Platypus_90 reacted to ashypanda in Add an internal bluetooth adapter to a laptop?
that card won't work because all wireless cards are M.2 now, something like an intel 8260 would work and they are super cheap.

Platypus_90 reacted to ashypanda in m.2 wifi adapter in PCIe 3.0 slot adapter card
it'll work, as most full size PCI-E wireless cards are just mini PCI-E or M.2 cards on an adaptor, with a tin can over them.

Platypus_90 got a reaction from 0ld_Chicken in How relevant AIO/custom water cooling is if your ambient temps are around 40 degrees
Thermodynamics are a b****. But I have to backup Mr. Tech-Tips. Yes the heat capacity of a water cooler might be bigger than the heat capacity of a metal cooler, BUT any pc cooling will submit the same amount of energy to its surroundings, in this case cpu heat, given some time (i.e. a gaming session), because that's the Energy you add to the system. Also the radiator of a water cooling system is still made of aluminium/copper. its conducts heat just as well as an Aircooler, but has a much bigger surface area. Which is why it transports heat more efficiently from the cpu to the air, using the fluid, leading to a lower delta t.. I don't know how clear that is, English is not my first language. Also pumps are not a big factor, a d5 pump at 12V adds about 10W (going by the datasheet) of heat to the system, in part through the pump housing and in part into the loop. That's not very much.
A lower delta t is what you're looking for.. so an AiO with a big surface rad is a good idea to keep your cpu cool as can be. But it wouldn't do you much good

If you have rubber grommets or holes that go through to the rear I/O, just do what I did with a regular USB 2.0 cable, to keep your front I/O

Download MSi Afterburner and set a custom fan curve to escalate as heat comes.

Platypus_90 got a reaction from Reem1kTechTips in Seaeching for a budget cpu
If you can get a good deal on a FX-6300, take it. Although maybe even an 8350 thats thrown out atm. I believe its good enough for 1080p, but know that if you want to upgrade, it's a dead end. Maybe try to get an extra SSD to run your OS from, that will make much more difference in the quality of life department. There's an Adata SP 550 with 120 GB for 50€ on the site you mentioned. I think that would do ok. Keyboards and stuff are a bit overrated, so if your budget is really tight, get cheap stuff. You need the funds to go into your Hardware. The 30€ saved on the GPU with 1050ti rather than RX 470 can go into the SSD.
