In this week's Tech News update, NVIDIA announced Blackwell AI GPUs at GTC, AMD announced FSR 3.1 and Strix Point APUs, and Intel needed a bit more time to get their Ohio fab up and running... a couple years more. Oh and Thermalright has a $60 AIO CPU cooler. Enjoy!

TY for watching my video everyone!
Correction: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (for Windows) has been out since last year, the FSR 3.1 support is coming in an update.
Thanks to those who pointed that out in the comments 👍
and my title isn't clickbait it's self-referential satire

Last video I watched was on Water Cooling is Dead...

I used to be all about air coolers, but these days, you can get a like really decent AIO for not much more money, and while temps aren't substantially different, the AIOs _are_ quieter.

[malccy]

Glad to see Thermalright shaking-up up the AIO market as they did with air coolers. Go Thermalright!

[KratosAurionPlays]

Never going to stop using air cooling.

[LArmorS]

That Tux popping up just as Paul was "welcoming" Hackintosh users back to Windows was brilliant. I know it's not mainstream, but there are a lot of people using Linux now instead of windows. Me included.

[Tunahater]

Having gone through 3 AIOs, 2 from Corsaire and 1 from NZXT, air cooling will never die as long as pumps fail in 1-2 years on the reg.

[michealmeyers]

Could you make next headline: liquid cooling is dead again. That would be hilarious.😁

[MrGabrielgn]

Just swapped my watercooler for very small and silent air cooler that costed me 1/5 of the price and consumes 1/6 of the energy. CPU temperature is the same and the noise is much much lower.

[WayStedYou]

Ratchet and clank is already out.
Its just an update

[PerpetuallyTiredMusician]

Its my b-day, I have coffee, family still asleep and now Paul with the tech news. Good start on the personal new year.

Peace

[wehavetogoback]

You'll drag my air cooling away from my cold dead fingers.

[Kazzman]

The Linux penguin creep up killed me 😂

[steen]

Every single aio I’ve used has failed. Either gunk or pump failure, then complete shutdown until I was silly enough to either rma and wait weeks, or run to the store and buy another failure point.

Ever since I went back to air, I’ve had zero issues.

Never again aio, never again.

[kashem]

I dislike how fans are attached to popular air coolers.

[dc]

I didn't know air cooling was even sick. Rip.

[CoalitionGaming]

Cooler Master did a run for a while of $49.99 240mm AIOs. I built a Xeon X5675 system using it a long time ago. Works grest still! Glad to see the trend return, and with bigger better AIOs!

[Lenticular]

Another great intro. Thanks again Joe and Paul for all you do to bring us the tech news!

[katnerd-Glen]

I live in Arizona where the ambient temperature can get up to 117F. I've been considering liquid cooling simply because it might be more effective when AC is having a difficult time keeping up with the heat here.

[JeighNeither]

I'm an audio engineer/musician, so gaming PCs are perfect for audio production after you crank up the RAM, & I use both my PCs as dual purpose w/the 4080 also doing visual creation/editing work as well. I have no choice but to go with water-cooling since it's always the most quiet option.
