    Its the next evenly dividable number buy 24 (cinema fps) after 120 It also gives you an even number of frames per eye for 3D when the movies at 24 fps per eye (3 repeats per eye) i.e. evenly dividable by 48.

    My Take
     
    Personally, I like the price drop, but with out evil™ DRM™™ regulating the play back device to check its screen size, how is the purchasing going to work properly the way he proposes? 
     
    As if they didn't put evil™ DRM™™ on it, you could abuse it, e.g.
     
    "Oh, this film is £7.99 on x store, let me just go on my phone, pay £1.99 for it, then copy it to my PC. Saved myself £6."
      OR   Troll Science version:   - Go to buy film, leave mouse over buy button - Remove monitor from PC giving effective screen size of 0" - Film then becomes free as the screen is 0", purchase it - Plug monitor back in - ??? - Profit - Problem Film Companies? -trollface.png-  
     
     
    Here's my example to help elaborate:
     
    Current film purchasing system:
     - Buy 1080p film on your Phone
     - Sync your Phone with your PC
     - 1080p film can now me played on your PC and your Phone in HD
     - Paying for an increase in picture quality is understandable and acceptable, as you are getting a tangible benefit to parting more money. I.e. SD to HD.
     
    Proposed film purchasing System:
     - Buy 1080p film on your Phone for £1.99
     - DRM blocks you from watching on anything but a (say your phone has a 5" display) a 5" phone/device
     - You then have to purchase the exact same 1080p film but on your PC, you now you've bought the same thing twice, but also...
     - Oh, you bought a new monitor? What's that, its a 23" and your old one was 22"? Too bad, buy it again / upgrade to 23" version for the exact same 1080p film
     - Hopefully you get my point, yada, yada...
     
     
    I suppose its following the same train of thought/mentality that many, many people seem to have, that: screen size = better quality. The amount of people I've had to tell that their TV is not better than say, my pc monitor because its bigger, E.g. their 720p 32" plasma is not better than my 24" 1200p IPS monitor because its 'bigger'. 
     
    Or
     
    When people are buying graphics cards and deciding whether to buy it or not on its capability to drive a 32", 45", x" display when, in fact, most of us are trying to explain to them why its not the screen size that indeed matters but the resolution. Then subsequently trying to explain what resolution is, then after that doesn't work getting the model number for the TV to check ourselves, then when given the answer "oh I don't know, Panasonic 32" in black" ... you catch my drift. (and yes, I was narrating that question with you guys in mind, as I'm sure we've all been there. Ha, fun.)
     
     
     
    In its proposed state, in my opinion, its not going to work. Personally, the way that it is currently measured (on resolution, SD, HD, Full HD, Beyond HD, 4K, etc...) is a sensible structure, but does need a price drop. And cinemas, get out of 'ere charging £15/ticket, that certainly needs to change. nutters.
     
     
    I'd love to hear @LinusTech 's opinion on this on the WAN show. =)

    CountPC reacted to DavidL.Roth in Two 120mm case fans to GPU   
    Okay, I tried it after getting confirmation of safety from Scythe and (second confirmation) from Gigabyte.
    Mixed feelings.

    All the stuff needed:

     
    Assembled:

     
    I got lucky with this screw since I could fit this small screwdriver through that small opening:

     
    For the last screw I had to sacrifice this screwdriver and bend it with pliers:

     
    Success:

     
    Scythes sure look cool:

     
    I used steelwire to bend the clips holding the fans in place. It's called piano wire in my country, don't know about USA and other places, it's extremely hard to bend and cut, and is kind of "springy" (not ordinary steelwire):

     
    Looks good enough to me, not ghetto:

     
    Done. I just need to cut those cables short and do some soldering (or zip tie them neatly):

     
    Now for the noise and temperatures.
    Idle noise is same as with the stock fans, although there is small clicking sound with the Scythe fans running at low speed.
    But it is almost absent and I think I could get rid of it by putting something dampening material between the fans and the radiator.
    Note that my PC is quieter than the Logitech subwoofers (sitting next to it) electric buzz when it's on (god damn silent), so the clicking is not loud at all.
     
    I played DayZ Standalone 1080p everything maxed out about 20 minutes.
    Temperature maxed out to 64 degrees celsius.
    Hell of a lot better than with the stock fans.
    Sadly the noise level was not that silent (primary reason of the mod). Maybe it could be because the GPU controls these fans the same way they control the stock fans (not knowing they are 120mm)?
    Also there is bulk of air pressure lost to the side of the GPU where the fans overhang it.
    But the noise was low hum instead of that whiny noise what stock fans make. But it was not quiet.
     
    Also played Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad for about 15 minutes.
    This is not nearly as demanding game for PC as DayZ SA.
    Max temperature was 55 degrees celsius, everything maxed out 1080p.
    With stock fans the temperature rises fast to 71 degrees celsius, this was huge improvement.
    I have to say that with this game the fan noise was quieter than with the stock fans.
     
    I will be considering buying that Prolimatech MK-26 Black, it might help with reducing fan RPMs.
     
    Also, I'll try to test MSI Afterburner for controlling the fan speed.
     
     
    So what do you guys think?
