FrostyRob reacted to Airdragonz in My budget pc
Agreed. And you don't need a z270 board if you want a pentium. Use an h270 instead. Same with the cpu cooler. A pentium processor or even Ryzen 3 doesn't need a liquid cooler. The stock air cooler works just fine.

Probably just got an open box or previously returned unit, your retailer is going to replace it immediately anyways...

FrostyRob got a reaction from Hiro Hamada in Cooling Soutions
Answers to the best of my knowledge:
1. If the air conditioner cools the ambient temperatures in the room it MAY make the available coolers in the computer work better as the temperature difference between the heat generating hardware and the air blowing over them (in one way or another) is greater. However your current temperatures under a mild to moderate load (as you described) are perfectly normal and not anywhere near a point of concern.
2. A power outage during any sort of electronic usage should not cause any problem. A power SURGE may, but your computer should be plugged into a surge protector at the very least anyways and if I'm not mistaken many power supplies have some sort of surge protection built in to them now as well. But no, a loss of power should not be any concern. Windows may just tell you that it did not shut down properly or whatever when it turns back on.
3. Task manager shows high CPU usage during games? Of course it does. Even old games demand the CPU work to display the images your GPU has rendered. Your power supply has MORE than enough power for any possible scenario with your given hardware. You could go up to a 2080ti GPU and overclock it and still have power headroom.
4. Turning off an electronic item should never degrade its life. Something mechanical with moving parts may be adversely affected by frequent power cycling, but computer hardware should be fine being left on, or turned off daily. It is personal preference. Just allow it to go to "sleep" and it will be fine.
5. As long as your monitor is not displaying any static image such as : No display signal : or something similar that just sits in one place, you should be fine. The main concern with that is image burn-in with LCD monitors. I never turn my computer or monitor off.
And your last question without a number. As long as your computer has enough "breathing room" behind it to allow that hot air to move away from the computer you are fine. The only major concern here is if you had an INTAKE fan close to that exhaust fan and you were recycling hot air through the system. That does not appear to be the case so no worries here.
Other thoughts - after looking at your photos it appears that your computer is on the floor, which is ok, but that does tend to create a more dusty and dirty environment. A dirty system can eventually lead to fans not working as they should and can gum up the fins in your AIO rad. I would suggest doing some cleaning around your PC with compressed air or similar to clean it out and perhaps move your computer onto a desk rather than leaving it on the floor.

FrostyRob got a reaction from BLLDoesTech in Ammo Can Rev. 2 (Electric Boogaloo)
Ditto! The first one is awesome! I am looking forward to 2.0! All of my ammo cans are full of ammo..... maybe I need to shoot more and make room for a PC!?

FrostyRob got a reaction from Real_PhillBert in Smoking Barrels - LTT's Unnofficial Gun Club!
This is exactly why I support spyderco and ZT over benchmade. I have a minigriptilian that I use as a beater and that is the only benchmade knife I have ever/will ever own.

Not as good as an equivalently priced regular headphone and a mic though

Don't buy gaming headphones. There's a tip.

FrostyRob reacted to mariushm in Inexpensive brand new GPUs being sold online
Well, officially a GTX 1050ti uses up to 75w but on average less - in theory, from the pci-e slot it's allowed to take up to 10w from 3.3v and 65w from 12v.
So depending on ram used, amount, and gpu/memory frequencies configured you could get the card to use less than 75w.
But some manufacturers may add a 6 pin pci-e connector to get a cheaper design (use only 12v instead of both 3.3v and 12v) and to have some room for overclocking, without "stressing" the slot power delivery.
So having a 6pin pci-e connector is not really a reliable indicator.

FrostyRob reacted to SolarNova in Where can I save money on my PC build?
A B450 motherboard instead of a x series. (with 4 dimms)
8GB ram instead of 16gb (add more at a later date)
A 400-500W PSU instead of 550
Cheaper Case
Cheaper SSD.
Go used.

FrostyRob reacted to RollinLower in Need some help changing thermal paste
you should add more paste than you would do on a CPU, since the cards doesn't use a IHS and any thermal paste is in direct contact with the die. so it is critical for all the die to be covered bij the paste.

FrostyRob reacted to Tristerin in Ryzen 2600 build not getting screen signal
Your post does not read patience lol...about every week I do something inside my PCs and even I leave something unplugged on accident sometimes.
Follow a BreadBoarding guide completely - this will isolate any real issue.
Hell I put in a new GPU last week and....forgot to plug in the HDMI cable. Stood there dumbfounded for a few minutes before I had to walk away, refresh my head, take a new look and see that cable lol. And Im not nearly as noob as most (more a Noob, with a capital letter denoting my superiority over noobs )

What the hell. How is someone being a cock sucker a homophobic slur? For all we know, they do like to suck cock.
I've said it before, and unfortunately, I'll probably say it again.
The world is becoming too fucking soft.

FrostyRob reacted to XR6 in Why new member allowed to create a thread?
A feature I'd like to see is that if someone just makes an account, does the usual "hey guys my computer worked then it turned off now it wont turn on again plz help thank" and then doesn't bother to log on to see the post then the post gets deleted.
If a user can't be bothered to come back to their own post to actually see the advice that has been given, then why bother hosting their thread? It's not like the thread is going to be of any use to them if they log out indefinitely and never see it again.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for new members joining and learning a thing or two about computers. But when people say "oh hey guys help me out" and then log out indefinitely never to see your advice, I can't help but feel a little bit annoyed.

FrostyRob reacted to Laftpig in Why new member allowed to create a thread?
I’m a new member and joined to learn and ask questions. I’m new to computers and this site was very inviting. How do you expect people to learn without being able to ask questions? I’m sure there was a time when you were in the same boat. Try having a little patience with people like me. Look I contributed?
