    You happen to be hiring? I'm in the west 'burbs and needing a new job. lol

    I've got a stocker from my old E8400. PM me your address and I'll throw it in the mail if you want.

    I always run all three.

    It truly pains me to recommend AMD, but: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113367 25 Watt TDP VERY easy to get that thing to go fanless if you want, or I'm sure you could make just about anything fit, since it's AMD's socket, and they're pretty much all the same since forever.

    How many HDDs do you run? You can fit the X61 in the intake (my plan) front of the case. Put the fans in a pull config to keep the noise inside the case. Yeah, you'll lose your HDD racks, but you should be able to keep the optical 5.25" racks to use for your HDDs.

    That monitor's ruined. It's got Nicki Minaj on it.

    Ethelyne glycol (automotive coolant?) will eat most garden hoses. I recommend picking up some automotive grade heater hose. That stuff lasts for years and years, and it cheap to boot.

    I have the Noctua Industrial 140mm 2000 RPM PWM version. Even at full throttle (which moves a TON of air) they're not bad at all. Really. That being said, I have them controlled off my board, and they never need to move past 80%, and they're silent as long as they're under 1500 rpm.

    Shrek would be very disappointed to hear this.

    Worst CPU I ever had was http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103416 AMD Athlon 64. What a fucking piece.

    I'm not saying "none" I'm saying WAIT. Smartwatches are really not everything they can/should be yet. Give it time. Let other people be the beta testers.

    Hey Linus, any chance we can get a list of all the suppliers? Or any chance of putting these on Amazon? I love me that prime shipping. I do appreciate that you went with a high quality manufacturer, rather than teaming up with someone like Cougar. (who already make an orange and black fan, lol)

    Wow. Short sale, apparently. Price is back up.

    I used TowelRoot on my girlfriend's S4 and my Note3. Still working great.

    Still stuck at work.

    I wish I'd have done more research on my PSU. I haven't had any issues, and it IS dead quiet, (main reason I bought it) but I keep hearing nasty things about Corsair PSUs. Also, I bought my GTX 970 precisely 18 days before the OMG 3.5GB OF RAM issue came to light, so there's that. I only game at 1080p, so I doubt I'll have to worry about it anytime soon.

    What Windows OS? If you're still on 7 or earlier, you can run SYSPREP before you do the CPU/Mobo swap. It's worked great for me in the past. I don't know if it's on 8 or 10, so I can't speak for them.

    According to Gigabyte's website, you can. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4992#sp "CPU/System fan speed control"

    Definitely dip the ends of the tubing in boiling water for a few seconds before installing. Makes the tubing MUCH easier to work with!

    My motherboard has the option of leaving the USB ports powered even when the PC is off. My laptop does, too. See if there's an option in your BIOS for this.

    I just got some Noctua Industrials. I HATE the stock Noctua color scheme, so the Industrials are MUCH better. Yeah, pricey. But I picked up the 2000RPM versions so I get a bit of extra speed if I really need it. The mobo controls the speed ramping, so it's never running at 100%. Much happier with these than the old Corsair SP fans I used to have.

    This is why my girlfriend calls me a "Linus Leghumper"

    Same here. Really disappointed that there's no 140mm option.

    Why are there so many air cooling fanbois in the watercooling forum?

    I'm holding off deciding on a phone until tomorrow when the new Nexus phones are announced officially.
