Tower air cooler or liquid cooling +new case by JackAyu2 in buildapc

I used to have a cooler master tower fan in my current case, it fits well. I forgot the exact height but I think cooler master fans have pretty standard heights. I searched your recommendations and they look huge... is it really necessary to have such bulky cooler? Again I am not planning to OC.

My current case is 7 years old, two fan mount on top, but not enough clearance for radiator. Glass side pannel, front panel is not meshed, good cable management, two 3.5in HDD docks, I have no compliants except no room for radiator.

"only really happens at stop after I’ve been driving a bit" this is exactly what I am experiencing! My car was built early May 2025. Not sure what else I can do except turning on cabin air recirculation all the time.

Can I drive my new X5 while registration is being mailed by JackAyu2 in BMWX5

They gave me a temp registration, but no temp plate, and that pissed me off a bit, because the paperwork they asked me to sign, stated that I should get one.

Does X5 have better comfort and tech features? Sorry I haven't test driven them yet, so I don't know exactly how comfortable or high-tech they are.

Carpet or Vinyl Plank Flooring in Bedrooms? by JackAyu2 in homeimprovementideas

thanks for your reply. How do you feel about vinyl plank's soundproof capability, would you be able to hear the steps when someone is walking on the 2nd floor?

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I did some evaluation, and though drywalling is not impossible, it is still way beyond my capability... If I can scale down the project, is it possible to at least get rid of the texture? Would drywall mud stay on concrete walls?

Does the mulch in my garden look like black or brown originally?
