  1. Anyone skilled in video intro creation? I would like one for my GoPro Karma footage. More info in PM, thanks

  2. Want to optimize my airflow, looking for tips - Case is Define R6, available fans are 3 Noctua NF-A12x25PWM on H150i CLC and 4 Noctua NF-A14s (140mm) - what would be the ideal fan placement?

  3. Yesterday I did a fresh install of Windows 10, installed all my programs, did the whole file association thing (like open .mkv in VLC etc.) and ever since then I have been getting notifications that “An app caused a problem and the file association for .xxx has been set to default”. Anyone have an idea why this is happening? Never happened before. And before anyone asks, yes, mi Win10 is genuine.

      Had it once but reinstalling the Program fixed it for me.

    A friend of mine told me to also put something on the top of the case, just so it is not empty but that would create negative pressure and I dont want that
  5. Is it enough for airflow to have 3 intakes in front (Noctua NF-A12x25PWM) and one rear exhaust (Corsair LL140)?? Case is Define R6

      I guess you’d have to test if the one exhaust and positive pressure can exhaust the hot air enough

      I have three slowed down AF120 on front and one fan that exhaust through rad on the back and no problems so far. :)

  6. Yeah, already thinking about replacing them. Thanks for the help
  7. Idling they sit at roughly 700RPM, once the CPU hits 70C or more, they spin at max, which is 1500RPM and the fan curve is set on the CPU package temp - all set and done via Corsair Commander and iCUE
  8. It was a Realbench stress test. I know 83C is not that alarming, but it is cooled by a 360mm AiO... I have seen people achieve lower temps (75C) while on air or 240mm AiOs at same OC. And I wasnt attempting a higher OC, I bought this CPU from a local retailer, similar to Silicon lottery, that guaranteed a stable 5.0Ghz, so I am not pushing past that.
  9. What fans would you recommend for the front intake? And I am not concerned with GPU temps, interestingly they only get up to 62C while benchmarking and that is while mounted vertically.
  10. All my fans are Corsair LL series.
  11. Sadly, the R6 cant fit 3x140mm at the front
  12. Hello, everyone looking for tips on how to properly set up fans in my Define R6. Currently, I have it like this - 360mm AiO at front as intake, 2x140mm on top as exhaust, 1x140mm rear exhaust. I think, that because I have bigger fans as exhausts than intakes, I have negative pressure (I notice dust build-up over short periods of time) Would it be wise to do it like this? - 3x120mm in front as intake and move the AiO on top as exhaust, and leave the rear empty, thus creating balanced pressure? I want to try the AiO at the top, because I am seeing higher than usual temps on my delidded 8700K (5,0Ghz@1,35V) - under load 83C Thank you for all your ideas/suggestions Have a great day!
  13. Anyone interested in 10TB WD Reds? I have four of them - CDI-> https://imgur.com/a/iPxKC

    Price is 250USD each. Dont have heatware, but I have 32 confirmed trades on Reddit.

      Heatware is required on this site. Sorry :( 

       

      Definitely recommend throwing this in the Hot Deals section

    Oh, dont remind me, I also wanted to upgrade to 32GB, but 450€ is kinda out of my budget

    Hello? It’s been a while

    Ayy, @Frankie How are you? Any changes in your setup? Mine has changed significantly

    Well, it is a Corsair Air 240 and the GPU is MSI 1070 Armor and modding would require to cut in the rear of the case AND the whole length of the side panel and since this is for a colleague, I will rather take the GPU back to the store and have it replaced for an EVGA 1070
  23. That moment, when you're building a PC and the GPU is too freaking wide for the case...
