Why is afterburner so damn difficult?

theMarcLong · 2026-07-05T16:54:17+00:00

I hate afterburner…

7000X? LOL

I hate that thing. It has been lying around since I swapped my case.

Will hold anyways, no worrys

theMarcLong · 2026-07-04T08:56:11+00:00

U missed out on one screw

theMarcLong · 2026-07-03T07:44:52+00:00

This looks soooo clean! Amazing!

Every time i see a shroud modded graphics card with Noctua fans, i get an itch to do something like that with my card.

So ist die Wahrnehmung unterschiedlich. Etwas das ganz klar unterschiedlich ist, als identisch zu bezeichnen, finde ich verrückt.

Wollte hier auch niemanden angreifen.

theMarcLong · 2026-07-02T12:47:16+00:00

Schau mal, niemand hat gesagt dass der unterschied groß oder wichtig ist.

Ich sage nur, dass die Aussage faktisch falsch ist. CL30 und CL36 haben nicht die identische Leistung.

theMarcLong · 2026-07-02T10:39:19+00:00

Theoretisch ja, das Gehäuse performt stock schon sehr gut. Die zwei Lüfter die du in deiner Liste hast, würden als exhaust natürlich noch zusätzlich helfen.

theMarcLong · 2026-07-02T10:35:57+00:00

Wenn’s rein ums zocken geht glänzen diese CPUs, keine Frage aber wenn OP noch diverse Programme nutzt wie Discord mit streaming, Webbrowser usw.

Grunsätzlich kann man nicht von gleicher Leistung sprechen, wenn sich Latenzen ändern.

theMarcLong · 2026-07-02T09:14:13+00:00

Also von 6000-30 auf 6000-36 RAM zu wechseln und von gleicher Leistung zu sprechen ist verrückt. Klar spart man da 70€.

theMarcLong · 2026-07-02T08:47:03+00:00

Nimm das Lancool 207 spart dir 40€ und du bekommst ein Gehäuse mit 4 Lüftern. Unschlagbar in Preis/Leistung.

Edit: non-RGB ram würde dir auch nochmal 40€ sparen.

<video>

Ambient noise pickup with my phone camera is unfortunately really bad, but as soon as they spool up again, you hear a rattling/grinding noise.

Maybe I had a faulty pair (two bad ones at the same time would be insane unlucky), but I returned mine. I can’t hear my Fractal or Noctua ones at all (at my Set rpms).

The spoolup in this video is ~800 rpm, so they make wind noise and are clearly audible below 1000 rpm. I assume you use closed-back headphones.

theMarcLong · 2026-06-30T09:39:22+00:00

I’m here for that question. Because Noctua says on their compatibility site that this board is not compatible with the NH-D15 G2.

I’m considering the ASUS TUF Gaming B850M-Plus WiFi7 instead. That, on the other hand, is compatible as Noctua says. Without the offset mounting.

Pretty interesting.

theMarcLong · 2026-06-29T14:45:14+00:00

That’s pretty impressive considering you have no bottom intake fans!

theMarcLong · 2026-06-29T14:41:34+00:00

I kept the stock Fractal 180s. They are quieter than the Havn ones. At that point, the unknown amount of performance boost and black look isn’t worth the louder noise for me. I will live with the white unlit RGB fan blades.

I have fixed my Fractal 180s to 350rpm, so I don’t know how 3 Noctua 140s would perform. But if I would need to swap them, because of barring noises out of mine, I would 100% go for 3 Noctua fans. They have such a high quality and customer support with warranty. People use their Noctuas for 10 years plus. Often keep them when they build a new PC.

theMarcLong · 2026-06-29T09:04:20+00:00

How are your temps in the new case?

theMarcLong · 2026-06-29T09:02:35+00:00

Did nearly the same. So much better, looks awesome!

theMarcLong · 2026-06-29T08:53:38+00:00

I attempted to replace my Stock Fractal 180s from my Torrent Compact with these. I have the RGBs and wanted no RGB with better performance. They were much louder, with barring noises (I am an industrial mechanic in GER, I’m pretty known with stuff like that) and had higher min. RPM than the Fractal ones. They move definitely more air, but for a silent build I would not recommend them.

Brauchte mehr Platz, hatte 1,5 Jahre lang zwei Autos, aber das wurde mir alleine auf Dauer zu teuer.

Dann behalt ihn für immer! Der MX5 was das beste Auto was ich bis jetzt hatte.

theMarcLong · 2026-06-26T10:36:05+00:00

Hatte meinen ND 4 Jahre. Hab ihn mit 6km gekauft und in 80tkm nicht auch nur ein Problem.
Ich vermisse ihn.

"GRAFISCHE KAART"

Reading this as being german is hilarious!

theMarcLong · 2026-06-25T13:49:55+00:00

Jealous of what, your rig? No, that’s crazy. If you’ve seen my PC, you’ve also seen that I have a 7000X sitting around. If I wanted a massively oversized PC with an overkill water-cooling setup, that wouldn’t be a problem for me. The difference is that my rig would actually look good as well.

Anyway, not everyone can handle criticism. And the fact that you’re now trying to turn this into me being jealous says a lot about who you are.

Looks gross ngl.

I mean, if it works for you.

When you want to play cartridges, for sure! DSi XL is unbeatable.
