Need More Projects!
🕑 Added 2016-07-07 00:03:06 +0000 UTC I've been having a lot of fun with these more DIY-themed projects lately. The Hybrid builds were a start -- but we're probably going to do more. They're interesting from a creation standpoint: Putting together such content doesn't capitalize my time, but gives Andrew a good amount of editing work -- and that means more content total, since I don't bottleneck his process for those videos.I'm looking to expand outside of just GPU mods. Right now, we're in the process of upgrading our render rig. That's the next project. Andrew's building a custom Blender scene to test our render output speed, then we'll do the same for Premiere. Once we've got baseline numbers, my next goal is to put the system under liquid cooling, overclock it, and see what the real-world impact is. That should be a fun project that very directly impacts our workflow. We'll see how that goes!
But, before that, we've got to survive the GTX 1060 review and final RX 480 content. That's in the pipes first.
If anyone's got more ideas, leave 'em below or tweet @GamersNexus!

That's a reasonable idea. If you've got a side-mounted fan in the case that pumps straight into the blower, it could assist. You will still be limited by the ability of the copper and aluminum to sink the heat (dissipation only gets you so far -- still need conduction to keep up), but it could certainly help!

I encountered an interesting idea on reddit the other day. Pretty simple really, attach a 90mm fan over the top of the blower fan on a reference cooler. Or if you use an RX 480, a fan on both sides. Theory was, if you actively feed the blower fan you should be able to get equivalent or better cooling for lower RPMs. Just a thought, I found the idea intriguing, but I don't have any reference cooler cards to test it with.

You know those water walls in between glass in businesses. Maybe exclude the power supply but do something like that.

I double dare you! Get some non conductive fluid and submerge an entire PC in it. There must be flow obviously. Test that. Do so in a way that you can still access the ports you need to be able to access. Maybe a water fall directly over the mobo and components. Use some junk PC. Maybe you can add something to the fluid to increase its thermal properties. You know those water walls in between glass in businesses. Maybe exclude the power supply but do something like that.

Heyyo, "the GTX 1060 review"? Interesting! Do I smell a hybird GTX 1060 coming up too!? Haha your hybird videos make me really ponder about doing a frankenstein liquid cooling mod for my R9 390... but it still has warranty haha :P
