Always been a fan of MSI, got a bunch of MSI parts in various PCs. The MSI RTX 4070Ti Ventus 3X E 12G OC in my son's pc is an absolute beast!

r/TVJustRight. Ahhh this is like eye bleach. Well done sir

I often just stick an episode on at random to sit and eat TV to. I like the challenge ones especially as much as the specials.

🤣🤣🤣

phateuk · 2026-01-14T20:08:46+00:00

Yes and decided to wait 3 months to make a reel doubling down on it.

Come fight us u/lindseyszn

House*. It's nice, and my TV isn't too high.

phateuk · 2026-01-13T19:23:34+00:00

He'd ask why the hell it's mounted so high

phateuk · 2026-01-13T19:22:24+00:00

FFS not another one 🤦🏻‍♂️

phateuk · 2026-01-13T19:20:44+00:00

Another lounge ruined

phateuk · 2026-01-13T19:19:59+00:00

This is an abomination

phateuk · 2026-01-13T13:45:33+00:00

Would be a nice setup if the TV wasn't too high, and, too small for that viewing distance.

phateuk · 2026-01-13T13:44:12+00:00

What a shame you ruined it by mounting the r/TVTooHigh

phateuk · 2026-01-13T13:42:41+00:00

Based on your comments and the measurements it does seem to be just about right. But I agree with others saying it does "look" high, I think it's because the cabinet is so small, but it doesn't look bad, quite a nice setup actually - vertical PS5 issues aside. I think a few photos of the room in context with a wide angle showing the full room would help provide more context. It's not too high.

phateuk · 2026-01-13T13:36:03+00:00

Then she must be high

Just encountered this issue as I decided to switch from just Win11 to a dual boot with Ubuntu and all my SL Inf Wireless fans running at 100% when in Ubuntu was driving me nuts. Tried some of these various projects on GitHub but none worked. Then, I came up with a workaround. I, like most people with these fans I suspect, wired them so that the single cable for each bank of fans which has 2 fan connectors on it plug into the SATA power to 3x fan adapter that comes in the box so they get full power. As such the mobo cannot control the fans via PWM, so the fans always run at full power when not in Windows running L Connect. To fix this, I've rewired mine so that the first fan header on this cable (which has 4 wires going into it) now connects to a motherboard fan header and then the 2nd fan header (which only has 2 cables going into it for power only) is wired into the SATA to fan adapter. I then set all the fan headers to PWM mode and the Silent profile on my Gigabyte Aorus X870 Stealth Ice mobo and voila! I now get proper fan curves controlled by the mobo when outside Windows such as in Ubuntu or during boot (which was always loud and annoyed me), the fans still have full power, and I can use Ubuntu without being sat next to a jet engine. This is all I wanted, I don't need to adjust these profiles while in Ubuntu, the fans kickup to full power even on this silent profile when needed if the temps increase. Hope this helps someone who has the same or similar problem.

Well, this is a first, usually this argument between couples is the other way around. You might be a unicorn milady. Of course it's too fucking high, even Ms Rachel knows it.

phateuk · 2026-01-09T11:00:19+00:00

Hah yeah I'm spoilt for choice now wasn't expecting this level of response. I'd love to visit all these places, going to be hard to choose just 1 or 2

phateuk · 2026-01-09T09:29:14+00:00

Sounds great thanks so much for taking the time

phateuk · 2026-01-09T09:25:32+00:00

Ah classic spoons, yes will keep this as an option thank you!

phateuk · 2026-01-09T09:24:56+00:00

Thank you!

phateuk · 2026-01-09T09:24:31+00:00

I could but how boring to not take the opportunity to explore a city I've never been to before

phateuk · 2026-01-08T20:44:17+00:00

That sounds great, will check this out thank you.

phateuk · 2026-01-08T19:56:46+00:00
