    tropton13 reacted to Corsair Nick in Which fans for my Corsair H100i   
    The ML RGB fans included with the H100i Platinum actually really perform well, and are considered our current flagship fans.  The standard setup should be sufficient for cooling your setup even with an overclock.

    You really don't need any thing else other than the stock cooler to OC the 2600 and if you were looking for silent operation you should have got an actually good cooler like a Dark Rock 4.
     
    AiO's are just for the looks/aesthetics, they don't really perform all that great and are much more prone to fail than good old air coolers... not to mention you're always paying about the double for the same level of performance you could be getting from air coolers.
     
    so I'd just consider returning it while you can... if not nad you wanna use it doesn't matter what fans you'll use the performance will remain the same only the noctuas are supposedly a little bit quieter.

    i personally dont like lg devices due to issues in the past with some personal devices.  the v40 tho is a underrated device as most people say.  i would say if you plan on watching that content with a decent pair of headphones then maybe i would consider it but otherwise i would look into some other options like the s9/s9+/note9 or even the oneplus 6t

    We shall see how it all shakes out.  Obviously there are legit uses and much shadier uses of this info.  We'll have to see where that vague line is drawn.

    So you would think that a mobile carrier NOT selling your location data to a third party would be, shall I say, an industry standard.  Well, it's not.  Not yet anyway.  Verizon has announced that it will no longer sell its mobile users location data to any third party intermediaries, according to The Associated Press.  They are the first in the industry to end this practice since it was uncovered by Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D) that a company that purchased such information wasn't verifying if its users were legally allowed to track cellphone users while using their service.
     
    In a letter to carriers and the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), Wyden stated that Securus Technologies, the company in question, "wasn't actually verifying if those documents were legitimate,  Securus did not conduct any review of surveillance requests."
     
    Two headline instances of such misuse of this information: 1) A Missouri sheriff was charged with illegally tracking 11 individuals without warrant or court order; with information obtained from Securus. 2) LocationSmart, one of the two companies that purchases user location information directly from Verizon, was leaking real-time location data of customers from every major U.S. carrier, during a free demo tool on its website.  
     
    Verizon is the first major U.S. carriers to end this practice and they were applauded by Sen. Wyden for doing "the responsible thing and promptly announced it was cutting these companies off. 
     
    It is frightening to think that the other U.S. carries did not follow suit.  We shall see if any do.  If you are at all concerned about your location information being sold to a third or even second party, I would bring you concerns to the attention of your individual carrier or local state or U.S. congressional leader.  There are legitimate uses for your location information (ie real time traffic information and law enforcement uses, when the proper warrants and/or court orders are obtained).  The more people that speak up to have regulations put in place, the safer our information will be.

    Your PC seems great. If anything (and if you game a lot/want to have the best experience possible), upgrade your GTX 1060 to a GTX 1080 or 1080TI. If you're content (and I would be! That's a great machine you got there), save your money! Maybe start looking into basic personal investments that you or your children (or family) can use later on in life!

    Looking to upgrade that rig of yours to the newest generation of Intel cpus?  Well, you may be to wait a bit.  Due to the high demand (specifically for the "K" series chips) of the processors, e-retailers and brick and mortar stores have found there shelves "decaffed" of Intel's newest flagship.  
     
    http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-coffee-lake-shortage-cpu,35632.html
     
    When reached out to for comment on the shortages, Intel responded: "The 8th Gen Intel Core desktop processors and systems are on sale globally. We’re actively working with our retailers to fulfill strong interest from customers on the i7-8700k SKU."  As for the shortage of non-K SKUs, Intel is looking into the matter and should have a response soon, according to the above article from "Tom's Hardware".

    I haven't used Reaper much, but from what I know it's solid. I started with logic 9 then switched to Cubase. I like Cubase, it was easy to figure out. Mind you I only did recording and mixing as a hobby, but Cubase is a solid program. As for mixers... sorry can't really help there

    Reaper is drastically bet in my opinion since pro tools can only do so many channels so cant be used for surround audio. (i know theres a mod but its stupid and doesnt work well and for some reason hollywood still uses it but there idiots)

    A cheap digital desk with a usb card added would work well. Behringer X32 line is probably the cheapest decent desk. The compact has a decent amount of faders and is pretty small, and still has the scribble strips and a decent size screen
