--- Quote from: cy384 on October 04, 2024, 08:35:16 am ---If anyone is desparate for heatsinks, I understand power8 heatsinks are physically compatible.  There are usually some on ebay in various heights.  Some part numbers may be 00RR234, 00RR232, 00E8918, 01KL499.  I think the 3u with fan was only used by Raptor, so there probably aren't many out there.  3D printing a fan shroud is probably not too hard.

Some news would be nice, but I'll admit I'm feeling a little pessimistic.

That is news people can use, and it should probably go onto the wiki. I'm with vikings.thum - I love my Blackbird, but the lack of news while prices on existing products rise and components as foundational as 3U heatsinks are delisted feels a smidge like watching the water rise during a bad storm.

MPC7500:
Same. But I prefer that something is only announced when it is more or less immediately available. But what's definitely bad is that we haven't heard anything from RaptorCS since April. Apart from new hardware.

It seems SoSi's last LinkedIn post was only three months ago so I don't quite have alarm bells ringing just yet, but it would be nice to at least get like a photo of a prototype board or screenshot or something. We know they're working on it and they've released more information than that like it's compatible with at least one major heatsink format (I'm guessing SF2).

Maintaining a joyful anticipation for Talos III/Blackbird II/S1 systems with no news whatsoever for more than 11 months (with the announced release date ending in less than two months) is probably not something people are going to do.

Not even on their Txitter? I haven't been able to check ever since the API got closed off for frontends like nitter.

lepidotos:
Nope, that seems to be where the April date comes from, though they did retweet something posted in May.
