When it comes to the raymarched nebula, are they primarily calculated by the CPU or GPU? I am trying to work out a bottleneck. When moving near them my fps drops to about 3-7 fps at 1440p but once I actually stop traveling, the fps when panning the nebula in view is fine, up around 100 fps, its only...

Odd?  I can open the link from my post and download them.

All of them should be there.

btw the rest of our photos are here. https://deepnighttech.com.au/image/Grampians/ All the raw and jpeg. I only really processed the Orion ones but there is others of the Milkyway and Magellanic clouds. You get a sense of how dark it was given the shadows of the clouds and trees just look black. Wo...

They can get warm not normally hot.  Anywhere around 50-70c I would expect in the worst case with no air flow.   I wouldn't even worry about it as the caps aren't really making heat themselves but rather getting heated indirectly from the VRM and CPU nearby.   Only the really cheap nasty boards with...

5k vs 10k is the amount of hours they are rated for at 105ºc  The letters would be the type of cap, construction/material I am not sure what they are though.

yeah the as far as I found not many of the main brand/model boards use T topology, most seem to be daisy chain. This limit applies to all ryzen, its a board thing rather than the CPU itself though 2nd and 3rd gen can get higher speeds due to the better IMC.  I think the reason T is not used much is ...

We reach dew point in winter. everything gets condensation on it.  we only get about 20% humidity during summer, winter it sits at 80-100% according to the hydrometer.

I would love 32gb, but the problem is the way the memory ranks work and the topology of every AM4 board. becasue the boards use daisy chain topology the memory stability is greatly reduced when using 4 dimms or dual rank modules.  currently the biggest single rank module in these speed modules is 8G...

Not here it doesn't, too much moisture during winter where I live so the view is always washed out and transmits light pollution worse.

My skies are clearest in summer when the humidity is much lower. We have very dry summers and wet winters here in the southern end of Australia.

yeah I may consider it. My experience mainly comes from my car modding/restro hobby. I have quite a bit of experience with cooling systems, I even designed and had custom radiators manufactured for my cars becasue the ones on the market were poor quality and were thinner than the original factory un...

I have only changed my coolant 3 times since 2004 and the last time was in 2012 or so. I still currently run a Zalman reserator 1, an external passive res/heatsink/pump combo.  I have replaced the pump once and changed GPU blocks with upgrades but still use the original AMD CPU block as AMD have had...

Not enough exposure time for this one. Only 9 min total.  The way the camera was mounted didn't allow to mount the counter weight and with the 600mm lens it struggled to move so the exposures were limited to 2 min each. Had clouds come over too and so I rejected 2/3 of the pics.  Anyway I got somewh...

just stock air cooled will be fine, AMD coolers are actually quite good and more than adequate. I plan to water cool though as I like the cooler temps and low noise that water cooling can offer.  I have been water cooling since 04 and for me its hard to go back to air cooling. yeah 12 core will be m...
