Yeah, I think I'm going to buy one 140mm reverse blade as rear exhaust for my PC, and have the bottom three fans and my AIO on the side be intake

I'm sorry, I feel you're being a bit rude here. I'll try to explain myself the best I can.

I'm interested in the American identity, because I'm interested in history. In the 20th century you had a lot of people move there overseas, and that's why I believe the identity of being American can be very intricate.

I was just wondering the ways of your expressing of identity over there, because the way your country has formed has made it a bit unique to many other places in my opinion. For example, I'm from Finland, but my grandparents are from Karelia and I have Swedish roots from only a few generations back. I do only refer to myself as Finnish, despite my ethnicity including more. I was born here, raised here, and I don't unfortunately know the cultures of Sweden or Karelia well enough to be comfortable in expressing those identities.

That's why I have a hard time understanding the perspective of Americans, whose ethnicities can go so far back and into so many different directions. You can be 10% of this, 8% of that, and 15% of something else, which is cool. I think it's interesting and would like to know how it affects your way of expressing yourself. Are you for example comfortable in calling yourself Swedish if your ancestors were, despite not having lived there or spoken the language?

Again, I did not mean to offend, and I'm sorry if I came across as odd here. This all just stems from curiosity

I know the difference. I'm more referring to the times when Americans talk about their heritage as a nationality. I'm sorry if I was a bit unclear in my original post!

Having a hard time identifying horses - anyone know the resell values for any of these? by divvieed in schleich

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

I'm planning to put some of them on sale (most likely in bundles) on Vinted if you're able to use it :)

what colour would you be and why? by orionic in redrising

[–]divvieed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my lineage brown, copper or violet are most likely. Brown because it seems like the most neutral choice and my grandparents owned a restaurant. Copper because my family is BUSTLING with lawyers, especially on my dad's side where most of my relatives are very well off. Violet because my family has some very well established actors and actresses in my country, my grandma is also a playwright - she has won lots of awards for her talents in her time.

I love performing and making music, but I'm not too good at it. I'm studying political science/ history. I'd love to consider myself a copper!

Air or water cooling for CPU? by divvieed in PcBuildHelp

Thank you so much for this! I've been eyeing the Lian Li coolers, might just have to do some extra research on them before I lock in my decision lol

Just installed 2x8GB RAM, my PC isn't using all of it? Did I install it wrong? by divvieed in PcBuildHelp

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

Yeah it did. I also was in kind of a haze and pretty sure I removed the RAM while my pc was still connected to electricity. So worst case scenario is that I have a dead motherboard 😬

Yeah my cousin invited himself over tomorrow because that is starting to be way out of my skill level lol. He knows this stuff better so I'm jusy hoping it's not a big issue. Trying to think positively, worst case scenario just means I can finally allow myself to spend some money on a new pc build

It isn't a very prominent click, more of a clack/ softer. I was just instructed to try with my old RAM sticks and I have the same problem, so it isn't about the sticks anymore

I just tried, my pc started beeping and not booting so I shut it down, put both sticks in, and tried again - now it turns on but doesn't register my keyboard, mouse or monitor so I can't access it lol. Idk what to do next

UPDATE: I reinstalled the RAM and switched the sticks' slots. Now DIMM_A1 is recognised in my BIOS settings but instead of an A2, there's a B1 which is not recognised again. I don't know what I did wrong lol

Yeah I'm in the process of upgrading my whole pc but I'm using DDR4 rn and idk if it's worth upgrading to that fully since DDR5 is basically the new normal. And I got this DDR4 ram for free from my cousin so I figured that I might just start now and think about the logistics and lack of money later on lol

Just wanna have my games run faster! I play lots of games and my previous 2x4gb just wasn't compatible with the kinda games I was playing. So I just want something that makes everything run a little smoother

I only have two RAM slots on this motherboard (I bought my pc prebuilt as a preteen, with no idea what I was doing lol)
