    Can i smoke in the same room where is pc?

    If you like yellow computer parts, go ahead! My parents have tried quitting multiple times. They've been in their house for nearly 30 years now, and you can tell. The cabinets are all yellow, the paint is yellowing in areas they smoke, it smells like an ashtray, you smell like an ashtray if you...

    What case for RTX 4090 suprim liquid x?

    Oh, no you were right. I didn't see the bracket in that photo before. Looks like it has two screw holes on the bracket, need to unscrew the bracket and use the outer set of screw holes for 120 mm fans to fit, the 140s will have to go somewhere else. :/

    Milo 5 AM4 Build

    Updated the mb firmware from 4.20 to 4.40 (latest supported by this 3400G, and was able to eek another 200MHz out of the RAM (landing at 3600). Just cleared memtest test #9, seems to be good. Also set the iGPU to a manual oc at 2GHz, 1.1V, but haven't tested stability yet. Leaving the Arc gpu...

    Oh, msi got some swag as well: Unfortunately, it's on a separate magnetic plate, with a goofy "G" cutout for the fins. Still pretty nice, though. MSI Gaming RTX 4070 Super 12G Gaming X Slim MLG Graphics Card https://a.co/d/hJj3chA

    What case for RTX 4090 suprim liquid x?

    They're 180 mm fans, and he can move them from the front to the bottom. Then he can move one of the 140s from the bottom to the back, and either put one in the front or stuff it in a box somewhere with the other unused 140.

    What case for RTX 4090 suprim liquid x?

    Dunno why y'all are encouraging him to half-ass it. There are brackets that were included with the case specifically to allow the use of 120 mm fans and radiators. Install those, then screw the radiator/fans onto them.

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    It should be fine, doesn't get much simpler than that. They even use a multi-layer PCB -- others might have used jumper wires or no PCB at all...which would be okay, but not great. Technically speaking it's a simple attenuator circuit, the expensive parts are the case (metal) and the POT (has...

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    Schiiiiit (Edit: to elaborate, a pre-amp usually resides right after an input device, to bring it up to line-levels, iirc. It has no place working on audio out of a DAC.)

    KDE neon mkinitcpio replacement

    Looks like you want update-initramfs, specifically update-initramfs -c -k ran as root. That said, I couldn't find official documentation of that command online, so I don't know what those flags do. I found it in a few reddit posts when searching kde neon and generate initramfs. Maybe run with...

    What case for RTX 4090 suprim liquid x?

    The case comes with a couple "rails" that you need to install in order to use the front for 120 mm fans and radiators: Item 5 in the screenshot. I don't think you can use the larger included fans with that bracket installed, but you can move them to the bottom. The manual has some recommended...

    What case for RTX 4090 suprim liquid x?

    Unfortunately it's not a direct comparison, but techpowerup tested the torrent with a 360 mm radiator cooling the cpu and an air-cooled gpu. The Torrent matched or beat the corsair 7000 in most tests. The CPU might run a bit warmer with heat coming off the radiator, but the 4090 doesn't make a...

    What case for RTX 4090 suprim liquid x?

    I wouldn't worry too much about that. Going to be getting plenty of air from the front and bottom, and it should all easily be pushed out the back thanks to all the ventilation available back there. It's maybe not the best case for a 240 radiator, but it's far from the worst.

    What case for RTX 4090 suprim liquid x?

    The torrent's specs say it supports 3x 120 in the front and bottom. You'll have to remove some of the installed fans, but it should work fine.

    Gamers report memory RGB lights are damaging GPU backplates

    I mean, yes, but they're both oxidizing processes. The end result is very similar, just when you are burning something you often remove more than when you bleach something, due to the heat generated in the process.

    Old school 3.5” blower fans

    Should work fine. It won't provide circulation, though -- only suction. Circulation may occur if your case layout works well with that exhaust up front, you won't know that without some modeling/testing.

    BIOSTAR Interactive Introduces the Arc A380 ST Graphics Card

    If you're playing those kind of games you probably have a system that can take a full sized 4070 or 4080 and don't mind paying to get one. If you're considering this card at all you either have some other use for it or you don't mind playing some games at 1080p30 or less.

    BIOSTAR Interactive Introduces the Arc A380 ST Graphics Card

    IMO they're relevant for low profile builds if you don't want to spend $250 to $350 on a 3060 or some quadro/etc card. They provide decent performance at stock and can be overclocked for more. Of course future AMD apus will make them mostly irrelevent there as well, aside from trans/encoding, if...

    iirc it comes close to the 1060 in some games, been a bit since I looked. It gets 100+ fps in furmark on my linux box before it starts thermal throttling.

    Ripping music CD on Nero didn't get 1.4Mbps on FLAC

    FLAC is a compression format, by definition it reduces the bitrate for a given file. But it's lossless, so all the information is retained, it should sound the same. If you want constant bitrate, I think you'll want another format. If you want uncompressed, you'll want WAV iirc.

    You need a data cable, or one that advertizes charging + data. Some charging cables are just that: only charging cables. Beyond that, I think most situations/solutions are covered in the posts prior to yours. If you don't mind listing what all you have tried, you'll probably receive more...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    You probably could, with a better cooling solution, but I bet they haven't figured out a cost effective one which doesn't involve loud fans and forced air.

    Gamers report memory RGB lights are damaging GPU backplates

    I mean, kinda joking. But you might be surprised what a good budget kit from Crucial can do: CT2K8G4DFRA32A, 2 x 8GB, 3200 CL22, passed memtest at 3600 no problem, not sure what it set the timings to though. Must not be too bad, because the test finished pretty quickly. Edit: Tried for 3800...

    New memory runs great, set it at 3200 and it just works (last kit you had to fight just to boot with it). In fact, set it to 3600 and it booted right up with that as well, passing memtest as I write this. Much more than I expected from budget RAM. The Shadow Rock + KyroSheet is doing fantastic...

    That sounds like a lot of the complaints I heard recently, wonder if that's what they were complaining about. I've had other issues which made me switch to Plasma X11 for now, but if not for them I'd prefer wayland as it is generally a better experience, imo.
