  • Thanks for sharing your gooning advice on how to raise tension and make things feel better /s

  • Corsair will pay out $5.5 million USD and add clearer messaging to its memory packaging and product pages, including "up to" language for transfer rates and disclaimers concerning the overclocked nature of the RAM.

  • I assume the recipients of the IR presentations are basically just middle aged and elderly men in suits, but it's funny to think about a bunch of young rich weebs nodding along as Yagoo reports financials

  • Yes, but the shape of the holes/grille also significantly affects acoustics, so it's not simply a 1D scale for hole size scaling between "maximum airflow" and "maximum dust filtration". I personally doubt the stock side panel is maximally efficient for the balance between airflow vs dust vs acoustics, and thus don't think Noctua's modded panel is purely "we made the holes bigger" improvement.

    This article is very old but still gives an idea of things: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Effects-of-Grill-Patterns-on-Fan-Performance-Noise-107/

  • traumatized on demand

    So it's traumatization on demand (ToD)?

  • The holes of the original look big enough to not be doing much filtration for dust other than by passively reducing airflow tbh - seems like it serves as more of a finger guard than a dust filter.

    I'd definitely be interested in seeing a comparison of the two that includes dust buildup though. I assume there's probably an as-of-yet unused design which would do a better job of balancing dust filtration and airflow than the original pattern.

  • I am quite shocked about a fan grille swap having a 5+ dB benefit on a commercial product!

  • Something I've realized about The World Outside is that the middle part (where the other Myth girls come in) it gives me a weird corporate-y vibe because it reminds me of the Dumb Ways to Die song somehow?!?

  • Wait what it's still going

    edit: nevermind she's literally doing the ending now lol

  • Look, I don't know what you've been smoking but you should probably compliment your dealer

  • The boppiness of it reminds me their All My Fellas short/animation: YouTube

  • ??? panic selling over a sticker changing?

  • Seems like a bit of an overreaction to what seems to be a pretty minor branding change lol

  • It makes swapping GPUs marginally easier and might make it possible to have slightly tighter internal case dimensions but I agree with the apparent downsides seeming to significantly outweigh the perks.
