  1. Yeah I could improve cable management to not block airflow. Thanks for the suggestion.
  2. Yeah its fine but I would prefer it to be cooler. At idle atm my cpu is running at 42C and my gpu is like 53C.
  3. So when I built my pc last year I didn't really think it would run very hot. I picked an r9 390 and used an i5-4440 I had. I was using the stock cooler for a good amount of time until about a month ago when I bought a Corsair h60 AIO for my cpu. I also bought another fan. I am using an Fractal Design Define r4 which is a good case besides I can't fit my AIO in the front because the tubes aren't long enough :(. I recently reconfigured the fans to hope to get better airflow and not sweat when playing a game. I currrently have 2 140mm Fractal Design fans, one is on the bottom of the case near the power supply and the other is in the front. I have both of my 120mm Fans attached to my aio. The problem is it just runs way to hot for me. Underload my cpu gets to like 55C and my GPU sometimes reaches 80C. Is there a way I can improve cooling by maybe moving the aio or rearranging the fans? TL;DR: I have an Corsair H60 cooling my cpu with 2 120mm fans on it and I have 2 140mm intake fans. Need help rearranging them and improving the cooling of my system.
  4. So I don't really know about my current wifi card. Speccy says it is just a 802.11n Wireless LAN Card. It has been decent but it is slightly unreliable. Might just be the router. Also powerline sounds nice but it can be a tad bit pricy.
  5. So recently I have gotten into PUBG and it has been really fun. The only issue (besides being a noob) I have is my connection. In certain games I get a network lag display every 5 seconds and it really sucks. I am looking for a better wireless card below 20 dollars. Ethernet just isn't an option since the router is downstairs and routing that would be insane. I currently am using an older wifi card I got when I bought my old prebuilt back in 2013. It's fine for watching videos but streams and the occasional game are horrible. An suggestions?
  6. So I just watched a shorter review of it and it looks to be a little better. You have more ssd mounts which I probably won't need but who knows. The cable management clips look pretty useful and easy to use especially since I rather suck at cable management and some other features like more space for an AIO and a better dust filter. I do like the look of this one more because of the tempered glass. It looks pretty good especially since it appears to be only 20 bucks more.
  7. Interesting. Just wondering is there any real difference with the elite version?
  8. Yeah kind of forgot about that sorry.
  9. Yeah kind of thought about that. They look really good plus appear to be a lot smaller. Also cable management would be a lot better since it has a basement.
  10. So I originally built my PC back in June of last year. Now I wasn't really expecting my case, Fractal Design Refine r4, to be this big. Its fine and I do have the space its just that I kind of want to put it on my desk instead of on the dusty floor. I have a regular atx motherboard, atx psu, 2 HDD, Radeon r9 390, and a stock intel cooler on an i5-4440. I would really like a smaller case to put on my desk and just look better. I hate how clunky and big this case is plus I can't stare at the insides of my pc. Preferably something with a glass side panel so I can add leds and a nice cooler when I have the spare cash. Budget doesn't really matter at the moment but I would prefer something cheaper so I can buy a nice looking cpu cooler and some leds. I would like to keep all my parts too since it is less than a year old and is still running perfectly fine. TL;DR: Need new smaller case for atx motherboard, keep it cheaper and preferably with a glass side panel.
  11. Okay thanks everyone I am looking at Newegg and everything is looking to be cheaper than Amazon. I now regret buying from Amazon when I built my PC in June.
  12. Yeah good point. I will look on Newegg for other parts. I mainly just want the parts to come at once so I don't have a half built pc laying around for the cat to mess with.
  13. That is the reason I am asking. It went off sale and is now like 120 bucks. I am going to be using Amazon I know I shouldn't but for some fucking reason my parents only trust Amazon so there is that. I found this though https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-FC-LGA14C-BX80662G4500/dp/B015VPX190/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487282966&sr=8-3&keywords=pentium+g4560
  14. So my grandparents need a computer in their house for basic internet browsing and word processing. I am going to be using Linux Mint since Windows is expensive AF for a cheap build. That's basically all it needs to do. I just need to figure out a CPU to use that is cheap. Thanks in advance
  15. Yeah I kind of thought it was a little low, I will look into this. I asked about the recommend power before on here and some people said 550 watts was going to be fine.
