  1. You can just get a fan cable Y splitter and run 2x+ fans off of a single motherboard/etc header. The only limitations are the max current that the motherboard is willing to supply (usually ~1A total) and the fact that only a single fan in that entire arrangement can report back it's RPM and control (via either voltage or PWM) applies to them all as well.
  2. If the GPU doesn't care if its' fan is even reporting as long as it itself isn't getting too hot, just connect the Noctua fan completely to motherboard (or w/e) fan header.
  3. It shouldn't have to be. Hell, you can even give Noctua fans badtouch and control their speed via voltage instead of PWM duty cycle. I'd guess that the Noctua fan is drawing more current than the GPU is willing to push out on the +12V pin/rail. Worst case, you can use just pin 3 (RPM/Tachometer) between the GPU and Noctua fan to report speed, but power the fan (+12V and ground pins) from SATA or "MOLEX" power from your PSU. Hell, there are even little fan voltage -> fan PWM converter things out there than you can stick in between w/e the GPU is trying to give on its +12V pin and the Noctua's PWM pin
  4. iFixit has very cheap (<$5) anti-static brushes that do the trick when canned air fails to provide enough GTFO. I like the wide one.
  5. Perhaps I'm not grasping the complexities, but why not just a RSS feed of URLs to the different quality MP4s for each video, with access restricted behind some variety of authentication (anything from HTTP BASIC to Oauth2)? It shouldn't be easier to automate the pirating of the living shit out of all-the-AV-things via EZTV than it is to support you guys ...
  6. It would be useful to have an option to be able to reply to a topic without loading/viewing the resulting post. This is quite annoying vs. Floatplane Club video topics where I am in the midst of watching a video via the 1st post of the 1st page, come up with a truly brilliant, inspired, insightful reply ("lol linus u suck"; "plz make a video where u seal dennis in that wood crate and leave him in the warehouse for a few days") and get immediately redirected to go look at it.
  7. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of a worthwhile 4k monitor, but, after another round of research today I got fed up with the piles of deceitful crap hardware that are being peddled right now. I posted a(n informative) rant about the current state of things on /r/technology, if anyone cares
