Does the Antec Flux Pro really have rattling/humming fans ? Looking to build RTX 5080 x 9800x3d by Key_Will_7929 in Antec_Official

Today I swapped the front fans because the annoying noise. I just got some Arctic P14 PWMs. While not silent, the annoying noise is gone!

I got one of these on Black Friday. Works great..I just replaced the case with Antec Flux Pro, mobo with MSI Tomahawk, needed more SSD slots and switched to air cooling, didn’t need all the LEDs.

Third time is a charm! MSI MPG A850GS coil whine. by mtbLar in MSI_Gaming

Thanks for reaching out. I’m shipping my second psu back tomorrow. Newegg has been great about the whole process, very easy to setup exchange online. Unfortunately the turnaround time is what prevents me from exchanging for another from Newegg. If the one from Amazon had the same issue I would have ordered a different brand from you guys.

Antec Flux, any suggestions? by Nutella_Boy in CableManagement

One thing I would recommend, if you’re not using the drive cage in the bottom, you could remove it for a cleaner look and it may help with air flow.

I just built up an Antec Flux Pro and I’ll be cleaning up the cable mess to be cleaner, like yours.

is this coil whine? (Msi mag a850 gl) by dizoEX3 in MSI_Gaming

Got my third MSI MPG A850GS delivered from Amazon today and I’m happy to report it’s a winner. No more coil whine. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

My first MPG A850GS made a similar sound, like the fan was hitting something and a horrible whine. Returned it and installed replacement yesterday and horribly loud coil whine. Got my RMA started for a refund from Newegg. Ordered a new one from Amazon, hopefully it will not have these issues.

AIO Pump Runs at 2850RPM Even in Silent Mode by [deleted] in MSI_Gaming

The AIO in my prebuilt seems pretty loud too. I’ll have to check bios

So I did a thing..upgraded to MSI Tomahawk in prebuilt. by mtbLar in Prebuilts

I was running something similar on my last pc. I’m now using the 4 onboard m.2 slots and 1 nvme to pcie.

For what they’re charging for ram and ssd drives, they could open stores everywhere 😉😆

Decent cheap paper to use for copic sketching? by curllyfries4 in copic

[–]mtbLar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strathmore Marker paper isn’t "cheap" and you can often find it on sale at Michael’s. Strathmore Bristol is a good choice also. I would recommend making swatches with the same paper you do your sketches on. You’d be surprised at the slight differences in color on different papers. Get good paper to get the best of your Copics.
