty accurate for such a small device
latent mural
some keys on random are not though
i think i had 2
different maximum
i had this silly idea of making a rhymth game to calibrate the keys
The user follows a beat by bottoming out a key. That gives us a time frame from actuation to bottoming out. As we know the distance it can travel, maybe it would be possible to figure out a compensation curve for the movement
i think with a lot of averaging it might work
gentle dragon
There would be too much inconsistency
latent mural
nono that's silly, just use a microphone
and hit they keys loudly but dont break the keyboard
or...
bottom out to release
hexed gyro
@latent mural If you can figure it out, more than welcome to share thoughts. Calibrating is a tough cookie to crack, and we're mostly focused on stabilizing as much as possible.
latent mural
It seems i will be extra busy this week and the next one.
So let me just elaborate how a mic can be used.
A mic, coupled to the keyboard by the means of direct contact anywhere on the keyboard, picks up the transient (peak) from a key being struck at the top and bottom position. Consistent automated transient detection in near silence is easy.
The resolution of the recorded result is well under 1ms.
Since we have a precise timestamp from the actuation point to bottoming out with all the input values recorded in between , we can form a per-key, driver controlled compensation curve.
This assumes:
×The keyboard can output sufficient data in that small timeframe (as the user needs to be fast enough as the pressing speed must be sufficiently linear, giving good data after averaging out multiple attempts);
× The need for calibration comes from irregularities in the optics (which i think i read the devs say) and the maximum travel being slightly less on some random problematic key.

Was thinking about that calibration idea and surely the right method would be storing the full sensor data during calibration input on the keyboard then sending it in post to usb. So what we need is any mic the user has combined with the direct, high time resolution output from the keyboard, there should not be any problems then.

I am 100% sure all Wooting owners have a mic. But yes, for future you might have ti calibrate in house with something fancier and have it downloadable via serial number. But i understand the goal is for the Wooting to have everything it needs onboard the firmware, the limited hardware is the issue?
reef patrol
You'd be surprised.
reef patrol
A mic isn't just a mic either. You'll need a certain level of noise reduction and gating to get a decent sound for calibration.

Quick question for you all: 34" 1080p ultrawide. Yay or nay? Will I survive the lower PPI? There's no way I'll afford a 1440p one, next option would 29" (I really want an ultrawide :D)
latent mural
@latent mural Were only detecting the much louder transients, there's no need for noise reduction and gates, the mic is in physical contact with the keyboard
a lot of those cheep mics will probably clip on the transient anyway

Wait for the reviews.
Always wait for reviews.
It's a refresh, not a new architecture. People are expecting a lot from something that realistically isn't going to happen - I predict 4.1 - 4.2 on most chips at most.
That's not on all cores.
These aren't 4 core intels, but 6-8 core AMD chips.
A lot more heat
What reviews? There's an embargo till the 19th. 😉
I can't read half of that, much less voltages, cores and so on and so forth 😄
And it looks like they only did short bursts of Cinebench. That's ... very light in terms of checking for a stable OC 😃
I'm not saying they aren't right - I'm just saying. Be paranoid till the release date, where everyone gets to share. They may have gotten a golden chip that does speeds that only 1-5% of them do. Always a gamble.
Happened with Coffee Lake.
Then you can't go wrong even with Ryzen 2 😅
Though I'd go for a 6 core instead of the 8 core ones, if gaming is all you do. Or the 8350K if you don't mind overclocking. Beast of a CPU for gaming.

@sinful grove It's great software, especially considering it's free. Still a bit hard to wrap you head around and setup. Only thing I didn't like in the end is that there's audio delay and the program crashed a couple times on me.
The Audio delay is not a big deal unless you're playing games and you receive certain key audio signals at a significant enough delay. Wasn't able to setup direct audio from PC outside of banana, while a second PC sound route runs into banana that I can't hear but can control all the audio going out from. Using just the latter for the stream and the first for myself.

Are those the official prices they will have? If so, that's some aggressive pricing, I do wonder how Intel will respond to that.

I mean, it would be effective to get new bug reports straight to discord, the downside being it only updates every hour or so.

@fervent plaza
I tried to add a role with it, so that it could ping it everytime it sent, but somehow discord is identifying it as "deleted-role".
EDIT: finding the right id was different than how I thought, but it now tags correctly.
zenith mirage
Fair enough. I personally value picture quality in terms of contrast and colour reproduction at the cost of responsiveness. Got an IPS panel for a wee bit more than that one sells for here and overclocked it to 75Hz. No freesync but i've never had it so i can't miss it
Also a wee bit smaller but i sit close enough that it doesnt matter much to me

It wont provide as much info, but its doable.
I have done RSS webhooks before, so I know that shit works.
glad scroll
I understand that, I'm looking through the rss to see what info will be retrieveable without it posting straight html code.
glad scroll
The rss module might not be up to date enough to work with reddit
its most likely why both of them are failing.
I read another reddit about it, and it seems that it might not be as quick as the other services.
I dont mean hours in waiting, but up to 2 min delay.
