definitely. chipsets run hot and usually have some shitty passive coolers on which you could make omelets from the mere temperature they operate at

I am a member of the PCMasterRace. I am terribly sad to announce that I own a PeasantStation 3 Super Slim. it's in a drawer away from my glorious PC.

Watercooling it is! This time, I am going to test the damn board with a 212 evo and derp gpu on the box before putting the loop in.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I found this particular fan on a fan benchmark, and it was the second best in terms of noise/airflow. Fist being noctua. But these are a feaction of the price. I KNOW THEY ARENT RADIATOR FANS but airflow fans in push/pull seem to do the task very well.

Day Eight: I cannot live without internet. I just cant.

So we should have moved by now, so our ISP had unplugged us so we had no internet at the apartment. We cannot move due to financial issues, and these issues are because of a loan that we cannot get because my mom's fuel reimbursement is NOT counted as income. So now we have to deal with plenty of other crap. I am posting this at school right now.

What happened to RMA?

They got it, were about to send a new one to my new house address, and we had issues and couldnt move. I am STILL in the apartment. So I asked if they could change the address, they said no, but we can cancel it and refund it. So I did that... I have placed the order again with my refunded money. This time I do a video unboxing.

Tomorrow the new motherboard should be here. I am moving today and tomorrow, so I might not have the time to work on it. This time I am going to do a freaking BENCH TEST to make sure the damn thing works first!!!

Day Number I lost track. But it lives!

No images for today, unfortunately.

I got the chance to install everything, all ten fans plus the 80mm on the bottom and a blower fan on the back for the VRMs. I powered it on, and loads of smoke start billowing out!!! I immediately pull the power, and figure out what detonated. I was hoping it wasnt my 500$ GPU or 240$ motherboard with its 600$ CPU or 32GB of ram. turns out my rear blower fan wire got caught under a screw and got 5V across itself... DAMN did that gives a good scare though.

All 32GB of ram shows up, and I can do gaming at around 50 degrees without hearing any fans. all I can hear is the damn HDD.
