    thrasher_565 got a reaction from RevGAM in What are these ARGB logos for?   
    ya $15 is a good range. you can find cheaper. i got a $25 bqsw 4 pro and compared to my other fans they proform about the same... as my tr 140mm fan and gt... the artic p120 didnt do all that good thow... but it cost like $7 a fan so...🤷‍♂️ price to proformace still the best. thow they do have artic p max now...
     
    ya most hire then 2000k rpm fans cost more... just how it is

    its litlry cost them like $1 to make any fan and probably another $1 to add argb/rgb in it. they like pocketing like 90% its like the most profitable pc part out there... thats why everyone has a fan.

    argb/rgb has been a marketing nightmare for the consumer since day one ( back then i was worse from what i heard...) and i got in to argb about 2016...its all crap a cash grab a way in inflate the cost...

    there just a bs logo to tell you that is has rgb. what kinda or compatibility dose not matter... i got scammed on this once i got an saber thooth z270 mb witch had the aura logo on it and thoght it has argb/rgb header... it did not. all it had was a few leds i could change color...
     
    the logo just make you think you have to buy all xxx company argb/rgb logo eco system for all of it to "work with each other"

    no because there things in the game that use more power and use less power...
    if it is peged at 100% that would mean a big bottle neck were the gpu cant keep up.

    thrasher_565 got a reaction from RevGAM in One myth down.. more to come..   
    heat gose in the the past and like any thing that needs cooling its all about surface area. too thicc and the heat wont tansfur fast enough and heat soke. too thin and it get too hot and also not cool. its been proven that more presher on the cpu the better the cooling but increase the risk of braking something. cpus are not flat nore is the blocks as there made cheaply. can you lap the cpu and block ya but times you dont see much performance its not like the athon 64 days... gn gave up on this and had come to the concussion that there too many variables to control when your talking 1 degree or less between past... 🤷‍♂️
     
    i dont see the point in arguing over 1c... imo
     
    but like most coolers you bottom out on a plastic stop so its guod n tite 😉

    thrasher_565 got a reaction from kb5zue in GPU never stays 100% in any game   
    you dont want 100% as that means there a problem but 95% is good. and because the cpu is doing work taking away from the gpu.
     
    some games you can lock it at an serten fps but you have to have more then that fps. so say you want 60 fps locked you need like 100 fps or something. but fps jumping around means nothing. as long as your not geting lag spikes then who cares what fps you have.

    thrasher_565 reacted to seanondemand in Who is going to see the solar eclipse?   
    There’s a couple reasons - biggest one is that the distance from the moon to the earth, and the earth to the sun, are actually always changing, and the closer the moon is, the longer the period of totality. It also depends on where you are on the globe - the moon is only going to sit in front of the sun for a certain amount of time, so the closer that time lines up with where it passes over your area, the longer it’s going to appear.

    hey this is my build log of hooking up consoles to a tv and the things to do and dont along the way. thing will be update and thing have happen that i didn't take a pic of. but when things are done ill get pics.
     
    consoles:
    nes famicom top loader: (with custom svideo/rca cable) svideo not working so its running composite
    why a famicom top loader? it has a multi out port. i have 2 dog bone controllers for it one im tying to make wireless with 8bitdo mod kit (battery cable too short...) aslo got a oem nes controller wireless 8bitdo kit with transparent orange buttons. will have 1 wired oem nes controller and dogbone.

    i want to do mods to it like i got a 50mm fan for it.
    have a transparent orange wired controller and a orange shell swapped waive bird witch i need to cut slots in to still and swap the reserve shell over.
    i do have a media cd so sd card reading for a few emulators but meh.
     
    Sega genesis model 1 non hi def : with 75 Ohm Gold Plated AV Cable 4 Sega Genesis Model 2 + Model 1 Adapter, Retro Frog running composite might be an svideo out there i dont no🤷‍♂️
    got a wireless 8bitdo controller and a few wired controllers
    want to get the smoke shell for it but its costly...
    has mega ever drive
     
    Ps micro: with oem svideo cable
    have a brook wingman ps2 convertor to use my transparent orange ps3 controller i think not tested yet.
    i no there is a orange shell for the og ps but also cost alot atm
     
    Ps2: fat with hd component cable
    i have a transparent orange case but that system was broken and i gambled for a working one but got the wrong model...🤷‍♂️ so ill have to buy another one... i got the better quality one thow so...
    i also have a ps2 slim also with a transparent orange shell but that too is broken and wrong model...🤦‍♂️
    also have a transparent orange wired controller
     
    og xbox the first xbox: a cheap component for now looks like there 2 good cable to buy but cost a bit but they all cost a bit so...
    has transparent orange shell
    no other mods done to it
    got a brook wingman xb2 with usb adapter to use a wireless controller with it what atm dont no.
    ya i no there a transparent orange controller dont no if ill find one...
     
    Wii: got a oem component cable for it
    it has a clear shell one it as well as a mod chip the wood thing w/e it was called...
    also have a black one i might play around with mods on it.
    i have a clear wii mote and an orange wii mote also have a oem orange rubber bumper for it...
     
    wiiu: hdmi
    i have a clear wii mote and an orange wii mote also have a oem orange rubber bumper for it...
    yellow metal cover for the pad
     
    xbox 360: hdmi
    have a orange shell controller
    i do have a water block for it...
     
    switch: hdmi
    have 2 transparent orange controllers and was putting in rgb...witch is a pita... dont recommend it. joy sticks are broken 🤷‍♂️
    also have a transparent orange back cover
    got a HomeSpot TV Dock with Ethernet dock but its wired how it works so might change it out. i was looking at this one but dont no
     
    switch light gray:
    got a charging dock for it also got a transparent orange shell for it but its alot of work to swap it over so some day i might do it... involves removing the screen with a heat gun (witch i have)
     
    tv: curtis svideo,2 component, 2 composite, vga, hdmi
    would like to find a crt tv.
     
    i was going to hook everything thow a ossc but it added alot of distortion to the sviseo making it look like composite so that was a wast of moeny. i want a retro tink 5x or 4k but ya there vary costly but im in this deep right...
     
    you can buy retro tink 2x with muilty out and it will work with the nes,snes,n64 and gamecube with no lag but that $200 each and there like imposable to fine now... but that would have been the best way if you want to use the original console. there are hdmi nes and snes and i think genisies but there vary costly but so its buying cable so buying/moding a console so...🤷‍♂️ imo a mini nes,snes,genices,ps is the way to go thow they cost a bit these days too and the fakes... eon made an adapter to hdmi for the og xboxs but it made it too dark so might be a new gen? but they too cost like $200
     
    most consoles can be modded for rgb or hdmi but they too cost a bit. and its a waiting game on ebay looking for a deal.
     
    original plan was to put all the consoles in 2 server racks and use hdmi cable to an auto switcher but the cable are junk and add way too much input lag so a wast for $200. building in the server rack also became a pita as ow there alot of cables so i just got shelves.
     
    today i got a Kramer 8x8 S-Video Audio Matrix Switcher VS-808YC seems to work except for the nes...
    still need a way of hooking all the audio up.
     
    for the component its hooked up to 2 extron sw4 aw witch im looking to get a 8 or 16 crosspoint that can also do audio but it works for now.
     
    for composite its hooked to an sima svs 4d my nes and sega genesis for now also has 4 svideo but dose not look vary good i think its dying... 
     
    i have a legend le316r (with box) witch works with svideo and 2 component but only has 4 svideo
     
    myTouchSmart Wireless Programmable Outdoor/Indoor Digital Timer with Remote for power on and off only works with one per house any more would get you more remotes and base but will be on the same timer...
     
    for power atm i just have a big TROND Surge Protector Power Bar but i want to have on/off power for each console so im looking at something like this.

    thrasher_565 got a reaction from Ralfi in Request for help with cooling   
    they are plenty long you just need to rotate the fans to have the cables closest to the mb same with the back fan. the case has a hole at the back top left corner you can stick em thow that. the cpu fans also should have a hole above in the case.
     
    you can put fans on the bottom too as intake

    most times the copy cat case cost more then the orignal so most times its w/e but i seen some cheap 011 case thow probly improve on the orignal not having a 120mm fan...in the back and they have the corner less front. but you get what you pay for.
