That would only work if I’m the only one using my hosted stuff, but can’t really expect non tech ppl to deal with stuff like that.
They already struggle with the little 2fa they have to use. Introducing yet another system is too much to ask.
My concerns were more about the airflow path and less about actually interchangeable coolers, although those are a thing.
Like it just feels wrong to blast the air into a solid PCB… That’s kind of solved with flow through designs, but a tower style cooler would probably be less noisy.
Still feels like I’m doing too little, but kinda hate 2fa.
And I kinda don’t want to know if complex passwords and low retries before an account gets locked out are enough.
Only if you care about security, which you should ofc.
I do like the modularity of discrete GPUs though.
But a cooling setup similar to CPUs would’ve been better for airflow.
Tbh, the whole card format feels very legacy, even for my Vega 56 “dual slot” card, and that thing “only” consumes ~230W.
If ppl back then could’ve foreseen what obscenely power hungry parts would be shoehorned into the expansion card format, they probably would’ve chosen a different approach for GPUs specifically.
What does my mouth taste like?
