yep you can actually make your own with any camera though by removing the filter and adding IR emitters. Was gonna do it with our shitty old Samsung camera but too lazy.

this volt mod is actually really cool
has display telling volts

i kindof want there to be a similar thing for temps on GPUs now lol

That really isn’t too bad for a vega 56 though

compared to what it was
still is $300+ over msrp

i would gladly pay $600 for a 1070 instead of $800.

I’d argue that comparing prices to msrp now is pointless because that is the new price now and were stuck with it whether we like it or not. I’m wayy too tired right now it was a struggle to even write this XD

yep. I’d be really interested on hearing his stance on it and whether in his opinion it would be a viable option over Windows for the general user. he has mentioned Linux a couple of times and even done a Techquickie on it and ofc uses it heavily in his server room but I want to know what he really thinks about it for the desktop.

iirc hes not a great fan of it on the desktop but he admits to having bias coming from windows. not 100% sure on it though so dont quote me.

luke on the other hand is a different story. Hes just waiting for it to be more main stream with game support. Hates windows with a passion

yeah I figured that might be his stance but thats fine, should always use what your most conformable with and can get your work done.

yep iirc didn’t luke mention that his next (or current) build idk. I think the one that he put the amethysts inside was going to be a Linux GPU passthrough build. think he’s also mentioned that a couple of other times with Wendell.

oooh
@Dje4321 how easy is it to mess with these things (the tegra Chromebooks)

Did he really have any doubts about that? I mean, Win10 is a shit show when it comes to privacy and control over your PC (forced updates).
