@ems89038 ай бұрын
@fleischpflanzerlmitsenf LED/RGB lighting is certainly an aesthetic choice that a lot of people add to at least a few parts to their PC setup, but water cooling can genuinely be useful in some cases. With the RTX 3000 and 4000 series being some of the most recently released and powerful GPUs commercially available, water cooling is gradually becoming more favorable over traditional air/fan cooling because it's more efficient overall and will keep all the components in your PC cool. Obviously water cooling isn't for everyone because you can still run one of the older RTX GPUs (like the 2080) at a completely comfortable temperature under fan cooling, but water cooling is gradually gaining more and more viability.

That is my point. An enthusiast will always find a way to justify things. It DOES make a difference how well you distribute the espresso in the puk. Even I can taste it when I have channeling. Aside I think this guy who created these videos is a genius. He buys these several ten thousand $ in coffee equipment and we pay for it by engaging on his channel. So he gets a lot back to finance his hobby.

This question that you posited reminds me of the reason why costume collectors go for hundreds of dollars-worth of latex and props. You can get just as much bang for your buck as dressing up with a Trick or Treat Studios Michael Myers mask. But mask collectors and people who get these things as part of their hobby? They want more than just "bang for the buck". They want a piece of artistry or something that's immensely satisfying to have in a collection. The issue begins when people try to make it off as though that their hyperexpensive pieces are better than another's. Same goes for hobby coffeebrewers who get the moonraker and things like that.
