OK, theres better. I would like it but..........
Video cards are a thermal problem in and of themselves.
All amplifiers powered on, all channels driven, just short of 1000 watts RMS into 8 Ohm.
Nominal both pair (their ain't no real front and back) 6 Ohm.
Bass, nominal 4 Ohm.
Not loud, just accurate!
At least you can appreciate why a 95 thermal watt CPU was called for.
It is a computer living in a sound world.
No, not THX or Dolby 7.1 but closer to what this might have become.

That poster Aerows Feb 2014 #15

Yeah. I dont see him (the blogger) making any claims about the traceroute other than that they Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #20

Definitely worth keeping a watch on but this guy doesnt know what he is talking about. Egnever Feb 2014 #18
