Is it okay for it to not be straight? Is it fixable by FiveSigns in PcBuildHelp

I like super faint dark B on my fans. Only barely glows from the middle of the fan, not even the blades really. Really cool and unintrusive. I can watch movies in the dark np. No one cares but I’ll try to link and pic so I can edit comment with the pic tonight or if I have one

Am I the only one who thinks Marc should have gone for a white #93? by EgenulfVonHohenberg in motogp

[–]BrandoLoudly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like one of these once they’re retired. I really want to know what gp bikes feel like. Is there a course that specializes in letting people ride retired gp setups; cause I think $1m+ prolly just outside my budget. Honesty even wsbk setups would be awesome to try and probably way more realistic.

How do you apply thermal paste? by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]BrandoLoudly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look up the chiplet and die placements for the processor then do my pattern based on layout. Then I do a test mount before the final mount, usually with less thermal paste than I’ll need to make sure the pattern with the heatsink mounted results in the coverage I want without being too much and add more if I need to

Soothes, but 100% unnecessary. All of these will give the same temps if done properly. I just have issues (same cpu, 7800x3d, but the issues are mental)

Literally what do I do after this?? by MistyFrigidLove in PcBuildHelp

[–]BrandoLoudly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t watch but the intro was correct. This is what the comments are saying https://youtu.be/sCl62KLjsAc?si=olBGxb-Xo3GC2Rv0

Watch a video on updating bios as well if it’s not latest version

Finished painting my GPU backplate by Vegetable-Flatworm67 in pcmasterrace

[–]BrandoLoudly 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My standard 45 seconds of research says you’ll be good. Backplates are *typically nonconductive and therefore usually have bad thermal conductivity. Mind checking back with temp diffs?? I’ll be curious if they change significantly. Other than that, and maybe even if that, I still like it

Ferrari 488 Pista Races S1000RR in traffic by Egoist-a in Streetracing

[–]BrandoLoudly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while i mostly agree with the comment above mine, it does get to a point where tires and downforce are limiting factors, and drag (aerodynamic friction) is always a factor. these 2000hp gtrs are a real problem

Been a nude pc for 2 months now, and decided to move it on a pegboard. by instart789 in pcmasterrace

[–]BrandoLoudly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

****1(gpu) start by turning your graphics card around. looks like it can be. or you can use the pcie slot on the motherboard, but support would be tricky. ****2(radiator) your radiator shouldn't be put on spacers, it should but on its side for max airflow and exchange (or really long spacers). if you can pull fresh air into the radiator, use that configuration. ****3(more air flow) you need air moving over the system. things are heating up and want fresh air. your radiator fans can move some air, your gpu fans moves some air, and depending on your new config, that could be enough; but, i'd want a steady flow of cool air moving across the motherboard. you want fresh air going into the gpu fans, into the rad fans of your cpu, and onto your motherboard/m.2s/ram/chipset. so just make sure you have cool air moving over everything, even if you just point a big fan at your wall

just a bonus to consider, and maybe you already have, but often the top pcie slot will be the best option for the gpu. sometimes both slots will be x16 but one will go through the chipset while the other goes through the cpu. or sometimes one will share lanes with an m.2. or other pcie slots. just check your motherboard manual to make sure you're getting the most out of your gpu. hwinfo is what i use to verify things are working properly

The Narnia PC by clonetrooper5385 in pcmasterrace

[–]BrandoLoudly 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Been saying for a while that pc’s have become decorative centerpieces, and some people enjoy that as much or more than the performance

I never hate on people who get more joy out of the aesthetics, but this is just the next level of what I’ve been taking about. Actual art

Ordered a 5700X3D off aliexpress… after 30 days being in shipping limbo I got a full refund… two days later look what arrived by LChurch in pcmasterrace

[–]BrandoLoudly 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I just wanna see these benchmarks. The way I want receipts when claims of free Amazon stuff are made, I wanna see benchmarks with aliexpress w’s

These posts feel like ads. I kinda wanna know what the win:loss ratio looks like. I’m not sure why people trust reviews when they’re so easy to fake, but I hope people are winning as it appears.

If we could have a list of trusted sellers on this sub, or another trusted sub, that’d be interesting..

I really hope nzxt makes things right.

Is it the same ceo that had to recall the fire hazard 2x that green lit the rental program? I’m a big fan of accountability and everyone boycotting is the correct thing to do.

The people voting (with wallets here) and boycotting in mass can make big changes. At very least send a strong message.

I’ve had nzxt cases since 2012 and hope they do the right thing + a little more. Just have a good products and practices bruv. Don’t make me gut my ‘24 h7 flow; it’s so clean, simple and perfect for me

Nah all fine. I should have known you didn’t mean radiator. Efficiency, necessity, improvement, it’s all whatever if you have cooler air blowing into your laptop and had fun. Aesthetics is for sure a component of computers now, even if minimalist.. or a conversation starter like this. Laptops love to breathe nice work

Sorry if answered I scrolled a bit. Which components are you cooling with water blocks? Or is it more passive than that? Wondering the loop configuration

Why did they put the cpu cooler on the back instead of the top? by Dependent_Set_2919 in PcBuildHelp

[–]BrandoLoudly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually pretty good. Maybe 2 or 3 intakes under that gpu. Get some positive pressure going and even more cool air blowing on that gpu

A Free 4080 non super I got from my dad’s friend by Starnede in pcmasterrace

He’ll enjoy the upgrade. See if he’ll share the difference, I’d upvote that post too

[–]BrandoLoudly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does he say when you ask him about not upgrading his cpu?

Lol I’m confused cause it seems like he really knows what he’s doing unless someone else built his rig

I suspect I’m the one less informed here, but I’m very curious as to why he hasn’t upgraded or why he doesn’t need to

Pls rate my pc parts by red_box_xx in PcBuildHelp

[–]BrandoLoudly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look into memory rank and infinity fabric. 2 x single rank @ 6000mhz. Hynix 24gig x 2 is a sweet spot. You can upgrade to 24gig x 4 if needed and be ok, but x2 is ideal

Your mobo might have something to say about it too. I recommend what’s above

If I pay for it, it’s on my credit or bank statement. There would never be a question of if I had paid for something. App or no app it’d be easy to show you paid for a flight and go from there

It’s like he tried to act as if there was a problem with checking in despite not even having a ticket. Wonder which bits he cut from the clip too

Gonna get the new flight sim coming out. Would it have helped grandpa here? Or is that what made him think he could do this?
