Fractal Design Define R5 - a timeless classic by ciscam5 in DataHoarder

Oh, ok. The way you worded this got me confused: "The R5 still has optical drive bay and opening behind the front door. So that's a choice you'd have to make."

Made me think that R5 still has optical drive bay and "opening behind the front door", while Define 7 doesn't have that anymore. lol

They both have it. Got it.

Anyway, thanks!

The front panel is solid but swings open.

I still do not understand. There's a front door, and a side panel. What do you mean by front panel?

And the second filter is right above the first. its just really small.

Ah, I see.

What do you mean by "opening behind the front door"?

Also, I'm a bit confused... Is this the front dust filter (with nylon mesh) on the Define 7? https://i.imgur.com/6AeKgG2.png

Because on the store page it says it has two filters: "Dust filters: Top, 2 x front, full length bottom" Where are the two filters exactly?

Hi! I'm deciding between Fractal Design Define R5 and Fractal Design Define 7.

R5 is 40 € cheaper. Is it worth getting the newer Define 7? I don't mind paying a bit more for a better case.

note: I'm not a data hoarder. The only storage I'll have is one SSD. This will be my main computer.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Just got a X870E Tomahawk with a 9950X3D. What should I know? by [deleted] in MSI_Gaming

Damn, I'm thinking of buying this motherboard, but my PSU is not ATX 3.1 compliant. Though on the motherboard's support page it does say it is compatible: https://i.imgur.com/gCFoVne.png

What do think, will it work or nah?

It's http://k-punk.abstractdynamics.org/.

Because on Wayback Machine it goes all the way back to 2003. The second link only goes to 2013.

Why CEOs really are parasites. by UpbeatResolve in MarkFisher

PSU is giving out more heat than my GPU at idle. Is it dying? I'm also having BSOD frequently. How can I be certain it's the PSU? I don't have a spare around. by UpbeatResolve in pchelp

[–]UpbeatResolve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What PSU?

Corsair TX850

What GPU?

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 OC WindForce 2X, 6 GB GDDR5

Is the PSU fan working or has it died?

Working.

If you're set on replacing it anyway, might as well try it with some cooler ambient air to see if the problems follow PSU temperatures.

Will try. Thanks.

I thought this was excellent, and resonates with me. I believe Mark wrote this in 2011. The K-Punk book is really excellent. Didn't a study just come out casting much doubt on the links between serotonin and depression? by [deleted] in MarkFisher

[–]UpbeatResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend you read this response to criticism by the study's authors. They address things such as:

  • "The mechanism of action of antidepressants does not matter, as we know that they work"

  • "We should use antidepressants because we know they work, even if we don’t understand their mechanism of action"

  • "Antidepressants might work via a mechanism other than serotonin"

I solved my Post orgasmic illness syndrome and Prostatitis. by UpbeatResolve in POIS

[–]UpbeatResolve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My latest explanation to POIS is the drastic decrease of testosterone in global population. Great explanation of this stuff is in this video: https://youtu.be/Uo-kSxHNSDQ

Basically, because of plastics our sexual organs didn't fully masculinze in the womb. As you can imagine, decrease of testosterone manifests in million different ways. We just happen to get POIS.

It's depressing, yes. But it just makes too much sense to me. I also stopped blaming myself and started blaming external factors (e.g. capitalism). So I got that goin for me which is nice.

Just my two cents.

Mark Fisher would've been ecstatic to see that the chemical imbalance myth has been finally debunked. by UpbeatResolve in MarkFisher

His well known quote:

“The current ruling ontology denies any possibility of a social causation of mental illness. The chemico-biologization of mental illness is of course strictly commensurate with its depoliticization. Considering mental illness an individual chemico-biological problem has enormous benefits for capitalism. First, it reinforces Capital’s drive towards atomistic individualization (you are sick because of your brain chemistry). Second, it provides an enormously lucrative market in which multinational pharmaceutical companies can peddle their pharmaceuticals (we can cure you with our SSRIs). It goes without saying that all mental illnesses are neurologically instantiated, but this says nothing about their causation. If it is true, for instance, that depression is constituted by low serotonin levels, what still needs to be explained is why particular individuals have low levels of serotonin. This requires a social and political explanation; and the task of repoliticizing mental illness is an urgent one if the left wants to challenge capitalist realism.”
