[light egret]

tell that to the people who build massive over the top rgb builds only to hide it under the desk

[storm narwhal]

Only to have the glass face the other way (the wall)

[elfin mural]

oh i will

[light egret]

😂

[fervent stump]

I need them

[light egret]

Im a lefty and I so badly wanted a reverse case just because of that. So there was a short while when I did actually do that lmao

[storm narwhal]

Aren't there more and more cases that do that now?

[light egret]

but I didn't have a ton of rgb at the time

[storm narwhal]

Cases that you can flip

[light egret]

iunno at the time they were like triple the price

[storm narwhal]

Idk about now either lol I haven't looked

[light egret]

my solution was a 20$ itx case where the mobo sat flat instead of sideways and it had a red window on both sides

[fervent stump]

Meow

[light egret]

then I decided the red window was ugly and I wanted an ATX build so I changed all that and added a lot more RGB lol

[elfin mural]

my laptop's fans bearings are starting to become not good

i dropped it, never fixed the fans once

they're starting to vibrate my laptop more than before

[light egret]

I got a couple fan bearings going out

but its on a desktop

[elfin mural]

it's only one year old lmao

[light egret]

oof

well I mean one of the fans is only a lil over a year old

but they cheapo RGB fans

iunno where I got em

if possible, WDL

it's literally built into windows 11

[fervent stump]

Hey mod can I beat up motor?

[pliant berry]

I tried signal rgb once but didn't really like it

[elfin mural]

he didn't say anything bad-

[fervent stump]

^

[storm narwhal]

E

[elfin mural]

but yeah signal rgb isn't the best

[craggy shoal]

E

[fervent stump]

How come?

[pliant berry]

wish rgb had a feature to turn it off and keep it off

[elfin mural]

my rgb "off" is to set it to black

[fervent stump]

11900k

[storm narwhal]

Black RGB

[elfin mural]

lmao

[storm narwhal]

Lmao

[craggy shoal]

The B in RGB stands for "black"

[idle nexus]

you have 11900K?

[fervent stump]

No

[idle nexus]

let me borrow it for like a week

[fervent stump]

Watching YT

[idle nexus]

lol

[fervent stump]

Nuh uh only if you let me borrow your 7800x3d

[idle nexus]

I don't have one sorry

lol

[fervent stump]

Wait I actually could let you borrow something 😭

Your close

[idle nexus]

lol true story

I borked my only 11th gen CPU

I want those DDR4 validation globals

[tranquil pebble]

Mine is to physically disconnect power to the LEDs.

or to not buy stuff with it in the first place

[idle nexus]

the highest I ever POSTed DDR4 is 5600. That's not good enough for anything meaningful

[tranquil pebble]

On my keyboard I can turn RGB off with a key combo

[fervent stump]

lol noob

Do you have any spare parts?

[idle nexus]

I can turn off all my rgb with a single switch on my PSU

there's a bit of collateral damage tho

lol spare parts eh

depends how you look at it ig

[fervent stump]

Nvm I mean @idle nexus do you have any spare parts that I would be able to buy from you?

I’m poor though so don’t get your hopes up

[idle nexus]

lol selling &/or trading is not allowed on Newegg server unfortunately

[light egret]

Thats nothin, I can turn off all my RGB with a fork without even touching the PC

[fervent stump]

Oh nvm then

[light egret]

it hurts tho

[idle nexus]

lol put electric tape on it first ez

[light egret]

but then how do you know it's working?

[tranquil pebble]

No official server ever wants this, and for good reasons.

[craggy shoal]

"How would you rate your company's safety?"
Yeah/10

[storm narwhal]

Flip it like a knife

Aw what happen

[craggy shoal]

Recorded this earlier lol

$5K in my hand lmao

[tranquil pebble]

Companies I have worked for are pretty much like wear this PPE or get fired on the spot.

which is the way things should be

[storm narwhal]

That's 1 1935 Pontiac or something

[craggy shoal]

sumn like that 👴

[tranquil pebble]

Specialized equipment is always expensive even if the bill of materials could be paid for in pennies

[storm narwhal]

Aviation screws be like

[tranquil pebble]

Well those probably have to pass a few hundred safety and quality checks lol

[fervent stump]

I have 1.2k in my hands

What does that even do?

[tranquil pebble]

unless you are Boeing

[craggy shoal]

Gets network information lol

[fervent stump]

Oh nice

[craggy shoal]

It actually does a lot more than that but yeah basically that

[tranquil pebble]

depending on what that thing does I could probably build one with an Arduino

[craggy shoal]

Probably 💀

[tranquil pebble]

for it to have that kind of price means it probably had to pass some insane certs or something

ya know kinda like medical equipment does

[tranquil pebble]

one of my Arduinos has wifi plus two MCUs and 8 megabytes of RAM

[tranquil pebble]

oh you know what? That is a Fluke... no wonder the price. That brand is horribly expensive for everything they do.

[craggy shoal]

Uhhh yeah lmaoo

They’re expensive 💀💀

Some go for like $13K lol

[tranquil pebble]

a basic DMM from them is like $150 and it does the same thing as a $15 walmart one

The things better have a near lifetime warranty, otherwise not worth it

[shy egret]

Hey
How can I find the sku number on my invoice
Is it the item#?

[craggy shoal]

@onyx citrus https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP81HXeeL/

[silver sparrow]

dear god just a 1024 back is massive

[light egret]

according to https://logistics.newegg.com/kb/manage-items/
It is the Seller Part #

[shy egret]

So it’s no the item#?

Because a rebate I’m using needs the sku from the Newegg invoice but the sku is not on the Newegg invoice

[tranquil pebble]

So I found out some barcode scanners can do QR codes too. I thought that was interesting.

[light egret]

ok a quick google says that item number and sku are the same thing. It might match up on your invoice too but im not sure how they determine seller part #s. The rebates aren't actually from newegg and will vary from company to company so I can't say what they actually want, but I would probably go with item number

[craggy shoal]

Barcode scanners are just keyboards with lasers lol

[light egret]

what are you even on about motor

this your new CPU?

[tranquil pebble]

I could get a 64c Zen 2 CPU for $1100

[craggy shoal]

Why am I getting color banding on a new Windows installation 🙃

🫠

[lone mango]

[tranquil pebble]

bad monitor possibly? or gpu driver issue

[craggy shoal]

I’m leaning towards GPU drivers

[tranquil pebble]

could also be wrong color profile for the monitor

[craggy shoal]

Cable is fine. Tested it on integrated graphics and it was fine. It looked fine before reinstallation

[tranquil pebble]

Yeah Id bet on color profile and/or driver

[craggy shoal]

True but I installed the color profile because of this and it didn’t resolve the issue lol

[fervent stump]

E

[craggy shoal]

It's also only an 8-bit panel but it's never looked this bad

[tranquil pebble]

least it isnt a 6-bit panel

[craggy shoal]

Fr 💀💀

[unreal trail]

[craggy shoal]

I might just DDU eventually and see if that fixes it. If not, idk what imma do :/

[tranquil pebble]

My phone is IIRC a 10-bit panel

it be like color banding, whats that?

[fervent stump]

Ddr3

[craggy shoal]

Bruh dare I say my monitor looks like it's a 6-bit panel 💀

Gradients are garbage

[tranquil pebble]

what I am using color wise

[tranquil pebble]

make sure your GPU is putting out an 8 bpc signal and not a 6

for AMD this is easy but idk for Nvidia

[craggy shoal]

It says 8-bit in Nvidia Control Panel and same within Windows

[tranquil pebble]

My Acer monitor has no gradient banding at all lol

[fervent stump]

How good is a 14700k 4060

[craggy shoal]

LMAO WHAT

The printer 💀

Guys I'm gaming one printout per minute brb 😭

[tranquil pebble]

if its for color management that is why

[craggy shoal]

Oh yeah that would make sense lolll

[tranquil pebble]

it applies to printers as much as it does to displays

[light egret]

bruh what happens if you click it

[fervent stump]

Hey motor

[tranquil pebble]

dw its not saying your printer is a display

[craggy shoal]

Busy

But no don't get an Intel CPU

[fervent stump]

Sorry

[fervent stump]

It’s my friends build he made it already

[craggy shoal]

lol how long ago?

[tranquil pebble]

especially cRaptor lake

[fervent stump]

Like during the summer

[craggy shoal]

Bro is suffering lmao

Hot Intel in the middle of summer 💀

[tranquil pebble]

If I had a Raptor Lake Id be undervolting the hell out of it

maybe even full on underclocking... performance means nothing if the CPU dies

[proud jackal]

tried the ff16 demo

the cut scenes are still locked at 30fps

[fervent stump]

It’s been good for him

He’s likes it

[tranquil pebble]

I never could get into any of the FF games.

[craggy shoal]

I'd like my 13700K too if it didn't heat my room and try to kill itself

[fervent stump]

He hasn’t had that problem

[craggy shoal]

Okay Dani

You know what

uhh

ur mom

[tranquil pebble]

My Threadripper probably draws less power than that CPU

[proud jackal]

[fervent stump]

Meanie

[craggy shoal]

which one

[tranquil pebble]

3955 WX

[sweet phoenix]

3955wx does indeed use less power

[modern imp]

it doesn't

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I'd imagine it idles well below my 13700K at idle

[modern imp]

the threadripper IOD pulls about 60w

[sweet phoenix]

Hell my 13600k pulled more power than it without changing anything in bios

[modern imp]

the cores do

but they are also way slower

[sweet phoenix]

Si

[craggy shoal]

13700K be like: 1.6V, 150W at idle, 97C on liquid nitrogen

[modern imp]

?

[craggy shoal]

Yes

[modern imp]

Raptor pulls about 4-10w at idle

[dusk knot]

@sinful blade

[modern imp]

Threadripper pulls about 50-100

because BIG iod go brrr

[craggy shoal]

I don't think I fixed my color banding issue but I've improved it

[fervent stump]

I’m going to bed motor have a good night see you guys tomorrow

[craggy shoal]

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/wC6s0avpQRE?si=hnL-Sh-sxt8XTUDC

[tranquil pebble]

that system has a 14th gen i5 in it too

[craggy shoal]

lmaooo how

[tranquil pebble]

Dell likes to put the absolute bare minimum PSUs in their systems

and then not even let you upgrade them

RAM is also only single channel, and they do not let you choose dual

[rancid juniper]

the only plus with their psus is that they dont explode

[tranquil pebble]

very low bar though

[rancid juniper]

true

most of their oem pcs just come with lower tdp configurations

[tranquil pebble]

I was wanting to give Dell benefit of doubt but they lost that the millisecond I saw their current PSU specs

[tranquil pebble]

$2300 Dell with RTX card has 250W PSU

no excuse for this nonsense

[craggy shoal]

They at least could've made it a 251W PSU

[tranquil pebble]

if you absolutely have to go with a prebuilt, pay a company to build it for you so you dont get royally screwed on the PSU

then you also dont have to deal with proprietary PSU nonsense as these system builders use ATX stuff

obviously best to build yourself if you can though

[sinful blade]

Red death gaming

[tranquil pebble]

Random fact: some 360 RRoDs were a relief to see as it meant the system had not died but rather simply needed a new power brick

Bro ☠️

Well ig you can file a report

I feel like fortnite is the most optimized ue5 title despite its stuttering

Well fps wise

Makes sense since it's made by epic themselves

[storm narwhal]

I'm just running it on dx11

Still stutters

Like what's up with that epic

Your own game that fired like a couple hundred employees can't keep up with the maintenance and the new content being g created?

[young matrix]

thats UE for you

[storm narwhal]

Trying to be Minecraft, guitar hero, Mario kart and a battle royale all at the same time must be tough without enough employees

[young matrix]

you see guys, this is why source 2 is better

[storm narwhal]

CS GO 2

Unlike Fortnite it has go in the name

[young matrix]

L game (i played for 3 hours today)

[storm narwhal]

LMAO

[young matrix]

source 2 is crazy optimized for single player games tho

idk wtf is up with CS2's optimization but its all over the place

game runs fine for me but a lot of people are saying it runs like cheeks

most of my friends are fine

[storm narwhal]

I haven't tried it yetv

[last mango]

Disagree

[rancid juniper]

😂

[last mango]

Dang it

Anyways it ran like crap on my 79xt

4070ti made it better but less frame rates

And it couldn't be fixed with your control

So had to wait until fortnite fixed that frame rate issue

[rancid juniper]

just play on DX11

[last mango]

Now it's better

[young matrix]

its been fine and im on a 4070ti

[last mango]

I play on dx12 mainly

[young matrix]

simple solution: dont

[rancid juniper]

using DX12 will make the game use stuff like nanite or lumen

and obv they run better on nvidia cards

[last mango]

Yeah

Now it runs better

I get smooth solid 165 fps on it

Occasional dips because of terrains changes but it's much better than last Season

[young matrix]

ill post my settings

[last mango]

Alright

I may do that if I just unlock fps limiter

[young matrix]

limiting FPS helps with input latency

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8ZUqT6Tfiw

Personally, i wouldnt use reflex as it increases cpu usage but yeah

[rancid juniper]

Shadows be tanking fps

Good move

[last mango]

and 79xt goes brrr

[last mango]

Oh yeah

Raw raster meaning turn off Fidelity and stuff?

[last mango]

Thanks. gonna save them for a reference later when I want more fps outta it. the only difference is my monitor resolution

[young matrix]

Ye

[young matrix]

Frames win games

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[young matrix]

Also another thing id reccomend is if you switched from amd to nvidia or vice versa is to clear the shader cache https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_Fortnite/c-Fortnite_TechnicalSupport/fortnite-stutters-heavily-and-has-below-expected-performance-on-directx-12-a000088950

[last mango]

I had that problem, I have a feeling it was trying to recomplile directx shaders but it failed many times

made my game run like crap until endgame

lagging in and out

the recent PC perfomance update fixed it

[last mango]

I'm curious why windowed fullscreen?

[young matrix]

Dual monitor

[last mango]

Gotcha

Apparently for me running it in windowed mode made it have better performance

Odd.

[wary fjord]

hahahah hell no

xD

finding support for that cpu will be a headache

[hot pumice]

64c zen 1 with ddr5 support lol

why does this exist

u dont need fast cpu on it

But what if the Radeon 7000 series can already av1 encode

That car survived over a century

Only to get into a crash due to reckless driving

[storm narwhal]

Oh my god

It'd probably still work if you replaced the tire

[last mango]

But gosh such a history piece destroyed by reckless driving

Yeah but won't be original anymore

[storm narwhal]

Maybe fixed some stuff up in the engine

But yeah then it's not the same

[velvet summit]

The article did say custom
So it was modded in some form

[last mango]

smh my head

[storm narwhal]

O nevermind then fix it immediately lmao

[craggy shoal]

Nah it could use some Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires tbh

[storm narwhal]

With how the guy was driving it could use suspension too

[velvet summit]

They modded the model T (apparently, at least according to the article, which didn't say what was custom) but didn't add seatbelts to the model t

Apparently the driver and passenger shot out from the crash and somehow only got minor injuries

Shot out of the car as in like, into a sidewalk

Would that mother board be good for a all white build

Like strictly all white

[fervent stump]

It looks nice

[tacit geode]

what game?

[tacit geode]

[fervent stump]

If something is 606W what should the PSU be?

[tacit geode]

owned by new zeland now too

[rancid juniper]

that i know for sure

[rancid juniper]

idk 850?

[fervent stump]

Could you help me find one that’s white since I only know one that is 1k

[rancid juniper]

ok

[velvet summit]

if you want a good vpn
mullvad vpn is the goat
if you want to support firefox, mozilla vpn (which also runs on mullvad's infrastructure)

[rancid juniper]

https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-v-gold-pro-sf-1000f14tg-1000w/p/1HU-024C-00047

check this one out

[fervent stump]

This gpu matches so well

[rancid juniper]

this psu should last you a long time no matter which upgrade

[fervent stump]

Oh I meant one that’s 850

[rancid juniper]

not much here

that corsair 850 is somewhat bad value when the 1000w superflower is just 5 bucks more

[fervent stump]

Then I’ll stick to the one I originally have

[rancid juniper]

ok

[fervent stump]

Sweat proof gpu

[granite estuary]

I want to build a new pc

but my pc works perfectly fine

[velvet summit]

pc building addicts be like

[sinful blade]

Build one for another person

[opaque sedge]

F u black myth

[opaque sedge]

(Jk its a new game using new tech so not too sour)

(Ok a teensy bit sour maybe)

[opaque sedge]

I dont have to spend 1.5k again for another pc?!

[velvet summit]

real

[granite estuary]

bad idea

if something goes wrong

caput

[opaque sedge]

I was exaggerating on the 1.5k tbh a 1440p high/ultra pc can be made for 1.3k tbh

If u didn’t overspend on aesthetics ofc

[sinful blade]

Build one for me:)

/s

[opaque sedge]

Me too

[opaque sedge]

But

Then I remember all the cuts and bruises my fingertips got that night

[fervent stump]

They should make that on vr

[opaque sedge]

Those power supple cables were very stubborn and uncooperative too

Worst part of the build imo

But depends on what type of cables ur psu comes with ig

Mine were just sucky

Aged like milk

[viral heron]

what do u think about this one https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c1-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32321246888025

the v4 a lil too small for me

[craggy shoal]

I mean it's not remappable. If you want something remappable and TKL (80%) you can get the C1 Pro

[viral heron]

is there an advantage to having a mechanical keyboard

or like how different is it

i think the one i have now is non mechnical worried i might not like mechanical ones

[granite estuary]

okay

I will

You know what i've just realized

my GPU is not secured with screws

for how long

wtf

[unreal trail]

ay yo

[granite estuary]

I do not even know where the screws went lol

oh well

[opaque sedge]

Where are the screws

WHERE ARE

THE SCREWS

[granite estuary]

No idea

[opaque sedge]

BOY!!

[granite estuary]

Last time I opened my pc up was probably 8 months ago LOL

[opaque sedge]

Go buy some or smth

Best buy could have it

[granite estuary]

Ill just leave it

its worked fine

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-god-of-war-gif-24899880

[granite estuary]

What would happen if I unplugged my gpu while my pc is on

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

If u can afford another pc

Go ahead and try

[granite estuary]

I cant

but I still want to try

[granite estuary]

Can’t wait

[dusk knot]

Not really the right server to post this here

[icy ore]

[misty sparrow]

I wonder if all prebuilts use proprietary components or if it’s just ones from the big name brands

[velvet summit]

mainly big name brands

mainly dell really

even hp isnt doing all proprietary components anymore afaik

[misty sparrow]

You think Lenovo’s using proprietary stuff or?

[velvet summit]

though while they arent using non standard components, they may be using some cut cost versions of boards and such

uhh

i mean, i have a lenovo thinkcenter from like 9 years ago, and it's mostly standard from what i see

[misty sparrow]

yeah I was just wondering

that Lenovo pc in #tech-deals is really tempting

but don’t know if it might have a proprietary motherboard (or other parts) that would limit me upgrading later

[velvet summit]

am i blind or do i not see it

[misty sparrow]

It’s the 3060 one

[velvet summit]

oh wait

i see

[misty sparrow]

The one above sold out

[mental yoke]

Hey guys. I have a problem. My PC is on but my monitors don't show anything. It says No Signal

[misty sparrow]

You try using different cables or ports?

[mental yoke]

I tested it out by plugging it into my motherboard instead

and it still says no signal

[velvet summit]

idk if the mobo is non-standard, but i would expect you to be able to swap ram, gpu, storage, and cpu

idk if you could reuse the case with a new mobo though

[velvet summit]

new build?

[mental yoke]

nope

[velvet summit]

did you do any hardware changes?

[mental yoke]

No

[velvet summit]

hmm

[misty sparrow]

If I got that pc I’d probably get rid of that case lmao

[velvet summit]

randomly started happening?

[mental yoke]

Yes

[velvet summit]

lmao
with the side panel being metal, and looking on google images, i cant tell if the mobo is standard

[misty sparrow]

I mean it’s sold out anyway so

[velvet summit]

oh

lmfaoo

also those mobo io is so

barebones

lmfao

[misty sparrow]

If you didn’t tell me it was a gaming pc I’d think it’s just an office pc

and it’s got vga too lmao

[velvet summit]

lmao

only the most reliable display standard

[proud jackal]

Valve banned snaptap

[velvet summit]

who

[rancid juniper]

https://www.youtube.com/live/iT5ilwECdrA?si=g5AWFATI2BTyi6Oi

[mental yoke]

so update on my monitor display issue....

The CPU light on the motherboard is red

what that mean

[rancid juniper]

2025

[sinful blade]

Dell and HP usually
Lenovo doesn’t do it that often

[devout forum]

Secret Shopper 3

[granite estuary]

Where does one actually buy a jonsbo case

[devout forum]

Where do you live?

Cuz for me etailers stock them for the most part

They're quite niche here in Hungary

[granite estuary]

Canada

[devout forum]

Idk then

[granite estuary]

Me either

[devout forum]

Sorry, etailers might have them

That's my best guess

[granite estuary]

They’re on Amazon but $200 lol

[fervent stump]

It’s perfect

[granite estuary]

What is

[fervent stump]

The combo is soooo nice but I want a better gpu

I may be all about aesthetics but like I want good performance too

[granite estuary]

That’s my combo

Legit what is in my pc

Except micro atx

[fervent stump]

Can I see?

[granite estuary]

I guess not exactly that

[unreal trail]

wonder if Silksong will be there

[granite estuary]

The board is the same but not as much camo

[fervent stump]

Oh :(

Will that mobo look good in a all white pc

[granite estuary]

Prime

[fervent stump]

Wow it’s very nice but your gpu is missing something

[granite estuary]

Huh

[fervent stump]

🔩🔩

[granite estuary]

Oh

Yeah

I just remembered that today

[fervent stump]

Use the screws from below it

[granite estuary]

Meh

It’ll be fine

[fervent stump]

:(

[granite estuary]

I may go pickup some fans

To finish it

[fervent stump]

Oki

[fervent stump]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JNZ3h3

Look at this will the mobo match?

[granite estuary]

I don’t think so

Tbh

[fervent stump]

:c

[fervent stump]

It’s 100 dollars less then the other one I want

[granite estuary]

Idk it would probably be fine

$65 for ONE fan is criminal

[fervent stump]

Ewwwwww what’s the end?

[opaque sedge]

Has to do with the heatsink

[velvet summit]

these?

those are heat pipes

[opaque sedge]

Do heatpipes ever accumulate moisture?

[velvet summit]

wdym

[opaque sedge]

Like going from hot and cold

[proud jackal]

No

[velvet summit]

you mean like condensation? nah

[proud jackal]

[opaque sedge]

Damn

[velvet summit]

have to be colder than ambient for that to happen

if this was a refrigeration loop, it would

which is why fridges have a condensation tray

same with freezers

except in the case of freezers, the condensation gets frozen, so there is a heated defrost

[granite estuary]

Stupid question I’ve never cared enough about airflow

Can you flip a fan

[velvet summit]

yes

[granite estuary]

Like I have the Infiniti reverse fan

But if I flip it

Then the infinity thing is going to be facing outwards

[velvet summit]

mhm

[granite estuary]

And not seeable

Nvm

[velvet summit]

lmao

[granite estuary]

Ill just move it and get non infinity regersesble

Reverse

How should airflow even be in my pc

Intake at the bottom exhaust in the top?

[sinful blade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q8WImF649E

[velvet summit]

bottom intake shouldnt be used if on carpet (though dont put your pc on carpet either way)
but yeah, usually front is intake
and then the rest could be passive and/or exhaust

you would want there to be more (filtered) intake than exhaust, to keep the case in a positive pressure configuration so that less dust will collect in all the gaps, which ends up being pretty noticable

[granite estuary]

I can’t really have front intake though?

AP201 psu goes in the front

Something like this?

[velvet summit]

i have never seen a psu in the front before

that is an interesting case

[granite estuary]

I thought the AP201 was a popular case

[velvet summit]

but yeah, in your case then, bottom intake could improve thermals

since everything seems to just be an exhaust currently

[sinful blade]

There’s a few cases that have a front PSU

They all look not great imo

But I can’t fault the style for being some peoples style

[granite estuary]

The back fan is intake

[velvet summit]

oh

[granite estuary]

It’s the infinite reverse fan

[velvet summit]

you're not even letting the gpu get air

😭

[granite estuary]

Nope

Somehow my thermals are decent 😂

But time to improve it

[velvet summit]

tbf it's a small case so it doesnt matter as much, and heat rises

honestly they may get better if you move the rear fan to the bottom

[granite estuary]

Yeah I’m going to move the reverse fan to the bottom

With another reverse fan

Then normal fans on aio and an actual exhaust fan

[velvet summit]

wait

are the aio fans also intake?

[granite estuary]

Uhhh

Idk

How can I tell

Turning off my pc one sec

[velvet summit]

are they reverse fans as well? and are the fan "spines" or whatever on the rad side or the case internal side

[velvet summit]

ok they're exhaust

[granite estuary]

Bah they’re normal fans

No*

[fervent stump]

YES LOOK AT THEM

EW

I don’t want metal sticking out of my gpu it ruins the looks 😭

[velvet summit]

you wouldnt really ususally see it though

[fervent stump]

idk

[fervent stump]

ITS SO

Round, open, not square, ummm probably more reasons and more

Idk it’s weird

When I think of a gpu I THINK OF A OVERPRICED BRICK

[devout forum]

Wow that's a pretty GPU

Has to be Zotac

[fervent stump]

IT IS

ITS NOT A BRICK

😭

Idk what to think about this thing

[devout forum]

I like Zotac cards but their RGB is quite the pain to handle

[fervent stump]

How???

[devout forum]

They have their own very proprietary software for it
Can't just have mobo software toame over

[dusk knot]

Oof

[craggy shoal]

ew proprietary

[fervent stump]

:(

I don’t like that

It’s just it’s a cheap 4080s so I’m getting it

[devout forum]

It's on their website

[fervent stump]

MY PHONE KEEPS FREEZING

[devout forum]

But I dunno if they don't work with Mobo software

[fervent stump]

I hope they do

[devout forum]

Nope

You can control RBG strips from the card but can't sync it to mobo

[fervent stump]

Waaaaa

Won’t that mean that the RGB in the rest of the case will be maybe slightly off like a different shade of blue for example

[devout forum]

It's probably gonna be fine

Do you use something like SignalRGB or OpenRGB?

[craggy shoal]

It would be different nevertheless tbh

[devout forum]

Those can control them

But that's either expensive or clunky

[fervent stump]

I’ll probably look at both

[devout forum]

SignalRGB is a subscription, beware

[fervent stump]

How come?

[craggy shoal]

You can set all of your lighting to white and some lights will be warmer than others. Same with other colors too

[devout forum]

And I personally dislike how clunky OpenRGB is

At least it's free tho

[fervent stump]

Would that all be similar though?

[craggy shoal]

Yeah it would be pretty close

[fervent stump]

Like look it’s purrfect

[craggy shoal]

You can adjust the colors by hex codes as well to fine tune it

[devout forum]

That's likely a very high-end rig tbf

[fervent stump]

Yea

[devout forum]

I see at least 600 dollars in fans alone

[elfin mural]

it's a zotac airo

[granite estuary]

Well this is criminal

[elfin mural]

at least 4080

[granite estuary]

4 fans

$207

[craggy shoal]

the PC has multiple screens inside
"yeah that might be a high-end PC"
lolll

[fervent stump]

Yea we know about the gpu im getting that one

[craggy shoal]

Lian Li moment

[devout forum]

My eyes didn't even register any screens

It was the fans catching my eye

[fervent stump]

That much?

[devout forum]

Like those are EXPENSIVE fans

[elfin mural]

also that's purple not white

[fervent stump]

Yes I know

[devout forum]

Likely more than 600 for the 8 fans I see

[craggy shoal]

tbf I just now noticed that the fans have screens as well

[fervent stump]

How do much for fans

They just blow air

[devout forum]

Yes

They're expensive as hecc

[fervent stump]

Nzxt fans? Are these high end

[devout forum]

I revise my estimate, almost a thousand bucks in fans if not more

[craggy shoal]

Just get some Arctic P12 fans

[granite estuary]

Yeah

[craggy shoal]

I swear

[granite estuary]

Unfortunately I got 2 of them already

Don’t know if I even like them lol

[devout forum]

That's a ridiculously expensive rig

[tranquil pebble]

NZXT is mostly overpriced RGB crap AFAIK

[granite estuary]

I go mini itx because fans are too expensive

[devout forum]

They COULD occasionally be good

Occasionally

[fervent stump]

They are so nice

[craggy shoal]

If you buy NZXT, you're buying the name

[granite estuary]

The truck next to me is leaking transmission fluid

Yikes

[craggy shoal]

They’re not 💀

[tranquil pebble]

NZXT PP-800 PSU from 2009 was like that

[devout forum]

Just get a case with fans included, ez

[tranquil pebble]

it served me well for 10 years before I retired it

[fervent stump]

YES THEY ARE

[craggy shoal]

Send a link

[fervent stump]

Ok wait

[craggy shoal]

Let me roast these NZXT fans

[tranquil pebble]

Do NOT get a case with PSU included. lol

[craggy shoal]

pos fans tbh

[granite estuary]

What do nzxt fans look like

[craggy shoal]

Fans (I could be wrong tbh)

[granite estuary]

I feel like nzxt fell off I remember liking their cases when I was 13 but would never ever get one now

Idk

I’m biased

[fervent stump]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-000Z-00127

[granite estuary]

Damn for real

[devout forum]

I recently began to kinda stan Montech because they fill up their cases with fans (often ARGB ones) at very reasonable prices

[sweet phoenix]

nzxt fans are mid end disguised as high end

[fervent stump]

They are sooo good looking

[devout forum]

I mean it's Chinesium stuff at the end of the day, but it's not bad at all

[arctic jay]

I need a new gpu

[tranquil pebble]

I mounted an Intel cooler on an AMD CPU once. Dont do this, even if you get it to work you might short the mobo.

[devout forum]

It's good enough to get you started and you can always upgrade

[craggy shoal]

My $30 3-pack Lian Lin fans look just like that. My Thermalright TL-S12 fans look better than those 💀💀💀💀

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/L47G3C/thermalright-tl-c12015w-s-52-cfm-120-mm-fan-tl-c12015w-s

[fervent stump]

My goal is to ONE day have 7 NAZT fans and a NZXT aio even if it’s in a couple of months or a long time I just really would like it

[fervent stump]

No they don’t

[fervent stump]

They don’t have the nice logo

[devout forum]

I really wish I can get C12Cs

[craggy shoal]

Guys she wants to represent a massive company 😭

No logo >>>>

[fervent stump]

I really like nzxt logo

[craggy shoal]

I might even try to delogo my whole PC tbh

[devout forum]

@craggy shoal I'mma do something cringe and say it
I prefer all my fans to be from one line of product
Matching RGB shades, they should last the same time roughly

[fervent stump]

Perfect

[craggy shoal]

Cringe

[devout forum]

If the cooler comes with like Cooler Master fans
I'mma get matching fans

[fervent stump]

You are

[devout forum]

Okay no you're fangirling for the absolute worst corp

NZXT effing sucks lmao

[fervent stump]

Yea I like matching fans

[fervent stump]

How??

[devout forum]

They're crap quality upcharging premium prices

[fervent stump]

How are they so bad though

[devout forum]

All looks, no go

They don't have quiet or airflow

Again, all looks and no performance

AND cost an arm and a leg

100% would avoid

[fervent stump]

I’ll get one nzxt fan one day try it and if I don’t like it I’ll return it

[granite estuary]

I think I’ll get a new aio on Thursday

Idk

[fervent stump]

Nice!

[craggy shoal]

I love it when people ask me "what's that?" Rather than "oh nice [insert brand and item here]"

[devout forum]

What you gonna cool with it?

[craggy shoal]

Example:

[devout forum]

Keychron?

Or maybe Wooting

Keycaps are wild tho

[fervent stump]

I get it but it will make me happy

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

[craggy shoal]

I get it but there's much nicer for cheaper lol

[fervent stump]

I just like the logo and the white

[devout forum]

Hell yeah

[fervent stump]

And they will match the nzxt aio in getting ONE day

[craggy shoal]

Not to mention you'll have a lot of people bullying you for buying NZXT lol

[devout forum]

Where the caps from tho?

Cuz THAT is not stock

[fervent stump]

But it will still look nice

[light egret]

why everyone so anti nzxt

[fervent stump]

Idk

[light egret]

They make one bad case and all of a sudden the worlds up in arms

[craggy shoal]

Amazon lol. They’re a dupe of the Higround topography keycaps. I didn’t like the massive "HIGROUND" on the spacebar so I got these

[devout forum]

Fair

I'd probably get a very waifu keycaps set for the meme factor

[craggy shoal]

Also Bsun Pine switches

[craggy shoal]

Could look better and cheaper

Even Lian Li is cheaper lol. I could get a pack of three fans for the same price as one NZXT fan and they look the exact same other than the logo

[devout forum]

AND perform better

[craggy shoal]

There's also building experience. My Lian Li fans at least came with a PWM fan hub so I could connect all of them. Who knows whether NZXT would even include that

[devout forum]

(Sorry the performance freak came out)

[fervent stump]

Can I have a link to yours?

[devout forum]

(for the record I wouldn't buy either NZXT or Lian Li fans, they both overpriced for me liking)

[craggy shoal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fnpzK8/lian-li-st120-6917-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-st120-3w

There are better fans than these too just btw

[light egret]

the only nzxt Item I've ever bought was the AIO with the screen cause I found it on a good sale when mine broke lol plus it's helpful to always have a cpu/gpu temp readout in sight

I swapped out the fans it came with tho

[devout forum]

Could just have a sensorpanel screen and have every info on it TBF

Costs way less and won't kill your PC if it dies

[craggy shoal]

imo, well spent and looks okay is always better than overspent and looks good

[light egret]

I mean I wanted an AIO, I got me an AIO. It was same price as the cheapo one that died on me lol

[craggy shoal]

Like if I just see an all-NZXT build on some Instagram post I already know you're just trying to have your five minutes of fame

[devout forum]

Hey that's fair, good price AIO is good price

[light egret]

before this I just ran HWinfo a lot

but I wasn't running it when my AIO died lol

[devout forum]

Aida64 is honestly best for logging and sensors

[granite estuary]

Idk yet

I may just keep my current one

It’s good

I just may have lost every part of it lol

[light egret]

I've never tried aida, but I like HWinfo. It works pretty well

[fervent stump]

Black logo :c

[craggy shoal]

It's a sticker. Take it off lol

Plus it actually pushes air

[fervent stump]

Nzxt doesn’t?

[craggy shoal]

Doesn't even look that bad

[opaque sedge]

Damn the pcmr guy became conscious jk

[craggy shoal]

In comparison

[light egret]

So 4 of my fans came with my case, and my biggest pet peeve is that the stickers aren't centered. 😠

[sinful blade]

Nzxt tax

[granite estuary]

Itx cases are the best

[craggy shoal]

This goober called me a PCMR guy 💀

[opaque sedge]

That’s a strix gpu…

[fervent stump]

YES

[opaque sedge]

Usually 200 over msrp

[craggy shoal]

CHILL 😭

[fervent stump]

I LOVE STRIX

[craggy shoal]

Nothing else looked good to me plus I didn’t know which 4070 Super to get

[opaque sedge]

Ur not a pcmr guy, those guys are angels compared to u

U deserve to be

[craggy shoal]

I overspent tbh

[opaque sedge]

In the lianli sub

[fervent stump]

4080s strix!!!!!

[craggy shoal]

Fair honestly 💀

[opaque sedge]

No go to your home

Shoo shoo

[granite estuary]

Damn my pc is dusty

[light egret]

so clean it

then come clean mine for me

mine is suprisingly clean for how long it's been lol

[opaque sedge]

I cleaned up my room and closet and it was dusty for days

Guess where all the dust went

[light egret]

to your sinus

[opaque sedge]

My pc sucked it up

I need to clean it tbh

[craggy shoal]

Tbh I could've spent like $200-300 more and gotten a white 4080 Super
