    Even bigger 200mm fans as well.

    two extra-thick 200 x 38 mm

    Oh fuck yeah

     

    Normally most of the "big brand" cases suck (EVGA's for as fantastic of a GPU maker they were had some of the worst case designs) so to see an actually good case come form them (clearly targeting the torrent down to small things like fan hubs and rolling wheels for ease-of-movement) is cool to see.

    I'm still wondering if the "weird" PSU location at top is a pro or a con for my build

     

    Thanks to anyone thatcould share experience with one of those, especially the Torrent!

     

    I'm a few days away from building in the torrent, but I will say this:

    There's nothing weird about the PSU placement in the torrent; in fact if anything it's the standard prior to to 2010 when they started placing them at the bottom for custom PC's. Many OEM pre builts still put them at the top for example. 

     

    That being said, you may find that you need to route the PCI-E cables for your GPU either in awkward or unaesthetic ways due to the length requirements needed. You can get a cable extension, or get custom cables (the route I'm taking).

    Lancool 3 was also on my short list of cases due to the mechanical features and stellar performance. The Antec case honestly feels like a second-rate Torrent in terms of aesthetics and theoretical performance (180x38mm > 140x30mm)

    What am I doing wrong?

    Its whatever nozzle came with the printer. I kept with the creality nozzles still though

     

    Didn't know glow in the dark affected it so much, since I went through a couple kg of that first before removing to white filament

     

    It's all PLA or PLA+ though.

    Glow in the dark is heavily abrasive due to the additives they have to put in to glow.

     

    Moisture does affect print quality. Depending on where you live, your relative humidity could be very high (equator and surrounding sun belts) however 30-50% humidity has not shown to be an issue for my openly stored PLA or ABS. That said, drying your filament might help some or many of these issues. There's a couple of ways you can do this, but the simplest one is using your printer and the box it came in.

    Please someone help me find out why my nozzle and only the nozzle is getting clogged enough that i should change it every couple weeks? Because that does not sound normal

    What material is the nozzle (Brass, hardened steel, ruby, etc) and what filament are you printing with? Some are very abrasive to nozzles such as any glow in the dark variant or carbon fiber.

    I ride a motorcycle most days, we have plenty of brodozers and etc. here in Texas but I don't want to drive one. I am hanging-on to a nearly twenty-year-old small hatchback and some day I will probably have to replace it, but there's just not anything new on the market I'd truly want for basic vehicle duty.

    Yeah, the big 3 have pretty much killed all cars and are focusing on SUV's and trucks because that's what Americans want. 🙄 You can still find some cards in the Japanese/Euro makers, and American cars in Europe ironically. 

    How many fans can I daisy chain together

    So I have a Asus prime b760-plus d4 and I have 8 fans (including cpu cooler) and I’m wondering if I need a rgb hub or if I could just daisy chain them all together and plug into motherboard

    There's a technical answer to this:

     

    Each fan header on a motherboard is able to push out (typically unless otherweise specifed) 1A of power. 

     

    Every fan has their listed amp usage on them. Typically this ranges from 0.15A to 0.4A. You can find this info on the fan motor sticker 

    SP922512L - INNOVATIVE - FAN MOTOR DC 12V 0.16 AMP - NEW | eBay

     

    So, generally speaking you can safely attach 3 fans to one header. Beyond that, you'll need to invest in a fan hub to get the amount of fans you want all controlled by one header.
