I was just about to say yet another reason why iOS is so much better than Android, but then Google decided to also take Fortnite off. Bummer, now iOS is still better, but not as before.

If you have a motherboard that has sensors placed in different places on it, then you can set the fans to ramp up based on the temperature of that sensor. For example I have the case fans plugged in the motherboard and in the bios I set them to ramp up based on the temperature sensor around the CPU area. The sensors that I have are around the CPU, VRM and GPU area. So you can set them to the GPU area. It's not a perfect thing, but it's something. Otherwise you have the fans running at a set speed all the time. Years ago I used a Coolink cooler on a 8800GTS and I had to deal with a set speed of the fans, but the cooler itself was good enough that it didn't really matter. Also I had the exact same problem Linus had with the memory and vrm sticky pads and what I was told by someone else, that you have to let the card heat up first and then quickly put them all. And it worked. What I did was used furmark for some minutes and quickly removed the cooler and stick those things on.

Finally I've been waiting for the successor to the NH-D15 and the new 140mm fans since 2015 or 2016 when they first showed them at CES I think it was.

High Castle was great until they fired the showrunner at the end of season 2. After that it turned into trash. It got so bad that even the main actress said F it.

You're wrong, if this was him just being wrong he would've mentioned it on WAN Show and be done with it. There was no need to make a 12 minute professional video talking about how much he misunderstood what was going on and apologizing to another company. It would've been a footnote on the WAN Show, something like this: Linus: Hey Luke, I've finally had time to watch Mark's video about the fastest SSD in the world that's in the PS5. It's not quite what I was led to believe. Luke: Oh Ok. Whatever. Linus: Speaking of whatever, our sponsors Private Internet Access and LTTstore dot com. XD All of this while Luke laughs in the background. And then it would've been forgotten and never mentioned again. Because it doesn't matter and no one cares. I've watched that video when it came out and after watching it this is what I thought: And here's the thing, nobody cares what this means from the game developers perspective. They are not in charge. Their bosses are and their bosses are and so on. It doesn't matter how cool the tech is when you can't implement it because you're on a dead line and you have to get the game out by x date because that's what the people above you told you. Do you think game developers who work for their paycheck will spend hours, day, week, months to use a new way of doing things and learning how to do it when they are on a dead line when they can just use the old way which they know and it's easier for them? Plus they are not the ones that decide what method they will use. So the perspective of the game developer means nothing since they are not the ones dictating how things go. They are payed to do a job and if they don't do the way their bosses want it, they get fired. Yeah it's a cool tech.... when it's going to be used and implemented in everything. Right now it's just marketing and it will remain like that for years. Just like all the other cool tech and ways of doing things.

Someone already said this, but the only time a company makes a public apology to other company is when they are being sued or warned that they will get sued if they don't retract what they said. That's what happened here Epic/Sony/Both sent LTT a letter telling them they will get their asses sued into oblivion if they don't rectify what they said. And anyone who can't see that or denies that is a fool and doesn't know how things work. As for the PS5 SSD ...yeah it doesn't really matter since only the first party games so the ones directly from Sony will use it if they even use it so that's like 3 games and only 1 game will properly use it and people won't even be able to tell something's different. All other game developers won't even touch it since they want to make sure their games work on all platforms the same and spending money and time just for the PS is not something they will do, not only that but no matter what voodoo magic Sony claims they've discovered with their controller, it's still way too slow compared to DRAM. All this bullshit of revolutionary SSD is nothing more than marketing made for dumb people to buy it because it's NEW and exciting and you don't have it. They should've added more RAM instead of spending who knows how many millions of dollars in developing a unless feature that's going to fade away and ignored.

Which part?

Here's another thing if they were actually silent I wouldn't complain because I would get it, they are meant for silent operation, but the problem is they are not. Especially after 550rpm they sound like a jet engine. I still have in my house some old 80/92mm fans that spin at much higher rpm and they are dead silent and actually move air. My cpu cooler currently is the Freezer 34 Duo which has 2 120mm fans and they spin over 1200rpm and are silent and they actually push air.

That's the max those fans are capable of.

This is something that the Fractal fanboys will roast me for it, but I need to say this. So in my quest to find the balance between good temps and low noise in my Fractal Design R6 case, I realized that I never did one test to actually determine the correct settings. So last week I decided to set the case fans at 100% all the time to see just what difference that would make on the temps for the CPU, VRM and GPU. Because before that what I did was set the fans to run all the time at the lowest rpm that they would run at and through the bios set a fan curve so they can ramp up when temps get too high. I was trying to find the balance between noise and temps. That's why I even bought this case because I wanted silence. I even bought an a completely unnecessary overpowered power supply just to make sure I have silence so the fan won't turn on at idle. Anyway the fans that come with the case are the Dyncamics X2-GP14. So I decided to set the fans at 100% because I realized I never tested what would the best temps be if the fans of the case run at 100%. So I did and what I discovered blow me away pun intended. It made basically no difference at all. I saw a 2 degree difference, that's it. So I opened the panel and decided to put my hand behind the fan to see how much air they push. I felt nothing. They are completely pointless. The fans were running at 1000rpm and they might've been turned off and it would've been the same. It would've been better if I took them off and stuck my head in the front of the case and blow that would actually lower the temps. Not even blowing is required, just a breathing. Even the act of breathing would push more air than those fans. I know very well Fractal fans are going to attack me, I don't care so far I've had too many issues with my purchase and it pissed me off. I was a fan of this company, but not anymore. The more time I spent with my R6, the more I find things about it that are crap. I've spent 170$ with tax on it and regret every single dollar.

Watch Jay's review of it and you can tell he knows it's crap but because he was paid by Corsair he can't say it's crap and declares that more people should buy it. XD

While I love his dedication and amount of detail he and his team decided to put in this, I'm pretty sure at the end of the day none of this matters and the results will be within margin of error between testing it the regular way and doing all this. Maybe 2-3 degrees difference.

Yeah it's back for me as well.

Look at all the new members I gathered. Anyway so it's just YouTube being YouTube. Meaning being broken as always.

Does anyone have this issues where you go to the subscription tab on YouTube and all you get is a blank page saying: "Your subscriptions haven’t uploaded any videos yet. Try finding another channel to subscribe to." ? Why is YouTube so bloody broken?

In the open layout? If so, how?

I have the R6, honestly not pleased with it. Anyway if you let it in the default configuration it comes out of the box then you can screw 2 screws on the right side. You can even see they showed 2 screws in that picture at number 3. However if you pick to get rid of the hard drive sleds or whatever the word is in English (Sorry English is not my native language) and have an open layout then you can't screw the drive on the right side because the cover panel will prevent you from doing that. So the optical drive will only be held on the left side if you pick the open layout.

The Fractal Define series has been getting worse since the R6 in terms of quality build. And some would say since the R5 because some say the R4 was the last good one. As for me personally I've had the R5 and now the R6 and will not purchase a Fractal case anymore.

I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but wait. The R7 is about to be released.

Hey look another product for Lew from Unbox Therapy to copy and sell it as his own.

Who cares if it's out of support?

@Fasauceome And @Jurrunio Thank you both. Good to know that I'm ok, I got a bit worried when I ran prime95 and saw the temps hit 85C, so I entered panic mode a bit.

Hello everyone, I have a question about what would be the safe temperatures for the VRMs in my case. I have a Gigabyte Z370HD3P with a i7 8700 non-K so no OC at all in a Fractal R6 case with the fans left in their default position. I've set the fans to run at all times and slowly ramp up as temps get higher and I'm not sure how to set the rear fan because by default my motherboard assigned it to the vrm sensor and it get really loud really quickly. Those Fractal fans are not as silent as they say they are. I've noticed that the temps for the VRMs at least when running prime95 hits 85C and maybe if I let them it will go higher. The question is what are some safe temperatures for the VRMs to operate at? Because I've searched a bit today and even here on this forum granted posts from some time ago, people say contradictory things. Some say keep them under 80C at all times, some say 100C is normal for them, some 125C is still within spec and some say even 150C is ok for VRMs. From 80C to 150C that's a huge gap. So what is it? What would be some safe idle temps and load temps? Or does that depend from motherboard to motherboard? Should I be worried? Or since I'm using a locked processor it just doesn't matter? Oh and I've found this on a review of the board "The motherboard is in a 4+3 phase VRM, and it uses zero doubling. It uses the Intersil ISL95866 PWM controller in 4+3 mode. It adds multiple ISL6625A on the CPU and iGPU rails to enhance phase count. The CPU VCore VRMs use double the number of MOSFETs per phase, while the iGPU phases use the standard number. On Semiconductor NTMFS4C06N is the low-side MOSFET, and the NTMFS4C10N is the high-side MOSFET for each of the power stages. The memory VRM uses a Realtek RT8120D for a single phase PWM with driver and then three On Semiconductor NTMFS4C06N in a two-low one-high MOSFET configuration. More Realtek RT8120 controllers are used for the VCCSA and VCCIO rails." <This is something beyond my understanding. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to set Chrome to output sound to a 5.1 surround system and stick? I've found that you can turn "try-supported-channel-layouts" on in the flags option of Chrome, but those scumbags removed the option.

Understood. Thank you. First of all thank you, secondly never apologize for offering more information. It's always welcomed. Both you and Jurrunio helped me. So once again thank you.
