    How cheap is considered budget? On the cheap side there's the Arctirc F12 and F14, ok performance, low noise levels, very cheap. If you can pay more for use-oriented designs (static pressure optimized vs airflow optimized, former pushes air harder, latter pushes more air) then I'll recommend Phanteks MP fans (pressure), Fractal HF fans (airflow) and the Noctua S series fans (the grey ones, also airflow).
     
    I don't like be quiet fans because they drop speed and performance compared to other fans in other to achieve lower noise levels, which I think is stupid because motherboards (excluding those on mass produced prebuilt systems) support fan speed control and you can slow fans down manually, achieving the same result while still having the ability to blast the fans for maximum cooling if needed.

    On the hyper 212 I would use silent wings because they're for static pressure. I do believe they're a bit quieter.

    Well, the be quiet silent wings are pretty good. Or pure wings for airflow optimized.

    Quiet, and budget friendly you say?
     
    The be quiet! Pure Wings 2 PWM come in 120 and 140 sizes and are quiet, don't cost too much, and move a lot of air.

    Bring it into the house, let it warm up to room temp for a few hours (while you're in school), and it'll be fine when you get home.
     
    Or ask them to put it in their bedroom closet or something, but cold alone won't hurt the thing.

    Keep it inside, condensation buildup you might forget about could cause problems when you try to boot it again in the future.

    I wouldn't say that. Depending on the type of fan bearings you have or if you have a water cooler the cold could damage the computer. Although if there's no AIO/custom loop the fan bearings are only an issue at something like -40 C/F.

    Right.  I would hope his parents wouldn;'t put a water loop outside in the middle of winter, I made the assumption they have an IQ above 2.
     
    Also, he said 5 degrees, which is nowhere near -40.
     
    So yeah, you'd say that and did

    I didn't word that well. I wouldn't make the blanket statement that "cold won't damage it", since enough cold could damage it. That cold won't though.

    Running off the motherboard graphics isn’t a good idea. Get an adapter.

    Try scanning for viruses, even if it doesn’t, save what you can and factory reset. This is very sketchy and haven’t seen anything like this, not a coincidence that everything is maxed out.

    Amp is like the only good Zotac line, every other is known for being cheaply made and low quality. Amp and mini are the only cards to get from Zotac, or you can get something from EVGA to be certain it's not crap.

    lookpuppy reacted to mattsmi16 in Deciding on 1440p monitor   
    Hey guys I'm currently trying to toss up between two different monitors for 1440p 32-inch monitors on a budget. In my market (New Zealand) the two best offers I'm finding is the View Sonic VX3276-2K-MHD or the Acer EB321HQU which is $40 cheaper. And while on paper both these monitors look decent and relatively similar, I'm just wondering if there are any differences in panel quality or if there is anything else I should be aware of and if the View Sonic is worth the price jump. Primary use will be thesis research (Speadsheets, word docs, GIS) with some gaming.
