Agreed on the industrial fans. Only interested in their 3k model. The other noctua fans are whatever. Plenty of fish in the sea. I do like their 5v fans for rpi/ 3d printer projects.

I couldn't care less about customer service tbh. I have never had to contact service over a fan or an air cooler. And I've bought a very large quantity of fans over the years from many different makes and models. I bet most people buy Noctua still because "it's the name brand" and don't...

That's what WoW felt like when I last played....which was BFA. Place was dead after the initial hype.

Nah, spend more money on equal at best performance to show how baller you are :D

You said performance is king. You can do better than noctua lol.

Which others do better. For 1/3 to 1/4 the price.

Except they're not.

I love printing for being able to load up yeggi or something and see if someone made a solution to a problem I'm having. Next up is a phone grip because my thumbs are sore from holding my phone sideways for a game during the past 2 weeks.

Yup. You see them once in a while. You can't base your buying decisions off of them being readily available, that's for sure.

This is why you buy big cases.

Meh. More countries making their own chips is neat. No need to turn it into a political e-peen measuring contest.

Money saved is money saved.

Meh. Game worked fine for me.

With paint...any fan can be white :D

This is why it's important to check what company is actually manufacturing the PSU.

Agreed. Either that or someone who needs to stop tinkering with it.

Yep. Case makers seem pretty good at listing GPU space nowadays. Hell, a good amount of cases can probably be googled to find a pic with the exact GPU in it since so many people post pics. *Edit* Meshify 2 with a larger 4090:

These useless comments are incredibly tiresome. Are you saying people who buy and enjoy AMD gpus this gen are a fanboy?

Bambu is far too anemic for that size. There's few out of the box consumer options. Maybe look at the comgrow t500 or elegoo Neptune 4 max. If one was comfortable building a diy printer I'd build a 400mm Vzbot.

Do they sell somewhere cheaper than PPCS prices because over there it's really not any cheaper than HWlabs depending what is on sale.

Guess I'm not "bro dude hardcore" enough to like...expect out of the box components to function in a stable, non damaging matter (besides lemons) when first installed and booted. Lmao.

This actually screwed me upgrading some laptop ram. The bios had no way for using xmp profiles. Thankfully Kingston makes laptop ram that IS overclocked out of the box for this specific reason. Only time I've ever seen it.

Overclocked ram does come stable out of the box. At least the ones I've bought. You usually have to enable a profile to reach the stated overclocked speed. Nobody is complaining that Intel allows you to go to such high values on their processors. It's the allowing of such potentially damaging...

....what are you talking about? I'm not sure what is so hard to understand that parts should be stable out of the box regardless if they're running at the number on the box or not.

If so that's cool. Idk. I just give everything a flush regardless. Never hurts. Still a nice touch though.

*Shrug* Maybe I'm just lucky then.

Maybe bad luck? Idk. I've bought new ones that only needed a single simple flush like all rads should have done.

These were from a review in 2016 on thermalbench. Had to use wayback machine to find them again. Wish someone would do a new test nowadays... HWlabs at the top almost constantly across fan rpm settings.

Oh yeah, Used rads? All bets off the table for sure lol.

HWlabs makes the best scaling internal rads I've seen. What do you mean by dirty? I have multiple GTR rads and haven't noticed anything.

Alphacool relies on bulk. HWlabs uses better design to get better cooling, especially if you ramp up the rpm. The old gtx line, and nowadays gtr scale like no other the more airflow you toss at them.

Those rads sound sexy. Upload a pic of em :D I'll shamelessly admit I'm a hwlabs fanboy. The GTRs can't be matched.

This. It just simply limps along. Blizz releases get a month tops of talking and then the talk/ threads become barren.

Nothing to show atm :D I stripped it all down into a new case with no liquid cooling, just ain't got the time to do it or even game on it. Strapped an air cooler on the cpu and put the original fans back on the gpu. One of these days.....

Looked interesting, but yeah....I get translations aren't going to be perfect, but including nonsense like "chud" is just dumb and disrespectful.

Idk, at some point it's easy to stop caring how it looks. Just park it under a desk and let it cool :D

If that's the case, bigger the better. More room for airflow, more fans. I have a Lian Li V3000+ and it's a monster.

Only rotaries that leaked on me were a handful out of a bunch I bought on ebay for cheap. Nowadays I just use barbs and clamps. Mostly for cheapness.

Yeah that was covered in my original post :D I still do custom loops, but strictly because I enjoy the hobby. I don't pay EK-esque prices though, all Bykski/ other Ali stuff.

Meh, the extra $20 is worth it if someone just wants liquid. The extra hundreds upon hundreds for custom loops? Nah.
