No, I don't have useless LEDs in my computer. My gaming rig is actually in a flat black case that blends in with the furniture.
Except my employer shipped me a dev box with a big polycarbonate window and an unnecessarily beefy GPU with RGB LEDs that dance by default. 🤦
I wonder if anyone has studied the rate of cosmic ray-induced bit flips in a PC with a side window case vs. an all metal one.
It's an interesting question, but realistically inconsequential.
Do you mean that you think bit flips are inconsequential, or that the rate of bit flips is inconsequential?
The rate for your home PC is inconsequential, and the difference between a thin sheet of metal and lexan would have an inconsequential impact.
But flips are not inherently inconsequential. Coincidentally, a lot of my current work involves making sure we are not adversely affected by cosmic bit flips in safety-critical hardware.
The rate for your home PC is inconsequential,
Please don't make assumptions about my data integrity needs.
But thanks for clarifying what you meant.
If you have real data integrity needs, you shouldn't be relying on off-the-shelf home PC parts. There's real hardware and software for such applications.
Your basement is safe enough from cosmic rays for your personal needs.
Where's your ECC?
If it's actually controllable, and not just hardwired on, openrgb is your friend.
If I already don't give a shit, why would I bother?
Because it seems like you disliked them and "off" is one of the controllable options?
But I guess you are at a so advanced level of not giving a shit that you don't even care that they dance around.Not only is the box under my desk with the window facing the wall, you are correct, I wouldn't give a shit if it weren't. I was simply noting the irony of my "professional" equipment being the most frivolous.
