Have you ever wanted to use a fan that's more than three times as loud as the other option while providing the same performance? If you answered in resounding joy, then this project is exactly what you've been looking for. A YouTuber 3D-printed a fan that's actually made up of 15 tiny fans, fit inside the frame of a regular 120mm fan modelled after the Noctua NF-A12x25.

Taiwan imports almost all of its energy and requires large amounts of LNG to sustain its electrical grid. That grid is then used by local chipmakers - like TSMC who is responsible for making most of the world's high-end chips. Fabrication for these chips requires helium, which Taiwan also imports and right now, the Iran-U.S. conflict has made it difficult to acquire both.

A single-fan RTX 4070 Ti Super had been in the works at Zephyr, a Chinese vendor, for a while, and it was close to completion, with even thermal testing data publicly released. Unfortunately, the memory crisis has gotten to Zephyr as well, and it has cancelled the project, choosing to instead develop an RTX 4070 Super instead.

An RTX 5070 Ti with user-applied liquid metal died because the TIM leaked out everywhere and shorted multiple components, eventually killing the core as well. Despite being part of a "repair" video, there's nothing really here to fix, as most of the important ICs would need to be replaced or at least reballed.
