Wow, did not expected to be quoted from a post I made 8 years ago. I do remember having to bend the RAM to the side a tiny bit to get the cooler to fit. Worked fine for the 10 years I used the system. I got low profile RAM for my current computer so I didn't have to employ the same method.

I've read a lot of good things about the Zilents, but I can't seem to find a keyboard prebuilt with them that's in stock. I am pretty handy at soldering so if I don't like the switches I end up getting, I could just solder in the Zilents myself. Haven't heard about keychron before. The only one I like the look of is the C2, and they do have it available with browns! I really don't think I could get used to non traditional keyboard layouts. It will take me quiet a while to switch. Maybe one day I'll try one out, but not now. I didn't even see the down arrow for caps lock till you mentioned it! That might annoy me a little bit, but its way better than the whole keyboard being a bad font like the Glorious. I have been looking at aftermarket keycaps, but I want to get a keyboard, try out the switches, and then get some. From what I've seen online the MK is manufacture by Ducky and has a ducky PCB inside. I think its based on the original One and not the One 2. With the price difference being only $30, I might just go for the Ducky. Maybe one day I'll want a bit more color on my desk. I only have the Leopold on my list since supposedly the keyboard is higher quality, but I have never used one so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Varmillo is another brand I was looking at, but I can't find any in stock with brown switches.

After many years with my trusty Corsair K90 I've recently been wanting to get a more standardish keyboard without the "gamer" aesthetic. It also takes up a bit too much room on my desk because of the 18 G keys which I rarely use. My only requirements: - 100% layout, dedicated volume/media keys are a plus - Tactile, non clicky switches. My K90 has cherry Reds, and I also have another keyboard with blues. Really like the feel of the blues, but not the clicking - Backlight is a plus, but not necessary. Don't need RGB, just a white backlight would be fine. So far I've narrowed it down to: -MK Night Typist : https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4295 From what I've read it is manufactured by ducky, but not many reviews that I can find. -Ducky One 2 RGB : https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4283 Only available with Kailh brown switches at the moment, reviews for the switches seem fine. But I've never tried any Kailh switches -Leopold FC900R: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5658 Most basic keyboard, but supposedly very high quality. -Glorious GMMK: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5029 Comes with gateron switches, never used them so no idea how they compare with cherries. Also the font on the keys is kinda ehhh to me. Anyone have one of these and how has it been for you? Anyone have any experience with the kailh and gateron browns and how do they compare to cherry switches? Any other recommendations? I'm willing to spend a little bit more if its worth it.

I do have a couple of boost converters, but I think I will see how well the fans work at 12v before going the boost converter route. IDK if I want a cheap boost converter inside my PC, I've had a couple catastrophically fail on me.

I don't care about aesthetics (I think most people would cringe tearing apart a 3080 strix), but I want the GPU to control the fan speeds so I'm going to either get a GPU fan adapter or solder the fans directly to the PCB.

Hey guys! I am wanting to do a deshroud on my 3080 and I was wondering about what fan to use. I already have a spare scythe kaze 120mm fan and my first option would be to get another one. The only problem is that the kaze has a max speed of only 1200 rpm and I'm not sure if that'll be enough to cool the 3080. On the plus side the fan is super quiet at it's max rpm and quietness is what I'm going for. My other option is to get two Arctic P12s. I know noctuas are the gold standard, but I don't really want to spend $50 on fans. Especially since I have a kaze flex already.

Was this shot on your guys' new blackmagic camera? Those small crops looked a lot more crisp than usual.

Love it when they let Brandon go HAM with the filming.

Look around local thrift stores, I found a set of these for $45. I already have a speaker setup, so gifted it to a friend.

Hey guys! Pretty much what the title says. I'm looking for a program which can tell be the data rate and total data used by specific programs, for example: Chat client, video games, bit ttorrent client, etc. Anything you can point me towards? Thank you!

Your normal speaker system plugs into the wall which is AC. He wants a system that runs from DC. What about getting a 12v to AC inverter? Is that an option for you? You can get a 300W continuous DC to AC inverter for less than $30 on amazon.

Hey guys! So I used to have a 660Ti when I first built my computer, but I sold it because I needed money. And now a little while ago I picked up a used 7970 for pretty cheap so I can start playing games again. The card has a nice open cooler design so the fans are pretty quiet while gaming even with almost a 100% continuously. My CPU has a hyper 212 and the fan is always set to 35%, keeps the CPU cool enough. Case fans are a bunch of cheap NZXT ones, but I have a lot: 2x120 + 1x140 intakes 2x140 + 1x120 + PSU exhausts. I keep all the case fans on the low setting using my case's built in controller so they are super quiet. So with the old 660Ti, I never even heard the PSU, but now with the 7970 the PSU turns up quiet a bit and I can hear it over all the other fans in the system. Since the PSU itself works fine and provides enough power for the system(have had no problems even with max load tests), I don't really want to replace it, I just want to make it quieter. I have seen people doing PSU fan replacements, but I'm unsure what I would replace it with. Opening up the PSU and digging into it is not a problem for me. Any advice? Should I replace the fan? Will it help? If yes, what fan should I get for it? The PSU I am using is a Antec Neo Eco 520w. I made sure to get a good PSU for the system originally, this one is manufactured by Seasonic which from what I know are the best in the PSU market. If I can quieten it, I'll probably just have to live with the noise. Can't justify getting another PSU just for noise.

The SMSL amps will definitely be better, but they are also more expensive. I think the cheapest one is $50 compared to the ~$20 of the Lepai. I would just get the Lepai unless you are willing to shell out $70 for the 50w SMSL: http://www.amazon.com/SMSL-TDA7492-Amplifier-Adapter-Silver/dp/B00A2QLGEQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1456203933&sr=8-5&keywords=SMSL+amp

IDK Why people are saying those things. That amp will be fine. Putting 50W into those speakers would be insanely loud. Get the Lepai if that is all you want to spend. A better amp will be considerably more. The 50W speaker rating is just the max, you don't need an amp that can hit that wattage.

I much prefer speakers. The sound just feels so much more natural from speakers IMO.
