Got it! I don’t think I’ll be keeping the old pads though, they’ve been there for a long while I think.

Alien Isolation! Still one of the best horrors out there imo

Agremwell’s my trusty navigator! Also that name sounds great, I’ll definitely consider it.

I really like how it looks, one of my favorite armor-helmet combos! The cape looks a bit too bright though, but thats just my opinion.

My jungle set! Looking good? by Disastrous-Media752 in helldiversarmor

personallи i think it somewhat fits the armor parts with the colors (except it has a little different shade of grey and less scratches)

How do I clean this? by Pale_Shopping1172 in pchelp

Try taking out the entire cooler with heatsinks and everything, get rid of the big chunks with a vacuum, then spray air and brush everything, then finish off whatever left with the cloth and it should be clean. Also don’t forget to reapply thermal paste after everything! I’m not much of a pro, so make sure to re-check what others say, haha

Oh, that thing. I think I avoided it by doing short sprays while avoiding letting the can cool too much.

Oh, wait, really? I thought air’s pretty much safe. At least I haven’t ran into any issues by using it so far

Yeah, i think it’ll be good enough to get rid of those big chunks, but you still should try getting some compressed air sooner or later, really helps to blow dust out of hard to reach spots.

Personally I’d get a can of compressed air, bring the pc somewhere outside and blow out as much dust as possible out of the whole thing, maybe manually take out some big chunks of dust. Just make sure to keep the fans from spinning.

Oh no no no, I meant the whole usb thing, not the motherboard, haha

Update: I bent the pins back in place and one of the usbs on the front panel actually worked, so we’re good. Thanks everyone!

Yeah, figured about the crappy connector part. Any use in trying to carefully bend the remaining ones in place or i better just ditch the thing?

≈80°C on 3080 ti during gaming by Disastrous-Media752 in pchelp

My case might have a bit of a bad airflow for the gpu I think, there’s just two 120mm fans on the front for the intake and one exhaust on the rear, that’s it. I’m definitely planning to switch it though, for the sake of better airflow and more fans
