    GauntletV2 got a reaction from Another_Blood in best corsair fan   
    SP - Static Pressure.  These are technically optimized for radiators, but the recent consensus is that they're just way more versatile in general.
    ML - Magnetic levitation.  Instead of the normal ball bearings on fans, these use magnets for (theoretically) no friction
    LL - Low noise.  Optimized blades, etc.
    AF - Air flow.  These are technically the opposite pair to SP fans, and are to be used for everything thats not a radiator, but it really doesnt matter between the two if your aim is just general air flow.
     
    Quiet addition, flow addition, pro literally are marketing terms, just ignore them.
     
    I personally use ML120 fans in my case, and its just for general airflow.  Id recommend them.  I keep them at 50% rpm and with headphones on, theyre not really audible.

    GauntletV2 got a reaction from Mike Soda in uBlock Origin Whitelisting Questions   
    So if you click the Ublock origen icon on the top of the browser, it offers a few different options, they should be "element zapper" and "element picker".  You can use these to pick and choose what is and isnt shown on a webpage, and then iirc it should remember those choices between opening and closing

    Off the shelf 240 AIO's perform about as well as beefy air coolers like the NHD15, a 120 AIO is on par with mid tier coolers like the hyper212 and nhd14, so i can only imagine that an 80mm would be crap

    GauntletV2 got a reaction from Pachuca in Custom loop/iquid cooling: is it worth it and a few other questions   
    I used a 120 AIO. Currently the temps are similar, but its must more "sleek" this way, which is what I wanted. If you plan to OC, then you would want 240 rads for both the cpu and gpu, or, as it sounds, a 360 and a 120.

    GauntletV2 got a reaction from Pachuca in Custom loop/iquid cooling: is it worth it and a few other questions   
    Okay, so I just finished up my first custom loop build, and here's what I can say:
    1. I have a 240 for both a cpu and a gpu, and while it is okay, I would wholly recommend you use a 360 rad like you said you can.
    2. Buy extra tubing, you will fuck up
    3. Distilled water is $1.00 at your local grocery shop, primochill tubing comes with a bio nuke, but if not, pick up PT nuke to keep your system bio free
    4. For the aluminium loop, EKWB just released an aluminum kit if you so choose, heres this one https://www.ekfluidgaming.com/ek-kit-a240g 
    5. Here is the parts list I made prior to my loop, I'd use it as a guide imho https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XQs4-VchN2TjPXgYb-tfbxNJm67LgFNTyLS2RyaYbEA/edit?usp=sharing

    GauntletV2 got a reaction from Rmlk2ei in Does League of Legends supports 21:9 natively yet?   
    Those are non equivalents.  Native support for 21x9 would mean more vision and potential for people with those monitors.  As for 60hz vs 144hz, no casual gamer below diamond is really good enough anyways to make use of it.

    Ultra strong velcro tape?  It will black out the edges, seal the connection and hold you window on without issue.
     
    You'd also be able to take it off for maintenance

    GauntletV2 got a reaction from TheKDub in Linus/Intel Youtube ad   
    So, I'd love to know if im in the wrong, but I was fine with most everything Linus did as far as staying neutral between companies. However, there is now a YouTube ad where Linus speaks about why gamers and enthusiasts watch his content, plastered in front of Intel branding and adverts, and for me this crosses a line.  I have no doubt that Linus will remain unbiased, but it raises a sense of uneasiness for me.  I know Linus had talked about his partnership with his companies before, and how they should expect even-handedness and criticism if they make a shit product, but this ad to me comes off as Intel trying to buy up word of mouth with a tech-review company, and its comes off as truly biased.

    You can use something like SpeedFan to control the fan speeds on given motherboard headers based on the temps the components you want to monitor.

    why the 1800x? Id personally get a 1600x for gaming, about the same perforamnce in games.
     
    Id get a gtx 1070 or 1060 instead of a 580. Its hard to get a 580 for the msrp now and most are out of stock.

    It supports up to a 360mm radiator at the top and gpus up to 310mm, so yes it will fit with 20mm of space to spare

    Lets be honest, you knew this answer coming in...NO.  For straight gaming, it equivalent, and unless youre encoding videos consistently or do ing something else to use all 8 cores/16 threads, its not worth it.

    GauntletV2 reacted to JoostinOnline in Windows 10 Ram pinned above 50% usage   
    That's really weird.  It should be at the recommended amount.  Manually set it to 2926MB and reboot.  Then switch it back to system managed and reboot again.  Hopefully that will reset it so it doesn't waste a ton of storage.  You could also just leave it at manual if you want.
     
    As for your RAM issue, it's probably Windows itself.  Try opening Resource Monitor and sorting memory by Working Set.

    Why are you looking at either of these? How much do you have to spend, should you spend all of it? If you give me some wants, there are better options, remember, hd4400 graphics can run csgo at medium settings at 60fps

    Depends what your resolution is. 1080? Youre definatly good. 1440p? you'd probably have to lower your settings to medium by then, but is that worth it to you, i think it is.
