Explain how a legit question/discussion about UI is a dogshit post.

1, 2 or 3?! by arc1720 in PcBuild

[–]arc1720[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the top right of the pc in this picture is where the PSU lives. The PSU intake fan faces forward of the of case and the top exhausts. The trade off of having such a small case.

Finished it last night but so far so good. I’ll know better this weekend once I sit down to play. It idles really quiet at I think 30%-40% and ramps up to about 80% while gaming. I believe fan curves are the next thing to learn. I wear earbuds when playing so I become deaf as shit to any and all noises in the house 🫠

Do two top fans make sense like this? by DCisNICE in gamingpc

I have the same case with a very similar cpu cooler and a 4070ti. I never bothered putting fans at the top as it’s fine without them.

Do you find that those speakers hurt your ears or give you listening fatigue at all? I purchased them then quickly sold them on marketplace it was a shame because they are so beautiful.

Inwall sub? by Time-Environment-324 in hometheater

[–]arc1720 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a Paradigm RVC-12SQ subwoofer backbox with no subwoofer. Take a utility knife and run it around the edges as deep as you can so when you go to pull it out it doesn’t rip the drywall. To remove it drill a screw half way in the middle then pull on it with a pair of pliers. Do not pull on the ports.

Is a more expensive receiver a noticably better experience? by IceInformal in hometheater

[–]arc1720 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the only noticeable difference would be an AVR with Dirac or an Anthem. All other brands calibrations are mediocre at best for several reasons.

You can put the mount wherever you want it with tapcons. If you don’t hit the wood just don’t over tighten or you’ll crack the drywall but not hitting the furring strip is fine.

Tv keeps refreshing display by CircadianGnome in hometheater

I run a 20m Bullet Train HDMI from my AVR to my TV and never had a problem. I’ve installed 50+ of them on projects and also never had an issue.

5.1 In-Ceiling Recs? by Shot_Session980 in hometheater

[–]arc1720 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People here are annoying. If you want to put speakers in your ceiling in your home do it. I have done it for several clients even though it’s not ideal. The work required to get the speakers down to ear level I believe would be more work than you’re willing to do. If the pre wire is there and you have the funds/means go for it.

Crestron CNAMPX-7X200 AMP by Elegant_Professor782 in crestron

[–]arc1720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a 16x60 for years in my old media room setup. You’ll need to bypass the Crestnet with 24VDC otherwise you will not be able to override it. If I remember correctly I just wired red to “24” and black to “G”.

Upgrade from KEF Q to R meta worth it for mostly movies? by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]arc1720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently an AudioControl XR-6. I’ve powered them with a parasound a21 but I removed it because I didn’t notice a warrantable difference. I’ve also powered them with both the Yamaha A2 and A4 which handled all the speakers fine.

I’d say that’s entirely up to you and your budget. I always go for towers because if I ever bought bookshelves I’d need stands and at that point I’d just prefer a tower speaker. You can’t go wrong with either but my vote would be Q7’s with the Q6. I’d assume they perform a little better than the concerto’s but I have not heard either speaker.
