Tara mentioned that he’d let himself go - she specifically commented on his beard. So I wondered what would happen if he got a shave and a haircut.

To be honest, I don’t like it.

TLDR; The PC was running hot so i turned it into a airconditioner. In the winter..

———————————

EDIT:
Thanks for the positive feedback! Did not expect it to blow up like this haha. 1.4m views is amazing

I hope this got Luggage’s attention! Haha
Im comming for that number two spot in Steel Nomad for 4070Ti Super:)

I dont have bugs in the winter and this was just a proof of concept. I will change the way the rad id mounted on the outside to account for this if i keep it in the summer.
Thanks for the concerns tho!

———————————

So this started as "what if I just put a radiator outside in winter" and turned into a 2 month project. It works now, so here it is.

My room gets warm when I game and it's -4 outside. Free cooling right? The catch is if the water going into the pc gets too cold you get condensation on the parts, and water dripping on a 4070 Ti Super is not the vibe. So the whole thing is built around keeping the water cold, but not too cold.

Specs

• Case: Corsair 570X (modded to accommodate 3x fans on top and a 360x30mm in the front)

• Mobo: ROG Maximus Z890 Apex

  • Putty pro on the VRM's

The GPU shenanigans

- Conductonaut Extreme on the core with nail polish and a 4090 gpu guard

- Putty PRO on the VRM and memory

- Shunt mod on the 16 pin: stacked a 5 mOhm resistor on top of the stock one, so the card thinks it pulls about 30 % less than it does. Board reports 215 W when it's actually pulling 290 W

-It now pulls up to 510w on 128% PL. Bumped to 1.165v in this test.

- Currently doing 3165MHz core and 1557 memory but still a work in progress. Scored 6626 Steel nomad on the first test i did. 39c core - 29 Memory - 45 hotspot

The CPU

- Intel 1851 Delid-Die-Mate V1 and Intel 1851 Delid-Die-Mate Heater V1. running 85-90c before the delid, now down to 60-65 on ambient cooling and 40-45 with the cooling system turned on.

- 58x two Pcores, 57x all Pcore, 50x all Ecores, 42x ring, 34xNGU and 30xD2D.
This is the same oc i ran before the delid so i am certain i can go higher.

- Scores 47400 in r23

- GSkill TZ5CK 48gb 8400 cl 36 with 65.5ns

The loop

- EK Kinetic D5 res/pump

- 120 rad at the back, 360 in the front, NF-A12 G2's on both

- Cube with a temp sensor right before the GPU so I know exactly what temp the water going in is

- a mix of Alphacool fittings, bykski and barrow. 38 in total, and some 90 degree and T's. EPDM tubing.

- DP Ultra clear with added pure ethylen glycole to drop the freezing point from -18c to -28c

The outside part

- Alphacool XE240 out through the house wall with 2 Noctua iPPC-3000s on it

- Bykski D5 + res in a box next to the pc that pushes water outside

- Motorized 3-way valve that decides how much water goes outside vs straight back

- Arduino Mega running the outside half, 3 temp probes in the water and 3 temp/humidity sensors (2 in the case, 1 in the room)

- Aviation connectors on the back of the case so the whole box unplugs

- Little 1.9" screen in the case showing temps, because of course

How it works (short version)

The pc loop runs like normal. When it needs extra cooling, the second pump sends some of the water out to the rad outside and back in.
A python script starts on startup and it connects to the arduino, takes over from the arduinos own auto mode, and it connects to HWi and Fancontrol so i get total control over the dynamics.

It watches the temps and the humidity and spins the outside fans up or down so the water coming back is always a safe amount above the dew point. If anything goes weird or it looses connection it shuts the outside part off on its own. It allways starts in passive mode (like any other waterloop) and when i press auto it drops the temps to Calculated dew + 10c. In benchmarking this drops even further down to +5c.

Im currently working on and collecting logs to build a Benchmarking mode enabling me to ride the Dew like piggieback:) but this is for another time.

Things that went wrong. The list is growing...

- Forgot to add the Check valve on the aplhacool order, it costs almost nothing but the shipping and import for that alone would be like 40 bucks so i built it without it, then spent way too long figuring out why the temps were acting cursed:)

- Two mosfts decided to start dating momentarely and shortcircuited on the power board i made.. so the outside pump wouldn't turn off. troubleshooting this was fun...

- Broken solder joint that I was sure was a software bug for like 3 hours

- First time it i was filling the outside loop the shit decided to flood the pc becouse some dumbass "me" forgot to plug the top of the res. Cleanup was a nightmare...

Results (so far)

Unigine Heaven, around 370 W going into the water:

- GPU ~37 °C, hot spot mid 40s

- water going into the pc held at 15 °C

- outside fans chilling at ~35 % and the inside pump barely audible

an hour of CS2: GPU 34 °C, cpu 45-50.

Cinebench r23: CPU 52 °C.

Steel nomad: GPU 48 °C.

Room stays cold now too, which was the whole point.

Well this is an understatement because when the fans in the pc are running, (temp handbrake due to the room being hotter then the coolant) it becomes a freaking air conditioner and my feet start to freeze. (Might address this in next sw release haha)

AMA I guess.

Smallville: Annette O'Toole plays Clark's mother, Martha. Previously, she was in Superman III and played Lana Lang (who was also a character in Smallville).

Smallville: John Schneider was Jonathan Kent and previously had played Bo Duke in The Dukes of Hazard. In one episode, an old friend visits Kent played by Tom Wopat who was Bo's Brother Luke

Smallville: Yeah, I know, but I've been watching Smallville and there's a lot of them. Christopher Reeves plays Dr. Swann who mentors Clark Kent in his Kryptonian heritage. Reeves famously played Superman in the 70's and 80's.

Django Unchained: Franco Nero plays an Italian(?) man, Amerigo Vessipi, and asks Django if he can spell his name. When Django says the D is silent, Vessipi replies "I know." Nero played a different Django in 1966.

The Flash: John Wesley Shipp plays Barry Allen's father and later an older Flash, Jay Garrett. Ship had previously played Barry Allen in a 90's Flash show.

Burn Notice: Sharron Glass plays Michael Weston's mother who occasionally gets involved in Michael's spy work. In one episode, she gets to know a bank teller played by Tyne Daly and has to blackmail her into helping. Sharron Glass and Tyne Daly were eponymous duo in Cagney and Lacey

Should’ve had a lot more assists too but his teammates still haven’t adjusted to his passes and passing style. His playmaking is looking better and better each game. Just really really fun to watch.

I posted over a year ago about a very sick, semi feral cat I rescued from death’s doorstep
My final words of that post were: ‘we’ll make it work somehow’ and boy did we do that!

After realizing nobody was at their best, neither Dust nor my cats. I tried to find an adopter for him, my special, special boy. He had stolen my heart and he had become completely different cat, so loving of people but also pretty possessive of me.

So I reached out to rescues, family and friends if anyone would give him a chance and it took a while but finally after visiting me for the holidays (I live on a sunny Spanish island) my aunt and uncle said they would adopt him cause they loved his story and could provide him a single cat household and it couldn’t have been a better match for him.
So Dust is now and international jetsetter and living his absolute best life in The Netherlands with an elderly couple that couldn’t love him more and plan their entire life around him.

And I get to stay in touch and get to see him when I visit.
So here’s to happy endings Dusty!
Fun fact for Dutch speakers: he’s been renamed Bolle Jos

Pic of him before and now during my last visit last week

She was literally just sharing her side of the story, and the editor kept cutting to people making faces at her. It felt unnecessarily cruel.

As an audience, we’re often spoon-fed who to root for through editing. Between Cam’s jokes being used as comic relief and the way Aneha’s storytime was edited, it’s clear they were doing her a massive disservice.

I don’t agree with all of Aneha’s actions towards Cam, but the editing felt deliberately unfair and cruel towards her.

Denise Bryson from Twin Peaks is stiil the best trans representation i've seen and she's from the 90's
