well, kinda
depends, though being hard to remove helps the goal
a virus is really just anything that causes harm to the system, the person owning the system, or the usage of the system or whatever

The problem with viruses is, most of the time, it's not a fault with the antivirus but a fault with the person using it

they put download links in the description. You still need to activate & stuff so it's not some pirated windows it's just debloated https://www.youtube.com/@GHOSTSPECTRE/videos

in the rare occasion that I've run linux I've always used the native app for discord

Itd be fine to get a adapter that goes from the gpu fan header to a normal 4 pin header right?
I have a 3060 that needs a new fan so I was planning on putting a noctua fan on it
velvet summit
I have a 3060 that needs a new fan so I was planning on putting a noctua fan on ...
it would be easier to connect the fan to the mobo imo
theoretically a gpu fan header adapter may work, though it it's not pwm, then you'll have to use a 3 pin fan (non-pwm fan)
actually, i'm not sure if pwm fans work without a pwm signal? if i were to guess, it doesnt?
though it would be more expensive anyways with a pwm version of a fan, and noctua makes non-pwm fans for slightly cheaper
velvet summit
I still need to make the stl for the fan mount
or you could use the classic method of zip ties lmao
wont look pretty though

Thinking about it because I didn't realize how marginal the surface area of a 280mm is compared to a 360mm radiator, especially when comparing a 240mm to a 280mm
And then just adding two more 140mm fans to the 280mm radiator for a push-pull config, I feel it can be close to a 360mm's performance

True but I'm wondering specifically about a push-pull config on the 280mm. Every time I go and look at reviews or comparisons, the reviewer goes "yeah just get a 280mm instead of a 360mm instead of getting a case that supports a 360mm. It's a marginal temperature distance" but none of them have a push-pull config on the 280mm rad
