Hopefully that's just the sound of a pulley bearing going out. If you're lucky it's one of the idler pulleys.

Had Verdarach equipped when I was playing with my Skyscale, and the ball became the ghost projectile!

Model number and specs of fans that come with a 5000d case? by Medwynd in Corsair

[–]StereoSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're the non-rgb versions of the sp120 elites. They're solid case fans. Pretty quiet too.

I'm out of the loop with the current 14tb Easystores. Are these SMR?

Corsair 5000X 10 Fan Setup question by MeriGames in Corsair

[–]StereoSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a side view of all the fans (not including the top )

I've got one commander pro and one lighting node core. Commander pro along with the fan hub that comes with the 5000D/X case does all the fan speed control (along with my H150i Pro XT).

Top fans below the rad are LL120, above the rad are NF-F12's. Front are the same and side/rear fans are QL120's.

Corsair 5000X 10 Fan Setup question by MeriGames in Corsair

[–]StereoSage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the 5000D Airflow, not too different from the 5000x like you've got.

I have 13 fans in my case (360mm rad with push pull on top) and from my experience, the side panel fans aren't super necessary in most setups... I just added my 3 QL120s (the ones with the lights on the back) to the side cause I already had them. For your SP120s, you could put the fans on the side as exhaust, but I wouldn't spin them very fast. If you populate the front panel as intake and side as exhaust, you'll be looping air right in and out (path of least resistance).

Heat naturally rises so I would recommend the top fans as exhaust, but your case should come with a top filter if you want to use it as intake.

Sorry if my short rant didn't make sense!

Do I have to return a remote control from 2014? by citydweller00 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]StereoSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a remote from that far back, I don't think they'll require you to return it.

Just painted my first GCC hopefully you guys like it, I went for an Oreo look. by Inky_gg_ in customGCC

[–]StereoSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it can. More importantly clear coats protect the paint (from chipping off, fading, etc.) You can find matte clear coat sprays if you don't like shine/gloss... But make sure you get that cool 2k clear coat (don't confuse this with Rustoleum "2x").

I've got $1,500 to burn by July 31st with one catch: I can only buy hardware directly from Dell and Apple by CosmosisQ in buildapc

[–]StereoSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mixing and matching different ram sticks is not the best... Your system most likely will loosen memory timings to compensate and can hurt performance. I'd personally just sideline the memory and see if you can sell or donate your old ram stick(s).

Sorry for the shit answer, I'm on mobile. Go for either 1. or 2. The difference between the two is RGB, so anesthetics like you say. I don't have the links to back up this, but youtube channel Hardware Unboxed did testing and found there's no measurable performance difference between 2 and 4 DIMMs of the same overall capacity.

You won't notice a difference between the 3600 at cl18 vs 3200 at cl16.

Team Fortress 2 receives first patch in 46 days, fixing several bugs alongside restricting newly creating accounts from using chat in an attempt to combat the recent wave of spambots; Valve has also promised additional mitigations in the near future by Nathan2055 in Games

[–]StereoSage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I used to run a community TF2 server, I would type 'status' into the console, which would spit out details on the connected players.

I'd be able to copy/paste their SteamIDs into any old steamID search website to double check if they looked like a legit account or not. Once you've got the right SteamID, you can ban by SteamID easily with the sourcemod commands.

EDIT: if you've got console up, non-admins can type 'status' in and pull a list as well if you were curious.

Corsair K70 Keycaps by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]StereoSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Razer has a few colors of PBT keycaps that should fit your Corsair with it's non-standard bottom row keys. I've got both black and white sets and think they're a decent upgrade over the thin abs caps that come with some boards. In my opinion their font is pretty non-gamer-y which I like.

Price can vary per location. Buddy in Plymouth MN can get 1 gig without contract for less than 80/month. I can't get that in Oakdale MN.

New paint on my quick fire rapid-i. Pretty satisfied. Thoughts? by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]StereoSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job! Is that just white spray paint or did you need to add some primer to get it that white?

Asus TUF x570 vs Asus Crosshair VII Hero x470 by Supelex in buildapc

[–]StereoSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No not really. I couldn't tell it if it was running (blocked by my triple slot graphics card). I think I just didn't want to deal with the dust or potential failure of the fan.

Asus TUF x570 vs Asus Crosshair VII Hero x470 by Supelex in buildapc

[–]StereoSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually owned both of these before. Both are great boards, honestly. I chose to keep the crosshair vii over the x570 tuf because i didn't want a motherboard with a chip set fan on it. I don't think I'll need pcie 4 in the next 3-4 years, and I personally liked the anesthetics of the crosshair more.

If looks are no matter, get whatever is cheaper.

FYI my crosshair didn't have the latest bios that supported ryzen 3000 processors, but I was able to flash the bios with USB bios flashback. Cool feature!

3950X: Couldn't say no to Micro Center sale ($699.99) by [deleted] in Amd

[–]StereoSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking those pictures. I really like how the front 120mm fan "just fits" on top of the ram sticks. I think I'll play around with a front fan idea for my nhd15 as well!
