A new side panel exhaust and M.2 screws for the mighty sleeper. It's a lot quieter than it was with the 212 EVO fan, and now the SSD isn't held down by electrical tape and VHB. Really love how the Pure Wings 3's look, something about the boxy frame is just hot.

Regardless of the version of iOS or watchOS whatever device is running, no matter how you split it the iPhone 8 will be 7 years old this year. That is an absolute eternity in technology time, and realistically it's due for a replacement at this point even if it does do whatever she wants just fine. insert smartass comment about consumerism here

How would they have known? that's a post from 3 and a half years ago and they couldn't search it up because they didn't know what it was

This defo isn't replacing my normal PC even though it currently sits where my PC resides, frankly I'm not sure where it's gonna end up. It DESPERATELY needs a Pure Rock Slim 2, the 6700K sits at 95-100C... In TF2. At some point I'm sure I'll be able to afford it but that time is not now.
 
Specs: Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.2GHz, 4x8GB G.SKILL Ares 1866MHz CL10, ASUS Z170M-E D3, 128GB Team MP33, 1TB Seagate Barracuda, 320GB Samsung Spinpoint (for video capture), MSI GTX 970 100ME, EVGA 650G1, Windows 10 Pro, HP Pavilion a6137c case
 

Another easy step I'm surprised nobody else mentioned: just try rebooting your router. My Nighthawk R7000 used to have a thing where once a month it'd drop to 100Mbps and I'd have to reboot it to get back up to 1Gbps.

Now that my 1070 is retired, I finally got replacement fans for it. Up until now it's just had a pair of 92mm Sensflow fans strapped to it.

PWM splitters should always omit the RPM signal on all but the "primary" fan. It serves no purpose and I'm sure it would absolutely piss the motherboard off.

On Windows? Not really. I see tons of PCs come in of varying age ranges with (typically) 4, 8, and 12GB configurations. The 4GB ones are always DOG slow, even though some of them are only a year or two old and would otherwise be fine with more RAM. 8GB (or I guess technically 6GB, but that doesn't exist with modern desktops or laptops) is really the lowest one would want to go, especially with Windows 11.
 
Modern Windows 11 tries to idle at like 4-5GB depending on how much shitware there is. When I got this laptop, after everything was settled in and it had time to calm down the lowest I ever saw RAM go was 5.2GB, and after a clean install of 11 I managed to shed anywhere from half to a full gig on that, depending how it feels that particular day.
 

Now that's a size difference I didn't expect.

Yup, just make sure you bend the wings back out otherwise they're not gonna stay in. 😉

You can just push the pins out and rearrange them as you need to. Done it a million times to those damn Dell 5-pin fans.
