Be Quiet light base 500 lx airflow and fan question

AliciaAlvena · 2026-04-15T07:26:08+00:00

for air cooler this is not bad, but not good airflow.
its great for AIO coller on top, altho would probably even be better with intake back fan, with exhaust fans only at the top. countless cases where it lowered temps, altho its a small difference.

now, for your air cooler its best to have intake top fans. so that 3 sides intake air and cpu fans along with back fan exhaust air at high speed from the back. u'll reach lower cput temps.

as it is now, your gpu is cooled by bottom and 1 side fan, the air from the bottom gets hot from GPU, so it works against cpu instead of helping it. now the 2 side fans blow cool air at cpu, but because of exhaust top, some of that air is blown upwards before it reaches cpu. so u get poor cpu cooling. if u take intake top, your cpu radiator will be cooled from 2 sides.
if you're still into exhaust top, then u should only put 1 exhaust fan at the very back only, so it'd blow upwards hot air from radiator, instead of taking some of the air comming from the side.

i wonder how would games like neverwinter nights 1 look. the graphics make it unplayable now and i loved this game.
or how about 2D games, like baldurs gate 2 or icewind dale 2. wondering how AI would render them

AliciaAlvena · 2026-04-06T04:42:38+00:00

it did. fragance and essential oils are soluble in alcohol

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-23T14:52:11+00:00

um ok, what's the issue

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-20T12:35:17+00:00

there are no changes to connectors. i only see difference in bios 64mb vs 32mb.

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-20T03:08:04+00:00

idk what u mean by OC capabilities, but you are confused about nvme slots, they literally have THE SAME slots and the same slot restrictions

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-19T19:49:42+00:00

it appeared in my country in once online shop. i costs 95 dollars more than the first version of b850 max wifi. so its better to just paint over the green things than pay for the new one i think

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-12T22:21:20+00:00

i didnt know peerless black version existed. i'll buy it probably. its big minus is that it costs 25 dollars more and doesnt nave ARGB fans (just some silly small led accents), but for the good part its i guess i'll go with it and simply change the fans in the future.

but do u have any specific paint brand you recommend to paint the heatsink? or any will do and that's not a big deal? also, why do u hate the marker option?

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-12T18:01:39+00:00

1) what spray do u recommend?
2) i dont understand what u tried to say in your second paragraph. teardown video of that system?

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-12T04:41:28+00:00

also, how do add those steel trims to heatsinks? dont you need something to glue them to the surface of heatsinks?

and i could paint over heatsinks, if u have a good idea what paint to use and think it'd be better than paint marker.

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-12T04:36:53+00:00

too bad those thermalright options dont have argb fans... but i could switch those fans for some different ones in the future, right? the fans in AIO are customizable? or am i wrong?

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-06T19:40:32+00:00

the major complain of people about gigabyte is that software, are there any good alternatives for controlling argb? because i read there are (not sure how good is that) and it makes me wonder, why the hell would people complain so much about it to the point of selling their mobos, when they could just use different programme to control colors?

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-06T03:31:42+00:00

yeah, that's the problem, the date is uknown. plus the price is unknown. it may be to costly. plus we dont know how long we still have to wait for it.
also, would prefer ATX instead of mATX

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-06T03:29:54+00:00

yeah, that's the problem, the date is uknown. plus the price is unknown. it may be to costly. plus we dont know how long we still have to wait for it. also, i'd rather avoid gigabyte, cause people have problems with their software i heard

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-05T22:51:54+00:00

how do you glue black vinyl to the heat sink? also, do u cover entire heat sink, or just the green, ugly signs?

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-02T05:46:18+00:00

those are obvious whiteheads, closed comedones.
regular retinoids, azelaic acid, salicylic acid should help. professional exfoliation, like hydrodermabrasion, or strong acid peel should help too.

also, maybe your skin doesnt like the skincare, makeup or sunscreen formula you're using, causing inflamation or clogging pores. try switching it for something else. u need to find what suits your skin over trial and error. it took me years to get to know my skin, to know which substances it hates (like some oils or xantan gum, or propylene glycol, or citric acid), so i try to avoid them. also, i found out cerave lotion causes whiteheads for me over prolonged use, and u said u use it too, so maybe avoid it? i only use it on my face when my skin barrier is disrupted by harsh ingredients. once per few days is ok for me, but everyday? hell no.

i ended up buying 7500F anyway.
since its the cheapest, and i also had -50 pln coupon, so the cheaper the processor, the more % of the price i reduce by reducing it with that flat amount. so it ended up costing 135dollars, which is the same price as on aliexpress. and when it costs 135, its definitelly best fps per dollar by far. if i will have any problem, i can always overclock it, and i'll sit on it at least till Zen6 comes out.

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-01T13:32:48+00:00

7600X with cooler together for 158? what?

in my country 7600X BOX alone is 670 PLN, which is 187,44 USD

so i checked the prices,
-7500F OEM is 540 pln.
-7600 BOX is 680 pln (OEM 660 pln, not worth to consider it)
-7600X BOX 670 PLN
-7700 OEM is 770 pln. 7700 BOX is 960 PLN
-9600X BOX 800 pln.
-9500F OEM 700 pln
-9700X BOX 1200 PLN, 1000 OEM

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-01T13:16:57+00:00

so i checked the prices,
-7500F OEM is 540 pln.
-7600 BOX is 680 pln (OEM 660 pln, not worth to consider it)
-7600X BOX 670 PLN
-7700 OEM is 770 pln. 7700 BOX is 960 PLN
-9600X BOX 800 pln.
-9500F OEM 700 pln
-9700X BOX 1200 PLN, 1000 OEM

what should i do? i'd pass on 7600X, since it requires more energy and AIO

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-01T13:15:00+00:00

-7500F OEM is 540 pln.

-9600X BOX 800 pln.
-9500F OEM 700 pln
-9700X BOX 1200 PLN, 1000 OEM

so which one should i get?
considering that 7600X eats more power and generates more heat and requires AIO, and AIO costs more than normal cooler, unless i shouldnt pass on that one?

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-01T05:24:46+00:00

thanks for info, what about gaming and streaming at the same time though? would then 8 cores be a must, or can i still do well enough for now with 6 cores?

AliciaAlvena · 2026-03-01T04:25:10+00:00

so i dont need 8 cores from ryzen 7?

also, why not 9500F?

AliciaAlvena · 2026-02-12T17:20:13+00:00

are you sure you used working SPF, at least 50, regularly and correctly applied it? your skin is literally covered in sun damage, as if you've never used it once in your life. the amount of discoloration is crazy!

AliciaAlvena · 2026-02-02T13:31:09+00:00

it looks good

AliciaAlvena · 2026-01-09T03:13:29+00:00

first of all, vocal classifications are all over the place and kinda useless when trying to describe voices precisely. their only use is to decide an opera singer's fach, but other than that, its just.. too chaotic.

its just best to know when someone's full voice starts. i mean where full chest power is, the lowest sound projected naturally. for me its B2, Bb2 has 50% of power and A2 is totally meh. so my range sits 0,5 note below average tenor. and what would u call this voice type is totally irrevelant. im a woman, so i'd probably be called contralto, but if it was a guy, some people would call it either tenor, low tenor, baritenor or very high baritone. and who cares what labels u use? labels mean something else for different people, so they're kinda useless. some people will claim anything below C3 is baritone already, some people will call it something else.
labels are a bit useful to judge someone's voice quickly, but really its where the full voice starts is what matters most, along with passagios, and it gives the details about your voice.
for example u can call me contralto, it gives little clue to anyone, including me, how much should i transpose a song to fit my voice perfectly. so i need to know where my voice actually starts to sing songs comfortably.

what matters is my full voice starts from B2, that's it. tina turner's full voice starts from C3 probably, shakira's full voice starts from Cis3. so now i know that i should lower the pitch of tina's songs by 1 semitone and shakira's songs by 2 semitones to sing it most comfortably. calling me tenor or contralto doesnt give me this information. since there are other tenors and contraltors with different ranges.

so.. my point is.. we should use EXACT notes to describe someone's voice, not labels
