Somethings trying to move a bunch of air

 

Solid state drive computers have been commonplace for several years now and don't use fans, at least not for the drive. They don't sound nearly as loud as older ones do with the big fans that cool it down when it works hard.

My desktop at home is an 11 year old iMac so I know how it is. If I tried using Lightroom or PS on it these days it would probably burst into flames.

Comps at work are all solid state

So uhm, I too have a 98gb download...

 

Yeah between WZ and MW. I had to download like 203GB....

That 1tb Comcast data cap looms

 

You do realize the fans aren't there to cool down the drives right

 

The fuck are they there for

 

You've got integrated graphics, that require cooling. Most just have a heatsink on said motherboard, but they need air passing through to cool them down.

You've also got your power supply.

Last but not least, dedicated cards, such as a graphics card, get hot too and require cooling.

Solid state drives don't have any moving parts to require cooling, and hard disk drives don't burn themselves up exactly even if you're moving tons of data.

 

I ran an open loop on an old pc, and currently a closed loop cooling system.

Both systems had radiators with fans that sit on them to cool them down the way your car/truck would.

Except that, the computer is stationary. That's when you've got static pressures vs airflow that come into play to keep the whole system cool.

 

Speaking of...

Shhh

Let me live in the lie

 

Where have you been

You have a fully assembled airliner yet

 

You mac-users are so funny

 

Ftfy

I've lost faith in Apple

 

It turns out it’s really difficult to build a jetliner with a coffee maker

 

Have you seen my TED talk?

 

Where do you think I got the Stop Being Poor meme

I had to watch it to find the perfect screen grab

 

I thought you were there to support me.

How could you
