Seeing as they are going under, grabbing a deal while I can. Plus to be fair my existing ones the braking surface is nearly gone.
(50mm deep carbon rim brake wheels)

 

Im still on a 3900x, looked at changing but the 5900x wasnt that much of a bump, the 12 core options from the 3000/5000 series are just monsters

Thanks mate, that means a lot.

 

Klipsch Promedia Heritage after my Logitech Z-5500 decided to finally call it a day after 18 years of service, longest piece of running hardware for me.

I could probably have repaired it, in any event, the control pod had seen better days and the subwoofer had started to hum a bit so I figured it was time.

I'm happy with the Klipsch, perfect for my current desktop setup.

 

After many fails in buying a new G Shock (4 returns and counting!). finally settled on the GG-B100

 

Received a £20 discount code for Eufy stuffs, so I bagged a second doorbell for the back door

 

Electric air duster - in preference to buying cans of compressed air all the time, been meaning to get one for a while



Alpenfohn Black Ridge - hopefully this actually turns up… the eBay listing didn’t actually have the product name in the title, just the Alpenfohn product number (which I did verify as being correct). Ordinarily I wouldn’t have gone for such a sketchy listing but it’s damn hard to find this thing in stock, and there’s always eBay buyer protection.

 

The Black Ridge manual will tell you to position the fan as exhaust. Ignore it and set as intake for better temps, and even more so with a Noctua.

 

“Exhaust” as in, blowing upwards away from the motherboard…? That seems like an odd orientation, can’t imaging you’re getting much airflow over the VRMs with the fan pointed that way…

 

That depends on the case and where the air has to come from to be exhausted by the fan…

The real benefit of running it that way seems to be ensuring that warm air is removed from the case and not recirculated around inside it, but that also depends on the case…

 

Had one for years, saves a packet even when my Dr's prescribe 2 months worth at a time.

 

Exactly. It makes sense if the cooler is sharing a compartment with a GPU in a sff case but, in a sandwich layout like the Dan A4, intake is better.

 

Move to Wales.
Cost=zero.

 

... and The Welsh.


Apologies to the Welsh but I couldn't resist.

 

Doesn’t seem to be a problem for you Sais when you come here on holiday…

Oh come on, it's not that baaaahhhhd.
