    martlart got a reaction from MEE in Which Noctua Fans to Buy?   
    The three models you should pay attention to are the NF-F12, NF-S12A, and NF-A14. They will have either PWM (pwm controlled), FLX (higher speed, voltage control), or ULN (lower speed, voltage control). The NF-F12 is only available as PWM.
     
    Always go for the 140mm version if possible, as it will move the same amount of air at a lower speed. If 140mm doesn't fit, and you have unrestricted airflow, go for the NF-S12A. If 140mm doesn't fit, and it has to push through a heatsink, radiator, drive cage etc. then go for the NF-F12. The fans come with low noise adaptors, so you don't have to go for the low speed variant if you won't use a fan controller or mobo headers and want it to be silent.
     
    Newer motherboards have pretty good fan control, so I would go for the PWM version and make silent fan profiles. It's possible that you can even turn off some fans under low load.
     
    I'd recommend having the rear fan as an intake to create positive pressure, and only exhaust through the radiator at the top. Also, see if you can remove your drive cages by using 5.25" to 3.5" adaptors and place your drives in the 5.25" bays to create better and more silent airflow. I've seen many pics of people leaving empty drive cages in their computers and that just doesn't make any sense.

    Having fun with Arch and actually finding the os interesting. I wonder why I ever bothered with the clunkiness of windows as my main os. Sadly, I have to use it if I want to play certain games.
     
    I'll get to install arch again this weekend. Hopefully I'll get it right on the first try this time. I'm going to skip some stuff this time to make it lighter.

    martlart got a reaction from SubTract in haven't heard of linux since i subscribed to LTT   
    Multiple people here have said that it's based on Unix now, which it's not. Linux uses no Unix code. Linux is Unix-like, meaning that it tries to imitate it.

    And I can confirm that it's possible to get over it, atleast partially. I have always felt really anxious about interacting with people that I don't really know and I still do, but I've learned to ignore it though. Now I just have a bit of trouble speaking in front of a large group of people.
     
    I don't really have any right to decide what you can do and I don't really know how you feel about this though. I just want you, and everyone else that have these kinds of problems, to know that it's possible to get better at this stuff.

    martlart got a reaction from TheConverter in USA vs Europe   
    If the taxes were lower and people ended up with more money, the corporations trying to sell stuff would just raise their prices instead. I'd rather have my money going to the government than to corporations. This does not work as well in countries like the US, though,  where the people in power seem to do what profits themselves most.
