Just put two Noctua 140mm intake fans up front and I'm loving how my temps have dropped. Made the rookie mistake of using 120s up there and was starving my poor GPU for air. Now I'm gonna take one of the 120s and place it on the other side of the heat sink for my Noctua cooler. Just got to order a clip.

What are the 1s with 5900xs using them for? I have a 5800x wondering is it worth getting the 5900x.

Bought me a soundblaster x3 for my new build cause I always wanted to try a dac for my 5.1 surround sound and I can't believe this shyt actually sounds WAY better than on board audio :whew:

Spent a whole day messing around with the soundblaster app tweaking it how I wanted but it was worth it :whew:

Since I built my new PC I don't have a CD/DVD drive. Which external DVD drives are you guys using?

I bought a video game about 5 years ago. I never opened it though so I need something to install it with. Besides, an external drive might be useful someday.

I have 2 pc's, one with an internal LG BD writer, the other pc has no drive so I bought one of these:

I know I'm old, but I always keep an internal writer. They cost nothing, and blank DVDs/Blu-Ray are disposable at this point. It's way too easy to get beat for a USB drive, happens all the time.
