 @a9bc9943 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf WELL THAR'S YER PROBLEM THEN 
 @2eaaf069 @1a68afdf @a9bc9943 Likely a failing cooler 
 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf @a9bc9943 the case has no friggin air flow, no cooler can cope with that 
 @2eaaf069 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf 

Failing cooler my ass, there's nothing wrong with the case.

It's a joke, damn 🧩 
 @a9bc9943 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf I'm serious, the case sucks
Get a Fractal Torrent or something like that when you upgrade

he doesn't shove his case full of dirt when he puts together a PC

Don't worry my shop fan is doing that right now.

tempered glass

I'm gonna have to pass, I got tired of cases being loud.  Also where's the 3.5 inch drive bays?

If anything I want the XL version of my case because I want as many hard drives as I can get.

 @a9bc9943 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf low impedance to airflow makes a case silent, because then the fans don't have to spin up quite as hard. this is a fact.
If you need a lot of drives, either get a NAS or give up your pursuit of high-performance computing 
 @2eaaf069 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf 

Not if the fans are dogshit, with the exception of cooler masters silencio fans, every 120mm I've had coil whine or failed because the barrings are cheap af. 
 @a9bc9943 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf you can try out Arctic's P or F series, they work quite well for the price

I am however afraid my experience with cheap fans is limited, I don't regret spending 40€ per fan to get top quality ones 
 @2eaaf069 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf 

I think I'll get industrial 3000rpm noctua fans next :smugmegu:​ 
 @a9bc9943 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf I have one, they're not great for silence. 
 @2eaaf069 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf 

I was considering them for a while, but yeah their high end sound is noticable. 
 @a9bc9943 @2eaaf069 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf My main pc is in a now discontinued arc midi r2.  Actually has front fan airflow.  Always was suspicious of the defines solid front.  The bajillion drive bays is nice tho. 
 AWWW SHEET NIGGA DIS MAN RIGHT HURR GOT DUH FIYAH NAWMSAYIN DAT NIGGA STRAIGHT ROASTED HIS ASS OH MUH GAWWW, FUH MAYN CAINT BELEE DIS SHEIT RIGHNAO MUH FUGGUSS GITTIN BLASTED N SHEIT HELL NAW :larrity: 
 I have the define 7xl, which I mostly got because I hate working in cramped cases, though it may work as a nas if you don't want to go the supermicro route. Depending on how much heat you produce, you may want to get the meshify 2 instead, but I'm not having thermal issues with my current setup. 
 @The Forbidden Creamer  @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @2eaaf069 @1a68afdf 

I'm not really running into issues but I'm considering getting a 2990wx which will probably thermal throttle.  However given my workload of ffmpeg that doesn't really matter as much as long as I have more workers.
