VSTS are virtural instruments/software synths/Mastering tools and effect.If your going that route I would reccomend much more CPU power because Massive and Serum(which are synths) take up a lot of CPU>If yor recording actual physical guitars just get the laptop with the most RAM

Hmm, would a mini-itx be a better idea? It doesn't have to be a laptop, I was just gonna go with one for convenience.

Are you like EDM production with 50 VSTS and all that or like just recording. 

I'm not exactly sure what VSTS is lol, it's not really EDM music, lots of different genres, just wanna make some stuff in DAW, but yeah I'd be recording vocals and some guitar.

Did you update your drivers?

Check the Phanteks site and see if they sell filters, dust is just a natural thing when it comes to desktops man >_< you could probably make a filter out materials from Home Depot. or something, and use some very weak magnets to stick it on. Just make sure the material isn't conductive.

Alllllrighty, so I'm interested in a laptop for DAW stuff and recording, I've never owned a laptop, I've always been a desktop guy, so I need some suggestions. I'd like to keep it around $300 but I can flex. I honestly have no idea how much a laptop for this type of stuff would cost, not exactly sure how CPU intensive DAW programs are on laptops either >_> Thanks, folks.

Exhaust, why would you want to blow hot air into your case?

G3258.

You're gonna need a little more than 400 dollars.

no 80c is as hot as it gets

Okay, but what CPU are you using?

80c is cool? What CPU are you using?

Install from USB drive if you can. Much easier and faster.

You're sick...

a 212 is out of your budget? Save your money for awhile duder.

don't get the 960. get the 380. As to your question I suggest getting the 4gb version of a card. 2gb cards are starting to be not enough anymore.

Which one would you pick?

I have the k70 and I HIGHLY recommend it. I've got the blue switch version with red LED's. I had a hard time finding one that had that setup.

This information hardly helps. I am pretty sure we all went to junior high, or are currently doing so.

I've seen people on this forum that argued with me about hot air rising. Depending on the person, it can help. Why the hostility? 

/thread

front intake top and rear exhaust. hot air rises.

Well how do I mount a different stand diy again and maybe it would work better for me then you depending on the situation thanks @Rusty_Shackleford

Not sure, don't know if you can, idk what happened with mine but it wouldn't screw it, so I super-glued it. Then a family member stepped on the stand and broke it lol.

also, always glad to help everyone on this forum was a big help when I put my rig together, so I'm returning the favor.

I have this PC for half year and it didnt make this until christmas. Can an CPU cooler cause the problem? *WTF

Well, I mean, anything is possible in the world of computers but I doubt it. Since you brought it up, would you mind giving me your idle and load temps?

I have the snowball ice, the mic itself is good but the stand it comes with is a PoS. Only complaint I have with it is it picks up EVERYTHING, my friend can hear what I'm doing outside of my room even with my door shut, so if you have a loud house I wouldn't suggest it. If you have a quiet home, I do suggest it.

Didn't you read that i tried?

Not sure if an integrated sound card can cause this problem but it could possibly be.

would a 240gb SSD better than a 3tb HDD?

Get a SSD for your boot drive and an HDD for everything else. You'll be sooo glad you did.

Sometimes they do just die. If you've not had it long, you can RMA your H100i without too much of a problem. If you want an air cooler instead, the Noctua NH-D15 is worth a look if you don't mind the colour of the fans.

YESH

Pump most likely died. This is why I prefer air coolers.
