  1. relating the above article/graphs, the "mentions in media" graph has doubled overnight from I billion to 2 billion !!!!!!!!!!! thought I would share part of an article I found particularly interesting, while the world whips itself into a frenzy, this writer is very down to earth "The global panic surrounding the coronavirus outbreak is breathtaking in its overreaction. Two nations quarantined. Major events cancelled in areas where there is no coronavirus! Airlines going bankrupt. Hotels vacated. Borders locked down. Stock markets plummeting. (Warren Buffett says it’s time to invest!) One would think it is the bubonic plague, but it isn’t. COVID-19, the virus at the heart of the global panic, is a coronavirus, which is a flu virus. COVID-19 is the flu. It kills some people, mostly elderly over 70 in poor health , but it is not particularly deadly in the broad scheme of things. The vast majority of people who contract it have flu symptoms of varying degrees and go on with their lives. The death rate is 1-2%. (The death rate on the Diamond Princess was 1%, all over 70 years of age, and in South Korea, where statistics are candid, the fatality rate is 0.6%.) William Schaffner, professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, warns, “There’s a large epidemic of coronavirus anxiety”

  6. I agree did have issues with a previous GPU on water that was painful to troubleshoot with water cooling But I love the low temps I get which justifies the other hassles also love the "look" of a nicely done water cooled system what are your CPU temps like with the NXT Kraken ?
  7. what are the specs?????????????? my 1080 is still pumping I did notice that it has overclocked itself......................... I'm so old now I really cant remember overclocking it manually, maybe I did, maybe I didn't, dunno standard clock is 1633 MHz and boost is 1722 MHz, but seen here running Metro Exodus, boost is 1936 MHz!!!!!! why did you ditch the water cooling?? BTW: nice pussy cat tax
