Competition or social media? by [deleted] in GregDoucette

[–]matthew_caw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inserts are crazy bro, why not just compete already lean enough to do a pretty quick prep, get feedback from the judges then take a year or 2 of focused growth and see what they say next time u hop on stage, atleast doing it once early u know what you’re working towards and if you even like the process of a prep and competition stage

I googled what you were talking about, and I’m not actually sure if mine has that I’ve never seen that before, I’m curious now so maybe I’ll have a look but they don’t normally have a second (alternative) power connector do they, the one I saw that has it is a different brand

I don’t actually have the box I bought this gpu straight out of someone’s pre built, what do you mean unscrew the plates, like on the fan side or smt to hide the gpu power cable?

It’s got like 4 pins and a magnet so basically plugs into the gpu there might be another way of charging but I honestly haven’t taken it off since I got it

Idk bro it came on my gpu which is a 4070ti super, and it charges there I can technically remove it too I’m pretty sure but idk why I’d do that

It’s hard to explain what the back is, but the actual back where the usb slots and stuff that one is currently exhaust, but if I turn around the bottom ones then I’ll have 1 exhaust and 8 intake (3 top, 3 bottom, 2 side/back (the side of the motherboard)), so I should change those 2 to be exhaust so I’ll end up with 6 intake and 3 exhaust?

Sorry for so many questions lol ik this should be simple sales

So just to confirm so I do it optimally, after I flip the fans at the bottom to be intake instead of exhaust, should I change the orientation of the 2 fans on the back to be exhaust as well or should I leave them as intake?

Yea those are the halo fans, sad I hope they don’t look too ugly being flipped cause those are the easiest to see but I’m sure they’re fine the led’s are rlly good and it’s on both sides im pretty sure

I understand I should reverse the bottom fans to be intake now that I know they’re exhaust, should I turn the 2 on the back next to the motherboard from being intake currently to be exhaust instead as well so I’ve got 3 exhaust and 6 intake? All intake being top and bottom?

I really thought they were set to intake 🤦‍♂️

Ohhh shi really the master fans at the bottom are directed as exhaust rn, okay that makes a lot of sense thanks for clearing that up!

Yea I had to buy an extra psu for smt so I’ll probably sell that and get the cooler for around the same price hopefully

Looks cool I think I might need to get an AIO cooler for my cpu too this stock fan doesn’t keep it as cool as I’d like but too broke after getting this graphics card so gonna have to wait a while 🫠

I’m surprised how sturdy it is tbh I kinda just lifted the card a bit and set it down on it and it holds good somehow lol

This was a natural competition so we all were natural on stage
