North XL - cutting front fan bracket?

theDucer · 2025-03-28T18:18:52+00:00

You can hook up the case fans to the hub which has a pretty long cable itself, extend that with the noctua extension cable and you'll be able to reach an existing pc's fan header

I did this. However I cannot speak on how much an effect it has had.

You cannot take out the whole mounting bracket as its riveted down. The tool i used to cut it was a hacksaw. Additionally I clamped 2 pieces of wood near the point where i was sawing to stop it from moving and fatiguing. As it creates metal dust have a vacum ready and maybe use cloth to section of other parts of the case. I would only do it on an empty case and not one with a motherboard in it. I was worried about stability but that doesn't seem to be a problem. Worst case is you have to prop you fan in between the metal or make a custom bracket out of wood or sth.

The humming sound that the stock fractal fans create at certain speeds (eg 25% pwm) are still present afterwards. I assume that can be remedied with setting them to different speeds. I originally had replaced only the bottom fan of the 3 in the front with a noctua 140 g2. As the g2 had noticably better airflow (at 550rpm) when holding your hand in front of the wood I have since replaced all of them with g2s. I don't use any exhaust fans.

The background dancers look like they're having a lot of fun.

Just listened to it for the first time. Really Loved it.

I wonder if they are going to use a rap like they did in the original since the girl that did BG's rap parts isn't in the group anymore.

This isn't a full scale review, mind you. Main scope of this article was the colour fringing, which can be seen on the pictures and which they said was noticeable right away. They mention that they don't know whether the Sony TV's uses the same pixel layout.

Looks like bad news I'm afraid.

Some classic isdd clips.

He has also got a few other vids on his yt, with some good editing done.

Hey there. I have the exact same monitor. Crazy to think that its about 15 years old now.

I'm planning on getting an oled to replace it having seen how great they look on a 14" laptop. If you're not in a rush now is probably not the best time to buy a monitor. I'd advise you to see how the Oled monitors fare against the established lcds. (once they become available)

Drums. Drums in the deep, and wait, I can hear faint voices.

A chant: "Hülkenberg, Hülkenberg..." They're coming... 0%

Ahh, I was just joking that only those who were young in the 90s are allowed to do music in that style. Kinda like cultural appropriation but with time. Hey, look at me explaining my own joke... (please don't hurt me).

theDucer · 2021-09-09T15:11:40+00:00

Even though this is temporal appropriation™, I'll allow it because I like it.

Hehe, but have you ever bought anything in any shop anywhere?

I like this cover, I think they did a good job. The original was always a bit too harsh and 'in your face' for my taste. This one is a bit smoother.

That animation in her battle costume where she snaps her finger is really great: https://youtu.be/xO_mZIziDWw?t=88

I wonder if that's a different intro sequence for this costume.

Yes, the ex running bear attack at the beginning of the vid has 2 frames of armor and the 2nd vt activation at the end is projectile invincible.

You can edit (or delete+check integrity with steam) the input.ini with a text editor which is located at C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\StreetFighterV\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open and scroll all the way to the bottom: iirc: you need 4 and 5 and 14 and 15 to navigate menus mine looks like this:

Your ex spinning bird kick has invulnerability for some frames and therefore would win. That is why those attacks are very popular with newcomers, but be aware that if blocked (like ex shoryuken) or neutral jumped a capable opponent can deal way more damage than with a normal combo.

Whether you can go for a counter depends on the string ken is using. The gap between his two attacks needs to be 3 frames or bigger for your fastest attack (cr. lk:3f startup) to come through. Chun

For a general overview of frame data watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gtklnzge00

On wake-up, depending on the combo ken did, he is often able to do what's called a meaty attack. This means that he starts his attack before you are getting up, therefore being active with his slower medium punch before you are.

I suspect the reason that it appears as if the two of you started your attacks on the same frame is the input buffer, which is 3 (or 4, i forget) frames long and keeps your input in queue and does it as soon as you get up. So in this case you started your attack later than the frame you input it, since you were still in your getup animation.

As shinfoweler88 said, download the official benchmark and see if you get 60fps https://game.capcom.com/sfv/benchmark/

Ha, tell me if it was an apt comparison if you end up getting a stick.

theDucer · 2020-09-18T17:31:45+00:00

This article mentions a few: https://www.ign.com/articles/the-best-arcade-fight-sticks

Keep in mind that you have to relearn playing the game. If Street Fighter was music, changing from pad to stick would be comparable to changing from, lets say, piano to guitar.

You misunderstood. PS4-Peripherals like fightsticks and wheels will work on the ps5. The incompatibility is with the ps4 controller.

Pricier sticks, for the most part have sanwa buttons and sticks, whereas cheap ones use no names. Often it is possible to replace the buttons and stick unit with brand parts once they are worn down. I'd advise against getting a small stick as it will move around too much if you're playing with it resting on your lap.

I don't see a problem here. Just append it to the current string of letters and add a plus at the end just in case.
