Did an upgrade on the Nerdqaxe++. Some would say it's overkill. A waste of time, money, and effort to go with a triple wide radiator and six Arctic 120's. And they'd be correct. I still did it, though. Printed my own base and gonna rework the PCB mount, add a side mount for the VR 60mm fan, some grills, who knows what else. My first printer and boy howdy is it getting a workout! 800mhz, and the ASICs never get over 50c. ππ
The printer is the Bambu P1S. I did a bunch of research, and picked it for a niumber of reasons. Being brand new, to me this thing is amazing. I've got some CAD/CAM with sheet metal and plasma, so the learning curve isn't as painful. The miner? I happened across this by chance. Once again being brand new, I took a chance. I think I got lucky because by the numbers it appears to be doing well. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed. π
3D printer is set up and humming. I should have done this years ago. Ah well, now that I'm disabled and have little else to do with my time is as good an excuse as any, I suppose. Already a stack of projects in the hopper. Sky's the limit, and it's a big ass sky.

I spent a long time searching for the AXP100 C65, a thing of impossibility. But now I can combine the old with the new, such as the #NerdQX, and test it. The NerdQX is already a design and performance icon in 2025, so how can the original be improved upon?
The original NerdQX comes with an AXP120 and a 120 mm Be Quiet fan. The AXP100 C65 is slightly smaller, as the name suggests. It comes with a very unusual 100 mm fan, which is not only loud but also doesn't work very well. The AXP100 C65 is slightly narrower than the AXP120 and therefore offers significantly less cooling surface. However, it is made entirely of solid copper. So it's actually an interesting question which cooler delivers better performance.
Gon' find me some sats. OC'd to 6.5+T @800Mhz, 1.2v Core, VR - 62c, ASIC - 53.6c, two Arctic 120mm's, an 80mm alongside VR w/small copper sinks on other toasty bits. All those PC build/mod days are flooding back. NerdQaxe++ v6.1 Hydro FTW!
@JohnnyFSE What the hell? Society as a whole is in a serious doom spiral. If they refuse to even pass on knowledge of the basics, can you really even call them parents?
@JohnnyFSE All of the unintended consequences are going to be wild to watch as they unfold. Thankfully I'll likely be dead before I have to even think about getting rid of the lifted '01 Tahoe.
@JohnnyFSE It's wild to think how far we have fallen as we mark these 250 years. I'd wager that if we could honestly reassess, we have failed at keeping the Republic across a vast assortment of metrics.
@GovTimWalz Suuure, okay there, r3tard. You d1pshits only got on the bandwagon cuz the Feds forced your hand. Dragged along, kicking and screaming, upset about losing those tasty kickbacks from all those inbred pirates your state is so cozy with.
@RepJeffries Fuck all the way off. Find a place to fuck off to. Once you get there, find another place past that, and then fuck off to that place. Faqqot. π
@FBIDirectorKash@TheJusticeDept Yeah, preach more when you do the same to the crowd that sends these poor bastards off to risk life and limb. He dindu nuffin that they don't. π
