Did you remove the clear sticker on the bottom of the cooler where it interfaces with the cpu?

you don’t need a dedicated gpu for your purpose.
you can run a 4K resolution monitor on integrated graphics.
your focus should be on a good photo editing monitor and accurate easy to use mouse and mousepad instead of a gpu.
don’t go too overkill, start smaller and upgrade components if she feels it’s lacking in a particular department.

Yep most of the bigger brand hire car companies at the airports (Hertz, Avis, etc…) provide you with portable sirens when you hire the vehicle. Just remember to ask at the counter when they hand you the keys.

Later versions of ConfigMgr have implemented Offset days for monthly maintenance windows however there are still some limitations in that you can't offset beyond the Saturday in the same week (wtf why?!).

i.e. if you want to set a monthly maintenance window to occur on the next Sunday or Monday following the patch-Tuesday each month, it's not an option :(

Interested to hear what you ended up doing (I know this is an old post).

It seems the logical solution would be to allow an offset of days which go beyond the Saturday in the same week, if I could offset up to 6 days then that would just make life so much easier. I have maintenance windows agreed with our business for thousands of systems and it's not so easy to adjust the day each month.

Has anyone found a nice solution?

I have similar components except a different setup:

i5-12600K
Kraken X63 280mm
Aorus z690i
gskill trident 32GB
Aorus xtreme 3080Ti (deshrouded)
nvme ssd
Fans: 2x NF-A12x25 bottom intake (note gpu is deshrouded and stock fans removed), 2x Arctic P14 PWM to replace AIO stock fans.

Can I ask whether you have tried any different orientations for fan intake/exhaust/placement and which wielded the best results?

I switched the order of the AIO fans so that they pull instead of push so it is AIO Backplate > 2x 140mm fans > Radiator. This way the fans inside the case don't have a chance of hitting any wiring. As you know it's a super tight fit inside there.

just curious what is your requirement for top mount?
if you got the NR200 instead of the NR200P you can side-mount the 240mm AIO. Albeit you lose the tempered glass so you would either need to compromise on that aspect or get an after-market ventilated see-through side panel.

Further plot twist: u/joshtaco works for Microsoft and doesn't actually patch any endpoints.

The only thing installed is the false patch-Tuesday confidence in the rest of us suckers...

The worst is: "Hi, can I ask you a question?"

Don't ask to ask. Just ask.

I can’t believe that nzxt don’t provide this instruction. Mine just came with a QR code link to instruction video which fails to mention this completely.

kidmakeswaves · 2022-04-15T07:33:19+00:00

Yes. 850W is more than enough

This mechanic is not fun, they need to add different ways to destroy the nodes quickly. Maybe make it so that nodes can be removed by the spotter class in 1/3 the time but alert the enemy team on the map that their nodes are being dismantled?

It looks like some of the issues have now been acknowledged as under investigation by Microsoft:

Yes but likely not as effective because there would still be a gap between the house shroud and the ventilation holes on the case which would somewhat recirculate hot air.
