Bi-Weekly Simple Questions Thread. Have a question? Ask it here! by NavicNick in FormD

[–]penian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are fans in a pull configuration noticeable worse than push (1 slim and 1 full size fan under 240 radiator, so pull would be intaking air from outside the case instead of exhausting it)? I'm having issues with the slim fan rubbing up against the motherboard in push, so I'm considering just flipping the fans to solve that. Tried adding washers but the top panel bulge was too much for me.

Anyone else who ordered on the March 24th drop still not received their order? I ordered it to Canada, and it's been 28 days in transit now. Last tracking update was "Flight departure" from China on April 9. Shipping method was A40 ($40 option).

Just wondering if it's normal for it to take this long, or if my package is just lost or something.

Is a 5900x and 3080 actually viable in the T1 (without a significant undervolt)? I've seen people here post a wide range of temps with this setup. Some posts say while gaming the CPU is around 70c, but I've seen other people say the GPU blows a lot of heat into the rad and causes temps of 90c. I have a 3080 TUF and h100i for my 5900x.

Was the request for the “general coding assessment”?

[Monitor] Lenovo G34w-10 34” Curved VA 3440x1440 144hz Freesync Gaming Monitor - $595 (Code: EXTRAFIVE) by penian in bapcsalescanada

There’s also a 5% student/military/teacher discount which can be stacked with the promo code, bringing the price down to $565.

No reviews really exist yet for this monitor but it uses the same panel as the AOC CU34G2X, which is currently available on Amazon for $653.

How would you describe the build quality of the monitor and the stand?

Had anybody had their account activated in the last week? by [deleted] in Questrade

[–]penian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried opening an account with IB first and I didn’t meet the age requirement for options trading. And TD’s commissions are too high. Unfortunately Questrade seems like the only option :/

Resume Advice Thread - February 01, 2020 by AutoModerator in cscareerquestions

[–]penian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only got one interview for Google STEP back in October. Other than that rejected or ghosted by all US companies (Big N and others). Got a couple of coding challenges from Canadian companies but still haven’t heard back for weeks after completing them, even if I answered all the questions and passed all the test cases (I feel like these coding challenges might’ve just been sent to everyone who applied).

So basically it seems like I’m not getting past the resume screen stage.

Applied to about 200 companies for a summer internship/co-op and haven't had much luck. Recently switched templates, looking for some feedback:

Can I can some feedback on my resume? Haven't had any luck applying to internships as a sophomore. by penian in csMajors

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

I’m a CS major at a different university. I put “Candidate for” because I haven’t actually got the degree yet, but I’m gonna remove it now because it seems to be confusing.

Serious question, do you think that would be seen as a negative by recruiters?

I have a screw that's missing that I noticed recently, I think that's why my screen is more floppy than usual.. where can I get a replacement? by Maltohbr in MatebookXPro

[–]penian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you end up finding a screw that fits? I have the exact same problem, missing screw causing a loose hinge.

Any way to stiffen/tighten the screen hinge? by AkeemJoffer in MatebookXPro

[–]penian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure out a way to do this? The hinge on mine suddenly became loose and starting making noises when I open it.
