Premium all-in-one cooling.
They are selling os compared to the others.. more loud than the others, and does not cool as well..
Am interesting in cooling, not additional gadgets.
Asus: "Buy a 3.5in display for your CPU for £300 and we'll throw in an AIO cooler"
Pass
The screen looks wonderful and I bet you could get superior performance from swapping the fans out...
But the price alone can jog right on.
For that money, you could get an entire custom loop from EKWB, I think. Certainly a complete custom CPU loop from Aquacomputer, which would include RGB and a little screen on the CPU cooler.
With my preference for cases with solid sides and no window, I think my reaction to the notion of a screen on the cooler is probably predictable. I don't plan on paying the few quid extra for RGB on my memory, never mind a flipping screen in the cooler.
What I did think was hilarious was the LTT build challenge where they included dummy memory modules, that had the RGB but no actual memory, and cost about 70% of the cost of the actual RGB modules. I mean, what???
If people are stupid enough to do that, then a screen isn't that big an ask, I guess. Maybe, just maybe, if you're forever playing with settings, it might be useful, but I won't be.
Should I ask - what's the heat output of the screen, how much is conducted back into the fluid and does this have a detrimental effect on cooling performance?
Additionally, can I hack this screen and ensure someone's garish RGB adorned rig is playing a certain music video? A metasploit module incoming, I hope.
Never gonna give you up....
Well, my Aquacomputer stuff has LCD screens (albeing monochrome, rather than full on like this, and there's absolutely naff-all heat output. Plus the cooling components themselves will be separated and insulated from such things, so even less than naff-all ultimately.Quote:
