Can a gaming chair replace all the others for a child? Using the example of Cooler Master Caliber R1

Gaming chairs look so cool that parents have no choice but to fork out or find a scientific excuse why, instead of a beautiful chair with a logo, the child should, like grandparents, sit on a wooden chair. So we'll try to figure out if it's possible to use a gaming chair all the time: for lessons, music lessons, to eat on it and just fool around, riding and spinning. I somehow never thought about the fact that in the world of furniture, too, progress does not stand still, and today major ...

Noctua NH-U12S Redux CPU cooler review: Noctua enters the budget market with coolers

This is the first cooler of the Redux series, to which Noctua transfers some models, making them cheaper for the mass market. It uses a familiar tower structure with 4 heat-conducting tubes, and you can get a second fan for an additional fee. Noctua has a Redux series, which eventually includes coolers and fans that seem to be no longer new, but are still in demand by the market. In fact, these are the same ordinary devices, but with a limited configuration and in a faded gray color, so if ...

Bag test of Noctua NF-F12 and NF-A14 chromax.black.swap fans

We will test with the help of a garbage bag fans that are designed to emphasize the pronounced personality of your computer, especially if it is assembled in a snow-white case. The management of Noctua constantly claims in their interviews that RGB in fans is nonsense, and it is better to spend time developing something really unique in terms of design than to succumb to the general red-blue-green madness. Of course, it sounds beautiful, but Noctua could not ignore the trends in the field of ...

Threadripper vs. EPYC: testing three AMD 32-core processors in server applications

32 cores is where you can still get by with a 1 VMware socket license, and therefore the processor must be the fastest in the world! We will test 6 server applications, including 1C Enterprise, MySQL and NGINX, to choose the best! After the recent decision by VMware to change the licensing policy of Its ESXi hypervisor by accepting a limit of 32 physical cores per 1 processor socket, the 32-core milestone has become the front line where AMD reigns Supreme, and if today you choose a 32-core ...

Comparison of three Noctua coolers for workstations based on AMD EPYC 7000

Due to the gigantic dimensions of the socket, coolers for TR4 / SP3, as a rule, are placed in a separate category and are not compatible with anything else (this does not apply to SVO). We'll compare the top three Noctua remote cooling systems and see how they differ from each other. AMD EPYC processors have a multicrystal layout (so-called chiplets), which makes the CPU bulky in terms of size, and, apparently, the tendency to increase their CPU size will continue in the future. Since the ...

Review of the server cooler Noctua NH D9DX i4 3U

This cooler is designed primarily for workstations and any installations with LGA-2011 v3 Square ILM and Narrow ILM sockets mounted in the same workspace with staff, be it storage systems or terminal servers. With its compact size, it can be absolutely silent, and if needed - for increased efficiency or maximum fault tolerance, it can be equipped with 2 fans. A good server cooler is a rarity, because the main thing for industrial PC builders is a low price, and since the noise level in ...

Review of server cooler Noctua NH-D9 DX-3647 4U for Xeon Scalable

Compact cooler for Intel Xeon Scalable series processors, compatible with both mounting types: Narrow ILM and Square ILM. It has two 92mm Pull-and-Push fans, so if you install it on a 2-CPU motherboard, you get a 4-fan tube. Initially, the Intel LGA-3647 platform was created for cloud computing, where a high density of CPU cores in one processor socket is required, but over time, quite good motherboards for workstations on Xeon Scalable appeared, and this year this processor socket looked ...
