    thrasher_565 reacted to thevictor390 in Old School PCs going on sale for a bargain   
    I used a Pentium II laptop in 2006 to do all my homework, and run every game I could fit on its 10 GB HDD (Half-Life was the standout). Even watched torrented episodes of Top Gear.
    The thing is, nowadays those basic tasks can be done with a Chromebook or iPad, there's not too much use for a desktop computer that can barely do the minimum.

    thanks for your answer! 
    Then i will try 1300 at first if not then I go lower. 

    The CPU is put together again and has some liquid metal paste between the chip and the die so not direct die cooling and was made professionally.

    your way over thinning is dont worry about dust it can be cleaned. cats like to sit on top of case. unless you add something to the top that they dont like what i dont no...
    scarf icing cooling for dust is stupid.

    they been saying that for years if you buy this led you will save moeny for a bit but your power bill will just keep going up. ya we save alot of power els were but also crating new things that use power.
     
    there alot of things that just sux power.
     
    if you really want to save power build an off grid house.

    if there dust and dirt on the floor it can be sucked in to the pc well on top it just suck w/e in the air. so long you keep the table clean... but a good case with eazy filters would work fine thow i dont keep track of filters on case these days but alot of them sould be fine.

    ya i dont like msi or coolermaster. even thow msi alot of times has "cool" stuff at the lowest cost...
    as an aio loses water then tubes down would still be the best.
    the clogs was do to improper liquid additive and its a know problem in aios...

    thrasher_565 got a reaction from RevGAM in Where to mount the AIO radiator? .. my findings   
    tubes up vs down was mostly for custom loops because you didn't want to trap the bubble in the rad and try and push it out to the res.
    in a good filled aio wont make a difference how ever some that are not filled right it would be best to have it tubes down and the rad hier then the cpu block so you could trap the air bubble in the rad and not thow the cpu block witch cause problems over time.

    thrasher_565 reacted to IkeaGnome in How much can I sell these parts for, and what should I buy instead   
    It's been closer to $130-$150 for what they actually sell for. Don't go off price on listings, go off of "sold listings"
    rtx 2060 evga ko ultra for sale | eBay
    There's a couple factors going into the price of that card. FE cards will always go for more on the second hand market because there was less of them. EVGA is in that same boat right now. With them not making cards anymore you've got collectors buying up the used market on those cards. MSI cards are going for closer to $100 used on eBay.

    the pwm and tac dont need to hook up. just the power and ground to the pot
    posable some fans might not sping with out a pwm maybe might work by grounding it?🤷‍♂️

    thrasher_565 reacted to RevGAM in Wiring PWM fans to 2 wires   
    Agreed. While I do have some that will start at 5, 6 or 7, many start a bit higher. That said, once it's started, some can be ramped down to a lower voltage, while others pretty much hate going lower than the starting voltage.

    well when all my 560 rads are hooked up it will kick the crap out of any cooeler or aio... and probly take like 3 hours to normalize in temp...😂
    i have a d15 for my 6600k and have a few thrmalright coolers witch is the best i dont no. i have a bequiet tf2, i have a crap thrmltake cooler for my am4 pc so between thows i dont no witch is the best because i cant use all of them on one system. ill have to see what mounts i have for to see if i can mount it to my new pc thow its delided so...and most likey all will thromlthrottle the tf2 is barley able to keep up withe the tr 140mm fan or gt the p12 it thrmalthrottles... probly because its at 1800 rpm well the gt is 2150 rpm. so see witch fan is the best ied have to drop the gt to 1800 rpm. or find an rpm that works with all fans. i dont have a way to test db other then my ear and the 140mm i think is better then the gt i think... but its also bigger.

    how aio cools down depends on how many rads or how big it is, and how much air gets pushed thow it. aios can keep things cooler in short test as it takes longer to normalise the temp. more water takes longer to heat up but also takes longer to cool down. that is why when you do test is not a 5 minit test as the aio will have an advatage thats why test are done atlest 30 mintes when compating aio vs air cooler. all in all it even its self out the pros and cons of both air cooler and aio. aio has expandable cooling well and air cooler all you can do is add a bigger faster fan.

    ok there are 2 people that "like" 3000+ fans you and freeagent...but everyone els dose not.
    your right people hear things differently. some people ware headphones when gaming some are old school and love having a server fan going as they got use to it back in the day. pc were louder back in the day. hdd made nose, cd drive made nose, the 70mm,8mm fan made nose, blower gpus made nose. but we have bigger fans these days that are quiet and still push lots of air. my dad had a thermaltake volcano 9 i think cpu cooler with a hi rpm 80mm fan and also had a metal 120mm fan that was on a toggle switch in front of his case for is athlon 64. i on the other hand had a copper thrmalright cooler for my p4 and i had a blue led 120mm that one led burnd out... back when the wires were raped aroud the fan with a pastic strap. that fan still worked when i build my x58 system
     
    the p4p800 was not my fist mb that was given to me at the time didnt no its value but its like one of the best ocing mb... and i sold it for $20 along with a radian x800...

    ya liking quiet is nice thats what i thought too and why i spent moeny on a case's well my dad said it was a wast of moeny. thow hi did buy a $300 aluminum case back in the day.
    once we water cooled fans stayed at 800-1200 rpm. but they were set up when you game they ramped up and at idle the were quiet.
     
    you can see .the rad fan in the pic they gray ones were all the conetors together and the pwm and tac to the mb and power from psu.

    no one cares about anything past 2150 rpm unless its quiet say under 20 db. ya you can get some 10k delta fans for like $20 with 400 cfm...and have the nabors call the cops on you for a nose complaint...
