Khaffit XCOM:EW is the expansion version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOm Enemy Within in full name. It also isn’t a bad port, it isn’t missing anything that a fully bought version of XCOM 1 on PC has. Yes it can’t do mods, but that would be the nature of it on mobile. However when I want to do a quick tactical mission or play some on the go when not near my laptop or desktop, I can play the mobile version. Yes the graphics don’t look great but that isn’t the point of XCOM as a game. Also the further my point to the main comment, Mini Metro, and Plague Inc. are also on mobile, Mini Metro being an excellent simple puzzle game, well mostly simple anyway, and Plague Inc. is the same as the PC version even, fully, no graphical changes.

[@ilikepie1974]

I'm probably late but, I own a red magic 3. Quick* review: I bought the phone because of its huge battery, it delivers in that category. Camera has a great sensor but it's over sharpened to heck in software. 90hz screen is nice, gets fairly dark on the low end, doesn't get terribly bright though. Dual speakers are nice, and having an audio jack is very nice. USB C is nice, I'll never go back to micro B, and USB OTG is fun to play with, and useful at times due to lack of an SD card slot. Dual SIM is nice. It's good at playing pubg mobile, and really nice for Pokemon go (see battery). According to my girlfriend, the only person I really call, it sucks at being a cell phone. Screen protectors and cases are easy to find for the phone, and even without them the phone is relatively durable (don't drop it on your face it's heavy) RGB lights on the back are stupid but fun, the side triggers are actually nice, but my right trigger acts up from time to time. *I guess it wasn't that quick.

Linus, those 5V TEC's love power, I have played around with a few of them myself, and my findings are that they draw around 3A on startup, but as they reach their 'thermoequilibrium of operation', they are drawing around 2.2-2.8A from a 5V power source; your bottleneck is probably either A: that your power bank can only supply 1-2A of current, or B: that the terrible implementation of the micro-USB is limiting current to around 2A. if they had used a type-c USB, and specified that you utilize a power source capable of sustained 3A, than this product would almost definitely perform much better.

Yeah, I wish phones had magnetic backsides and there were passive heatsinks with/without watercooling that you could easily clip on that would cover a larger area. Problem is all phones has different size so it would be great if one could adjust the heatsink size flexibly in some way (maybe cut-able with scissor like flexible insoles for shoes. Could have pre-made cutting marks). and if we are going to hold it in our hands the heatsinks needs a plastic ergonomic cover to prevent cutting or burning yourself on the heatsink. I think we will see interesting solutions in the future.

[@nickydexgg4579]

I'm surprised at these results. I've seen other benchmarks that suggest that the fan in the Red Dragon 3s doesn't provide enough cooling effect to boost performance. Your test seemed to show otherwise. BTW, I believe your can use the software to turn the fan off, which could allow you to run the same test, but the fan off, and compare the results.

They were great chips. I remember when they surpassed pentium 3s. With a Radeon 9800pro it was an awesome system at the time.

[@jazbronoh5873]

I think the reason why the magic phone suprisingly hotter than the note 10 is because the fan is mounted inside the phone and encased by metal back (Which in general is thermal conductor). But with the heat trapped inside is then generated by the fan which flows directly into other thermal conductive mechanisms that are commonly mounted on the front glass panel. Given there are tiniest holes as vents and the thick metal back will more likely sucking the air in the beginning and the gap between. Leaves the front panel warmth as opposed to metal back ( even though glass are insulators and poor thermal conductors) it would act like an electric stove.

[@TheCoomer]

As the Samsung is waterproof, would placing it onto Ice every now and then when it get really hot, would this work?

[@resanpyrice9420]

The potential sudden temperature could cause damage. But otherwise should be fine, probably

[@Ancyker]

He admitted in another video they rename the videos after a while sometimes to see if it increases click through ratios or something.

[@SandyRiverBlue]

I'm curious if just gluing a CPU heatsink to the back of your device might not work just as well. I mean they come in all shapes and sizes, you can sand down the rough edges of the sink and they can probably be cooled with ambient air since they wouldn't be in a closed environment. And if you wanted to you could add a fan- I guess. They make tablet and cellphone grips that look like this already so all you would really be doing is changing out the material with a better heat conductor.

[@TheNiteNinja19]

"This ugly phone cooler ACTUALLY WORKS!" Funny that the Red Magic 3 was in my Gmail ads right above the notification email for this video.

[@potatogamer0104]

I wonder if this matters, I thought that most recent Samsung galaxy phones have a glass back cover. So will that be a factor that the back from the galaxy dispatches heat worse than to have a metal cover ?

[@car_tar3882]

i have a red magic 3 and i can confirm it's a really nice phone once you get past the kinda shit software it runs on.

[@Skinnyluigi_]

Don't do it. They don't send out software updates at all. No HDMI to USB C and no water resistance of any kind. The bottom speaker is louder than the top, and the HDR is buggy. Camera is also not optimized either. I wouldn't take the chance. This is coming from a red magic 3 user.

[@zedekiah04]

@@Skinnyluigi_ i really don't mind those downfalls, yeah more frequent updates would definitely be really nice, but coming from an lg v20, I'm used to this shit lmao. we'll get updates eventually. just gotta be patient. yeah the bottom speaker is louder than the top, but like hey it still works and honestly it sounds pretty not bad. yeah the hdr is wack but i mean it never really affected me that much either. camera works most of the time, but sometimes i need to restart my phone to get it working properly. as i said before, over time you just adjust to it and it ends up being a really solid phone.

Why? Just get a beefy battery bank, and run your cooler off that instead of off the phone.

[@tjmike100]

You forgot that the red magic has two grills on the side. You're laying it on one of the sites that has a vent.

[@nialltracey2599]

Isn't that fan back-to-front? I thought the principle with ventilation fans was always to blow outwards, creating a void that in turn draws fresh air into the enclosure through the passive vents. Trying to blow air into an enclosed space meets resistance from the air that's already there. And not even just an enclosed space, either. Consider your average desk fan, pedestal fan or handheld battery fan. It draws as much air from behind it as it blows out in front of it... and yet it feels like there's more movement in front than behind. The rear side of the fan achieves smooth airflow as dropping the pressure doesn't create friction. Increasing pressure does, as the fast-moving air from the fan gets pushed against the slow-moving air already in the space. When you have a fan pointing into an enclosed space, the problem of pressure and resistance gets worse, as the restricted outflow increases the pressure, further reducing the airflow and compromising the cooling efficiency. This is a principle that as a PC builder you probably apply automatically, cos that's just the way it's done, but there's an increasing trend for cheap coolers like this one to have been manufactured without consulting anyone who understands cooling design, and that always leads to applying the common misunderstanding that fans are there to blow *on* things, rather than move air.

[@andielonline6009]

Is there tech for the Razer Phone 2? I feel it runs with amazing cooling with its factory settings and cooler tubes. Any thoughts? Also looking for more 120 hx games. its a wonderful piece of machinery for me. Learning android after being in the cult of Apple for so long has me confused on simple tasks. I run a Razer Blade Pro as my game rig (haven;t built a desktop yet but hope to soon. If you ever build the compensator with 2 Qusdro 8000s for rendering animations and graphic design,, I would gladly take it. I can't walk due to a car crash that left me a paraplegic, so I have learned to use my hands to create and repair things I have in my mind. I am also a writer who animates his own stories using different programs, Mainly Ps, Gimp, or Blender. Just throwing out there that if you ever think you need a new compensator, or just want to change someone life100% towards hsi dreams. I'd take it and put it to work on my series.

Building a thermal converter into a phone would make it bulky as hell, and it'd be very inefficient since the amount of heat actually produced won't be enough to even make a good difference.
