A specialized computational fluid dynamics program. And nominally CFD is great to scale across many sockets/systems but it seems this particular program wasn’t written to be able to do that.

It’s the nature of the ad-supported internet. Thank you for the spectacular content!

I’ve enjoyed Phoronix for a long time but holy shit the ads made this article unusable on my phone.

Five banner ads, two copies of the same video taking up the bottom of the screen, and some sort of 200px border growing and eating the article as I scrolled down. All at the same time.

Wtf?

And it’s so painful for me since my workload is completely memory bandwidth bound but does not scale across multiple sockets, much less multiple nodes.

96 cores per socket? 😎

12 channels of ram per socket? 🤩

DDR5-4800? 🫠

Yeah but then you receive a JBL product lol

Wut? QD-OLED typically covers a much larger colour space than regular WOLED regardless of ambient light. It’s not just brightness. The difference is striking in person at least to my eyes.

Just watch out for the cheaper Samsung models, they don’t have Dolby Vision for some absolutely inane reason

Bits are bits homie and lossless streaming is everywhere now

You’re 100% right, it’s a shit design. Ultimate power rejection to ambient is governed by surface area in contact with fluid… And this design doesn’t have much surface area.

If I were doing this sink, it would be forged aluminum pin fins like from alphanovatech. Good for any direction of forced convection, or any orientation under natural convection.

No need for heat pipes in this application. Maybe just one thru the base of the sink depending on the heat flux density of the controller. But I doubt it.
