Is that how we treat new members around here? Banned for being mean to the noobies.

Welcome. It died because I left. And yeah, you'll find that's EXACTLY why most of us are here. Got tired of reddit tier content, so instead we'll just make our own!

I didn't realize there was a thread for Cooler Master cases either. I have a HAF 700, TD 500 Mesh v2, and a MasterBox Q300L in the house.

Would love to see the finished, vinyl wrapped ending of this saga. Make it yours (well hers).

Love how you went full on Toy Story with the beginning there. Fitting because they're "toy sized" parts to be honest. Love themed reading. With that said, the products themselves seem like they were pretty decent. The PSU, yeah that whole being longer than SFX form factor is a problem for sure. Glad you were able to get things squeezed together. Probably not the wisest thing, trying to squeeze 1100w into a SFX form factor maybe. The case looks absolutely great though for its size! I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I like this NR200P case or my Phanteks ITX case better. This CM case is a LOT smaller, my Phanteks ITX is more of a mATX tower sized case than something ITX. This little guy looks like its full on ITX sized, which is actually a huge plus (for somebody looking for SFF cases). Overall, REALLY great review @Fluxmaven! It was a pleasant read, the pictures were great, and the products spoke for themselves!

I voted Adrenaline drivers, only because I've never tried the Pro drivers on the 6900XT. Although, I don't think there'd be "much" of a difference? The modded drivers for older GCN based cards tend to use the Pro drivers. And those modded drivers work quite well. Not a 6900XT, no. To me though, once I find a driver that works, I tend to stick with it till it doesn't work right anymore. If its not broke, don't fix it.

I'd think any sort of file system scan that would scan for corrupt files would do. Afterall, an mp3 file is still a file.

Why does that read more like an Nvidia marketing campaign than a journalistic tech article? Don't get me wrong, this was expected news. But to say that chiplets is going to set Nvidia apart from AMD is ridiculous, AMD said MONTHS ago that they were going to use chiplets on the MI300. This is Nvidia borrowing an idea from AMD again, and saying its them revolutionizing the GPU industry. Or am I missing something here?

Let's go first search result!!!!

Fan speed % = exactly that though. The percentage the fans are spinning at, COMPARED TO (you were forgetting that part) maximum RPM. What is maximum RPM for the fan you're using? Does your card's VBIOS know? The RPM's are accurate. % is not. Even on stock cards, I've seen this same behavior sometimes with aftermarket AIB coolers. Completely bone stock cards, but "max out" around 60% fan speed........but yet insanely high RPM's. Yeah. Ignore fan speed % unless its actually a stock and accurate fan installed.

Most common RPM for a 120x38mm "bloweymatron" fan would be 3000 RPM though. So just going by averages, seems accurate enough to say 3000 RPM is "probably" your highest RPM the fan can do. It's at near 3000 RPM in your screenshots at 100% set (60% reading). I know the % reading in GPUz is based off PWM signal, which isn't present if the stock fan is gone. Sooooooooo yeah.

I mean I did tell you hours ago on Steam, the RPM reading is accurate still. But hey, glad you got it sorted.

I really like how you laid out this review E. Very fine formatting on this one, looks absolutely great. Reads easily. Great information in the review. Pictures were fantastic. And the product seems to be worth talking about too! Seems like Corsair did a good job with this RAM kit.

I'm kinda with everyone here. Have my own story. I too always wanted an eGPU on a laptop for portability performance. Ended up buying a Ryzen 2500u laptop instead. Its not just a matter of eGPU's being a niche market, its also a matter of how good integrated graphics have gotten too.

Awards? Is this another neat post bit thing? *Looks down after posting. Congrats though guys! Looks like we settled in at 7th place! Better than last year, and we put the hurt on those guys. They KNOW we're here now. EDIT: Awards look snazzy! Thanks @ENTERPRISE!

Your 69 just rolled over and switched sides. Nice!

Perfect. Been telling you to get that going. No better time than now. Well........yesterday would've been better.

Cheapazz Chipz is coming up soon.

I'm sure I could do better. Dirty dirty gaming install, nothing closed, full YOLO send it at stock / my normal GPU OC to prevent overheating. Was going to submit to hwbot but not worth it with such a bad score.

That whole article was so punny I forgot to laff. I don't blame them though, with a foldable PC, how could you not? I'd want to run F@H on it just for the lols of it myself.

For anyone following along with my thrifting finds...... I found the same Pioneer VSX 504 receiver my dad gave me years ago! $19.99 at the thrift store. TONS of power too, 135w RMS x 5 @ 8ohm (and 2ohm stable, claiming 350w RMS, although I think those numbers are a LITTLE fudged). Had a video uploaded showing (best I could) how loud it got at very little volume levels on the knob, but apparently H265 doesn't work on site?

I had completely forgotten about flash video. Good idea. Also.....Amazon store listing for the device in question (found on french Amazon), claims the following: "Format vidéo: AMV / AVI" So I would shoot for amv format, more info about .amv format: Otherwise, maybe just shoot for a standard mpeg compression in an avi container maybe?

Thank you. It's kiddo's build, he loves Lego's and Dinosaurs. I feel like I could've spruced the build up a little better, but its fine.
