  1. I'm flattered but none of those things are (sadly) true. In fact, my case is even a bit heavier than most other cases, it's still not a fitness studio exercises. If, as a healthy adult (be it young or old), you can't lift a PC up momentarily to move it less than a meter, then you have bigger and pressing problems, respectfully. You lift (it's already on the ground, if that's too heavy) the PC sideways up work on it or gently allow it to fall down onto the side, zero hassle. Never had an issue at all. Compressed air costs like 1-2€, if you can afford a +90€ case, 90€ mainboard, cheapest 100€ CPU + 200-300€ GPU (and more) I feel like 2€ will not break the bank. I have tried to clean the CPU fan heatsink with a piece of cloth, toothpick and q-tips and it was a waste of time. Not worth the 2€ savings
  2. ThermalTake Versa C23. I placedhalf ziptied/half-screwed a fan at the front to to draw fresh cold air from the bottom and combs + placed the included ThermalTake fan at the top as mentioned (exhaust) + placed an arctic silent 3? T3? at the back of the case as an exhaust. To prevent positive air flow? turbolence?: The front is running at higher rpm while the top aka smaller exhaust fan is running the slowest out of the 3 fans (it's kind of nois anyway).
  3. I have a fan at the top for exhaust. I could flip it around to push air lightly onto/downwards against VRMs. Though hot air rises, I don't know how clever it would be to go against that. Perhaps an exhaust fan at the back/near the I/O panel.
  4. Thank you, I looked around on the internet but couldn't find any reason as to why the 5600G was cheaper/ish. This changes it then. 5600 it is. I will probably use the 5600 boxed cooler because I'll gift the 1600 + cooler. I mean the difference can't be that big. An Aftermarket cooler could also lower noise
  5. Why the 5600 non g over the g variant? The g variant is cheaper and has an IGPU included? Wouldn't you want that extra?
  6. I chose the 5000 series only because I wouldn't have to upgrade the mainboard for an extra 120€. Otherwise the choice would've been So 1700 b660 + 13600kf. I do plan on using XMP, the VRMs are gonna be fine.........probably.....right?......right?
  7. That's not true. I have flipped my machine onto the ground many times before, it doesn't require much space at all (unless you're living in one of those tiny Tokyo appartments but even there you could probably put it on your hips). You don't need a third hand for the flashligh, you just turn on your ceiling lamp or just put a lamp down onto the ground (I personally never had issues with just the ceiling lamp). Same "issue" with the 19" case you mentioned, so again, this isn't a point. Maybe I phrased it too direct / harsh or should've said "nothing personal". The reason why it's stupid meaningless is because you need an air compressor regardless whether you clean a radiator or air cooler. Unless you literally placed the fan directly onto the chip without a heatsink, I don't see how cleaning a cpu heatsink vs radiator makes any difference whatsoever. Both are a pain to deal with. An air compressor is a must-have regardless. Don't use paper towels, toothpicks, q-tips etc. it's an unefficient waste of time compared to a good old air compressor.
  8. Hey I want to upgrade my 1600 as it has been 5 years. Rtx 2060 MAINBOARD Msi B350 Pc Mate My budget for the CPU is low max 150€, I don't need anything fancy. 1) The 5600G looks like a good upgrade at 130€? (The non G version oddly enough costs 2€ more). 2) Which cooler to lower temperatures?My case only allows 155mm (sub some mm for clearance). Should I go AIO? But then an AIO could leak and drip onto my GPU and PSU which would be horrifying to think about. Historically, does it make sense to wait for any november sale event or is 130€ already as long as it's probably going to get?
  9. First of all it was my first build, I didn't even knew how to mount a CPU Cooler properly. Second of all ATX cases are 100% not an issue, literally everyone has an atx case because it's standardised across the board (pun intended) and cheap. I don't see how flashlight orientation makes a difference. Besides, who the heck works on their PC vertically. You flip it on the ground like anybody else. How do you clean a fan heatsink when all the dust is in it when you don't have an air compressor? What an utterly stupid remark.
  10. WC has its place. My ATX case allows max. 155mm take some more mm for clearance away and you caj see why an AIO is the goto. I hate people recommending the D15. Just because Noctua D15 is the best statistically, doesn't mean that everyone can mount them practically. Even if it would fit, I wouldn't trust that thing even with 2 brackets....
  11. Why not internal + adapter? From my research, external is exceptionally more expensive for what you're getting. Probably because they know business folks / people willing to spend much more without looking will gobble up these ssds
  12. Faulty RAM sticks are also something to be concerned about. Run Memtest
  13. If your notebook always runs at 95C, you definitely need to RMA that brick. That's not normal mate, that's a damn death trap. Hopefully you don't live in an apartment complex.
  14. I'm done with you. There are also contradicting sentences in your answer here but I'm not gonna waste more time hint storage and disk. There's nothing hypothetical here. You actually wrote the question fully, nothing new added no worries. The "writing" to disk is not always a guarantee. Linux, as I said can be configured to not have SWAP (Same on Windows but not sure, anyway). What else do you mean by "so full it couldn't do that"? As I said, if RAM & SWAP (disk) is full, it will kill processes. The CPU has some small amount of memory (not RAM, cache) as well. There's also some small reserved memory, tmp etc. The CPU isn't just going to burn instructions or go to sleep forever because RAM & SWAP are full. If you mean that it's about to write to SWAP but can't because it's full then we end up in the same kill processes to free up space solution. There's really no special case here. Either it kills tasks or in some abnormal cases the machine shutdowns/restarts/freezes to death because it's stuck in some type of loop due to the situation. I really don't know what else you want to hear. These are not things that have recently been discovered.
