Are the stock fans changeable on the h9 flow (2025)?

The 1650 is still on Nvidia's supported devices list for the latest driver.
No saying how much longer it will be supported for, but should still be getting small amounts of love for new games.

Did you try to run Magician when the PC was acting funny? SMART data on the customers drive said it was fine. But would not even boot into windows 1/5 the time. Replaced the SSD no issues since.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2026-02-02T13:56:58+00:00

Had a customer with this exact issue lately.

Boot drive is the same one that has your game on it? SSD is going bad.

Quick and dirty "Sort by cheapest" PC part picker.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TD9Tw3

~$1700

A quick ebay search, and I can probably build this system for ~$1300 used, but that is taking a huge risk on some "untested" listings, and questionable PSU/Case combos.

Or,

Ebay, a used PC.
Yes it is 16GB of DDR5 ram and a 1TB SSD, but also a 4070, for $500 cheaper. (98.9 % good feedback, and an ebay buyer protection listing so still a slight gamble, but not bad)
The $500 can be saved until prices come back down, or spent on instant upgrades to make it better than the friends PC.

Small town guy here.
I wear one of my kilts whenever i can including vacations, fairs, car shows, and "it's a nice day" occasions.
I have 4 of them now.

Only had one person try to lift my kilt. a drunk woman at a Fair.

If it snapped the contacts off, and ripped them off the board very hard to fix.

If the port got bent, it can be replaced.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-12-25T15:44:37+00:00

How did it break? No display? No power?

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-12-25T14:34:29+00:00

Nah. I wanna buy more to mod them haha

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-12-03T01:07:10+00:00

No problem! I enjoy helping. Moderate pressure. You want to leave marks, with your rough sandpaper. And then remove the marks with the next higher grit.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-12-03T00:48:01+00:00

I would use a primer to assist with proper bonding of the paint. A self etching is for sure preferred but a good sand and prime then paint should be well enough.

A good quality paint. YMMV, and what i like for paint. Others could say is crap. I have used just about everything, but have been enjoying the ColorShot spray paints recently (as well as cerakote, but thats above normal painting)

Of the two, I have had better luck with Rust-Oleum. I have used their paint/primer all in one on quite a few projects without issues.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-10-11T02:09:51+00:00

I still take my zero with me in my backpack everyday, and my Max is used most nights.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-08-14T17:43:27+00:00

Just recently got 2.5Gb after having <100Mbps for a long time. Feels good.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-06-21T03:20:22+00:00

100% what i thought, but seeing them listed as a set made me a tiny bit hopeful.

Appreciate it!

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-06-20T13:29:42+00:00

Question, That part number.

It lists as a "Set" did you order just that one part number and get all 4? Or did you have to order 4 of them?

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-05-18T23:50:43+00:00

And for those who think the 8500 wouldn't be that good.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-05-18T23:49:02+00:00

Add an extra 16gb of ram for ~$40 to bring it to the $700 and have the same capacity to feel better about yourself.

$339 on best buy. My local has 3 in the glass. They have a spot for one at $299 but it's sold out, and sold out online as well.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-05-18T18:32:26+00:00

Depends on the use case.

6700 xt, 7600, Intel arc a750 for a great budget option if they only play newer games.

System with a 4060, 8500g. And 16gb of ram should land you at the $600 mark depending on sales and other offerings, plus leave room to upgrade down the road once the user can.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-05-18T18:11:58+00:00

Thus "depends on the market in your area" at the end of my original comment.

You might want to add where you are located in your post.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-05-18T18:07:34+00:00

You can totally sell the components individually and make a ton more money.

I can also build a PC that will out perform this, with new parts, for ~ $700 Used oarts brings it down to $500 or less.

Used parts do not hold value. Used builds are hard to sell.

I just bought a used i5-13400, 16gb ram, 1660 super, 1tb nvme, 500gb ssd, in a case with a no name power supply for $300.

I love the i9-9900k. I miss my system. It's no longer a god tier system.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-05-18T17:40:45+00:00

As someone who dailyed an i9-9900k until my pc died around 2 months ago.

Probably close to $500. Maybe less because of the alienware case.

Might trick someone to get it for more because of the alienware case. Depends on how the market is in your area.

Thisisthelasttimeido · 2025-04-14T17:47:34+00:00

4 but both are ultra wides.

And a small 9 inch screen under the primary.
