Would $300 of fans be the least effective $300 upgrade for a PC

[Ryanwake]

I've been thinking about it for days and then this video comes out and the coolers just so small so maybe the fans are a better investment

You could buy something thats completely useless for your application like an Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor card. That would be even worse than fans

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave you met Optane?

whyyyyyy the fuck?

the founder cards have a way to pass air thow it still bad for sli but w/e... so in this build it looks to just rotate the cpu cooler to benefit from it in bottom out the top. cooler master case was best at this well having 2x 200mm fans on the bottom. this makes it so you can have a solid front for thows people want want it... and we could still keep the stander ram layout of vertical apos too the btx were there horizontal. air flow is important as well as parts that are designed to use it.

 

that being said we haven't even scratched the surface of whats posable because they do things as cheap as posable not for best performance.

My Kraken x62 has been great for me. While their CAM Software isn't the best, their actual products are fine? If I didn't fall in love with a Lian Li case I'd probably have another NZXT Case to replace my old h440.

In fairness, back in the day my $100 Kraken X61 kept a 4790K sitting at 4.8 GHz/1.275V under 80C in Florida. Money well spent.

I would say any money spent on RGB is money down the drain. Fans at least could be rigged up to cool either yourself of the PC, so not entirely useless.

I just spent about $100 USD on fans, because my friends complained that they could listen my PC through the mic.  I'd say noice went down by half and my GPU remains cooler, so no regrets.

A $300 chair would be the least effective from a PC performance standpoint, but it's well worth it.

You say that, but you can save a ton of money through your private disco. No entry fees and the booze will be way cheaper.

This does not sound like meaningful topic.

You can’t run Minecraft on a Phi either
