I never trusted or would eat anything my co workers brought in. I figure if I can barely trust my cooking and kitchen hygiene (and I'm careful as hell) I sure as hell ain't trusting other people who I work with and wouldn't have confidence they even wipe their redacted or wash their hands. Nothing more ominous then a home cooked meal for everybody from someone who is too lazy to even clean up after their mess in the office kitchen. What's their home like?

Blah...

We get bottled (glass) milk delivered to our office because we're extremely posh and living in the 1950s or something

Only one person drinks the full fat milk and when she finishes a bottle she "cleans" it by just filling it up to the brim with tap water and leaving it in the sink

(we keep the bottles because when the milk people do their next delivery they take the old empty ones for recycling)

My work isn't that bad for that sort of thing though really, there's only a max of 7 of us in the office on a given day so there's lots of accountability for any kitchen and bathroom related shithousery

Steelheads start tomorrow on the road, their first home game is a couple weeks away. Still haven't decided about renewing yet. May talk to my rep today.

When I was a kid and even past that, the cooler would go on top of the chip and it would not be that big

Today's newer processors require mammoth fans to coolt hem down !

I'm not an expert in this field by any means, but I'd suggest that the larger wave of coolers isn't totally due to necessity. They look cool, and they hide some of the wiring and shit you need to do around the VRMs (as well as assisting airflow over the VRMs, which run way hotter today than ever).

CPUs today are way more efficient than they were even 5 or 10 years ago, and you can run a tiny noctua in an itx case with modern CPUs just fine. Bigger is better in this case - you just get better heat transfer/reduction with larger heatsinks/fans, but small would be sufficient in most use cases as well, I'd think.

When I started my NAS journey, I decided to use an old AMD FX-8350 that I had laying around, and figured even it's fake 8-core design would be more than sufficient for my purpose. Turns out, it was, but it also made the entire basement 3-4 degrees warmer, which was absolutely insane. I've since conslidated/moved hardware to lower-power newer-gen specs to reduce some of that nonsense.

most amd ryzen chips i've seen past a certain point all require advanced cooling solutions

Which ones are those?

Work buddy just built a 5900x with a noctua slim series in an itx case. Works just fine, even on stress tests.

Definitely runs hotter than a full-tower with a WC or big air cooler, but yeah, works fine. No throttling.

 

[LarryFisherman]

The real benefits of large coolers beyond the obvious are to keep similar cooling efficiency at lower fan speeds to keep sound down. As I've gotten older I've grown much more sensitive to the annoying fan noise from a PC 2ft from my head.

Yep madden 22 blared the fans but I figured out how to make it stop.

It was past 5600 I think

At this point I'm all researched out. Someone else is going to handle the cooling. Best not to stress myself out over it

i have made my new processor decision largely based on local sales and price drop !!

Anyway in other news I think the Netherlands may be open but I'm not sure

I know Rick Steves went to France a few weeks ago

Sounds like as long as you're vaccinated you can go to Europe. Still there may be some weird variant in Europe!

I was watching Rick on Monday and he was talking about the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam which is pretty good. Places like Haarlem and Rotterdam. I'd love to visit someday plus they are all accessible within one hour of Amsterdam.
