#

for example phanteks has a couple cases that come with a really good psu

crisp rune
#

best option

#

pink = best color

solar gulch
#

that word hurts me but aight

topaz solstice
#

to limited in choice for a decent one at that colour, hence why a decent white one and spray it the shade of pink you want

arctic lotus
#

thats fine too

topaz solstice
#

it's the best option for having a pink case

arctic lotus
#

so the internal 3.5 bays are just for the 3.5 ssds only?

solar gulch
#

ya no harm in painting it

topaz solstice
#

and bonus points in actually having a decent case in the end

crisp rune
#

i feel like the best bet would to be to find some case options you like the look of then ask us how they are or si this not a good idea (not tryna be a dick just generally might be a good idea)

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

do 3.5 bays support 2.5 ssds too?

topaz solstice
#

remember there is no 3.5" ssd in consumer space

solar gulch
#

me personally im just chilling with the deepcool matrexx add rgb 50 (tempered glass atx)

topaz solstice
solar gulch
#

whatre we on now?

solar gulch
arctic lotus
#

so im guessing no

solar gulch
#

damn

arctic lotus
#

im guessing yes now lmao

topaz solstice
#

finally a brain cell was used

arctic lotus
#

i still dont know tbh

solar gulch
#

wait what are your planned specs

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

thanks lol

#

how does the 2.5 fit in there tho

solar gulch
#

dont we only have cpu and gou?

#

gpu

topaz solstice
solar gulch
#

thats what I thought when i joined the thread 😭

solar gulch
#

still its been 2 months and we only have 2 parts

#

2 months?

#

yes

#

what the hell

#

2 months i was building my pc 😭

#

but anyway

arctic lotus
#

ig htpc can be sff

solar gulch
#

wtf is a htpc

#

funny cuz i dont know half the stuff y'all talking about

#

home theater?

arctic lotus
solar gulch
solar gulch
arctic lotus
#

does the external volume have an use at all

solar gulch
#

it is a home theater case

#

cool

#

i searched it up and it says home theater pc 💀

crisp rune
#

what form factor did we decide on in the end?

solar gulch
#

thats cuz it is

arctic lotus
#

it's just the space it takes up

solar gulch
#

atx maybe?

#

itx?

arctic lotus
#

choosing the case first

solar gulch
#

i have an atx 😄

#

i have a matx

crisp rune
#

i have a micro atx i think

solar gulch
#

my mobo is missing its io shield lol

solar gulch
solar gulch
arctic lotus
#

i have a 4090 so im gonna need to see if there are itx cases that can fit that

#

i want to go itx

solar gulch
arctic lotus
#

ive already planned my mobo

solar gulch
#

crazy

crisp rune
arctic lotus
#

idk yet, cause idk if i can go itx

solar gulch
crisp rune
#

theres a few itx cases that fit a 4090

arctic lotus
#

this could be sff too ig

solar gulch
crisp rune
#

thats why i said a few lmao

solar gulch
#

bro 💀

#

wait

#

what parts DO we have

crisp rune
solar gulch
#

cpu mobo gpu?

solar gulch
crisp rune
solar gulch
#

wait

#

she updated the list

solar gulch

it's been like that

im not wrong

solar gulch
#

ive been blocked 4 times

crisp rune
#

hello again yaboikirbo

topaz solstice
# arctic lotus

translates into a case that needs to handle a 360mm rad as well as your gpu, which means specific matx and atx cases

steel sapphire
#

hello enthos

topaz solstice
crisp rune
#

hru

solar gulch
arctic lotus
#

cause you see a 4090

steel sapphire
#

alr just doing some dishes and thought id check in

crisp rune
#

whats a 360

steel sapphire
#

u?

crisp rune
steel sapphire
#

real

crisp rune
#

that looks sick

solar gulch
topaz solstice
# arctic lotus why a 360 rad

because ones that handle a 360mm rad has the capacity to have the rad near the gpu and still have clearance for the fans as well

crisp rune
solar gulch
arctic lotus
#

like are you saying a 4090 requires a 360 rad

topaz solstice
crisp rune
topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

i saw

solar gulch
arctic lotus
#

this case should be able to do both the gpu and the 360 rad

solar gulch
topaz solstice
# arctic lotus i saw

add the rads thickness to the length of the gpu, and then add in 25mm (fan thickness)

#

matx will be the minimum case size

#

now if it was an air cooled 4090 it might be possible for itx

#

you also forget that you have to make room for the adapter @arctic lotus

arctic lotus
#

what adapter

#

i wish pcpp would add a way to sort by gpu length

topaz solstice
topaz solstice
#

it comes with the gpu, though i see only 2 model lines from 2 brands that have a direct pcie 5.0/12vhpwr adater

desert mist
#

they don't have to explain it just cause they mentioned it

solar gulch
#

Yes

topaz solstice
#

most sff builds are restrictive in different ways, most of the time it's power choice, any sff build tends to be the least cost effective build, and any radiator support they have is aimed at a cooler for the cpu never gpu @arctic lotus

desert mist
#

Cause SFF cpu coolers sorta suck lol

#

They’re not as effective anyway as a 120-240mm aio

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

i hear 240 is just fine

lusty tiger
#

Thermalright FTW lmao

desert mist
#

Noctuas SFF coolers are meh

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

how do i know what rad the case will support

#

apparently all of these can do a suprim x liquid and 360mm rads

unreal zenith
#

She chose mini itx?

desert mist
#

Really all you’d need to worry about it 240/280+360 support at the same time other then that. You could just weight aesthetics with functionality such as front IO support and Sata drive shortage slots, PSU dimensions,and general mounting capability etc. which with ITX is pretty shit either way you go about it cause it’s so constrained

#

But either way with ITX you’re gonna take a massive compromise somewhere no matter what you do

pale tulip
arctic lotus
gentle elm
arctic lotus
#

we can literally quantify the m.2 and usb

#

along with other mobo features

arctic lotus
#

but if i can fit a 200mm long atx psu. then why not go atx

pale tulip
#

cause atx is bigger than itx

arctic lotus
#

with psus i am literally not worried about the length

#

im talking about psus

#

itx isnt for psus

#

thats sfx

pale tulip
#

same thing

#

ure nitpicking

arctic lotus
#

yeah but communication is important rn when talking about 3 different parts

pale tulip
arctic lotus
#

mobo case psu

pale tulip
#

ok fair

desert mist
#

I personally like Full sized ATX/EATX board just cause they breath better and have room for huge rads

hollow orchid
steel sapphire
#

got em

hollow orchid
#

i’m probably one of them cuz i said something “rude”

crisp rune
#

i was unblocked earlier for explaining a raspberry pi and helping

#

i love pi

lusty spire
#

I had that mindset firstday on the first thread 🤣 should check back

#

lots of planning? Interesting, when did this thread start

steel sapphire
#

this thread idk

#

but the first one started late july

topaz solstice
lusty tiger
#

its also a maximum of 2 right?

topaz solstice
#

yeah if you drop to itx

sturdy anchor
#

I’d get matx tbh

#

Actually no, laptop

arctic lotus
#

a laptop is out of tbe question lmao

gentle elm
#

And can you please decide on form factor it’s been 3 days since we told you you had to decide before we do anything else

lusty spire

lusty spire
#

Framework laptop, you hook it up with an mobile 4090

#

you swap out the cpus for smt more powerful

lusty tiger
#

and how would you go about that?

lusty tiger
lusty spire
lusty spire
#

It's pretty simple

#

You take a framework laptop

lusty tiger
lusty spire
#

Hook it up with an mobile 4090

lusty spire
lusty tiger
lusty tiger
lusty tiger
#

no you cant

lusty spire
#

you can

lusty tiger
#

how

#

theyre not socketed

lusty spire
#

and?

lusty tiger
# lusty spire and?

and the framework laptop does not have a cpu better than the 7940HS. any better one would be on a different laptop

lusty tiger
#

so youre wrong when you say "get a framework laptop and upgrade the cpu"

#

because you cant

lusty spire
#

you can

#

get a framework laptop upgrade cpu and gpu

lusty tiger
lusty spire
lusty tiger
#

because laptop cpu's arent upgradable

lusty spire
#

?????

#

idk what youre on

lusty tiger
#

you just don't want to admit you're wrong

lusty spire
#

XD

#

im wrong?

#

Its physically impossible to chhange cpus on laptop

lusty tiger
#

actually, i should say: most laptop cpus aren't upgradable

lusty spire
#

How do cpus get there anyway?

#

all youd do is just replace the mainboard

#

its pretty simple

lusty tiger
#

yes, and the best mainboard has the 7940HS. you cant get better than that

#

but dream would buy it with the 7940HS anyway

lusty spire
#

you still dont get it do you

#

think for a second what I said.

#

UPGRADE

#

JERRY RIG

#

DIY

lusty tiger
# lusty spire **JERRY RIG**

and how would you do that. im going to assume youre just making up bullshit unless you have a legitimate way to "upgrade" that laptop

lusty spire
#

Wdym howd you do that

#

Dream's budget is:

#

Yes.

#

It'd simple, you get someone to manufacture the mainboard with the upgrades

lusty tiger
#

since you're saying it can be done, tell me how it can be done

lusty spire
#

just told you

lusty spire
#

you might not think it is, as dream said the same to you

lusty tiger
#

you're so obviously trolling

lusty spire
#

but it is very rude

lusty spire
#

You dont wna admit youre wrong

lusty tiger
#

im not wrong

#

although it is theoretically possible, it would cost dream as much as it did framework to design their laptop. which would be more than any pc you could possibly build

lusty spire
gentle elm
lusty tiger

Why do everytime you lose an argument you try to derail it?

lusty tiger

I am not responsible for finding sources for your sorry excuse for an argument. If you say something is possible, much less “easy”, you need to provide the sources.

a lenovo legion 5 slim is cheaper long term

an asus rog strix g15/ tuf a15 is also cheaper long term

dell g15 also cheaper long term

and none of these 3 alone will be thermal throttling on either the cpu or gpu so easily due to not having sufficient cooling

topaz solstice
#

the downside of it being a 7#45 cpu is that it has the crappier rdna2 igpu (610m) and not the decen rdna2 (680m) nor the decen rdna3 igpu (780m)

topaz solstice
hollow nymph
#

I am here to help op

arctic lotus
topaz solstice
#

and it still has a sucky igpu

#

would of rather it be a 7#40hs line of amd mobile cpu's

#

rdna 3 igpu (780m) that performs equal to that of a 1060 (3gb)

arctic lotus
#

i need case recommendations today.

topaz solstice
#

means a minor performance loss if you go from mains to battery for gaming

topaz solstice
#

i would add in the new 3000d airflow also

pale tulip
#

or an o11 mini

#

small-ish but spacious

arctic lotus
#

which one

pale tulip
#

5000d airflow

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

what about the other ones

topaz solstice
#

you dont want it to be stuck with icue at all, ever

arctic lotus
#

why not icue

#

also im guessing the chipset or cpu doesnt matter for the front panel usb at all since its the mobo that determines it meaning the case wont be able to tell you whether the header is off the cpu or chipset, but in most cases, its off the chipset anyway.

topaz solstice
# arctic lotus why not icue

can freeze the system, and locks you into a single rgb ecosystem with some really crappy fans, and an aio that get's beaten by aio's at half it's price

arctic lotus
#

hm okay

topaz solstice
#

flow chart to help you find decent fans

#

and these all can be controlled via motherboards own rgb software or using signalrgb instead

#

though if you want to save on cable managing, phanteks d30, arctic bionix p120 a-rgb, or lian li's unifans

#

as these all have a method of connecting together and only requiring 1-2 cables in total to run all the fans

prisma spindle
#

look at your moblie and thats a system on a chip

#

you are some joke

arctic lotus
#

so there are 2.5 bays on the case too.

topaz solstice
#

preferably any case you get should be free of fans so you can set it up with any of these in an arrangement to give you best airflow and perfomance from the case @arctic lotus

arctic lotus
#

why not just have all of them be 3.5 bays if the 2.5 can fit inside the 3.5

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
topaz solstice
#

when the ssd's can easily be mounted straight on to the mobo tray instead

arctic lotus
#

and then buy the case fans separate?

topaz solstice
topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

are the expansion slots the weird lego metal pieces on the back of the case?

topaz solstice
#

the parts where the gpu ports show through, yes

arctic lotus
#

whats a riser then

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

why would i need 9 of those

topaz solstice
#

ideal airflow in a case

arctic lotus
#

oh right the riser is cable. does it come with the case

topaz solstice
topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

wdym by vertically mount it

topaz solstice
#

vertically mounted gpu

arctic lotus
topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

wouldnt that gpu take up more than 1 of those metal slots

#

if mounted like this

topaz solstice
#

how it's normally mounted in a case

topaz solstice
#

and depending on the case, and the gpu, it can when vertically mounted

#

vertically mounted but not using the built in pcie slots for vertical mounting

#

2 pcie slots for vertical mounting

arctic lotus
topaz solstice
#

as most gpu's will take up at least 2.5 pcie slot

topaz solstice
#

there are a couple cases that will vertically mount a gpu from the top of the case in a way like this

pale tulip
topaz solstice
#

some powered hubs are poorly made to the point they send the voltage back into the mobo, which ends up frying the port

pale tulip
topaz solstice
#

wondering how much power draw the led's on a d30 are, let alone the amount of leds it has

pale tulip
#

30 leds holy

arctic lotus
#

im just gonna call them covers

topaz solstice
#

180 led's total then

arctic lotus
#

💜 i am building my first pc part iv 💜🩷

topaz solstice
#

10 fans to much for a single argb/rgb header where the d30's are concerned

#

would have to do 5 fans per header in his case, or use a decent powered hub

arctic lotus
# prisma spindle its clearly shows she is being a dick toward us

honestly, just defending myself. there are people ik irl hovering this chat, and they all just talk shit cause everyone in here is insane. pc builders have lost all sense of reality and are completely out of touch with normal socializing.

For example, i have no idea who you are. you are blocked, and you havent helped once.

Yes

Maybe stop being stupid and just begging for people to help you. Where you got the google to help you and vids to help you. We are here to help you to build your pc, we are not google to give you more detail report about each part. we are here to help you pick the right part and give you the best performace. Dont be a little demanding person expecting us to give you detail analysis report of each part then get mad at us because you dont understand then blocking us because "We are not helpful" if you know why do you need our help.

pale tulip
#

blud really said: MODS blow up his house

prisma spindle
topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

not really. the economy is changing.

topaz solstice
prisma spindle
#

anything under 1k is a budget pc

arctic lotus
#

$750 and $1000 pcs are getting worse and things are changing for sure.

prisma spindle
#

calling 2k pc a budget pc is crazy

arctic lotus
#

still definitely possible but

arctic lotus
#

also, i ofc disagree with the rulebreak of 2 and 4. that's definitely a stretch.

prisma spindle
#

for 750 to 1000 you can build a mid range pc that can play triple A games for few years

arctic lotus
#

inflation has easily doubled consumer prices

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

so a $1600 gpu is expensive, but its not really as expensive as what youtubers are saying

prisma spindle
arctic lotus
#

2k budget pc, is completely reasonable nowadays. of course, that's not what im going for tho

topaz solstice
prisma spindle
#

Do you ever use your brain

arctic lotus
#

2k is not really a luxury pc tho. unless youre just happy with how much tech has advanced. but it's still a trade off.

topaz solstice
#

you do realise during silicon shortage, a $800 gpu was being scalped for $2k-4k

runic bloom
#

2k literally could get you a 7900xtx and 7800x3d

arctic lotus
#

i dont think people should be paying more and more money as the years go by for new tech. but it is what it is

topaz solstice
runic bloom
#

The second best gpu on the market

prisma spindle
runic bloom
#

One of the top cpus on the market

#

Calling that budget is pretty crazy

prisma spindle
arctic lotus

its a great cpu

prisma spindle

with 2k budget

topaz solstice
prisma spindle
topaz solstice
pale tulip

or a750

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
prisma spindle
#

cos its in my currency gbp

arctic lotus

a 2k budget is really more like $1800-$1950 spent.

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

yeah lol

runic bloom
#

Under 2k

prisma spindle
arctic lotus
#

okay so i keep hearing ways of making a 360mm rad fit inside a smaller case, what kind of modifications do people do, to achieve this

prisma spindle
arctic lotus
topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

how do you know if your case has removeable drive bays?

pale tulip
#

rtfm

arctic lotus
#

almost asked what that meant again

#

do pc cases have manufacturer websites for them too where i can find the manual?

pale tulip
#

..yeah

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

wheres the manual

#

nvm i found it

topaz solstice
#

i could drop to a 7800x3d to make it cheaper and put in a 4tb ssd instead

arctic lotus
#

you would have to, since its above 2k

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

why are we all building budget 2k pcs tho lmao

#

like i understand you can have a nice cpu and gpu that are not budget lmao

topaz solstice
#

we're showing what you can get for $2k

arctic lotus
#

that's definitely, not what im doing tho

topaz solstice
#

even mobo choice is not budget at all

#

considering how well asrock is nailing it currently

arctic lotus
#

i like asrock, ive heard good things

topaz solstice
#

before 700 series intel, and 600 series amd mobo's they was mediocre at best

#

now it's full on A-game

pale tulip
#

Z690 PG Sonic is so goated

topaz solstice
#

then there's the big daddi of them all for asrock, the taichi

arctic lotus
#

so what does rear front and all that mean

topaz solstice
#

front of case, top of case, rear of case

#

very simple

pale tulip
#

dude its legit just a lightning but with sonic

arctic lotus
#

so the radiator always goes up against a pc case wall

topaz solstice
#

front it depends on the case, sometimes it does, sometimes it's on a tray that can screw in instead

pale tulip
#

bit rare

arctic lotus
#

so by front you mean, sometimes it goes up against the wall, but sometimes it does not

topaz solstice
topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

okay, so what does this one mean, when it says

motherboard tray - 360mm

topaz solstice
#

as an example, nzxct h5 flow uses a tray there that's held in with 2 screws

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

but how can a radiator go there

topaz solstice
#

and if it's the 5000d af, then it has a spot for a 360mm radiator to sit right next to the mobo

arctic lotus
#

wouldnt the mobo be in the way

#

or do you mean like, next to it side by side

#

not underneath it

topaz solstice
#

5000d airflow

arctic lotus
#

the thing on the right

topaz solstice
#

space for 2x 360mm on front and side

#

with a custom loop in

#

again custom loop

#

atx mobo being used in both

#

but depending on your setup you might not be able to use the side for a radiator so instead you'd put fans only as they're slimmer in thickness

#

standard fan thickness = 25mm, thinnest radiator thickness = 33mm

#

with aio and the cover for directing airflow from the side

#

said cover also hides cables

#

so you get what they was refering to now ?? @arctic lotus

arctic lotus
#

um, yeah i think so.

motherboard tray as in back panel instead of side panel.

but its next to the motherboard because its so big and large instead of it being under the motherboard where all the cable management happens.

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

that's what i meant

topaz solstice
#

also if you notice, this looks alot cleaner with the shroud the way it is

arctic lotus
#

not below as in -y

i meant, -z

topaz solstice
#

and the gpu rests on the shroud when vertically mounted

arctic lotus
#

275 x 117 x 54mm1.

these are the dimensions of the suprim liquid x radiator

does this mean this counts as a 280mm radiator

arctic lotus
#

so if i want to go this aib, i need to find a case with 280mm support

topaz solstice
#

and anything that takes a 360mm rad will definitely take a 280mm rad

arctic lotus
#

rad support i mean

topaz solstice
#

meanwhile anything that takes 240mm is not garuanteed to support 280mm rad

arctic lotus
#

okay cool, what do you do with the extra open area.

#

do you just leave it

topaz solstice
#

leave it mainly

#

though with some, if it was a 240mm rad, then you might br able to add an extra fan

arctic lotus
#

are radiators better than regular fans

topaz solstice
#

both require a fan still

arctic lotus
#

do regular fans come in the same sizing too, like 120mm, 140, 240, 280, 360 etc

#

yeah air coolers

topaz solstice
#

liquid coolers are more thermally efficient over an air cooler

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

can you fill up the case with radiators instead of air coolers, or do you need to have at least 1 air cooler

#

im talking case coolers btw, not cpu cooler

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

idk how airflow works

topaz solstice
runic bloom
pale tulip
#

its just air

#

do u not have any windows in ur house

arctic lotus
#

no i think, i intentionally stated this to avoid that question

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

i have 1 window in my apartment

pale tulip
#

and what happens if you close it

#

do you have any air coming in

#

same thing with a pc kinda

#

you need air coming in from outside

#

and the fans move in the air

arctic lotus
# topaz solstice ideal airflow in a case

are there other configurations? what are all the combinations? cause sometimes the most ideal isnt possible.

i was already aware that the sku side of a fan is the exhaust side.

arctic lotus
#

what does open and close mean in this graphic

topaz solstice
topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

which pressure was the one in the picture way earlier

#

okayy

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

i see the front back, bottom top

#

so that's positive

topaz solstice
#

yeah

#

negative is when all fans draw air in, which tbh not the best way especially if room is tight

arctic lotus
#

why would anyone do that

topaz solstice
#

also as a reminder, psu fans go like this for air flow

arctic lotus
#

is there a graphic for negative pressure

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

what exactly is neutral pressure

topaz solstice
#

neutral to positive is the ideal way, as it draws cool air in while helping the convection of hot air out

#

though neutral is more about keeping it a constant even airflow

#

which is doable mainly by setting custom fan curves

#

you don't want fans running 100% all the time but you do want it to have decent air flow

arctic lotus
#

so the top one is negative

#

the one in the middle is neutral

#

and what determines the neutrality of it, is if the same mm x mm amount of cooling is being exhausted as the intake

#

meaning a case with a 360mm intake rad in the front and a 240mm exhaust rad in the rear with a 360mm intake rad at the bottom and a 360mm rad at the top is slightly negative since the exhaust power is slightly weaker than what is being intaked.

#

a true negative pressure is 100% intake
a true positive pressure is 100% exhaust

arctic lotus
#

which means certain placements must be high priority for cases and rad sizes

#

like a 360mm rad is more valuable in the rear then, because it means a higher chance of having a positive pressure set up.

#

and a 360 mm in the front is less valuable because its a higher chance of having a negative pressure setup without a 360mm rear rad.

#

but ig you can just set everything to exhaust if need be

#

but a 360mm on the rear and the top are more valuable than a 360mm on the bottom or front.

#

how does the side play a part in airflow then?

#

should air go from side panel to back panel?

#

cause afaik, it's impossible to have a rad on the side panel

#

so then what do people set their mobo tray rad to? probably always exhaust, unless you are going for a more neutral set up. in which case you can do 1 intake and have that as the mobo tray rad.

whats the difference between cfm and inh20

arctic lotus
#

so yeah diving deeper into cases, it looks like picking one will be more like picking a mobo

#

theres a lot of non performance things to consider

#

what does cpu max length mean? arent all cpus the same height basically

#

except server cpus

topaz solstice
arctic lotus
#

maybe, im not sure

topaz solstice
#

airflow vs static pressure

#

most fans nowadays have a decent amount on both though it depends on what fan you look at

#

50-70cfm with 2-3mmh20 is where you want to be for alot of them

#

static pressure = amount of air that can be pushed through tight gaps

#

and as for airflow that's to do with the speed the fan runs at to draw in enough air per each rpm

arctic lotus
#

what does cfm and mmh20 mean

topaz solstice
#

like i said, airflow vs static pressure

arctic lotus
#

idek either of those tho

topaz solstice
#

when drawing air through a radiator, static pressure > airflow

arctic lotus
#

only just learned airflow today

topaz solstice
#

when no obstructions are present, airflow > static pressure

arctic lotus
#

wdym

topaz solstice
#

though airflow fans tend to be noisier than static pressure fans

sturdy anchor
# arctic lotus wdym

You know how some cases have solid front panels, thats were you’d use static pressure fans. You would use airflow fans for cases with mesh front panels

like i said, what you pay for the framework laptops, you get the same specs for $1.2k minimum

dont see the point there

Would you rather carry around 5 laptops

or just buy the modules for framework

#

and hotswap whenever

topaz solstice
gentle elm
#

pov: pokey playing cod on his laptop and mid game quickly swaps laptops for zero reason

lusty spire

thats what isaid

not to do that

instead you can hotswap a module

like if youre gonna go out somewhere, just take out your gpu module rq

#

and carry a lighter laptop

#

need more ethernet ports?

#

wait no more

gentle elm
#

its still not hotsway you still have to unscrew and unplu8g

lusty spire

youre a man so you dont understand, but i feel like you should since it was a big thing a couple years ago.

but it's basically girl culture, everyone knows it.

it's like a meme

so like, even purple girls will go "welp ig im a bitch cause my favorite color is purple"

or sometimes they not say their favorite color is purple when meeting a new gf

#

you can also always tell, when it's their favorite color.

#

it became a bigger meme that im p sure men knew about for awhile then went away

arctic lotus
#

it was like a short lived meme that men who actually had gfs could talk about.

crimson niche
#

Happy to not be in usa

arctic lotus
#

it was really funny when the gf's favorite color was also purple lmao

crimson niche
#

I have s gf and she like purple but she not a bitch so your thing is just shit assumptions

#

I know a lot of girl that like purple and they are not bitch

arctic lotus
#

the reason it's like a meme is cause, when you are growing up as a girl, it's basically either pink or purple is your favorite color when you are a kid. so the running joke is that girls who pick purple are trying to be "different" and when they get older some of them will even go like

"but im not like other girls" so thats like a huge meme in the girl community.
