So it is starting to cool off, in my part of the U.S. anyway. Just curious who all is getting ready to fire the folding rigs to the max to help heat the room/house. I love folding this time of the year and i hope you all do too. Lets hear some upgrades to the rigs/ heaters.

You don't need to do nothin' when you're running a Sparkle Power™ PSU.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Winter is the time of year where I can push a little more of my Ivy bridge... And of course, my a 500 watt heater is actually doing a better job than the radiator in my room...

Those 35C... I can feel their comeback already. Summer is quickly approaching, AKA time to stop the 24/7 crunching to save power on AC hours.

what do they normally run at? does the fan do a good job other than being loud? Haha yeah not having to pay is nice, but i dont mind the extra on the bill, I enjoy helping looking for understanding and maybe even a cure,
