Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Yep. But they couldn't care less about these people. From their entitled bubbles they spout nonsense about how "No Americans would work in the factories".
Okay so I threw the Superflower onto the GTR rad and wow, that thing moves air. It is a 30mm thick fan so I'd say it's just a better Phanteks T30. I wanted to try a T30 but it's just way too far outside of what I'm willing to pay for a fan at $30+ a pop. Even at $25 (buying mutipacks on newegg)...
Thermalright: TL-B12 "Extrem"
Noctua: NF-F12 IPPC 3k
Tomorrow I also have a Superflower fan arriving. I had no idea they even made fans, but after seeing their "MegaCool 120" put out some very nice performance numbers I was interested in trying one out first hand. I found a youtube channel...
Alright so I hooked up both the Noctua IPPC and Thermalright "Extrem" to a 360mm HWLabs GTR radiator, known for it's air flow appetite. I did the not-so-scientific test of tape an equally sized piece of paper on the other side of the rad from the fan and see how high it gets pushed up. Honestly...
I tend to go overkill on fans because of the radiators I have. I don't intend to run them at full blast, but I like having the option if I just want to rev em' up for some fun :D
Saw they also make an "Extreme" model for up to 3k rpm. Grabbed one and will test it against a Noctua IPPC 3k for future watercooling. TR fan was $14, Noctua was $28. PerformancePCs has some wonderful Koolance 120x38s on sale for only $12 if I want some 4k rpm, cut your fingers off action lol.
Alright, so we all know about the Thermalright air coolers, great stuff. But what about the fans specifically?
Well my wife's PC needed a gutting for diagnosing an issue and this turned into a full out cleaning and reassessing functionality while I was at it. Inside were 5x140 fans of random...
God even when AMD meets pricing expectations people still whine lmao.
Bonus points for comparing to the 5070ti totally real $750 price.
This is why your gpu market is the way it is.
