i was planning to downsize my ssds anyway
rn i have to use a m.2 e key adapter to plug an ssd into the wifi m.2 slot

xD
great workaround really 
If you don't have an Intel AX200 to stuff the slot with, why not
Is it also held in place with zipties
it's held in place by a fan that goes there and prevents it from falling out
NZXT would be proud of you
ooooh, fancy
Heck even gigabyte
it's limited to x1 speed tho which is unfortunate
but it's qlc so it wasn't gonna reach even x2 speeds anyway

Not sure if you can post a twitch link
Because it may be seen as advertisement
@prisma charm is this against the rules?
The channel?
I mean LinusTechTips is a well known figure streaming something important.
Its a link to an informational video in a relevant channel, no?
That's why I wasn't sure
They are speaking about nature of anti cheats, linux anti cheats, possibility of person IDing for games.
I wonder how things apart from just gameplay will work with the more intrusive anti-cheats
Can't watch now, have they said anything about BattlEye only being able to read filenames in the WiNE folders or such?
Or EAC's ability/inability to see processes form other users?
They are not talking about specifics but different creative models of anticheats that can be used.
Screenscanners (AI based), person IDing, etc
ah
I'm hoping the general Linux community gets as toxic as possible about the intrusive parts of BattlEye, the growing number of anti-cheats that read browser history and such, anything with equivalent permissions to NT AUTHORITY, and the likes
Hopefully that stuff is sandboxed/containerized to death and Maplestory2/Genshin/Valorant sort of anticheats don't have the power to completely wipe your OS, while still beingplayable
So they are saying, they won't mind it if it's on a gaming device like SteamDeck. Luke even goes as far as I really have nothing private on my pc so I'm not sure, but I'm so tempted to give it up.
grrrr Luke using the absolute worst counterargument to that as possible
They should make SteamOS the standard linux gaming version (anti cheat included)
Doing so will solve lots of problems. That NT authority level access won't ever be a problem.
I like the Idea, and yes I would buy one to use as a Linux laptop
but if it dropped to something like $100, sure
It's not bad Cookie
If socketed laptop CPUs made a return, and those small, replaceable GPUs came back, I might be all over it
1250 for these
plus aluminum body. not bad at all.
then you need to put a SN550 in it (they don't offer one) it adds up to 1200-1250
Not compared to other brand new laptops, just because we've come to accept paying over $1000 for a slightly above average display, no GPU, and bad storage
Its still too hard to justify imo
You can put anything you want in the storage. that's the point.
Like I would put SN550 you can put anything else you want.
All the moving and replaceable USB ports and such are more failure points, and you can get a used Thinkpad with 3 storage slots, a replaceable display, 9 cell battery, and a 20-30% multicore performance drop for $150
That being said, you can buy this one for 900$ https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-travelmate-p4-p414-51-14-laptop-intel-core-i5-8-gb-memory-256-gb-ssd-slate-blue/6452346.p?skuId=6452346
Don't get me wrong, its a super cool concept
but, it, and almost all current laptops, are just abysmal price-to-performance wise
yeah I know, it's like a laptop people buy to support a cause. failure point we'll have to see.
I mean, even that $900 one is just ridiculous
You're seriously going to offer someone 8gb of ram and 180gb of usable storage for the price of 4 to 5 PCs that do the same email checking and youtubing?
Mass produced brands will wins out above any indie electronic brands, cookie.
Thats how EoS works.
Well yeah, I get that, but the Acer, a mass produced option, sucks too. Things shouldn't be this way.
well easiest repaired laptop is a concept that's never been there before.
some desktop tinker type people will be into that for sure.
The best Indie v Mass Market imo is not in laptop honestly. Its in Sim Racing.
would you buy one?
Honestly, yeah.
I never buy laptops for what it is i buy it for status symbol, showing what i stand for.
Because we all know that PC will trample over in its performance improvement
buying for what you stand for
I like this Alienware laptop. the bios is soo nice it's unbelievable.
If I was in US I would have probably bought legion.
1920USD (after 15% tax that is) for M15R6 is a bit overpriced 
Well I did that last time and I ended up with A515-51G
15w hard CPU lock you can't do anything about, and horrible thermals.
$1000, owie
Cookie that A515-51G I bought for 850CAD for the total of 1150 I think (with bestbuy warranty and tax)
8250U, MX150, TN display, 8gb of ram, 256gb SSD, and a plastic body, interesting
Yeah that would have been 650USD but not good for gaming at all.
What really is the point of a gaming laptop?
All the OEMs actively fight against giving you a decent gaming experience, why is that?
Well you can still play mine sweeper on it 
Its always a "Oh, we made the GPU throttle at idle, oops" or "Yeah, it can play games, but it isn't portable at all" with many of the OEMs, why?
Acer A515-51G was never a gaming laptop, the equivalent would have been Nitro 5 or Nitro 7 of that year. But still horrible power deliver, and thermal limit.
Well people have budget limits for laptops and they wanna sell more by any means necessary. Like if you want a 650-900$ laptop it's likely for you to get a Nitro 5.
Sorry for bad sentence structure and confuse, wasn't saying anything about the A515-51G's gaming ability, it just seems really overpriced to me. The gaming-focused ones always seem to get some non-gaming thing right and all the gaming things wrong
✅ Gaming name ✅ Discrete graphics card ✅ Last gen or 1 gen older CPU ✅ 8-16GB ram ✅ SSD
This sells a laptop easily, and yeah I'm talking generally.
I think i put it simply last night.
.
.
Good points. But I still think because there is no way of comparing laptops easily on the internet.
Like a 3060/11600H laptop is not the same as another one. Laptops with similar specs aren't the same.
Its far more complicated than just slapping the review bits and bobs in a top of the line test rig.
I wish I had info on profit margins
I mean, even then, knowing their customers
they're still cutting enough corners to cut the prices in half and make profit, it feels
Cookie Dell usually puts price of each part in the invoice
The salesperson telling you what things are worth is worthless though
Dell can put whatever they want in there as long as you buy it, no?
Its not like we can order soldered-on parts as an OEM and verify ourselves
GTAO Discord Computers, lets make it happen.
This is my invoice for example (Canadian $)
@ omar#0047 can we order 1000 Dell G5 with the patron money
yeah 16gb of ram 100% should not be 160 CAD for Dell themselves to order
Idk this is what they gave me.
lines up if that's the price they'd charge you to order it through them, but you can buy SODIMM cheaper yourself on Amazon
and this is what I got
@brave field


😄
Tech companies invented onlyfans, the concept of having to pay a fuck ton of money just to get their attention

Hmm why is my GPU running at x8?
Because most laptop dont even have full 16
failure rates? How could someone get insider info on stuff like that, direct from the person making the decision to go with x8? Who specifically in the manu/design process decides which laptop PCB should offer its GPU a full x16?
well Cookie Dell releases all of those usually
https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/alienware-m15-r6-laptop_users-guide_en-us.pdf <- this is mine for example
and this is service manual -> https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/alienware-m15-r6-laptop_service-manual_en-us.pdf
They choose a motherboard just like we choose one. like mine is HM570 (from Intel), then they make some minor changes to it and make tons of laptops.
Both board makers, and laptop makers have a say in this; then market itself (in addition to former experiences with sales) dictates what to get.
Your ram is cl22??
Yep, and there was no way to know before buying it. It seems like all of this laptop's rams are either x16 or x8 C22 @ 3200MHz or @ 3466 MHz
How is it @jagged lark ? do you like GeForce Now?
Fine apart from the random blurriness and freezing
That's your internet. you can always lower the bitrate in settings.

damn
Can someone help me i think my laptop is broken?
describe how it behaves when u turn it on
The screen went black and i can do nothing not even the power button works
hold down the power button for a few seconds?
should be ok after that hard reset
oooof that gotta hurt
they probably some shit type with little individual chips
we use at least 3200 cl 16 or 3600 cl 18
even laptops
at least it's Samsung
can u tinker with the timings?
no you can however put a xmp ram in if it's compatible and enable xmp.
but I couldn't find one in Dell's ram upgrades category so I have no idea.
what speed you are running now
well i guess that's alright for an intel machine
well i guess that's alright for an intel machine
I mean Ms. Melon it's not that bad let me show you
it just annoys me that machines like that gets mixed up with memory like that
it does not cost them a lot to use better memory
So it's intel's architecture
This board can't support more than 3466 I think, and is made for 11th gen CPUs
This is basically an enhanced HM570 chipset
3200 cl16? 
thats terrible
3400 cl16 is mediocre at best
3200cl16 💋
Wallet says no
4sticks is dumb, unless you have quad channel. and for laptops 3200MHz is ok'ish.

1800clickbait ;p
But new!
do you think this laptop is worth 1000$?
i would never buy an alienware anything
wise
not wise
i guess it's ok for the current condition
I told him he can sell for 900-1100$ (considering battery's kind of done)
NotAnotherPatrick clearly doesn't know anything about laptops.
thats funny
i own a rtx 2060 i7 9th
alienware m17 r2
anything below r3/4 is hot garbage
especially with how long hes had that m15 plus how little of a lifespan alienware gets, 500 bucks is a reasonable price for a secondhand
nobody is going to spend 1k on a piece of crappy hardware that only has its price because of an alien logo when they could easily spend it on a pre-build and a 60 hz 1080p monitor especially during blackfriday
or cyber monday
900-1100$ Alienware R1 is not that bad I would buy if I didn't have a laptop
Why would u need an alienware laptop in the first place
the only reason someone would buy a secondhand alienware laptop is if they dont have the dedicated space for a full fledged desktop
and thats like already minimum
plus they could just get an all brand new asus laptop
not only you don't know much about laptops, you don't know much about people too. 
if ur world is only about secondhands i cant help it but the bare minimum of people wants a semi-usable laptop when they could spend that 1k on a brand new laptop that they could use and do stuff with for those 5 years 
not only u tried to denounce my point but also u dont own a shitty alienware laptop that runs at 100 celcius watching youtube, who the hell wants that
only the most uninformed 5 yr old does that
Have you ever owned Alienware M15 (first gen)?
does anything below r3 have to do with that?
because r2 and r1 share the same problems
How do you know?
because ive gone through forums that is a common problem with an m17 r2 and its the same problems first gen m17 and m15 have
Well good job! internet warrior. like forums teach people everything.
oh now assume im going through 3rd party forums
oh no no no
dell forums
they address the heating
first hand users understand the problems of the first 2 generations of m17 and m15
they have rtx, cool, but they aren't cooled
the only thing they have are two losuy fans that just keeps the gpu at 50~ celcius
while not worrying about the cpu temps at all
here's the cooler you talk shit about
it's better than 95% of all Acer laptop coolers
while doing absolutely nothing
lol childish
see, this is the difference between an alienware fanboy and an actual alienware buyer
alienware are overpriced garbage
that requires multiple generation
to fix simple things
sure, good build quality
doesnt make up for poor performance for what specs it gets

That's a 2080
Ofcourse that cooler can't handle 2080
Was I talking about 2080?!?!
This video is exactly why they don't go higher than 3070 in new series
thats funny
"not putting in a high end component doesnt prove anything about cooler because youre just proving that lower end hardware runs cooler"
-Linus Sebastian, in a FUCKING APRIL FOOLS VIDEO
dude, I was just saying I would buy that second hand if I didn't have a laptop. that's all.
Thats because u idolize alienware
It's not a bad deal for 1000$ and it has no cooling problems as is.

nope you think I am
ew
I've never seen someone get their panties so twisted about Alienware criticism before
Gaming laptops 
Alienware laptops honestly do have some commendable stuff, but they aint no saint.
Idk man it's just a no brainer.
If it's a good option, I would buy doesn't matter what.
alienware are a good option?
alienware doesnt even sell their earlier gen when newer gens come out
That laptop above isn't bad, yeah if I wanted to buy one second hand it would be an option.
plus alienware shit doesnt even last that long at good performance
See these are baseless claims
baseless?
Yep
2
approaching 3
So what to buy for 1000$ ?
lol
remove the problem altogether nice solution
macbook air is fine for a laptop
yeah I don't really wanna comment on these
overpriced but def lasts way longer than 3 years
even the shit u throw at it, it still works
All I know is when I punch in M15 on Google, almost every result has 100°C somewhere in the text 
lmao
the average alienware user
trueeee
.

that's also bullshit Claire
its not
Its not, yes
alienware has seen this trend of good build quality, good parts, but a mesh of all of them causes problems
because alienware designers are a bunch of interns just coming into the market
You need an actual large heat output to stress a cooling solution
every cooler dissipates some amount of heat maximum. they put a hotter gpu in it ofcourse it can't handle that.
that would be overbuilding it @kindred temple (laptops)
that's the definition of overdesigning
lol
def could bake a pie
I'd think they'd want to "overdesign" the cooling system for longevity, no?
Thinkpads, the 2JZ, Microsoft Surface.
you can't game with those can you?
i could
if i want my hands burnt
and i do, just not at the level this laptop is intended to
Oh, and other things:
Logitech steering wheels (literally same durable design for 25 fucking years)
Honda civic
A picture doesn't say anything about how it runs
but the inside is cable managed okay
one stick ram 
this looks like a prebuilt
I've never heard of a gamemax psu
def a prebuilt
1 stick ram
a no big name psu
quickly done cable managment
those front fans looks like aftermarket ml150s
"suck often" is not a good fucking sign.
is a alienware laptop worth it?
Im thinking on buying a gaming laptop so I wont encounter lag. I have a budget of 1K
any recommendations?
yeah that's a prebuilt alright
Do you game solely at home?
ot nessasarly alienware, im looking for good laptop
I do in my freetime, I run a business and my currently laptop is slow.
I want to spend around 1k trying to find a nice quick laptop
Honestly for business laptop itll be better for you to get a good typing laptop
Instead of gaming
I game quite alot tbh.
But u load a gaming laptop with junk like work its basically the same as getting a business laptop
same thing vice versa
u get a business laptop and fill it up with games
both are going to be slow
Bottleneck is just a term
You can play on a laptop with good power delivery, and mediocre everything else.
Every PC has a bottleneck, whether it be a GPU bottleneck, a CPU bottleneck, a RAM bottleneck, or a storage bottleneck.
As far as gaming goes, you generally want to aim for a GPU bottleneck.
Meaning your GPU is utilized fully or almost fully while your CPU is not fully utilized.
so umm
i made a grid sequencer thing
a gradient thing
and noisemap thing
idk i thought it looked cool
i also made a scaled pattern
i question whether anybody in this server uses studio
doubt it tbh
woah, very cool
I use em because N++ sucked
Gamemax power supply.... No
They are bad
No
Then go for it
what substantiate your "no"?
I wonder why people like him ask for our opinion if they know what they're buying?
Damn one of the guys that I was talking to got hacked by the Discord nitro scam 😦

Which gaming pc case with some lights fan is the best?
depends on your budget

or will you get under $100
Just $80

Not found on newegg.com
lian li 215
That's $108
it's 80$ msrp
Looks great
veryyy good airflow and build quality
does anyone use expressvpn?
whats the problem?
it just doesnt connect
so step 1-sort out your firewall 2-change the protocol
it's probably your ISP blocking it for some reason
Go to expressvpn settings, what protocols do you see?
i have no idea
sec
its on automatic
play with that
whats in there?
Express works without any problems but nord connects 1/100 times for me even after trying every protocol i think its just ISP's being a dick
Express has L2TP which is usually unblocked while nord doesn't; you can even connect most modem/routers to this vpn.
do they not support openvpn? 
They do Mr Oleg, but the problem is home modem+routers don't usually support openvpn
L2TP makes life easier
my asus router from almost 10 years ago supports it

well how east we talkin
china?
middle east?
at that point you ask why wouldn't you be using a vpn?
Lots of countries in Asia, Russia, and China
Not just ME
Especially for china, who blocks all mentions of a certain event that happened in 1989.
Like in Russia you can find torrents for everything, you have kick ass internet speeds then you have filtering.
It doesn't make any sense

exactly, of the most toxic players in gta
Unless you say "Tiananmen square massacre (1989)". Then half of them get crashed.

once I tried to block the whole chinese and Russian IP range in my firewall so that I wont get in their session, but the game never connected to any session 
I just use a vpn to a region far from asia

why would you trash your computer? oh well

One reason would be better security, you should realize right now many AMD people are struggling with the new vulnerability that just came out.

I am doing this cumulative update to see if maybe that is something
Lexi what does it say when you use that tool?
There's a program in windows 11 page microsoft
Oh the check for compatibiity?
Let me restart my laptop real quick for this update. Be back in a min
Download it, itll tell u
K im back
let me download that now
Ah
Oh that sucks for me
Now I do feel offended
biggest lmao
7700HQ is good yeah, but they are changing the way OS interacts with CPUs
So if i ever wanted windows 11, I honestly have to get a new laptop
Equivalent of that is 11800H or 11600H which you can buy for 1200-1500$
I'm not sure. https://www.neowin.net/news/windows-11-is-coming-soon---heres-what-to-expect-system-requirements-and-more/
So i have a dell xps laptop
and the new xps 17 can run it
BUT ITS 17 FRICKING INCHES
I thought my 15.6 inch screen size was over the top
I really like 17 inch laptops specially for gaming
So for work I have a 16 inch mac and a 14 inch hp
How could you make a 17 inch laptop
you know what
that cant be the biggest screen on a laptop
I need to know the biggest screen on a laptop
man this win11 sounds so good
don't you hate it when you're doing something and there's an error ear raping your ears.
lol
notification and error sounds are waaaayyy better
Okay so it looks like the largest screensizes that have been made are 17.3 inches
sheesh
I am slightly offended that my laptop do it
Now the real question is
Could my computer....
Time to boot it up and see
BRO
EVEN MY DESKTOP CANT

What is on this one that I cant do it...
Idk you tell me, what does it say?
im downloading that health checker now to see
Oh thank god
its only a different error
Its just the TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled on the PC
I bet its not enabled
but then it says TPM: TPM not detected
dude
this is just a strike out
it tells me to enable TPM to go to windows security -> then device security
but..
But it might not be turned on in the BIOS via the TPM application I opened up. Guess I need to check out the BIOS
yeah check that, also if there's no tpm in there sometimes you can get one and add it to motherboard
okay i am in the bios so time to look
okay i think i found it. It said disabled so I enabled it
AYEEEE
funny my laptop is working better compared to when it was running on win10
it's not bad at all
Is it optimized and compatible with all games on steam and stuff?
Is it going to cause any issues?
so far all of my alienware drivers were installed
discord is fine, steam I'm installing
If my laptop was compatible I would have done it as I dont use it as much or have alot of stuff saved so if it gave any issues with games I wouldnt have to worry too much
Not like I have a crazy amount of data on my computer tho. Majority of the storage is from games
you can just upgrade it if you want. I mean it works ok that way too.
But it clearly runs wayyy better when you do a clean install.
I'm gonna stream come and see community #2
I have to go eat dinner in a few so I cant right now. But maybe later
I just want to mess around with it. my work is talking about upgrading to windows 11
Im like already?
most places wait so long until they do something like that
granted its not like a big difference from 10 to 11 like 7 to 10 was
oh its dumb to update workplace to win11
Apparently my work wants to
at least for 4 months after release
And i dont want to get the tickets for the where this and this
I cant find this
Dont want to get those 😂
I dont think we will do it this year
But i am not enitrely sure to say that confidently 😂
so problem #1 steam crash when I try to restore games
Oof
steam beta fixed it
3060ti for 3070 price is interesting
3060ti MSRP is $400
ah
Also, you make some $200-250 profit reselling the 2080
Not really interested in reselling, just want a GPU that'll handle 1440p so I can finally upgrade my monitor.
That 2080 is tempting
The 3060 ti is more powerful, but they're both going to be good options
I was about to say, it looks pretty nice for a blower replacement
but... blowers are dead, yikes
at least the brown will be facing down 
i dont care about the looks tbh as long as it can actually be called an 'upgrade' comparing to the stock cooler
I care about the looks
I bought a case with a TG panel for a reason 
I need to dust, and get a more attractive cooler

thank you
so far so good. GTA runs fine, I was having some problems restoring games (idk if it was my slow external disk or win11) + some steam crashes
but I can 100% play GTA
Thats good
the worst part is I can't use my Alienware command center app to control fan profiles and apply high performance power settings
Oof
Throttlestop and XTU works fine on alienwares why the fuck would you trust dell
it has direct access to bios Cookie
I first changed my bios power profile to performance, ran command center, it changed the profile to balanced, went back to bios -> balanced
ASUS and Gigabyte's softwares have access to the BIOS too and are completely fine, why is alienware's weird?
Win defender's like why the hell do you access this?
And in Win11 it just doesn't work 😆
Perfect OS
- Windows store library for app updates
What
bruh
that's windows 11

We told him
nice try at least
Don't update @sour marsh drivers work, applications work but might just crash in the middle of nowhere. windows itself looks good but it's not completely stable.
thanks beta tester 
We fucking told uuuuuu
I'm not disappointed. I knew what I was getting into
I mean windows 10 gonna last 3-4 years at least
It's called beta for a reason
probably more
Not even the final release
It will probably need a year after release to be considered stable
4 months
in 4 months even companies will be able to install it
gonna save this comment for jaunary 27th
save it mark my words
it's really good as it as some minor bugs but nothing special. when computer makers start to make drivers and utility software everyone can use it.
Depends on the company. But if you do it well, even if card gets broken you can reassemble it then send it for repairs.
You can also buy a water cooled card
too expensive
I am gonna waterblock mine myself
what card do you have?
RTX 3080 TUF OC
You should be able to water cool it safely with the right parts.
Just take your time and do it carefully.
Windows 10 still is not stable
going to hold off a loooong while on 11
Any big news on Intel's 12th generation stuff?
my laptop is working like normal but in few minutes it will always black screen can someone help it gets annoying
Depends on the company
maybe your graphics driver is corrupted, try updating your gpu drivers to latest versions, or if it is already latest version, reinstall them but before that you need to fully uninstall the current driver using a tool like DDU.
there's more than one reason for this issue though, you gotta check them one by one to find the faulty factor.
If reinstalling/updating drivers didn't work, I'd go on and do a fresh install of windows.
man
if after that again black screen happens, then you should stop seeking the issue on software side and troubleshoot the hardware side
i kinda envy people who can switch phones and reinstall their windows(es) just like that
it takes me months of prep to do it
I'm hitting 60 degrees celsius on idle load


should I switch cases
sounds like a thermal paste issue
then you didn't do it properly
I followed a guide and did the exact same for the same cpu and cooler
the case itself is pretty hot
could also be the environment, if ur gpu is also working hot on idle
months of prep?!
how come?
anyone know how much the rtx 3080 was when it first came out
I think 700 or 800
why would u water cool that? it's temps are already excellent!
also good morning
morning
Like I said, Not today, but in the future when the card won't be As good (all electrical equipment gets worse overtime)
but not the cooler
worst case is the fan which you can easily replace
and as far as I know you already have an AIO
it's why i spent soooo much time finding a case that can fit the AIO on top
my temperatures are WAAAAY better with this case
you case was ?
fractual meshify s2
and I actually only need 12mm more room
someone suggested I mod my case in a way to get more space on top
your aio is 240?
yeah
or 280
280 I mean
oh that explains it
but it's the thickness that is annoying it
what the fuck kind of ram do you have that hits the aio in an s2
not really... with a 240 u can push it far away just like in my cas e
i have a very tall ram
fk mouse, i uses trackpad
reminds me of my current tower cooler in my current case
but did yoy put the ram After the AIO?
close call
ram before
can u mount a fan on the PSU shroud?
look at my pic
i have a fan there just to give the GPU fresh air and force air to go up
what if you drill holes for the screws and then use some m4 nuts and bolts to elevate the fan from the shroud
sounds ghetto but i think it could work
nothing is ghetto made when it comes to electrician work



I see some super tiny screws
arctic fans right?
that's what you said works for case fans
you're an engineer, nothing should stop you 
electrician and engineer are 2 different jobs
....
anyone know how to get gta for free 🙃
@sour marsh do you have the same case as me? 🤨
depends what you have
Fractal Design Vision S2
you have the vision
Yes
I have the meshify
I assume this is yours?
and then here is my ugly mesh
oh wow this is the meshify 2 XL
it actually has more space on top
Yes :)
Damn
Yeah same
Not changing cases now tho
Fractal cases do be sexy
And great build quality
Also hella heavy
my fractal r4 is kinda heavy with all hdd bays occupied ngl
Yes
uwu
how much ram is that
today or past?
pictures arent loading
today
32gb
that's a lot of ram
depending on who you ask
I like it
it was also much cheaper than getting 8x4 sticks
how would the be less scary on the floor?
they don't take as much fall impact
unless your floor is made of tiles, it will damage the floor as well
there is no difference, unless you bought a REALLY cheap desk that would not survive you slamming it
I mean placing the case on ground is also better temperature wise, not that much but still
but also x2 dust
dust vs temperature
my desk is right near a window, so opening that window helps the air
melting dust with my overclocked rx580 like a true boss
also less workspace noise
unless u use headphones all the time
these days like my mic, did you hear my pc through it?
if not, that's the reason Idk as much
no i didn't hear any noise, probably filtered by mic noise suppression
unless you are some sort of sound enthusiastic person who screams at any slight dB
it shouldn't be too much issue
yea
I wonder if you can just buy a great case without top fans/mesh then put a good CPU fan in and call it a day.
yes, but double kits these days doesnt even tell u if its double stacked or single stacked
Thats why going for 4 kits are much better
Would be the same price as liquid cooler + cheaper case
because its a guaranteed double stack
20 billion noctua fans

"Why are my noctua fans so loud?"
huh
did I accidentally call you out
Man this win11 works better than expected
I'm in love, I can even use my 2 year old win10pro license in it
In 1 week it will be released apparently:
https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/08/31/windows-11-available-on-october-5/
I wonder if wallpaper engine works on it
I fine with my win 10 for now, I wont upgrade next week
I still don't see anything good about it
probably not upgrading till win10's end of support 
Looks like very, very little has changed from the original prerelease ISO, and if that's the case... there's no positives to upgrading from 10 to 11
Only negatives, in being personally identifiable via unique key in TPM, higher demands for graphics hardware, and the nightmare that is forced secure boot
though, the sounds effects are nice. Ripped those from the ISO
imo, with win11 MS is just trying to pierce its claws even further into individuals everyday routines/info/data, at least by the sounds of it.
I'm not saying there is nothing else added to this build, it definitely has some improvements, visually, kernel etc... but they also trying to gain more info on their users.
Probably not gonna go to win 11 until it becomes more stable
or some significant progress of win 11 over win 10
in terms of gaming
or performance in general
gta 6
Ripped those from the ISO
can u send the sound scheme file
Probably not going to get better performance
Even if the facelift is cool I’m still sticking with ltsc until it becomes eol
Not sure if the sound has changed from the leaked iso, but I’ve got it downloaded; at work though 
@fervent granite how can i use ltsc for free? 
And to activate it all you need is the mas activation script
Is there any easy way to deal with two folders, in the exact same location, with the exact same name, in Windows?
These three folders are actually 6 folders, and take up double the space they should, but Windows won't display the copies that are identically named no matter what display options I set
how did u get them to be in the same folder with the same name in the first place
I used Windows' drag and drop copying multiple times
I was hoping it would just have the normal "overwrite these files?" dialog but it did not, somehow
you could use an extra invisible character in the other similar folder's name
but the length of the characters can not be the same
How would I do that?
Right click -> rename doesn't make the other folders appear when renaming one
Thats weird
no judge though
I just don't care as much as I am used to construction sounds in my daily life
so my ears are worse by default
I keep the computer on even while sleeping and it's too damn quiet in my area
Even hard drive spinning noise triggers me
wait ,are you trying to have 2 folders with same name in same directory? am i getting it right?
I'm trying to un-have two folders with the same name in the same directory
even the PS4's supposed jet engine didn't phase me
yes it was loud, but only sometimes for me
I don't remember caring about noise in new york because of the street noise
oh so i got it wrong
My drive's free space is half what it should be, right clicking with all folders selected shows that the folders use half the space that Windows reports is currently in use, and if I use Virtualbox to delete one of the VMs and remove all data, the folder remains in Windows, but the hidden used storage is cleared
But I'm avoiding deleting it all through Virtualbox because it deletes my config files and one of those folders is not governed by Virtualbox
the content of the drag and drop went into those folders of the same name
damn, yea i can see that
Maybe you don't know but i have this thing called sound synesthesia
no idea what synesthesia is
I can see sound and that's annoying at night
oh
see sound?
Yes
I remember a few pc builders saying Lian Li is overrated
not exactly keen on believing them
Lian Li o11 is a poggy case doe
I mean it looks pog
Lian li is a decent brand, just not the typical style that westerners are keen to
Nobody likes an asian name brand on their case and call it a day
Their build quality and tolerances are solid
Very thought of and very easy to work with
It's like buying something that is made by enthusiast
i would chose lian li over other stuff if their logo would be a lil more simplified
Let me show u the logo on mine
Can u see it
Hmmm
they could make a logo from LL
Why they change it
No they didnt change it, they just move the logo to promotional material
❤️
I want to try weighted pullups and possibly muscleups but I don't think my school has the belt thing
A dipping belt
I think you're in the wrong channel miss
Lian Li cases are so beautiful 😍
News news news news: 3dmark on steam for 5$
Idk why but i just randomly received 3 steam trading cards from 3dmark
This is my case. #roastme
doesn't your hardware roast itself while in that case?
Case with 5.25 bays
Bring those bays back, pls
Internally removable ones, and an optional aesthetic-focused front place in exchange for having the visible popouts
Dude, those bays are removable on this case.
I'm also a dinosaur and still actively use a disk drive.
ah
I want to see more NEXT H510-style cases but with some sort of setup for the bays that won't mess with the front of the case. The bays are useful without having front access
NR400 
NR600
NR600 has lines!
Though, I do like it
The drive model is a completely separate thing
unless they sell the alternate faceplate separately somewhere?
Hey, I have a really dumb question. So I have 2 of these 2TB hard drives for my Xbox. (They look like this) Can I hook these up to my pc and install games on it like WZ or Cold war or Mc etc If I don't care about load times
Theyre literally just xbox branded external hdd.
They should work
Shouldn't be a problem, provided they have compatible connections (like USB or SATA).

in that case I stand for the aliens
